Not nervous at all, I'm really excited especially today as we have had news about our house sale and we complete next Monday, so I have a bit of an Adrenalin rush just now. I think I'll have to go to the pub to calm down
Never been before, but I just know that it's right.

For all new peeps there is a site called http://www.austimeline.com/ .
People enter their application timelines and you can get an idea how long it takes (in general). You will come to love and hate the site.

Documents needed for Visa Application
Hello Again!
Can anyone tell me what documents and paperwork are needed for a skilled Visa application so I can try and get some ready
Also do I have to show any documentation when it is my partner who is applying?

Wendy you are like us, everyone looks at me daft when I say I want to go and live somewhere I have never been! But I know it will be the right thing to do.

See here - Post 5
Before you do any of this you'll have to have your OH's skills assessed by the TRA. Info here
Providing you have enough points then you just need TRA for your hubby. But you will need copies of things for the Visa application for all applicants (Hubby, You and kids if you have them).
Download booklet 6 from www.immi.gov.au and that will tell you all you need to know.
