My apologies if I haven't responded to anyone lately but have been busy with whingeing visitors. One lot who have just returned to the UK seemed to have obtained sponsorship to migrate here and the remaining lot, (My son and family) are occupying most of my time atm.
I vaguely remember in the "crust" thread, that some Ausfish members are employed in the IT field. My son is network manager for Gold Medal Travel, the biggest travel agents in the UK, managing 1500 nodes and is Cisco and Microsoft Certified. Military trained from the age of 16 he unfortunately has no Degree and his only means of migration is 6 yrs practical work in his field. Having left the Army 3 years ago, immigration will only recognise those 3 yrs as the army will not acknowledge his previous computer work as it is classified under the Official Secrets Act.
The only avenue left open to him to join me here is employment sponsorship but we seem to have been knocking on closed doors for the last 12 months. If anyone has any ideas I would welcome that. My apologies if it is inappropriate to post this here.
On a better note...We are spending the weekend at the Pin and will be camping on Crusoe, so if anyone fancies a slug of duty free feel free to drop in.
cheers
