Veg Corndog, do you hold any other qualifications that might be on the Australian 'wanted' list??
If you do, that might be an 'angle' to get in via a 457 visa.
Or, if you are
really keen, you might go get yourself one of those qualifications and
then apply?
That's alot of brain damage - depends how much it means to come here.
You don't want to go through all of that, only to find out that it really is only some second rate 54th State of the USA
