How did you all find out about britishexpats.com?

How did you all find out about britishexpats.com?

I found out about it after I posted a thread on fool.co.uk , after we had signed up with agents. I only wish I had found out about it earlier!!!

It would have saved me Ã‚Â£1500 in fees. Our application was a bog standard one with the missus being a nurse, but the agents never mentioned this site to us. A bit ironic given that they post on the immigration forum all the time!!

We have learned an awful lot from this site, and thanks to all the people who take time to answer questions and share opinions.

What are your experiences?

Mines quite funny!

I sold a book about emigrating to Aus on Ebay when I had finished with it.

When the lady sent the cheque she included a note which said she would hate me to miss out on this wealth of knowledge if I didn't already know about it...I accidently threw the note away but had a vague idea of the name..took bloody ages to find it though!
:D

My agent told me about this site...which I took to be a good sign! I'm using oe visas and they've been excellent so far.

I was just doing search after search for anything I could find on Oz and this came up - as you say, can't beat it for advice and general chat too! Totally addicted to it now.:)

Yes!!! You can find out everything you need to know on here.

I found it using a search engine, but didn't use it for a while as it used to be more intimidating back then? Maybe I've just got used to it though!

Yes, absolutely - it will make me feel a lot better if you don't after we wasted so much cash. As a nurse you will sail through in terms of time taken to grant your visa. Only delay will be getting references and exam transcipts when getting your skills assessed.

good luck

Hiya

I'm a Recruitment Consultant (boo, hiss) and called a candidate up about a job. He told me he was emigrating to NZ the next day. We started chatting about his move and my plans to do the same and he recommended this site. I've not looked back since and have recommended it to lots of other people.

Can't remember exactly, no one told me about this site, so I must have found it surfing.
Wish I had found it sooner though as would have not used an agent as all the information is on here. See lots of very helpful people on here.

I think I got the link from this site:

http://www.escapeartist.com/

I was a bit too shy to get involved at first so I spectated for ages, but I've got over it now. I find that the forums can feel a bit cliquey sometimes but mostly I find everyone really friendly and a bit of a laugh.

There are minds of useless and useful information on here! Both of which I enjoy!
