Guest welshie4oz Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 We are moving to Perth at the end of February. Does anyone have any idea what the job situation is like in IT? My husband is an Analyst Programmer specialising in Oracle. I have looked on Seek.com and other sites, but would like to hear it from people in the field if possible. Thanks in advance.

Guest juliemtaylor Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hi, good luck, hope someone replies as we are interested too. My OH is into Lotus Notes/Java developer Tech team Leader so we may end up in Perth if we have to do the state sponsored route, and we have lots of rellies/contacts there.

Julie IT WAG Hi Julie Thanks for your reply. I'm hoping we get replies too as starting to worry about jobs now our leaving date is getting nearer. Good luck with the ACS, we've been down that road. We're going on a sponsored visa. Jo xx :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest juliemtaylor Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Is that a 176 WA sponsored visa? if so how long did that take? Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest welshie4oz Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Is that a 176 WA sponsored visa? if so how long did that take? Julie Yes it is a 176. Our agent sent a paper application in February 2008 and we got our visa in November. Jo x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest welshie4oz Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Was the WA sponsorship hard? and how long to get WA ok before lodging the visa? Julie x Hi Julie No the sponsorship wasn't difficult. Once we got the OK from the ACS which took about three months. OH completed the application form which couldn't have been difficult as he doesn't remember doing it lol. All he remembers is that they wanted to know how much money you were taking with you. This was sent off with the ACS approval and we received our sponsorship within 6 weeks, it would have been quicker but it was the Christmas period. We do remember our agent saying that once we've got the ok from the ACS the sponsorship shouldn't be a problem. Good Luck Jo x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
