New to this - here goes
Hello,
This is my first post here.
We currently live in Auckland (NZ) and are seriously looking to move over to Australia and would like to communicate with the members here to try to understand
Our options
The potential pitfalls
Is the 457 a good way to go?
Should we stay in NZ to get our citizenship here?
Some background:
We got our PR in NZ April 2006 and now have our IRRV visa for NZ; we can apply for NZ citizenship once we have our PR for five years then we can hop over to Oz.
We both just feel that there are limitations on our opportunities here in NZ and that the housing prices here a very expensive relative to the wages.
There is also the health aspect as I developed asthma which I put down to the damp weather and housing here.
We are focused on moving to Brisbane and could go hard out to get a job now and do the 457 thing but obviously this is more risk.
Would be interested to hear your input or comments and thank you for anyone who can offer any input.
Many thanks

Hi, just a thought - you may get a better response if you post this in the Australia forum. Good luck

Hi,
Thanks, I did start a similar thread on the Oz forum and had a few replies.
