  • Migrating to Australia (Skilled worker visa) question?

    We're a couple (28 yo both) with a single child. I'm a software engineer, and my spouse is an Economist. I speak english, Spanish, Italian and mid level french. She does english/spanish. We really like Melbourne,AU and we're planning to move there under the skilled workers visa program. Both passed the point assessment test over 120, and have the financial resources to move right away. So, I have 2 questions :

    1) With our qualifications and resources to move with, how long does it takes to get visa, after applied for it in a Australian consulate?

    2) Can I wait for the visa inside Australia? I'll like to go to start settling (get an apartment, looking for another job etc...)

    thanks for your answers before-hand.
