You have an English passport - I think it automatically adds it later... You have to load up your bio Page from you passport. Good luck :wink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest izoomzoom Posted March 30, 2011 Spent hours reading 27 pages of this thread the other night and am making a post now, so I can find it again because it gives such fantastic advise. Thank you everyone :biggrin: DH had just got his NVQ3 in light vehicle. His experience (20 years) is all pre-qualification and from some of the info i have researched, SS visas need to have 2 years post qualification experience. :mad: Anyhow, with our debts going to take 18 months to settle, and then the big save for visas etc, I can't see us being able to apply for close on 2 years. Just our luck motor mechanics will no longer be on the ss lists :frown:. Anyhow, does anyone want to shed some light on what needs to be done, and in what order. I am thinking something on the lines of: 1. Apply passports (DH is not British, so this is going to take some months) 2. Sit IELTS. 3. Book vetassess (or tRA or whoever) 4. Apply for SS 5. Submit visa apps. Am I on the right track ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest izoomzoom Posted April 2, 2011 Are all the mechanics out there up to there eyeballs in grease ???? :wink: If any of you did the IELTS, please can you tell me what you scored.
