Thank you for your reply. A little while ago I attended a 'down under live' show and must have left my details with a migration agency because I received an email from them yesterday saying that AMNAC have changed their standards and are no longer recognising diploma trained nurses. Now I'm really panicking as I don't know whether my skills were assessed before or after these changes were made. I suppose that's what has caused all the delays. Do you have a nursing degree? If so, that's probably why you received your LOD so quickly. It's just a waiting game now. Hopefully I'll hear something next week.

Thank you for your reply jac2011. Yes, that is a bit worrying. I do keep pestering my agent and she has said that if it doesn't arrive next week she will ask for another to be sent. Annoyingly I won't hear anything now until after Easter. i did try calling ANMAC directly but as I am using an agent they wouldn't give me any information. My agent told me that ANMAC won't attach LOD's to emails, so that's a bit worrying too. it looks like I'm going to have to eat Easter eggs all weekend to settle my nerves! thanks again. I'll let you know what happens.

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I just wondered if anyone knows how long the skills assessment are taking from ANMAC at the moment? Mine was submitted in October last year and I am still waiting for my letter of determination. As far as I'm aware there haven't been any problems along the way apart from a small delay in getting the nursing verification from the NMC (because the agent I'm using told me to request transcripts instead of verification). However, that was weeks ago and I can't understand what's taking so long. My agent forwarded an email from ANMAC a few weeks ago saying the assessment had been finalised but the letter of determination has not yet arrived. I won't be happy until I know my agent has physically received the letter. What's worrying me is that I don't know if 'finalised' means that it has been positive or not. Would be be grateful to hear anyone's thoughts on this and whether anyone has experienced anything similar. thanks
