my trade is on the skilled list but don't quite have enough points for independent visa so would have to go down the state sponsored route like yourselves, but my partner does have a sister who emmigrated a year ago so i believe we could also get the family sponsored visa.Ive had a reply from grist international and waiting to here from go matilda who we did contact a while ago, but probably think by now we're not that serious as we took so long to make our minds up.
