• pathways to permanency for provisional visa subclasses 495, 475, 487 and 489.

Has someone gone to the meetings? What kind of information is given?

 

 

I went back in 2007 when we first arrived and found it fairly average. There were many nationalities at the session so they had to cover information for people coming from very different backgrounds. My lasting memory is the police telling the group that if we want police help we don't have to pay (bribe) the police! I also spotted someone in the audience who had appeared on the tv show Wanted Down Under!

 

I would go along you never know what you might learn.

Came here on a 189 visa so can't attend

[Rabeah]

Coastie, I think you can attend if you wish to. Try to register even as a 189. I had a family of a 175 visa in our information session in Feb 2012 when we arrived (we are here on the 'old' 176).

How did someone manage to put 1970 as the year? I mean, I can understand putting last year's date on if it's early in the new year and the brain hasn't switched over yet, but 1970? I know that sometimes here it feels like 1970 but that's no excuse!

I've been here for 4 months now and still no job. Let's hope they can give me some help!
