Re: Visa options.. Please help!
It's just a little annoying that we share the same queen, many people have very strong ties to Australian citizens, yet it is so difficult to do anything other than visit.. Even though some are prepared to pay... it was in the news the other day that so many people are coming to the UK for the our national health service, its stretching it to the limit, and waiting times are growing, and they may start charging people that are not UK permanent residents. Last year i had to wait 9 months to get some pain relief injections in my spine!

Re: Visa options.. Please help!
For someone so keen to get their middle aged friends with no skills into Australia, you are certainly pretty down on everyone else that looks to move to another country. It is just a British passport and indeed I am proud to be British, but it is not a god given right to live wherever we choose, we are not the master race.

Re: Visa options.. Please help!
I'm not saying it should be, and that's a bit rude to talk to me like that, there's no need.. I came on here for some advise that's all! I earned my visa with my skills the same as everyone else, with a lot of worry and doubts along the way.. I didn't get to Australia, for reasons that I don't want to go into, so I know it isn't a god given right! I was just hoping for her that someone on BE might know something or have a solution to look into just because that's the sort of person I am. But I get trodden down (or that's how it feels).. Reminds me why I stayed away from here for so long...

I haven't made disparaging comments at all ! I am merely stating facts
I think I may have touched a nerve....

I just don't like hypocrites that expect doors to be open to them and their friends but look down their noses at other people that want to emigrate and particularly if by a chance of their birth they have a different mother tongue.. Maybe you should think harder about how you come across.

For god sake.. I obviously have touched a nerve.. I'm not talking about the people that have got visas in an honest way! Get off your high horse and go enjoy your life... Oh and by the way I'm not racist either before you throw that one in too !!

I agree Pollyana, I don't think I asked for any of that.
