G'day mate,
We are looking to move to Melbourne (south east), around Nov/Dec time. Iam a chef to trade and we are also emigrating on a 136 skilled visa. What a long and painful journey from start to finish this is. Where are you planning to go and are you going yourself or do you have a family?

Cheers Fraser for the blue boxes, is this because I'm a hairy Arsed Hun. Excuse my ignorance but what are the blue boxes and what are the stars, also what is karma, is that what Boy George sang about?
James

Re: Glorious day for the Gers
 

The stars are for amount of posts. The karma is waht you award to someone whe you think their post is worthy of it. Each time some one sends you karma it adds up to a blue box, 10 points for the first, 100 for the second as it happens i give out more points than most as I have more karma than most so I gave you over 100 points hence two blue boxes.

If you click on my profile at the top and look down the page you'll see the last 5 posters who awarded you karma

Re: Glorious day for the Gers
 

Cheers Frazer,
Thanks for the info much appreciated.Good luck in the Play Off Final.

Hey James,
Hoping to go to Perth, I hear there is plenty of work out there for joiners. I am applying with my fiancee, we dont have any kids, just a cat !

Re: Glorious day for the Gers
 

G'day mate,
What stage are you at on your application process? My wife and I looked at Perth(looks stunning)but decide that it was just to isolated from the rest of Auz.What r u going to do about your cat when you get the ok?No pets for us two kids instead daughter of 3 1/2 and a son of1 1/2.
James

Re: Glorious day for the Gers
 

Hey James,

We are still trying to decide which agent to use , so early stages. Dont know wether to use an agent here or in Oz, any ideas ? As for the cat I will worry about that when the time comes. One of the reasons I chose Perth is the cheap house prices compared to Melbourne etc. Have you looked at property in Melbourne yet ?

Craig.

Re: Glorious day for the Gers
 

Graig,
We have priced countless properties in Melbourne and I do understand your comment with regards to prices ,but we are looking at approx 25-35 miles from CBD.We decided on Melbourne because I felt it would help my wife acclimatise to the heat etc.We used OE Visas as our agent,I am sure if you check previous thread you will read some horror stories about agents.We paid a lot of money and seemed to do a lot of the work on our application ourselves,but not all negative they did have their uses.

James

Re: Glorious day for the Gers
 

Hey James,

I am thinking of using George Lombard. He is cheaper than many other agents and gets rave reviews on this site. Is your agent in the UK or Oz .

Re: Glorious day for the Gers
 

Graig,
Our agent is OE Visas and is based in Edinburgh.We seem to be paying them a lot of money for the privilage of us running around like blue arsed flies gathering the information.

James

Re: Glorious day for the Gers
 

James

I was looking at Visa - go ,also in Edinburgh , they seemed helpful on the phone but were a couple of hundred quid dearer than the others we looked at. I think we will go with an agent in Oz.

Re: Glorious day for the Gers
 

Graig,
Here is a bit of info for you on costs.We have paid 2150 to our agent 400 to the TRA 800 To DIMIA AND 500 for our medicals.

James

Re: Glorious day for the Gers
 

Hey thats a fair bit of money . Have you recieved your visa yet ,and when do you hope to go . What are you doing with your house, selling or renting ?

Re: Glorious day for the Gers
 

G'day Graig,
Just had medicals on Monday so hopefully should get word back within two months.Were are looking at selling the house as we are going out to Auz with the attitude that we ain't coming back.Looking at moving before December so that we can enrol our daughter into school before end of term.
