My families adventure on the road to oz via Germany

The up and downs of this migration roller coaster

Despite V emailing Thales about arranging a chance to have a chat to see what the prospect of getting a job with them, we have heard nothing.

Thing is they have indicated that they are keen on employing him, they just need him in oz.

V has finally got his IENG rubber stamped, so his next stage is to get his CDR done for engineers australia. Hopefully he will get assessed as a Mechanical engineer, which will enable a 175 or 176 to be applied for. However if all he gets is the ME technologist then our choice of visa is very limited. With out employer sponsorship we would only be able to apply for the regional visa for queensland. An area we dont really want to go to. But getting to oz for us is so important we would have to do it.

One minute we think we have things sorted, then something comes along to cast doubt over whether we can actually get a visa.

ah well back to the real world and the house work
