EMIGRATING TO AUSTRALIA

AMY ON BONDI BEACH - DECEMBER 2006

We have been thinking of emigrating to Australia for at least 3 years. About a month ago we finally made our minds up to get in touch with a migration agent and start the process.

I felt sick that morning I took the first lot of completed paperwork to the post office and sent it off, were we doing the right thing?

My husband has passed the initial assessment carried out by the agent and they feel we are able to progress to getting his trade recognised in Australia. We are at the moment gathering all the paperwork so that we can get it sent off for the TRA (Trade Recognition Australia). Once this has been passed we will be able to submit our visa application.

We are applying for a 175 visa as my husband's trade is on the MODL (Migrants Occupation in Demand List).

I will keep you posted on our application.
