I know lots of people who got in this way.

Just asking like.

I know a lot of her fellow students. They have been to our home for dinner, I have been drinking with them, been to birthday parties etc.

The last time was a drink with a Thai girl and a Chinese girl a week ago. The Thai girl failed her tax accounting subject and will have to redo the semester. The Chinese girl is going to Macquarie University this semester to complete a Commerce degree.

I can provide photographs as proof if required. Or would a Stat Dec do.

“Eet me Enlush Meesta Slaphead, I no unstan enough”. Sob Sob.

“There there, don’t you fret, I can help you with your English. Some private lessons what what!”.

Up comes my wife – “why you got hands on classmate?”

That would be a quick way to end your marriage.

It has all changed since we've came over, now looking at around 5 years in total but IF we manage to get PR at the end up, it's still less time than it would have been re-training and gaining enough experience and then waiting for a visa to get over.
