Texanav8r,
I read your post.
If your partner gets the required visa, then you'll also get the same visa.
Same thing happens for Australian E3 visa holders going to the U.S
You will have the right to live and work in OZ until the visa expires or is extended.
In terms of aviation work, you need to convert your license and qualifications through the necessary process.
You have to remember, it's such a small aviation jobs and people market here, compared to the U.S.
It can be such a headache going through the license conversion system here, but if that's what you want to do,
it costs time and money.
You will get through and obtain your qualifications, but it's a headache.
Your best bet is to get a flight instructor rating and work as a flight instructor until you get yourself organised.
There are corporate jet jobs advertised throughout the year, every now and then, mostly in Sydney and Melbourne.
I have come across U.S pilots, that ended up in QF in the past, but were married to Australian partners prior to arriving, they had jet time as yourself.
I've come across people that got into QF that were from other countries, they like skilled jet personnel.
Apart from aviation work, life is so expensive here, you won't understand until you try it.
