Hi to All,

My name is Mick and this is my first post on Getting Down Under.

I am 44 years of age and work in IT as a Infrastructure Analyst. I am married with two young children aged 9 & 6.

Our current situation is that my wife was granted a PR 136 Skilled – Independent visa last year as she works as a childcare co-ordinator. Both my wife and I have travelled to Australia since and have vaildated our visas.

Our children's visas have not yet been validated and the Immigration Dept have allowed for their IED to be extended.

We have travelled to Sydney twice (once for a 3 week family holiday and once for a 2 day visa validation trip) and absolutely love it. This is our preferred destination, although I have recently been approached about working in Perth.

If I can be of any help for people who may have queries or questions on the visa process or Sydney I will be more than happy to offer my help. I'm sure there are many more knowledgable people already on this forum however you never know I may be able to offer some help.

A very boring first post but hope to be able to contribute and benefit from this forum.

Kind Regards

Mick

Not at all boring, your concern & providing help towards people in need shows your courage & kind heart.
