Guest nashaey Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Looking for others in the usa who might be moving to au as well. Maybe going as a group can be helpful or even just learning from each other while going. Saving money is the plan as well as making friends. Im 21 and plan on moving to au asap. Any others want to join or just share the experience even if your already there your feedback is welcome :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest siamsusie Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Welcome to Poms In oz. We have a few members here from Australia or en route.. Aaron for example is moving from Texas to NSW I believe. There was another member from the US asking some questions in the pet section also, you can recognise her by a US flag avatar lol. Enjoy your migration journey Susie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablo Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 AaronS is another american on the forum,from Austin Texas,where everythings bigger:biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronS Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Yup, my family an I are headed to Sydney this fall....in October to be exact. My wife got a transfer from her employer. Getting there ASAP will not be an easy thing. If you have an education and experience in an occupation on the SOL for a state sponsorship that would be your best route. PM me and we can talk more. I certainly don't have all the answers but I do have a good perspective from the stand point of a US citizen. PS - You are wise beyond your years to start working on getting to Australia and out of the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest texasaggie Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 AaronS...I am in Houston, TX and we are melting too. I think my electric bill is going to be over $600 this month. We are in desperate need of rain. Nashaey...My husband and I will be moving to Perth in October. He is being transferred there with his job with Chevron. We are older and are leaving behind two kids ages 21 and 18. That is the hardest thing for me to do. Even though they are off at university I still like being able to text my daughter several times a day just to catch up on what we are each doing. If you are in Perth we need to meet and we will be glad to buy or cook you a dinner or two. It will be nice to chat with someone our kids age because I know we will miss them so much.

Fashionably Late Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I love Brisbane and cannot imagine living anywhere else. My husband has been here for 4 months and I have been here for 6 weeks. The people are incredibly friendly and I love the weather here. Whereabouts in Brisbane are you looking to settle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronS Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 While you are enjoying being young and in Oz keep a little bit in the back of your mind of what it will really take to stay for good. Get an education in a career path needed there. At some point you'll need to get serious about it and do what it takes to get a PR visa. I mean no offense but working at a call center probably won't do it for you. Consider nursing. It's in demand and if the schooling is like the US you only need two years. Plus, you can go anywhere and get a job in that field. Good luck and safe travels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nashaey Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Thanks n yes i had dat plan in mind nursing i cant do but i rather come there n take a class for my career in social work i dont wanna go to school here n it may not be enuff there...
