Guest scotty j Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Hey Gill thanks for the reply I hope the process runs smoothly for us both, is your husband having to take the AQF first, im just wondering how long it will take and if we will get it through before the july date, I have had a message from go matilda and am expecting a call sometime this week , so fingers crossed, Im hoping ill know where i stand and what steps to take, as right now im a little mixed up as what to do onw way or the other. My heart tells me to just dive in and go for it, start the process get the visa (hopefully) get to Oz, but another part of me wantS to try to make sense of everything ,which is not easy to do at the minute, and then asscess the situation from there, :arghh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he is taking the AQF. Our agent has said if we crack on, we will have it all in and submitted before the 1st of July, basically we are just going with their advice, that's all we can do at this stage, as they know a lot better than us I should imagine, well i'am hoping so! We desperately want our visas, and sooner the better as far as we're concerned, we know we are taking risks, but to be honest we don't feel like we have much choice at the moment. I can't tell you what to do Scotty, only you can decide, but if you are going to go for it, then get cracking, I say, time is ticking. If you want to know about anything Scotty, feel free to PM us and we will help you as much as we can. Regards, Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proview220 Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 Hi Proview Its the waiting, its a killer..... My guess is that the DIAC will put SS up to cat 2..... if this were to be true I am not holding my breath for getting my visa this year, presuming I apply in March. Just hope the DIAC dont cock up the system again with these new changes due in April/July.... Cheers Carlos Sounds like a good call of action to me, I hope this is to be the case as it makes sense if a state is willing to sponsor you, then you should be given priority, If the states are finding it hard for trades then why the hell are they still giving ss out, then for us to be left with a carrot!! proview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why go through the long process of checking out someone for SS only to then say later, thanks but no thanks. I'm with you when you say they are going to need trades. This is always going to happen, its just like the UK there is so much money earned in providing homes for people, people who have money to spend.....household services, cars, groceries, kids stuff.....etc..etc...etc.... WA is a state with big building plans and the space to do it !!!, and as you would know Carpenters are always needed on site because were the only clever ones who can read a drawing on site !!!!!!!!!!!!:biggrin::wink::yes: .... think i've opened a can of worms now !!

Guest bindog1uk Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 good point that Lesley, but how long is the recession going to last i wonder ??? i hope we get good news with the changes to come on the new cat 2? Don't think that it has been as bad over there as it has been here, but i'm not holding out too much hope that we move to Cat2 on the new list [ that would be too much good news]. If it does happen it's just a bonus, still hoping to be over there by the end of this year though, our application was August 13th, but we've only just got S.S. and it seems to be going in no particular order, so I guess that it's just pot luck. Do hope that it's good news for all tradies when the new list does come out, someone's got to build our new homes.:biggrin:Lesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Proview, I dont know if you seen this mentioned on another thread but it looks very promising for SS Visa applicants regarding priority but not only that, but it also looks like that Queensland is going to be booming with work in the very near future.

Guest Tanjev Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 So here we go in my pesimistic way. The new (not finaly) llist doesnt show cabinetmakers. Thats what i suggest before and now its reality:goofy: The consequences will be (may) that im not allowed to move from Cat5 to Cat2 and the waiting game is a endless fu..ing story.
