Yes at first its a very hard decision, but now we are in to the process there's no way I'm going back. Although I'm doing an intra-company transfer from our UK office to Sydney office (I work for a Japanese company), its like Oz office have nicked me. Actually, we had a director over from Japan this week, and he almost begged me to stop at the UK office. No Way! All I want now is my 457 - it seams to be taking about 8 weeks at the moment though some are quicker and some are much longer. I'm going to work for a company who've taken a couple of guys from my place in UK over the last couple of years, so I'm reasonably confident things'll work out ok. I'm getting relocation, free apartment until I find somewhere to live, medical etc, but its still...:eek: |

Re: who applying 457 thread
Just got a rental and a suitable school and pre school for the boys. :thumbsup:
We have spent the last 7 days in the car for 9 hours a day to find the above but it has paid off! Spent a small fotune on toys to overcompensate for the boys being stuck in the car They're only 5 and 4 (next week!) but we can breathe a sigh of relief now! Just got to buy a car now and register with medicare / medibank etc so making headway! :thumbsup: Think visa came on about 6 june (not too sure :confused:) We sent our stuff about 4 weeks later? :confused: Good luck with the 3 week turn around! Anything is possible! Carmel x |

hi
were are you going??? and welcome to the thread. Going to work for a company based in Artarmon, Sydney. Can't afford to buy a house anywhere near there, but hoping to get something about 45 mins away for a reasonable price. The speed of this 457 thing is terrifying, 6 - 8 weeks the company lawyer reckons, but I've got to give 3 months notice from my current job, which gives me a little more breathing space. Still its not a lot of time to sell up and move the family is it, must admit I'm having a few "moments" when I consider chickening out.....must hold my nerve David |
