Hello gals, I am not able to answer your questions about PR. It's been about a year since I applied for my spouse visa. For all your information, Go to: http://www.singapore.embassy.gov.au/immigration.html#How%20can%20I%20migrate%20to%20Australia? and read "How can I migrate to Australia"...

Yep Lulu, you should prepare some sort of "start-up capital" to pay for basic things such as a few months rent, bond for rent, utilities and other living expenses when u come as you really can't tell when u will find a job. You might also need to pay for baby sitting when you have to go out...

Poor Jewel, what a sticky situation! So he is studying there at the moment? I am in Brisbane, Queensland. My husband is Australian. I really don't know about PR sponsoring another PR to come to Australia. Have you ever thought of coming to join him? I also keep hearing that they are increasing...

Skylar and Onzz, thanks so much for the links! They are really useful! Will tell my other friends now...

Hi Onzz, I can't really answer your questions....I applied for a spouse visa because my husband is Australian. I found it quite easy to get mine...But i have heard that it is getting harder and harder for others interested to apply for the a visa because they have "raised the points required"...

Hey people, i want to complain! I always read the Straits Times and New Paper online to keep up with Singapore news, but now they are charging for online subscription leh...$72 for 6mths! That's really expensive! How else can i keep up with singapore news w/o paying the exorbitant price?! My...

Hi Lulu, I would encourage you to come and not give up the PR. You can see from these posts that there are so many ppl trying to apply for PR and you want to give yours up? There are indeed many job opportunities in Australia. There was a news report yesterday saying there are too many jobs...

Good luck with the job and yea, hope you find something perm in this area soon! I have noticed that job opportunities abound in OZ major cities, and chances are good if you are properly qualified, because they believe in Equal Employment Opportunities. With the weather, ppl often say that...

Hi Skybebe, that sounds really interesting! Is journalism your background? Congrats! How are you settling in?

Hi Snap, sorry, I'm not sure about the procedures if you are in SGP and your hubby in OZ. But in my opinion, it shouldn't matter too much as i applied the visa more or less by myself. My visa just took 6weeks to be approved.

Clodie, I did mine myself. It looks tedious, but i follwed all the instructions it was fine. If you made a mistake, eg left out something, the embassy will contact you and you just send it in! I am holding a wife visa and not PR status, and it allows me to work here. Just apply for jobs as...

Snoozy, dun be intimidated by the procedures. Just determine what category you are eligible to apply under and go slowly from there. I first found out that I was able to apply for spouse visa since my hubby is Aussie, and then collected all the documents they needed and submitted. Did you...

Hi Mrs Bikki, thanks for your words of kindness and encouragement. I have been to the forum today. Hope to see you there soon!

Hey gals, you should go to this website to see how you can apply for migration: http://www.immi.gov.au/ Snoozy, you can apply under de-facto spouse visa category. You don't get your PR status immediately i believe. I applied under the spouse category, and got my visa in 6weeks. I applied...

Hi guys and gals, I'm back! Had a really long break over the christmas/ New year period and used that time to move house. Me and hubby now rent an apartment near the city. Anyone here in Queensland or the city of Brisbane?! I'm bored and homesick! Especially during the festive seasons, i miss...

I can't really remember...but that price sounds about right. I actually used a 10kg economical box, but put in more than 10 worth and they just added extra charges.

Hi gals, i checked with Fedex too when I moved to Australia. Please double confirm with Fedex! They told me there was a tax of $150 on the 25kg boxes that contained personal belongings. I used Singpost after that.

Hi skybebe, I'm really amazed to hear that most part of your relatioship was long distance! When and where are you getting married and what took you guys so long?!! Hi audrey, i really dun know if it will shorten the application time if you ROM in Sydney rather than Australia, but i feel...

I have just been in Australia 3.5months. i came here in Sept with my hubby. Dun think will be heading back till june/July next year...boo hoo! I miss my family so much closer to the christmas season!!!

Aww Sannie, i heard that Toronto is very beautiful and has a big asian population? But i also heard that the weather can be extremely cold! I dun know how i'd feel living there?! I feel that Australia is not too far from Singapore, thus i dun feel too far from home... Hi popeye, i thot...
