Been here 3 years now, had a quick shufftie on the net a few months ago applied for a job in Brisbane and as luck might have it I got it. There sponsoring me for the 457 which too less than 2 weeks to come through ;) so I start work over there in January.

So keep going with your head down, YOU WILL get there in the end, might not be as quick as you want but it WILL happen.

Its time to sit down with the wife, and see if she is prepared to take the plunge.

thanks so far guys.

Paul.

I really hope that you find another sponser. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. :)
