Yes!
Well I finally got the wife to agree to give it a go and start the migration process! 
We're using Go Matilda to apply for a Skilled Independent (subclass 136) visa.
The only potential problem is that I turn 30 in June, so I need to get the application lodged by then, otherwise I will be short of points
, but fingers crossed and all that.
I sent the ACS Skills assessment stuff to agent on Friday so hopefully the ball will start rolling.
All we need to do now is agree on a location, the wife likes the idea of Melbourne more than Sydney, but there appears to be more I.T. work in Sydney. Do I go to Melbourne and it will probably take longer to get a job or go to Sydney, hopefully get a job quicker (though spend more money with higher cost of living in comparison to Melbourne!!) give it a try and if don't like it then look to move down to Melbourne? Who knows!!!!!

I had a simelar problem, trying to get visa in before I'm 40 so's not to loose points. Things took longer than expected, getting references etc.. so skills assessment is only going off tomorrow and I'm 40 in 2 weeks time!
I've missed the boat there!
