Emigrating to Perth

[ronscot]

hi karen,
i'll not give up hope not since i have set my mind and the kids heartd on it. hopefully some good will come of tonights call. i have got to the stage, i don't care how much it costs just get me there. i read you are wanting to go to freemantle. i was there 11 years ago and it was beautiful. i stayed in rockingham further south, which is where all my family is. i have looked at the prices and are very expensive now. i believe the prices are going to drop though because of the intrest rate..not my fote.

thanks
Ronnie

Hi Ronnie

I am glad to hear that you will not give up. I know what you mean about the kids being hearted on it. My daughter is driving me insane. There is not a day that goes by when she doesn't mention it. It is good to hear that Freemantle is so nice. I agree about the house prices but our intention would be to rent at first with a view to buy. Thinking about you saying that you have family out there, is it not possible for them to sponsor you? Hopefully you can discuss this when Go Matilda contact you later today. It would be interesting to know what they tell you. Good luck with that.

Kind Regards
Karen

hi karen.
no they can't sponsor me as they live in a metropolitan are which counts for nothing. so put it another way if they stayed out in the sticks i would be fine. i have a load of questions for tonight so just hope i get enough time to ask them all. i'm hoping this expo will be usefull. i feel if i can't get any good from it i'm afraid i'll have seriously consider my options, i made a few phone calls today and have an employer who will sponsor me, so i hope this can help.in the local paper in oz there was 17 jobs for my trade so i hope it stays like that. the girl said she'd phone at 2300 tonight so better prep my questions.
thanks
Ronnie

That's a shame about your family. I am sure that your chat tonight will go ok especially as you have managed to find a sponsor. The very best of luck and let me know ho you get on Also when I have been to the expo on Saturday I will let you know what to expect and the best course of action you can take when you go to the one in Leeds.

Good Luck
Karen

Hi karen,
The chat i was expecting was an e mail asking for my cv. I was already with about 15 questions. I have tried other agents now and just don't seem to be getting anywhere, i'm hoping for a breakthrough at the expo and have about 20 cv's ready to hand out, i can only hope that the employment sponsor is going to be the one for me as it has to enable the kids to go to school. I'll find a way, one way or another.
Thanks
Ronnie

Hi RonScot,

Have you tried calling them? If you use Skype (you have to buy Skype out credits) or an international phone card it won't cost the earth. I'm guessing that they are more likely to take someone seriously who calls them

To check the time before calling you can use something like
The World Clock - Time Zone Converter

Good luck.

Hi.
I found out last night that i can't even be sponsored by an employer as scaffolding is not on the gazzeted list. It's going from bad to worse. NOw i really don't know what to do, suppose our only hope is my partner, but who knows how long that will take.
Thanks

Hi Ronnie,

It took us 2 years to get our visa and another 3 to get here. It was well worth the wait! How we got in was my husband being the first applicant (he's a gardener), rather than me (IT but no IT degree).

Good luck.

hi Karen,
i think that is the route i am going to have to take. Yes it's longer but if she is successfull well it will have been worth the wait. She is a fully qualified nurse and now works for the police, so fingers crossed. I am still hoping i can get something positive back from the expo on the 6th.
Thanks

Hi Karen, I seem to be having a problem with my thread. Every time Ronscot submits a post it automatically goes through my thread together with any responses that Ronscot receives. I am unsure as to why this is happening and thought may be you could shed some light on it.

Just thought I would let you know we are going to an expo today in London quite exciting but feeling quite nervous at the same time as we don't know what to expect. I will let you know how it goes.

Regards

Karen
