Visa is pending. Should have it in a month or 2. Just trying to get the bigger picture? As we won't be going until I can secure a job as I have a young family. Thanx

Hi mark,

you would really need to be out here mate so as you can have an interview or if you can arrange Skype interview good luck. seek is good as is google search.

are you coming on a pr visa then I take it, as some employers ask just to be sure your gona be around.

been here 7 weeks mate and nearly pulled the plug closer to the time but ye just have to make the jump and you will get work if your not too fussy.

All the best

Hi

just wanted to ask if anyone in this trade has been able to find work on a supervised license.

Were just at the start of the process and getting a lot of doom and gloom with guys trying to get supervised jobs so they can work towards their license.

If anyone has any experience it would've great to hear from you?

Thanks

theres an abundance of work here! im a plumber, been here 7 weeks had 3 interviews set up for the first week only one of them to do with plumbing the other 2 were mechanical type jobs where the plumbing skills and experience were transferable. haven't did my gap training yet, due to do it end of march. know a couple of guys in the lecky trade and have spoken to people, you've got to be flexible and put yourself out there. im lookin at getting my restricted electrical licence once ive got my plumbing licence as there are a few jobs askin for it. double the amount of work here for sparks as there is plumbing.

al the best.

Just got my 190 visa this week and used destination oz. mick knows what he is talking about and came highly recommended. Always available for any questions.

May i take this opportunity to thank this forum, its moderators and anyone who has contributed to it.

I would also like to recommend Destination Oz to anyone who would like some friendly and very useful help with the whole process.

Without Micks help on all the technical jargon with the process it would have been a longer journey indeed.

Again many thanks all and i will see you all in Perth very soon.

David

Bloody el exactly a year ago this week we started this process and finally got it. Worrying is finally over!

Congrats nancy, well done.

Yipeeeyoooo yipeeyeyyyy. visa granted! For me and my fiancee good times indeed!

well done, good luck!

Congrats andy, all the best to ye!

I tried to predict when I would get the co and then booked meds and police checks in for the 5 week point after main application.

At the moment co allocation could be between 5 and 10 weeks. Up to you but I would go with agents advise.

Hi all.

I was just rechecking my record of responses for my 190 points based application and on page 3 it asked a question about previous travel to Australia and if I had applied for a visa before. there isn't any yes or no reply after the question and I cant remember what I put down as it was a couple of months ago.co has just asked for police checks as the only doc required but I like to cover all bases and be covered. I am going to submit a covering letter unless anyone has had the same dilemma. I know there is a form 1023 but I was thinking it might be a glitch in the system and just didn't get printed.

Many thanks in advance,

David

Co allocated 2day requesting pccs for me and wife.

co assigned after 7 weeks and 4 days! get in! sun shines on the dogs!

Brisbane team 33.

ive got mine and the wifes pccs. still waiting on those after 2 weeks. I didn't get my employment references uploaded or any of my payslips but I was going ott on the docs, I was bloody possessd with it.

I'm waitin on co now. Start of week 8 on the chuff chart lol! I need co to upload more docs as I ran out of room. They'll still be goin through my docs at Xmas!

No health examinations are required for this person for this visa subclass based on the information provided to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship.

This is what is on the Evisa application in place of organise you health examinations.

Hope this helps some people.

Nancy the organise your health check will change had ours done this-morning and it changed this afternoon to say diac had received or words to that effect.

Medicals completed this morning with no problems. got back this afternoon and my 2 year olds organise health examinations has came off the Evisa already with ours due to be on there by Wednesday. Very efficient!

Well done, congrats!

Very informative post many thanks have got our medicals on Monday.

I've got our police checks sent off last Monday and I have our medicals booked for next Monday which will be the start of week 8. A lot of changes have happened in July and prices changing again in September plus there has been quite a bit of admin downtime with the skillselect system. Timings will definitely slip. Spoke 2 oz based sister in law and she got co after 6 weeks, that was feb 2012.

Congratulations ,good effort!

Congratulations Clare well done. could you post your timeline please.
