Hi, My husband has a straight 186 being processed from UK so don't know if it's different if your transferring from a 457. Yes our case officer was the same one who authorised the nomination. My husband did get an email copy of the nomination so you should have been emailed this by your employer as you will need to attach this to your visa application too. Nice new gift happy new year and good luck with the approval which should be soon after your medical. Angie

Hi, Finally have the LOD. Lodgement date was 14/08/2013, acknowledged 03/09/2013 went to second assessor on 12/12/2013, LOD received 18/12/2013 via email!!!! Sooooooo happy :-) Good luck to everyone else waiting.

Hi all, Anyone had LOD in the last couple of weeks? If so when did you lodge? Thanks

Thanks :-) Anyone else had the LOD that lodged early August?

Congratulations! Husbands was lodged 14/08 so hoping it will be soon :-(

I find it it hard to understand what takes 16 weeks??? It's basically the same thing as APHRA. For just under £600 not the best service!! Hubby's ANMAC was submitted 14/08 so hope they get to the August files soon as he has a job waiting :-(

This might be useful if you have a postcode to check https://www.gov.uk/council-tax-bands Angie

Hi, Yes I'm afraid you do. Obviously it is variable dependent on location -postcode your rental is given a letter code the lower i.e E rather than C the more expensive. We were in an E band property and it was £2200 a year this was in Hampshire. Angie

Hi everyone, My husband has just had an email from ANMAC (professional officer) stating that an initial review has been undertaken and everything appears in order and they will contact again as the assessment begins. Just wondering at what stage people got this and how long after the assessment was completed? Lodge date was 14/08. Thanks Angie

Great post very uplifting....very excited now thank you

Congratulations! Did you do your Medicals prior to being requested? Husbands employer nomination was lodged 15th May and our visa was submitted 18th June still for a case officer. Wondered if we should wait to be asked to do Medicals or just get them done as we have the TRN? Any experience advice great fully received. Thanks

I am a big Florida fan as my profile pictures shows :-) its me interacting with some teenage killer whales at Seaworld in my opinion a fantastic park that all my kids (i have 6) enjoyed to done extent more than Disney. Disney is mind blowing there is no place like it Magic Kingdom is a must with kids and adults ? We have stayed in a villa when we went with another family and another time stayed on international drive. I drive hotels are good because they generally have free transport to a lot of the parks if you decide not to hire a car. Driving over there is very easy and straightforward. I'm happy to answer any questions PM me Angie

Hi, Hubby has been offered a job in Perth under a permanent visa 186 sponsorship (Nurse) and we will all require medicals soon and are probably going to go with the Birmingham Spire. Just wondering if those that have taken children can advise what it entails for them just so I can tell them what happens? No issues we are worried about so hopefully quite straight forward. Thanks ​Angie

Hi, I would also like to know how long it is taking for the employer to get the TRN number (offshore currently in UK). Employer lodged nomination couple of weeks ago. At what stage can we submit our visa application? Do we have to wait for the nomination to be approved before we lodge? Thanks in advance just getting a bit confused and keen to get things moving as quick as possible. Employer said nomination could take 3-6 mths for approval? When they have this is this the stage when medicals/police checks would be needed? Thanks Angie :-) ​

Hi all, Just thought would share our positive experience of AHPRA Perth Office, documents and application form received by them on 01/03/2013 letter of eligibility to register as registered nurse received 25/03/2013!?
