With the job offer we will be 115. I think currently you need 100. Without the offer we have no chance at all.

oh we know that - and we will do things right - we have a consultant advising us but first David needs an offer before we can proceed. If consulatant advises suffiecient for work permit then they will then process the application etc. :-?

Thanks everyone - makes we wanna hop on the plane right now when I see all your welcomes and kindness. David's work here is stressinghim out terribly and I worry about him. Anything in the pet trade will be great - so even if you know someone in a chain or franchise store etc...he' could do pets too - he always gets asked to clip wings and sex birds...yup apparently that's quite a tricky thing to do :oops: And if anyone wants to take me on - I have experience from banking to IT to imports...

Hi all I have been reading your posts and am warmed by the kindness of responses. It's taken me a while to pluck up the courage to post this - but I have nothing to loose and it seems like a large comunity of fish lovers there. My hubby unfortunately works without a pc so he can't surf as much as I do. He has been in the pet trade for over 16 years, the last 6-7 years he has been managing the aquarium fish shop here in Port Elizabeth. He has extensive knowledge on all fishy matters, from marine to fresh water and products relating to both. The problem is without a qualifictaion he needs a job offer to get a work permit. I have visited Auckland and surrounds and it's heaven. I was in IT 3 years ago and now am import freight clerk for international company. Please if anybody can help we would be most grateful. He isn't picky and would liek to do anything "fishy" related, whether it be repping or whoelsale or hatchery...anything. He is a very hard worker as his references from his current distributors show. he might not have a job here for much longer so if anybody can help us start a new life, please let me know. Thank you for reading :roll:
