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
