Yeah, I'm in QLD, but in a very remote, small community so I half expected that. I'm pretty sure I personally know every other person getting their citizenship next week. We've been getting really excited about it.

Hi Annagilda, 

If you don't mind asking, are you located in Far North Queensland. My nephew lives nearby Atherton which is an hours drive from Cairns. He is eligible to apply for citizenship in May 2022, however he wanted to move from QLD to NSW. I told him he will get citizenship quicker if he applies from there rather than applying from Sydney where he wants to move.

Can she do 6 months diploma in nursing then apply 190 visa?

Diploma of Nursing is 12-18 months course and in some states its 24 months course.

Degree in nursing is required to work as a registered nurse and diploma of nursing holders can work as an Enrolled Nurse (EN). You can't apply for 189 visa if you are EN but some states sponsor EN so it's possible to apply for 190 visa.

Hi all, 

I'm new to the forum, very interesting reading everyone's comments good and bad. I'm 34 and will be moving over with my wife and our young daughter, can't wait for a new adventure. 

Submitted my EOI carpenter subclass 190 today with 60 points. Received my IELTS score this morning, very frustrating as I could've done with the 20 points. My results were- 

Listening- 9

Reading- 9

Speaking - 8.5

Writing- 7.5 

So close yet so far, seriously annoying but anyway EOI submitted and I'll probably give them more money and sit it again. 

Are there any carpenters on here who have received an invite on 60 points recently? 

Thanks in advance. 

Why don't you try PTE Academic much easier than IELTS....

I may be wrong but checked the link you have provided and found there are two types 

• Contributory Aged Parent (Migrant) visa (subclass 864)
• Contributory Aged Parent (Temporary) visa (subclass 884)

&

• Contributory Parent (Migrant) visa (subclass 143)
• Contributory Parent (Temporary) visa (subclass 173).

And age requirement is not applicable to both types.

Age requirements

The primary applicant must satisfy the aged requirement for both Contributory Aged Parent (Residence) visa (subclass 864) or Contributory Aged Parent (Temporary) visa (subclass 884) applications. An 'aged' parent is one who is old enough to be granted the Australian aged pension.

 

 

We have used John Mason in 2012 to move to Sydney and they were most competitive and were fantastic at both ends.

800- 1000, that is too much in one ceremony...!!

It was special ceremony to clear the backlog in Sydney thats why DIBP chose Sydney Olympic Park hall with big capacity. Due to large number of people organisers had to request 3 people to move their cars as they were parked at wrong places. I applied in August 2016, received approval in October 2016 and had ceremony on 7th June 2017.

Update: I've been invited for my ceremony on the 18th of July. Which is a little odd, because the date isn't published on the website of my council. But oh well... finally the end is near! 

It must be special ceremony arranged by DIBP.  I am from Blacktown council and attended special ceremony at Sydney Olympic Park arranged by DIBP on 7th of this month. Around 800-1000 people were there including guests.  As there were many guests with people so can't tell you how many people were actually came to attend ceremony.  There were few more ceremonies arranged this month and next month.  For northern suburbs ceremony is I think at University of Technology's Ultimo campus.

Thanks...

Does that mean parents can apply only for this new temporary visa and not for the permanent visa?

For visa purpose IELTS General 8s in one sitting for 20 points. And for nursing registration it's IELTS Academic which is tougher than General version.

Update.. My Mrs has decided to take the IELTS again and try to improve her 7 (speaking) to an 8 so we can go for at least a 190.

 

Is it possible to combine both papers if she drops below 8 in any of the other sections where as she got an 8 in her first test? Thus giving her 8's overall, or does it have to be over 8's on the same test? Thanks

If the preliminary course is a prequisite for the second course it can cetainly be counted. If not it can probably be counted, however incomplete studies cannot be counted.

Thanks Wrussell his diploma in Enrolled Nursing is perquisite for the graduate Nursing course however he will complete graduate Nursing in December 2019. And I want him to apply for 190 visa based on Enrolled Nursing qualification. Anyways it will depend if NSW will continue sponsoring Enrolled Nurses (190 visa) in next year as well.

Hi guys, appreciate advice on requirement of Australian education. I know that 2 years full time study is required. My nephew is currently studying Enrolled nursing at Tafe as an international student. He has also enrolled for graduate nursing (2 years for enrolled nurses rather than 3 years) which will start immediately after completion of enrolled nursing.

 

He started enrolled nuring in September 2016 and will finish course in December 2017 and will start 2nd year graduate nuring in February 2018. His enrolled nursing course is actually one and half years course but at some tafe campuses it started in July but at my nephews campus it started in Septemeber.

 

If he wants 5 points for Australian education can he consider Tafe diploma (actual duration one and half years) and first six months study towards graduate nursing study or he can't consider six months study towards graudate nursing as he will get degree only after completing 2 year course.

 

Thanks...

The appointment for verification and test wont take much time. But the waiting time to see the CO may vary. I would say, better look for alternate arrangements to pick your son.

Luckily finished interview and test in 45 minutes including 20 minutes wait for interview.

 

Thanks everyone...

I am hoping it won't be longer as I have to pickup son from school or I have to arrange for someone else to pick him up.

Ha ha it takes only 2 min for the test. Not much time to verify documents. But sometimes we needs to wait for our turn.

Hi , May I ask how much time it took to complete the process including test. I know the test is 45 minutes but how long it takes to verify the documents. My appointment is at 2pm at Parramatta but wondering whether it will finish by 3pm considering 30 minutes for test.

 

Thanks...

I am australian citizen and getting married to a nurse in India with more than 3 years of experience.

Does she has to get 7 bands in IELTS to get registered or for work purpose or is there any way to get rid of.

Positive suggestions will be much appriciated if there is any loop hole or excemption.

 

Thanks in advance:)

Regards,

Naresh Saini

There are other alternative options for IELTS. Another test PET Academic is also acceptable for registration and which is much much easier than IELTS. For PTE Academic you need 65 in all 4 categories. Also recently they allowed two sittings in 6 months with specific minimum score requirement. You will find all English language requirement in detail on their website.

 

Also Nursing degree is must not Diploma.

 

Hope that helps...

Hi I applied online on 10th August and received email informing citizenship appointment is scheduled on 25th October at Parramatta office in Sydney. Are there any chances to pre-pone the appointment date? I called up today however there were no appointments available earlier.

 

Is there any possibility to change the appointment date?

 

Thanks...

Thanks.
