Hi Caroline

Do you mean a 457 visa as the 475 visa is for either state sponsorship or sponsorship by a relative?

Hi Kazozz

We have to head to where our sponsor relative is, in NSW, a place called Port Macquarie about halfway between Sydney and Brisbane.
Will get there one day.Keep looking at live webcams of Port beach and thinking want to be there!!

Re: paperbased applications thread
 

was thinking of Mandurah as well, not sure what to do yet, scared to plan anything in case the visa never comes(it is beginning to feel like that), we were hoping to fly out early september and have a good look around wether we do or not depends on the golden ticket:)

Re: paperbased applications thread
