jameskristie Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Well!.... my wife has wanted to move to oz since she was 12, she's nearly 28 and has been several times. I said that i would visit various placeS, Australia, New Zealand & Canada, i spent a month this november in oz & nz, i knew straight away it was oz for me. When i got back i stated the ball rolling to get a 189 but then got a call from a friend who went 6 month ago saying his company was willing to sponsor me on a 457, it was too good an opportunity to turn down. I am going to be working as an aerial rigger, i have been a telecoms tech & worked for the same company for 12 years, bit daunting going to a new company but i have two friends that are enjoying working for them so it's a good bet. My wifes best friend is also the lad who's got me the jobs wife so we will be moving in with them, it's all coming together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah297 Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 CONGRATULATIONS jameskristie. You must be very excited. Did you have to wait long for your visa to be granted? There is a delay at the moment with visa's being granted. We are patiently waiting for our 190 visa to be granted and want to relocate to Perth. It is so frustrating as it will help us secure a job. Have you book flights with extra baggage allowance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameskristie Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Very excited! It took 19 days from my visa application being submitted to it being granted. I'm am not booking flights as my new company is paying and booking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
