conroys Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Hi there everyone,Well, I guess reading this message in the foyer section, you already know that we are planning to take the big leap from SA to SA. That is South Africa to South Australia...Our little familly consist of me, Jack, my wife, Marlize and our little daughter. Well.... almost our litte daugther. If all goes well, she will turn 0 in two weeks time.At the moment we live in Centurion, but as so many before us, we struggle to see a possitive future in South Africa. We had a look at Canada, but are now focussed on Adelaide. The PR process has already started (skills being assessed) and we already have some of the required documentation. But we are considering going over on a sponsored visa before we recieve the 136. (If we can get a sponsor). Some of the rest of our family on both sides are also considering moving to Australia and each of us have our own issues that will make the applications really interesting...So I hope we have really patient experts on this site, because we will have a lot of questions!!!'till later...Conroys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamcatcher Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Hi Jack & Marlize,Congrats on your (almost) daughter. Good luck for the last few days.Welcome to the forum. You will find that we are very patient, and we even have a few experts! Fire away on those questions, and we will try and help. We came over on a sponsored visa (457), as we do not qualify for some of the other visas. We are still waiting out our 2 year term before we may apply for permanent residence.Greetings,Dreamy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
