    Hey every one.

    We are looking at moving in 2012 to perth on a 475 visa for skilled migrants.

    Has anybody applied for this or been granted this.

    I am trying to source through all the agents who deal and have been working with

    www.workpermits.com

    but I am trying to use a good irish company.

    There was a list I found on this board, and was wondering if anyone has had any luck, how much they paid, how was the waiting times?

    Any info would be great guys and girls

    Thanks

    That's a skilled regional (provisional) sponsorship visa, you need to be sponsored by a relative and live in a specified area. It is points based and you need to pass 65 points, costs $2960 and can take up to a couple of years to process.

    If you don't have a sponsoring relative you can get state sponsorship by one of the states but you have to meet the requirements to be nominated.

    Hi, I have a similar question. I need to have my skills assessed and was wondering if anyone knows or has had experience with getting their skills assessed?

    I'm an interior architect so I'm wondering will the Architects Accreditation Council Of Australia recognise my skill? I don't want to fork out money I don't have if there is another assessing body that will recognise my skills. Thanks :)

    Hi Zambia, thanks for the reply. Where in the FAQ is the list and I'm assuming you mean the ones on Boards.ie?

    Thanks, :)
