Thanks for asking, we have our visa, yay! Selling the house ( realtor already has a buyer - about 90 % chance), we will go towards the end of March. Spending some time on the way in Canada and in Czech Republic with families, then heading to Australia! If you feel like it, I wouldn`t mind to see some photos from SA/VIC :yes:. Looks like finding a job was a piece of cake for you, that`s good.

Laura, I am so happy to hear things worked out for you :wubclub:. I was wondering how are you doing. Wish you all the best in your future :biggrin:

I think this situation needs to be discussed with migration agent. Best luck to you :wubclub:

When I was at the end of pregnancy with my daughter, there was an outbreak of whooping cough. My OB told me that if I want she would give me the vaccine right after delivery because it`s not yet clear whether it would affect the fetus in any way. I was about to be due for my tetanus shot as well so as soon as I delivered my girl, I got the DTP vaccine.

A polar temperature of -6 degrees Celsius in Houston :wink:. Hang in there, March is coming soon and New York will be lovely again :cool:

It is a very interesting point of view. I myself am somewhere in the middle, I did vaccinate my children but if I had a choice ( without those vaccines they can`t attend school, daycare etc), I would be selective about which vaccines I wanted for them.

I would probably burn the car :swoon:

It was - 5 this morning in Houston :swoon: which for us is like the North pole conditions :biggrin:

I would probably pass out if a huntsman ran over my hand :swoon:. Nice snake though :biggrin:

That sound wonderful Runslikeafish :yes:

Wow that`s beautiful Petals .......

And I thought I was doing the best thing... it didn`t even have feathers yet :frown: . I seriously need a manual about caring for abandoned/injured animals. I`ve got the post where Kate ( Pom Queen) described in detail how to check roadkill kangaroo for a joey in it`s pouch saved in my inbox.

What happened to the baby sunbird? Did they parents still feed him outside the nest? I put a baby bird back to the nest once, looked it up the next day and it was dead :sad:. Not sure because it was injured in the fall or because it wasn`t fed.

:chatterbox: :elvis::swoon: For real or just kidding ????? http://www.durexusa.com/?gclid=CKu42b_33rcCFRDl7AodRVwAjw&gclsrc=aw.ds

You can send your AHPRA application to any office and when you receive your Letter of eligibility you can present to ANY AHPRA office to get your license. Lately it seems people had good experience with Adelaide and Darwin offices. Good luck!

Thanks, he sent them the explanation together with his managers email ( where she states why she can`t give reference AND the number to call to confirm employment) but ANMAC sent us a "copy and paste" article with the requirements for the reference pulled from their website:mad:. When we left Saudi we canceled our bank accounts, people in that area are constantly on the move and none of the managers - his or mine- is in there presently. The HR are the only people really to confirm that he worked there ( they gave him the employment statement in the first place). My worry is that it`s enough for ANMAC but to miss the extra points for DIAC is really a bummer:frown: .

Hi , just wonder if anyone has any advice:wink:. My husband has 10+ years of experience but was only able to get 1 reference in the format required by ANMAC ( from his most recent employer). The previous employer in the US doesn`t give out references due to privacy laws and he sent the email from his manager explaining the situation to ANMAC. ANMAC says that unless they have the references they will only count 5 years of experience ( enough for ANMAC but not enough points for DIAC). He has all his employment statements of course proving he indeed does have the experience. We used to live in Saudi in the past, now it`s impossible to get any "fresh" references because the manager has moved on just as we did:eek:. The reference that he has from there is not in the format required by ANMAC. I can`t help it but it really seems dumb to me:mad:, official statements prove the experience but they need a personal letter ?!!!! Did anyone encounter this situation ( especially I need to know what happened with DIAC and how many points were you awarded) will appreciate any advice

You remember me that`s nice:wubclub: . No I didn`t send mine yet, waiting on (hopefully ) positive assessment so we can lodge the visa, our target is of course the July 1st deadline:wink: .It`s 175 or 176 so we will have plenty of time to apply to AHPRA when our visa is processed.
