It was hard for us to get here WITH an agent - try over 6 years from deciding to arriving!

Well it is so hard for us because I have offered to wash John Howards budgie smugglers in return for a visa.:D

The things we have to do.:ohmy:

For all those people back in England I thought I would help with your visa worries (and unlike migration agents my appraisal is free and easy!!!)

If you can answer yes to the following then you will get a permanent visa...

1. Have you an occupation on the skills in demand list ?
2. Can you prove that you have been working in that occupation ? (if you write a letter yourself and get it signed by a solicitor that will do!!)
3. Are you under 45 years of age?
4. Can you speak English?

Congratulations YOU WILL GET A VISA.....

That is how easy it is. It is not difficult to get a visa for Australia it just appears so because of all the paperwork you have to go through. But that is how Australia works...........there is heaps of paperwork for everythng in this country especially if you want a job when you get here.

So dont bother with a migration agent, they are laughing all the way to the bank ( I may start up myself!!!) because things appear to be difficult it doesn't mean they are.

And when you arrive you will find your highly sort after occupation actually has twenty Australians applying for it, and you are back of the queue !!

This is not a negative post, but it is 100% realistic.

Australia is not a hard place to get into, it just appears that way.

So my 19-year old cousin who has been working as a mechanic for the last 6 months can come join us? Woohoo!


Or maybe not. You've just simplified god knows how many pages of immigration policy into 5 lines on a forum. If only life was so simple .... What a ridiculous post.

I answered yes to all of those questions but I still failed the ACS assessment first time around and had to put up $100k bond. How does that figure in your 'policy'?

We have our orders to come down the coast when the family visit in July so will look out for it. My 11 year old niece is dreaming of Wet'n'wild....in fact she is dreaming of "those humky muscley Aussie men in swimming trunks at Wet'n'wild" to quote her comment from last week.... She must be thinking of different Aussie men from the ones that inspired the heads in arses comment!:confused:

Err, we had an annual ticket to Wet n' Wild last year. All the times we went I didn't notice any hunky Aussie men in trunks. It's a good visit but she will be mighty disappointed if that's what she's looking for:lol:

I will keep my eyes open for them and when I find a worthwhile group, I'll let you know;) The things I do for people, I am truly a martyr:p

That may be debatable after recent events! :eek:

It's down to NASA though. They send the things off with damaged bits and then employ psycho astronauts.:(

Well, not withstanding letting the woman drive is another matter.....;) (from not-so-recent events in NASA's past)...

As I thought...........Most people on here are too dim to notice satire :blink: ,

Probably because they are worrying if the answer from the immigration department will be yes or no :confused:

Good luck to all (it seems you all need it:thumbup: )

Some one seems too dim to notice that most of the posts changed the subject entirely and had their own conversations;) Others have made better efforts at satire. If you'd done your job properly the replies would be in their hundreds by now. You need more practice:D

Satire is hard to notice when it's obviously nowhere to be seen....

A good attempt at damage limitation but not good enough..... :rofl:
