Hi shellie

 

yes you will need a positive trade assessment before you apply for the skilled visa. Its hard work but can be done ...Good Luck xxx

Yes he is, although he has only just in the last few months gone on his own before that he worked on building sites, why is it so hard?

Hi,

 

I agree with brickie002 it is harder if your self-employed especially if your moving from site to site as need to obtain employment references from all contractors worked for if possible.

 

It is hard but where there's a will there's a way and when you get the positive result the feeling is great, as from our experience it wasn't all plain sailing but we got there in the end.
