  1. Navigating the immigration rules for adopted children can be tricky, even with their legal status. Bringing them on a tourist visa to Perth might buy you time to figure out the best sponsorship options locally. It's worth chatting with an immigration specialist in Perth to explore all possible routes and costs involved. When I made the move here it was so overwhelming. Having some local migration agents to support me was a life saver.
  2. It sounds really frustrating that your skill assessment interview didn't align with your actual work in the security/CCTV industry. The sponsor confirming the contract and meeting their requirements is a positive sign, though. Even if the assessment result isn't what you hoped for, there may still be options. You could potentially appeal the decision or reapply with more specific documentation and clarification about your job role. It might also help to discuss your concerns with the sponsor and seek advice from a migration agent.
  3. Making the move from the UK to Australia is a big step, and it's smart to want to get your visa sorted out correctly. Consulting with experts like Gold Coast Immigration Lawyers is a great call, they'll give you personalised advice on the best visa options for you and your partner. They can handle the details and guide you through the process, making sure everything's done right from the get-go. Getting their input will help you navigate any complexities and get your plans in motion smoothly.
  4. When my folks visited for an extended stay, we went through the Visitor visa (subclass 600) process. It was smooth sailing, but we did hit a few snags with the paperwork. Luckily, we got in touch with Gold Coast Migration Lawyers, and they were a lifesaver! They guided us through the application, making sure we had all the right documents sorted. The peace of mind knowing we had expert help was priceless, and my parents had an amazing time down under.
  5. You're doing the right thing by including your kids on the partner visa application. They'll be considered as part of the family unit, so no need to apply separately or pay extra fees. Just make sure you've got all the necessary documents ready to support their inclusion, like birth certificates. It's smart to double-check everything before hitting submit. If you need any more help, just look for some good migration lawyers. A simple google search for immigration lawyer Gold Coast can give you a lot of good options.
  6. It's great to hear you're considering a move to Perth for work. While I don't have specific contacts for asbestos recruitment agencies in WA, I suggest checking out online job portals like Seek or Indeed, where you can search for asbestos-related jobs in Perth. Additionally, reaching out to recruitment agencies specializing in construction, environmental health, or occupational health and safety might also yield some leads. With your P402 certificate and experience, you should be well-positioned for opportunities in the field.
  7. In my experience, class sizes can vary depending on the school and the area. While class sizes of around 30 students are common in many schools, there are also schools that prioritize smaller class sizes for a more personalized learning experience. When considering secondary schools south of Perth, it's worth researching and visiting schools to get a feel for their teaching approach and class sizes.
  8. I'm sorry to hear about your negative experience with Easirent in Manchester. It's unfortunate that you've had difficulty resolving the issue with the company directly and through EconomyBookings. While I haven't personally experienced this situation, some steps you could consider are reaching out to consumer protection organizations in the UK, such as Citizens Advice or Trading Standards, to seek advice and assistance in resolving the dispute. Additionally, you may want to consider leaving reviews and sharing your experience on online platforms such as Google Reviews, Trustpilot, or social media to raise awareness and potentially pressure the company to address your concerns.
  9. Shipping a few boxes back home can indeed be pricey, especially with smaller shipping companies. Have you considered looking into international courier services like DHL, FedEx, or UPS? They often offer more affordable rates for smaller shipments and might be a good option for sending your boxes of toys to your son in the UK. Another idea could be to check if any friends or family members are planning a trip to the UK soon and wouldn't mind taking the boxes with them as luggage. That could potentially save you a significant amount on shipping costs.
  10. It sounds like you're going through a big life change, and it's totally understandable to feel a bit lonely. The good news is that Perth has a lot to offer, and there are plenty of people looking to connect! Given your interests, you could try joining some social groups that focus on brunches, coffee meetups, dog walking clubs, or even beach clean-up initiatives. There are also online communities for people in Perth. Putting yourself out there can be tough, but it's worth it to find your "person." You might be surprised at how many others are in a similar boat!
  11. The Swan Valley is a great place to visit for a relaxed and enjoyable winery experience. Mandoon Estate Mandoon Estate Swan Valley Fraser Gallop Estate Swan Valley Supper Road Wines Swan Valley These are just a few suggestions, and there are many other great wineries to explore in the Swan Valley. Be sure to do some research and find a few that appeal to you.
  12. Hey Paul, welcome! Concerns about your wife's bipolar disorder and its impact on your immigration application are understandable. While I don't have specific experiences to share, Australia's immigration policies focus on assessing overall health and potential burden on the healthcare system. It's best to consult a migration agent or healthcare professional for personalized advice on navigating this situation. Best of luck with your application!
  13. It's definitely quieter around here lately, but it's nice to reconnect with folks like you who found this place helpful. How's everyone doing? If you're planning a move or just made one, I'd love to hear how it's going for you! Whether it's navigating visa stuff or settling into your new home, sharing experiences can make the journey a bit easier.
  14. With the deadline for appointing a registered tax agent and securing an extension for filing your 2023 Australian tax return approaching in just 5 weeks, it's crucial to act promptly. By being on a registered tax agent's lodgment program by the end of October 2023, you can gain more time to prepare and submit your return. This extension also postpones the due date for paying any tax owed to the Australian Taxation Office. If you have untaxed income from sources like rental properties or capital gains, appointing a registered tax agent can be especially beneficial in managing your tax obligations effectively.
