Hi all,
A while ago I posted about having an Australian AP / Mothers Help and I just wanted to update you on the ease of getting the visa sorted.
The girl that is coming over to help us now has her visa, she sent in application forms and about 6 weeks later was invited to an interview and a week after that was notified the visa had been granted. I provided her with a letter outlining what she would be doing, confirming dates and provinding my details. It all seems to have been an easy process.
So, we have the flight booked, I have redecorated the bedroom, I have a great 'agreement' that a helpful mnetter copied to me and will probably suplement this with a contract from Payefornannies who I will also be using for payroll. What else needs to go into a sort of 'pack' to make everything when she arrives?
I have no idea what our houserules might be as we're generally pretty relaxed and everything I think of seems to just be common sense, ie no loud music / loud socialising upstairs after the ds are in bed.
She's 20 so it seems a bit bizarre to be putting a curfew on her as I would assume that having had a ft job since leaving school she realises that to be up and working at 7am she needs some sleep.
Any help or advice for a 1st time AP employer very welcome.
