We are flying out 18 Sept. x Hi Sazzle76, Steve's interview is 14th Sept so we hope to move by Feb/Mar nxt yr. We wanted to go to Goldcoast really but Melbourne was better on the job front. How come he's only been offered a 5wk job?? did your OH have an interview in the UK ?? Lynne xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynne1266 Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hopefully Steve wil be offered a job in Sept and be meeting all of you soon !!!! Lynne x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GillianM Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hi Sazzle76, 5 weeks aint a long time, what happens after that? have you not got a QLD SS, can you move to Melbourne? thought you would need ss Vic. We are going to apply for ss in Vic as we lodged our 175 last Dec. Hopefully get job with Woods then inform DIAC of a job offer, so we'll just see what happens.

Guest Guest18443 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Martin has an interview with Woods too in September, but in Cambridge! He has now passed the TRA side of things and we're not sure whether to go ahead with the 175 visa or go for a 176 through Victoria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynne1266 Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 Hi everyone, Just wondered....if your offered a job in Sept with Woods how soon are you all thinking of making the move ??? !!!!! Lynne xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GillianM Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Hi hoo, if youve passed your TRA and thinking that maybe your OH will get a job with Woods then maybe youd be better getting a ss in Vic (176). That would be the quicker route for you unless his trade is on the 175 CSL list. If he gets job offer then get in touch with DIAC with his job offer and that would help. Thats what were doing, changing our 175 to 176. Just away to start the process applying to Vic for ss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GillianM Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Hi Lynne, im not really sure. If they need him soon then it'll be sooner. But i had in mind June/July. But i suppose he could go first. Just wait and see what happens in September. Im looking forward to my 40th on 4th June, then id go lol x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH couldnt get any longer off work in the UK. Initially we wanted 3 months to get a better idea of living and working in Aus but we have to settle with 6 weeks. Better than nothing i guess. Yeh we do have a QLD SS but by law we do not have to settle there as our visa is a permanent resident, it cannot be taken off us. The actual visa states we have a "moral" obligatation to settle and work in QLD. As we are only trialing at this stage the trip to MEL isnt our final move as our house isnt up for sale yet. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GillianM Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Hi, i just thought when you get state sponsor, you have to live in that state for 2 years? i thought you would have to apply to Vic for ss there, or are you applying for 457?

Gillian x no not applying for 457. we originally were applying for 175 but when all the processing priorities changed our agent advised we went along the QLD SS route, rather than get a work sponsor. i did have my doubts about it and being stuck in QLD for 2 years (as we want NSW just to confuse things more!) agent had checked with QLD secretary of state as our visa isnt temporary - we went through it very carefully before committing and the visa paperwork we have been granted doesnt say were we MUST live. It is confusing but I understand it now we have all the written details of our visa. PM me if you like. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GillianM Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hi Lynne. Not sure really. Would prefer getting our 176 then going over. Depends on how long 176 takes to get granted. Then its the selling of the house, who knows how long that might take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
