So you've gone from a 2nd year apprentice electrician to now owning 2 different companies within a year? Very bizarre.
Think you need to decide what you do first and trying posting facts not fiction.

interesting

will the real you please stand up ?

Bizarre...

Just wondering if the 7 month old is yours or the free loaders you sometimes refer to.

shame jal expertise was used on this thread -he could have helped some one who actually needed his help not some one who is a troll

You have been told the only way for you to get over, a student visa. Nothing has changed has it?

its a troll

Sorry - shouldn't laugh...but oh so funny I do remember the original post!

Are we being harsh?? I often sit at work thinkin "if I did xxxxx then I could get there quicker..!!!" But then I've normally got a young person throwing something off my head at the time - joys!

Ah well, that cheered me up at 4.45 in the morning....

Later...!

Boo

good morning to you x have a fab day

hi sorry iv not explained myself if you read my reply in my other thread you will see that i do own a 2 companys and i am a 2nd year apprentice i lost my job as an apprentice, i started another thread to see if this side of things would help i have no reason to lie all i am looking for is help there would be no point in asking for help if i lied about my self and yes i do have a 7 month old son i can truly say everything iv told you is true.

The short answer is, no. You don't qualify for a skilled worker's visa, you simply don't have enough experience. Unless you can find an employer to sponsor you, I'm afraid it's no go.

If I was in your shoes, I would have a good look through the MODL and CSL lists and find a job on one of those that you feel you can do. Then find out exactly what you need to gain a positive skills assessment for that job, and devote a year or 2 and get it done. I know you want to go right now, but if the door isn't open....

I wanted to go 3 years ago already, only to find out I needed an extra 3 years experience to get a positive skills assessment, which I reached by the end of last year. Guess what? September last year I found out if I had a certain qualification I could have gone with only 6 years experience, instead of the 8, so I myself wasted 2 years, only to find out that everything is much harder now than it was 2 years ago because of the worldwide economy taking a nosedive.

Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do, in order to make your dreams come true. (I didn't mean for that to rhyme.)

David1989,
if you get no further, look up some of the agents repped on here as they can give you good advice.

Good luck,
