Onto Step 2

Just got a letter from the BOM saying their sponsorship has been granted! Yay! So now I can apply for our visa! I have a couple of documents to scan in that I didn't expect, so it will be a day or two. But I'm hoping to have it complete by Weds. Then more waiting...

good! I was wondering how you could be so sure it wouldnt get torpedoed by the "Australian Society for Australian Jobs for Australians Only"

Carl, are you referring to the recent changes to Australian immigration policy?

not referring to anything in the news, just admiring your confidence and making a wisecrack [sorry]

ummm, what are those recent changes?

Well, they have currently put the General Skilled Migration on hold for a short time, and revised the list of needed skills. This eliminated a lot of careers like hairdresser and cook/chef. Career fields like IT and engineering are still on the desired skills list. There were a lot of people on the expat forum who were very unhappy when these changes came out. I was relieved that these changes did not affect Employer Sponsored Visas, which is what I have.
