My families adventure on the road to oz via Germany

A positive vibe from the weekend at Leeds expo.

Despite us now knowing we cant use my skills to get the extra 5 points for the 175 visa. We have now a few options open up to us.V spoke with a few engineering companies who were very keen and have taken his cv. One of them had a very good relocation package aswell.

We spoke a great deal with murray regional board as V had applied for a job in Mulwala and the board have said they will get in touch with the company to ensure they know they will get support to sponsor V on a Regional sponsored migration scheme to get a permanent visa. So that looks hopefull.

Queensland also showed interest in sponsoring us for state sponsorhip, as were WA.

Victoria have saifd to keep an eye out on their skills list as it is changing soon and it could benefit us.

I also spoke with ramsey health who have told me once ive got registration through with NSWNB  that if i email them they will help get me on a return to nursing course at one of their hospitals. So again it looks promising.

So all in all the expo for us was a good expereince and we have gained a lot of contacts .

So next step is for V to get his assessment done by engineers australia. The result of that will depend on how we proceed. If he gets assessed as a mechanical engineer then we can still go for the 175. If not then it will be either the rsms or 176.

Time for a nap, as i got back at 4am and im knackered.
