Hello
First time I have posted although I have been reading all the other threads for a few months now.
We are submitting our visa hopefully this week (designated area sponsored) we are hoping to move to Melbourne, hubby and two kids 10 & 9.
I have 2 sisters over there so I am really lucky as I have somewhere to live until we buy a house (that's if we get visa).
It took us 3 attempts at the TRA (first 2 attempts by ourselves and finally contacted law firm in Oz) to finally get them to accept that hubby is a joiner/carpenter.
My agent is finalising paperwork right now with my sister who is sponsoring us, it is a long process, the problem we have hubby is 45 in July, so we have front loaded medicals and police reports.
We currently stay in Scotland.

She hit my 6 year old with a funny stick thing saying "Did you feel that darling" Daughter just looked wide eyed. My husband and I had to struggle to hold ourselves together when it was our turns to be hit. To think I worried for months about the medical.
It was one of the most bizarre experiences ever.

And welcome to the most additive website ever!!!!
We emigrated in Jan05 on a 139 visa, our's also only took 6 months until it was granted, so compared to most of the visa's it's quick, so you will not have to long to wait!!
Good luck with the visa.

By the time I got to the place (got lost) my blood pressure was sky high so they took kids and hubby first and left me to the end.
