Hi there, I have been considering a move to Australia for a few years now and was hoping that you could answer some questions for me.
I realise that a lot of them will have been answered in other threads, but I'm hoping to get an update on any rules that have been changed recently.
I am a Senior Electrical Building Services Engineer with over 15 years experience, in many sectors (retail, commercial, healthcare, residential etc etc) and my wife is an Dispensing Optician.
We both qualify for the skilled visa and would probably like to take that route when applying. Does anyone have a ball park figure for the costs and timescales associated with the skilled visa(s) and whether there are any recommended migration agents.
I've also heard , that it is less problematic when you actually have a job offer from an employer.
I'm certain that i'd like to come over for a month or so to do interviews etc so I can get a handle on the people and to scope out accommodation in person.
