Immigration Forum / Australia and NZ / October 2006

If all fails i.e the visa. Would one be tempted to marry in order to
immigrate out of Britain?

The wait is driving us crazy, given up calling CO now especially having
been told I call too much. The thing is we have been told to expect
something in two weeks time (twice)  now and the weeks come and go
without receiving a thing.

Any one out there know the terms or Criteria for a contract on a 457 temp.
Business Visa? Wages, conditions, etc.
Thanks in advance
Chris

reason my old CO is no longer handling my case and I wasn't/haven't been

I am currently waiting for a CO to be assigned on my 136MODL application
that was submiited at the end of June.
As I see from this website that most people tend to get their medicals &
X-Rays done before being requested by the CO to save time.

Hi - I just had confirmation yesterday that my Visa has been approved so
am very happy as we're now flying out to Perth on 12 Dec!
For anyone out there going through the application process for a
Prospective Marriage Visa, I thought you might find my timeline useful:

Hi all, question from a newbie. My wife is a qualified dental nurse with
14 years experience, does anybody know if that kind of qualification is
good enough to get a visa, and were is the best place to find out.
Many thanks.

application in ?
Secondly - I have 3 kids to take one is 16 one is 9 no worries, but one
is 19 and not a dependant, having a job etc.

Dare I ask this question? Getting married has we all know is risky at
best of times but when it comes to emmigrating to oz is it worth the
risk? I will be interested in views, commets and advise people may have
on this subject.

container from Oz (Perth) to the US (Tx)? what are the best companies
to use?
much appreciated

Hope someone can help...
