New here sa forum. Husband and I are in the process of preparing documents and requirements for our subclass 189 visa application, husband is the primary applicant. He is a mechanical engineer working as a design engineer designing device kits used in the semiconductor industry. These device kits are used to test ICs in gadgets. He utilizes software like SolidWorks or Inventor. Would you know which state in AU ok mag apply pag ganito ang field? May friend kami sa Sydney na nagooffer ng free accommodation sa amin once we get the visa pero not sure naman kami kung maraming opportunities for Mech Eng sa Sydney. Baka naman any of you have insight on this.
CDR pa lang ang tinatrabaho namin pero gusto na sana namin i-map out kung saang state ok mag apply para lang may advance planning kme kahit papano.
Thanks!!
