Re: Anyone emigrating from Northern Ireland
its a simpler life were after, relations that live ther have told us theve no were near as much material stuff because there out of the house that much they wouldnt have the time to make use of it, here you just throw money at stuff to make up for poor life style and dark wet winters ,kids just hibernate for 5to6 months had enough of that .
Melbourne hopefully, but will decide closer to the time, as @ the moment it all just seems to be more of a dream than anything....seeing is believing and all that, and I doubt I'll be seeing any progress on my visa app for quite some time to come!
Is your agent here in NI? They proving to be any good as yet?

Oh, oops, I thought I was talking to the wife! Brickie eh...great opportunities in Aussieland for yourself, and also for your wife working in a hospital.... Would love to be on the CSL or MODL or even to be able to be sponsored by a state, but that's not gonna happen, so GSM175 really long wait visa it is lol

Re: Anyone emigrating from Northern Ireland
Hi All
New to the site! Have been reading through and see lots of people dealing with the same issues, so realise i'm not alone.
I'm Lynn, we have applied for a 175 skilled visa. We are hoping to move to Perth. We have 3 kids 17 , 5 and 4 year old.

Re: Anyone emigrating from Northern Ireland
Welcome Lynn, I'm Lynn too
How far on are you with the process? We moved out to the Sunshine Coast last September, it's beautiful but I'm finding it hard to get work. OH is working so that's a blessing.Off to bed now, OH starts at 5am and I have to drive him there so it's an early start for me too
Best of luck,
Lynn xx
