Thanks Lou, that would be good if you could please. Thank you.

Thanks will do.

Haven't been on here for a long time as decided what was the point in continuing when hubby was diagnosed with chrones. But just can't lose the feeling. We were getting there had my skills assessed and passed was just about to do eoi when hubby got admitted. Is it possible still or are we just dreaming? Any advise would be great. Thanks.

Have you tried looking at the acwa they assess skills for welfare worker which is want sounds like your wife would be over there. Good luck.

He keeps telling us if we want to be there quick then 457 is as pr can take years to get. Talked it through with hubby again last night going to go and talk with another agent to see what they say. At last!

Because you have to be a member of the aasw to practice, and then if we do go for pr I will have already done it.

I am afraid there are the same issues wherever you go ;-) Debs he was recommended so I am thinking so :-/

Yep 2 girls, that'sI think that's why I getting fed up with him, he's not the one who is going to have to pay the school fees and the if we don't get pr upset them for a second time by moving them back! Ahhhhh! Hubby won't listen just keeps asking agent questions who replies with lots of reassurance that he believes!

I'm a social worker not really sure why he keeps pushing it, as I said he can talk for England!

Getting fed up with my agent, sure he can talk for England and ends.upgetting me total confused! The problem is he keeps saying 457 visa, and had got the other half going along with him! Yes it will be the quickest way but I've got the skills assessment and my job is in demand, so don't see the point in it and then applying for or when there. However we r to far in to afford to give him the boot and other half is falling for every bloody word! Sorry for the moan but can't talk to anyone else yet as no one knows :-(

I'm in Middlesex just had my skills assessment back so moving forward just wish I could press fast forward. :-)

Hi, try seek.com I have been looking on there and have seen a number of jobs for drug workers though mainly with teens. Hope that helps. :-)

Thanks for the advice. Spoke to my agent (which I should have done in the first place!) who told me I don't have to as not going for points visa. :-) all the advice was really good though and will help someone. Thanks all. :-)

Thanks all going to book it tomoz. Fingers crossed. X

Hi, I found out whist I was at uni and had to have a test with an educational psychologist, you can pay for the privately but think they are pretty expensive :-$ you could try checking out your local susport group/ advise (Google it), not sure how much time extra as you will need to contact the centre where the test is being held. Good luck. :-)

Thanks Caroline, I was looking into it I can request extra time but have to give 6 weeks notice :-( it's so frustrating as i'm only 5 points shy! Good luck with your second attempt. :-)

Hello new to the site and just starting the process :-) I have been checking out the points and appear to fall just short of what I need. To get the points up I am going to have to do the IELTS test which really worries me as I'm dyslexic main issue being spelling. Has anyone on here with any advice or share their experience to put my mind at rest. Thanks :-)
