phearn007 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Names: Pauline, Myles (40,41) Visa Type - 175 General Skilled (MODL) Submitted: April 2009 Skills: Senior Management Consultant (ITSM) Status: Updated in July 2011 to say commencing further processing Latest: Nowt, so thats over 2.5 years and still not heard a thing, no CO. Ironic as I have had 2 475 visa's (including my current one which I just transferred to another employer so that's 3 employers) which demonstrates that there is a LOT of work for me here and they are struggling to recruit in Australia with suitable skills - arrggghhh!!! Frustrated with this whole process! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dannywh Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hi there, I have just been offered a job with WA ambulance service and are going for a sponsored visa ( business long stay ) subclass 457. Does anybody know how many points are required for this type of visa?? I have looked on the immigration website but it doesn't say. I completed a visa assessment questionaire that said passed but that was as if i was applying independantly. cheers dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Claire101 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Hi all I'm Claire (39 yesterday!) and my husband is André (40). We've just signed up to PIO after lodging our 175 application a fortnight ago. We were married last year and hubby lost his job the day before the wedding and hasn't managed to find permanent employment since so we're considering a move to Oz to get him back on the career ladder. He's an Electrical Building Services Engineer with over 10 years experience but as construction has ground to a halt in the UK he's had to resort to picking up freelance work as and when he can - usually away from home so I'm pretty much a weekend wife nowadays! The Oz seed was planted after he was approached about a job in Perth a few months ago - the job didn't happen but we did our research and decided that Oz could be a good option for us so we cracked on and got his skills assessment, IELTs etc. done and raced to get the visa application in before his 40th birthday. Now it's a case of wait and see what happens... whether things pick up here or we decide on the big move! Sorry for going on a bit, as I said hubby is working away so I've got nobody here to chat with!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Claire.

thom1980 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Names: Thom Visa Type: Partner Visa - Subclass 820 How far into process: About to Apply Job: Hoping to find IT 1st Line Support Where ya heading? Already here in Sydney, NSW Hi All, I hope someone can help. My current visa runs out on 10th Jan 2012 and still waiting for my UK police check to come back so i can apply for the partner visa. Once i have sent off the application, can anyone tell me how long it takes to be issued or until a bridging visa is issued? I really don't want to have to leave my wife and return to the UK till it is approved... If i have to go back, i'll lose my current job and be starting from scratch again. Also, does anyone know where best to get into an IT 1st line support job? I'm hoping for a career change into IT and currently studying for my Cisco CCNA, but still getting told by recruitment agencies and companies directly that no-one will even look at me till i get permanent residency which will be about 2 years away still, so starting to get quite worried for both counts. All i need is a chance... Thanks everyone Thom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.B.A. : Flight to Sydney I was in category 4 and applied as a chemical engineer. Considering most people had told me it was going to take 18 months minimum, I was very pleased.
