Guest kidds Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hi we are currently in the early stages of applying for a visa, and i am writting a statutory decleration at the moment . We have just recieved an e-mail and phonecall telling us that the TRA are changing some regulations regarding the MAP (migration application process) , and our application will be put on hold for approx 1 month, they can give us no more info. I am a fully qualified welder but only did 3 years training rather than the 5 they seem to prefer. I am a little concerned as we have gone down the route of seeling our house first as the impression i got was they were desperate for welders, have i been a bit naive and is this normall for the TRA to behave like this. Can anyone put my mind at rest , many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Have you thought about looking for an employment sponsorship as a plan B? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No do you think this is a route i need to take , have been adviced by other forum users that this is not a good idea as i will be tied in to a contract and on less money "their are loads of welding jobs so just apply when you get over here".But if this is the only route possible then thats what i will do. thanks.

Its better if you can get here under your own steam, but there are a lot of people here on 457 visas, I just thought, for you, as a plan B, as you are already so far down the road.

Yes thanks will look into this more greatly if i do not hear anything productive from the TRA in the next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
