Guest Molloy Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Can you please help, we are finding it difficult in migrating to Australia. Although I have spent the last 4 years obtaining various qualifications we have looked at the skills route and find ourselves lacking in relevant qualifications, and although we have our own business this is slightly under the 'turnover' required for a business visa. Can anyone please advise us what would be the next best thing to do - face to face with an expert or is it worth going to a migration conference? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Guest kdal Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Hi Molloy Have you tried calling an agent to seek there advise? We just telephoned and asked them they straight away added up our points over the telephone and told us if ok or not, lucky for us we was ok! You do not need to use an agent they do give abit of free advise over the telephone and if yours is a tricky one and they say it is possible you may want to use an agent after all. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becky c Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I would definitely speak to an agent, I spent 2 years wrongly thinking my skills would not be recognised only to speak to an agent who said we could go for permanent residency! Far beyond my wildest dreams! Good Luck with it Becky x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Hi What is it you do? What are the qualifications? We spent about a year trying to find a way in, being told we didn't have enough points, relevant experience etc, it was all very complicated. We eventually found out we could go for an STNI with Victoria and started the ball rolling. We did it all ourselves and we actually go for our meds next week. So don't give up, keep looking, I'm sure there's always a way, if we can do it anyone can. Emma x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently working as a Teaching Assistant qualified with an NVQ3 in Child Care. Although this qualifys me to run a pre-school in England unfortunately I have not got the experience to fulfil their requirements as we have seen on their forms for the post of Child Care Co-ordinator. My husband has his painting and decorating qualifications although again does not have the experience. Thank you as now we will keep trying.

Guest Mick&Nicky Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Hi Molloy We tried for ages we went to seminars and did the online assessments and were always told we needed more experience, but then we came across our agent Doulene Styen she is Australian based but was visiting the uk. She was fantastic even though she is in Perth all emails were answered within 24hrs. Her web sight is http://WWW.THEOZLIFE.COM its advertised on here. We went from not being able to go last May to getting the visa in December and we are off in August. Good Luck don't give up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest helenp Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hi Yes I couldnt agree more - try using an agent - I use RJ Webb Associates and although i havent got my visa yet he is so helpful (all emails answered the following day) and more importantly very honest. He operates on a no visa no fee process and is obliged to tell you if he thinks you have a chance or not. try an agent for advice - they know their stuff I have a question actually, whilst Im here - I have finally finished getting all my stuff together and now i need to get them notarised. Can anyone tell me where i go for this. Can a solicitor do it. I heard a rumour that police officers can do it but i cant find this on the web anywher so i doubt its true. I dont want to spend a fortune so any help would be gratefully received. thanks Helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
