Hi all,

Need any advice possible, husband and I are wanting to move to aus, preferably perth, just not sure were to start.
A little bit about us.

Hubby is a panel beater has been for 8yrs, I work in car insurance, were both married, 24 yr old & have no kids. I have an aunt & uncle in perth, hence the fact west is were I would love to go, been last yr and fell in love with it.

I done the visa wizard and it came up as skilled visa or family sponsorship visa.
All looked ok, but now I have noticed Hubby would have to do a skill test through TRA, I noticed on there website something about having to be qualified for 3yrs after completing apprentiships etc.

problem is hubby's certificate shows jan09, even though he has been working for 8yrs & qualified in 2006, I called the college where he attented through his work & they advised it was due to hold up on paper work & date can't be changed. His employee is willing to give him a letter stating he has been qualified & time served since 2006 but I don't know if that will cut it.

Sorry for the long post, please if anyone has any info on this, please help.

many thanks kelly

Hello Kelly.

You may want to contact a migration agent or two. Most offer an initial freebie discussion about visa strategy - and you may want to consider using one given the important points you have raised in your posting.

Best regards.
