Australian Visa changes

Posted in: Migration Issues by Rob on 01/04/2012

Don’t forget that on the 01st July, the Australian visas system is undergoing something of a radical overhaul with the introduction of ‘SkillSelect’
SkillSelect is an online system that allows skilled workers who are interested in emigrating to Australia, to record their details in order to be considered for a skilled visa through an ‘Expression of Interest’. People intending to emigrate to Australia may be found and nominated for skilled visas by Australian employers or state and territory governments, or they may be invited by the Australian Government to lodge a visa application.

Emigrating to Australia

Posted in: Forum News by Rob on

Despite having over a days downtime in March due a a minor technical hiccup, our Emigrating to Australia Forum – pomsinoz attracted it’s highest number of monthly visitors ever, with 457,490 visits. Despite the poor exchange rate, the stagnant housing market in the UK and continuing house prices rises in Australia, it appears that the emigration dream still burns brightly for many people and the pull of life down under remains strong.

Adelaide or Gold Coast

Posted in: Welcome by rain n neil on 24/01/2012

Hi there, we moved from the UK nearly a year ago to Adelaide, it wasnt our first choice, we originally were going to Queensland, ideally the gold coast but due to the visa process had to come to SA. Weve just been for a week to the gold coast and stayed in surfers but drove around a few suburbs, everyone and everything looked more normal then where we are here!! I personally feel it is the place I want to be with our family, Adelaide seems so quite and boring, now is the long process of research and wheres best to live, the weather and checking out how that compares and jobs for hubbie who is an electrician.

Ha anyone on here had personal experience of Adelaide and then gone to the Gold Coast to live or Brisbane/sunshine coast and if so what were your findings and good and bad things about both?? Which is best Adelaide or Brisbane/gold coast??

Any opinions would greatly help.

Thanks in advance

Visa Application Status

Posted in: Adelaide Migration Issues by AdelaideMigration on

Hi,

Sorry if this has been asked/answered elsewhere - my visa application has a new line "Application being processed further". Does this mean anything specific? How long are people waiting on average for a Case Officer to be assigned?

Thanks
