help,help.We have just received booklet 6,skilled migration and the contents have already blew our minds,so much paperwork.my wife is a nurse and i am a prison officer.Hopefully we will be successful and take up residency.our first thoughts are for perth area,so if anyone can give advice on area and house prices,nothing too extravagent,a 5 bedroom house with 1 acre of land 3 swimming pools will do nicely.Anyone who can offer advice on trying to speed up our application would be appreciated.also anyone who knows anyone in the prison service in oz or nurses,that would help us.thank you

im applying for a spouse visa (the bint is an aussie)which as i understand it is a lot easier and straight-forward than the skilled ones.

at the moment we are waiting for the kids citizen by descent forms to come back then we will apply for the passports for them, we hope to have this done by the new year, then i will do my application, which can take beetween a month and 4 months.

hopefully in oz by next may?

hi Ian, there's heaps of threads on here to assist you on location, price etc. If your wife is a nurse, then her as the main applicant would mean that she gets priority and her app will be fast tracked - they are only fast tracking nurses at the mo and no other proffession.

Good Luck, Leigh.

Hi there

I am a nurse and I applied for skilled independent subclass 136 visa(front loaded) beginning of July03 and had visa granted Aug 03 which believe me came as a complete surprise
I hadn't expected to hear anything until October/November time.
Nurses are currently on the ministers priority list and visas are being processed between 12-16 weeks

Your wife will need to get her skills assessed with ANCI and this usually takes 4-6wks.
I got mine in just over 4 wks .
If I can answer any other queries you might have just send me a pm.

hiya, me and the wife have just got residency (in July 2003) and will be movin in November. She is a midwife and the whole process only took 5 months, we started the whole thing in Feb applying for the skills assessment and 5 months later..yippee!!!

It will be probably be quicker if all the application is done under the nursing qualification as they are fast tracking those!

Hi, We're in this situation too. I am a nurse, hubby is a telecoms manager. We haven't sent for the application yet, but we're about to. Also, we would like similar premises. Ha ha ha!!!
But we'd be content with just 2 swimming pools. Seriously, though, have you seen what you can get???? See you in Perth soon, hopefully:scared: :scared:

Hello all......

I am moving to Brisbane in November this year (2 months away!).... I will be applying for the defacto spouse visa, my Australian girlfriend has been here with me since Feb, but we go back to last November, so we will have been together for the 12 month period which is stated on the requirements page.

I currently live in Neath, south wales, where are you from Welshboy?

Hope all goes well for you all.
