welcome to PIA,

We went with an agent so would recommend it, Some go it alone and do very well.

Not sure about welding but would think it is. Hairdressing last i knew was on the high demand list.

Suggest looking on www.AdelaideBound.com and all the links for migration

Time scales depends but suggest looking at peoples time lines below posts to give you some idea.

Also take a look at the SA immigration web site www.immigration.sa.gov.au.

good luck

Going with an agent or not really depends (my opinion) on how complex the skill assessment is. The actual visa application is fairly comprehensive. We didn't use an agent but then Tracey is a nurse and the skill assessment is just submitting training docs and work history.

I would advise speaking to an agent and getting a free consultation and decide whether an agent is needed.
