Default Just decided to go for it

Hi Guys
not been on here for a couple of yrs, went through a bit of the process to get the visas then and bottled it , spent a fortune,

now after 2 yrs its still niggling us, so we said lets do it now or never,

it all seems the right thing to do, dont know why but we feel a lot more comfortable with the idea now,

So now we are at the start of the long process ahead , does anybody have a rough idea on average how long it should take to get the visa,s ?

I know there are a lot of factors involved!

we are looking at victoria melbourne, although Adelaide looks good, any advice?

Thanks for reading

A year? State nomination less.

It's expensive, yadda yadda. But you know. Buyer beware.

Lots. To live. Visas = cheap.

I'll hand you over to my office, they can provide you with the detail.

Our first visas took 3 weeks, our second PR ones took six years - 5.5 years for all the information gathering, 1/2 year to issue, max.

Whether you choose Melbourne or Adelaide will largely depend on whether you need a big city for more "head office type" job opportunities.

Does that mean you got the visa last time but didn't move (or perhaps even validate), or you got however far with your agent (Go Matilda from looking at previous posts of yours) but didn't go through with the visa application?

Confused - currently sounds like you got visas.
