Jordy Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Hi everyone,Thought we would introduce ourselves. There is me, the wife, and our daughter (1yr old). We have been giving this immigration thing thought for about two years, but have only recently decided that this is something we really want to do. Why do we want to leave? For all the same reasons mentioned by everyone else. We have been reading the forums for about a week and 99% of questions have been answered by using the search function. Thanks a million for the input everyone, especially those who have completed the process and still post. Much appreciated.Anyway, we registered because we about to start on the long process ahead (we dont even have passports yet) and now our questions begin.Look forward to getting to know you all and maybe meeting up with some on the other side.Jordy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordy Posted September 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Hi JordyWelcome! Also new in every way & in the same boat! Which VISA route are you opting to go, 136 or 457? Any destination in mind yet?CheersBradHi Brad,Unfortunately I dont qualify for a 136 on my profession, as my profession is only on the ENSOL list and nothing else. So I have to go for a 457, but I am thinking of trying directly for a 856. Dont know all the ins and outs yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My name is Marianne. I came over from Sunnyridge, Germiston 5 years ago. My letter on this forum "Just joined but been here 5 years" or something to that effect. (It's late and I'm tired). I work in my own business as a real estate agent so I put in the long hours to reap the benefits in a year or 2. Anyway, let us know where you are planning to head to and fire away with the questions. Someone will have the answers for you. Best of luck to you and your family. I'm really happy for you that you have made a wise decision. Best wishesMarianne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ungerers (Tanja U) Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Hi Jordy,Welcome. Let me start by saying, spare the frustration of going to home affairs and to get all the documentation. We used Bunnyhop (Just google it and find branch nearest to you)They charge you a fee (not much) but arrange the passports, un abridge birth certificates, un abridge marriage certificate and police clearance.Hope the tip helps,CheersT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
