Hi Dave,

 

Welcome to the site! As both your jobs are on the skills in demand list, then your application will be a whole lot quicker than ours was and from what I've seen on this and another forum, I think Spring or Autumn next year is certainly within reach. We're not in the skills in demand list, but got our 136 visa after a grueling 2 year wait from start to finish.

Hi

 

We started the visa process off in September when we submitted the paperwork for the TRA. Adrian's occupation is on the skills demand list and we are applying for a 136 visa. We are now in the final stages and we have been told that our visa should be with us July/August. So you can say that it takes approximately one year.

 

Good luck with your visa.

Our agency said 12 - 18mths start to finish, but you will see from our time-line its been much quicker so far

 

Each case is different but with both jobs in demand I am sure the process will be faster for you both

 

Good luck 8)

Varies a lot between visas - in demand is not always quicker though where visas are concerned. We are on an SIR and Greg's skills are not in demand but our visa took only 4 months from application, in fact the whole lot from signing up with our agent to receiving the visa was 2 days short of 9 months :lol:

 

I have seen others though that have taken much longer and are still waiting. I answered a similar question yesterday and put some links on for timelines so might be worth you having a look for some ideas - http://www.pomsinadelaide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=428
