Hi im pretty new to this site, but its helped me out with a few things.
Ive been in Australia for 9months now on a working holiday visa, ive worked 6months of that as an electrician. i dont have a queensland licience.
I thought i would be able to apply for residancy when i was in australia, and get some sort of bridging visa while my application was being processed. Ive now found out it takes 12 months to process and i have to leave the country!

Im a hard working Northern lad, i served my time as an apprentice with Haden Young back in the UK, and they kept me on for 3years after that. The reason i left was to come out here.

I really do not want to go home, ive got a girlfriend out here now, shes getting sponsored. I have fell in love with Brisbane and the Australian way of life.

If anyone can help me, please please please get in touch

Thanks Dean
