Guest Scarletfever Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Hi Gill, have you tried speaking to an agent? They can sometimes find you the points when you think you've exhausted every avenue. It worked for me. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Scarletfever Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Hi Gill, I'm using Doulene Steyn from Active Migration Australia who are based in Perth. She has a banner advert on this site called OZLIFE.com http://www.activemigration.com.au/index.php I'm not suggesting that you employ one straight off, but you can fill in the free online assesment and she'll only be too willing to answer any queries you may have. The quote I had was for about £3,500. but loads of people on here have done it themselves. Good luck, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynne2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 We are going out on a 457 sponsored visa as i we didnt get enough points for the 136, see what agent says first as they may have an answer for you, if not then let me know and i will get you more info to check out sponsorship. :wink: Lynne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Scarletfever Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Hi Gill. No I'm still here in the Uk, looking out of the window, rain........wind.........I should be painting the bathroom ready for selling but have lost the will for that! There's numerous sites advertising jobs around, I'll post a link for a few of them for you to have a look at. I don't have my visa yet, I've only just applied for TRA but I'm using an agent as I can't afford to wait for too long......43 and getting nearer the dreaded 45!!! I'm going down the route of 'Skilled Independant Visa 136' so I didn't need any of my wifes skills to be assesed. It really is worth while getting the advice of an agent just to see if you can get over. I probably wouldn't bother looking for work before I got over there as most posts in the building game are for PR anyway. I'll just look at the situation when I go over for a reccie next year and concentrate on getting a job when I have too!!!!!! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
