I heard from a friend who lived there several years ago that a way around the "hassles" of getting the letter of consent is to register a single proprietorship company yourself and just write the letter of consent for YOU! It all sounds too simple, but he said is worked and essentially set himself up as a free agent in regards to getting work.
Any knowlege of this kind of thing?
First, I don't think a sole proprietorship will cut it... you will need to regiater a private limited to be taken seriously, and it will take a private limited company (with directors) to guaranteed an EP, otherwise you will have to put up the $3000 bond anyway.
Second, filing to start a company requires a business plan. If you have a sound business idea and can demonstrate it (along with the investment necessary to make it go) you will get approved. But, just registering a business is insufficient. If your spouse has potential contracts to work on through an independent company this will go a long way to approval.
