Confusing visa issue
Wonder if anyone out there has any more understanding of the australian visa as I have been on the ozzy house site and I'm more confused now than before
Here is my situation. Bear with me as it may take some explaining. I had a lovely surprise as my lover of three years asked me on xmas day to move to Australia :scared: (where he lives). I live in the UK. So I plan to move to Australia next November. However the situation is complicated as my lover is married and will be seperated but not divorced by this time next year so I cant get a spouse visa. I work as a cleaner but don't have any of the skills listed for a skilled work visa. If I apply for any of the others it seems I can only stay for a year unless we are married within the 12 months. Would anyone have a clue which visa I should be looking at.
Many thanks and a great site

This kind of complex question is not one that can be easily answered on an online forum. You should consider getting some professional advice on the options - one source in the UK is Ian Harrop: http://www.ianharrop.co.uk
