Thank you Karen.

I have a question that my daughter Kayleigh has asked. Is there anyone on the forum who has a daughter of her age (13) as she wishes to find a friend that she can communcate with?

Steve has asked me to ask if you ever sleep as you are always so quick with your responses?

The great thing is that I work from home and when people are posting from the UK in the evening it's the morning here and I'm at my PC

That's really good but is it not only the wee small hours?

Good luck with the Expo, I hope that Steve gets a job offer out of this.
Dont stress about the spiders, they are not really a big deal , I promise.

hi, i have just started the process of trying to gain a visa. me and my partner have two kids, she works as a police officer and me a scaffolding supervisor. we are finding it hard to get the wheels moving as we don't know what type of visa to apply for. if i can get sponsered by a company do i have to stay in employment with that company for any certain amount of time. any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Ronscot. Unfortunately I am unable to advise you on the questions that you have asked. Have you considered going to an expo. They are very helpful and will be able to answer your queries. Earlier today I found a link at the top of the page advertising an expo in London next week (Saturday). I have managed to book 2 tickets which were free. I have looked and cannot seem to find it there now. However the the web address is info@thinkingaustralia.com. The people who are running this were very helpful when I phoned them. The number is 0845 850 40 40. I dont know how far from London you live or if they have any places left but it may be a good idea if you can get yourself along to the expo. I am sure you will find out everything you need to know and more.

Sorry I cant be of more help.

Good Luck

Karen

hi karen, yes i booked a couple of tickets for the expo in leeds today. i had to pay £12.50 each. not that that is a problem. so hopefully i can get some info from the day. it's a fair distance for me as i live n/e scotland. i have a girl phoning me on sunday night from go matilda as well so i'm opening every door i can, but unfortunately a lot of them are closing. thanks again.

Hi ronscot,

I am sure that where there is a will there is a way. Have you treid looking at the Australian High Commission London web site there is some very useful info on there. Don't give up. I know how frustrating it is because once you have made the decision to emigrate you just want to get on with it but as Kaz101 has stated it can take some considerable time and you should never give up hope.

Best of luck.
