Maybe the Business Visa is the way to go - as I have some money comming to me from the sale of a house.
Very wise and I wish you all the best

www.visabureau.co.uk were excellent for us.
Others are http://www.austimmigration.com.au/ - George Lomabard or www.gomatilda.com - Alan Collett. Both BE posters and recommended by all that have used them.

Re: Skilled Migrant Visa - A Cry for Help
Hello - I am back!
Got some free advice from an agent. I just dont have enough points.
I have two options
1. Hope that Marketing Specialist goes on to an On demand list (generally revised in July) What are my chances of this???
2. Employer Nomination Option. I had a quick look ay www.mycareer.com.au.
But realistically - who would want to sponser me for a Marketing job??? Surely there are loads of "natives" suitably qualified and experienced???

I had another look. All of the jobs state that you have to have a visa in order to apply for them. Do I give up my dream now??? It all seems so hopeless....
