No updates man.........
That company has oked everythng........But they have not got any reply from client yet.

So not sure.....what to do........Simultaneously i m thnking to go for NZ option also.
What's say?

Oh ok, well yes you can try other options but continue to send CVs, i'm sure in Data Warehousing, you can be sponsored on a 457 visa to Australia itself.

Best of luck to you,
Cheers

congrats rub....
keep us updating about ur exp in aussieland....

can u also let us know how u got the sponsorship??

Thanks everyone.

Pankaj, you'll keep you guys posted.

About my sponsorship, it was kind of unexpected. I did some research on IT consultancies specialized in Information management in australia and then sent a couple of CVs directly to those companies.

The first reply I got was positive and I managed to go through their recruitment process (3 phone interviews and 1 by webcam). After that, the employer lodged a 457 nomination which was approved in less than a week. Everything has been pretty straightforward, the hardest part for me were the interviews, the 3rd one (technical interview) lasted two hours and was quite detailed.
