adam88 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Hey guys! Just joined upto PIO I travelled to Adelaide to visit my OH family in March we loved it so much we want to emigrate there. Currently I am looking at hopefully being sponsored and wondered if anyone here had any information for me on how to get started? I have an NVQ Level 3 in fabrication and welding and have worked in the trade for over 8 years. Thanks in advance, Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you consult a registered migration agent for an assessment of your case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Be aware of the pitfalls of sponsorship. First, it is only usually only a temporary visa (457) with no direct path to permanent. It is tied to the employer and if you were to lose your job, you only have 90 days to find another company willing and able to sponsor, or leave the country - you would be surprised how often this happens. Some states will charge temporary visa holders thousands of dollars per year for education if they have children. The partners of 457 holders can have difficulty finding work. I would suggest you look at skilled migration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your occupation appears on the SOL, so it is eligible for skilled migration. This would provide PR from the start and you would not be bound to an employer. You also don't need to find an employer, you dwn just get on with applying by yourself. Have a read about the 189 visa and skills assessment for your occupation.
