Purple Princess Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I wonder if someone could point me in the right direction please? I am currently in Australia, (2 years in December) and so far we love it!! My family and I came over on a student visa and I have now completed 2 years of my degree with 1 year left. We have settled here, daughter in the local school and have purchased our own home. I am looking for advice on options for us to stay permanently in the country and think that I can apply for state sponsorship as my job has appeared on schedule 2 of the sol. Providing I get IELTS I would have 70 points. However, it would be my intention to stay at Uni and finish my degree, and possibly pick up part time work (which is what I'm doing at the moment). Is it possible to get state sponsorship and not work or only work part time? Or, would it be better for me to stay on my student visa and look at permanent migration options after graduation? My only concern with this is I hit the big 40 in February next year which would reduce my points total. I would be happy to speak to a migration expert if anyone knows of a good one on the Gold Coast??? Thanks in advance :notworthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
