gazsmith Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 We simply cant wait to get there also, Wanted SA when starting our journey but now its WA all the way and hopefully this will be a reality in the coming weeks with just the police checks remaining, Sometimes wish i didnt wait for instruction from C/O but suppose it wont matter come the end how long it takes to get the visa, In perth Feb 2012 looking for a home with the possibility of moving before May 2012. Just myself and my wife as no children and cant wait to start a new life and meet some great mates to share some tinnies with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOUISE RHODES Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Hi all, Me, my husband ( a engineer) and 2 children age 6 and 3 are hoping to arrive later in the year of 2012. We are wanting to move to the Perth area and will be renting when we arrive near a school. We have only just started the application process so still got lots to do but it will be worth it. Like most people, we want a better future for our children and a better quality of life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sakthikumar Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Dear GEORGIAJOE , i have seen many people waiting for a long period to get their visa through 175.... better opt 176....there is no major difference ...its really very fast.......after 2 yrs u can move any whr in australia... better do ur procdessing individually by clinging on frnds who have just got their process successfull.. try to avoid agents...as it makes the circle big... if u process by ur own..u have direct communication frm the govt..and u can strike the goal easily... all the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Prodigy71 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hi Guys! My partner, baby daughter and me will be moving to Perth in early September. My partner has managed to secure a job with The Royal Perth Hospital as a nurse so I guess the process should be fairly straight forward. Hope all goes well with everyone making there way out there! :wink: Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwgster Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hi, Good luck with the IELTS. You are probably best finding an Agent once you know the IELTS score, unless you want to do the paperwork yourself. I used Destination Oz, a guy called Mick Breene. He specializes in trades as well. Very good, no bull, straight to the point, solid advice and half the price of other agents! He was our second agent after the first lot gave us the runaround!! I contacted him before I did my IELTS, does not affect the pricing as it is a flat fee. You are probably best getting all the supplementary info together at this point too (for all members moving with you). This will includ things like certified copies of birth certificates, passports, job references, qualifications. As I am in I.T. I had to get my skills assessed by the Australian Computer Society. Applying for your 175 on-line will mean it gets processed quicker than sending a paper copy. Most people are quoting around 9months to 1 year after submitting your 175 before you get assigned a case officer. At this point you will be asked for medicals and police checks. After that, it is a couple of months before you get the final yes or no! Good luck. Hi guys, I sat my IELTS yesterday , long 14 day wait now.Can anyone tell me my next step please if my results are what I require. I'm looking at applying for a 175 skilled as I'm a plumber. Is this the best way forward?? if all goes well could be looking to move over in 12 months or so ( visa permitting) Do I find a agent next to start the process moving Please help Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it was due to my trade... tbh if your situation is fairly standard then all the info required is on line and if you hit any issues this forum is fantastic. There is always someone on here to point you in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
