I still have all the paperwork from it, it takes up two lever arch files!
Best thing I ever did was join this site. The information I gathered was invaluable and I don't know if we would have got the visa if it weren't for BE.

I think the skills list has changed quite dramatically since we got our visa, though. So I'm not sure if his skill would still be on there (he was a ceiling fixer).

You haven't missed a meet, never fear - I would love to get to Nottingham and meet up with Rasen and Sailor, but I can't see it happening on this trip! Few family-type things to sort out, need to see how things go .....
You got it baby!!!![Thumbs Up](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

Its hard to explain, but I know in my heart now after nearly 8 years - I land at Heathrow and I have tears in my eyes, cos I'm home
Going back, I land at Brisbane and its...."how long this time, when can I leave!"
You got it baby!!!

I guess it is something I can't understand. I mean I am just so desperate to get to Oz. Yes I have a reason, what with my Sister being over there, but I have lost confidence and faith in this country and it is just too difficult for a single Guy to get on the Property ladder and to earn a decent wage.

My OH skills were on the skilled list at the time of applying. So we came out on a 136 visa. We started applying in March 2006 and got the visa in October 2006.
