Not a nurse but all documents uploaded as color PDF scans. No issues at all. Visa granted 18/9/13

Thanks. Low risk europe

Visa granted today

Got medical arranged for next Friday September 6th... Last step hopefully.

Hey dugles, My Co advised me to email that same address but I haven't heard anything. How can I call her? I only have the Diac number in the email signature...

Hi there, trying to organize my medicals with the STUPID New online emedicals system... Keep getting repeated error messages whenever I try to click on the "organise your health examination" link for my son in the evisa systems. It worked perfectly for my husband and myself. I do need to complete this form for my son so I can book in for my families medical checks. So frustrating as the guy at the medical booking said they wont see my son if his online form isn't filled in...I have emailed my CO to tell her but doubt that she can provide technical assistance. Anyone ever had issues and how was it solved???

I'm still on holiday in qld but did Aussie police checks online yesterday and they were processed within a day. So they should be in my mail when we get home and the schedule medicals for first week of September...

Done everything myself so far. Co allocated yesterday. I know many people who have done it without an agent

Adelaide team 7 btw

CO assigned today. Request for new medical (old temp ones won't do) Request for OZ Police clearance as old ones have expired. Now holiday first then medicals.

Applied July 17th. Still waiting for CO but happily looking forward to my Cairns holiday next week to take my mind of things. (I'm onshore)

You will need at least 55 point + 5 from the state sponsor

I did go that route and visa application is currently being processed. Do you have enough points for 190? You might need to try to get 7s so you can claim enough points. If you apply to nsw you are probably better off as Uni lecturer as a lower proportionate chance to reach the occupation ceiling. Are you just anxious cause the Vetassess people are taking so long?! Mine took from receiving documents on feb 28 to final assessment on may 27 (but they only had to assess experience as I had degree assessed for a previous visa) just be patient. Good luck

Do you have parents and grandparents breathing down your neck because they want to see the new family addition?! My son is 9 months now and they probably won't see him for another year... Feel like such a bad daughter...

Well this will be our third time... And we jut had to pay new visa fees which came to $5k with a partner and a child... Grr... And we haven't been back home to Europe in 5 years and relatives asking and I have to spend the savings on stupid hoops they make you jump through...

I knew they were a money making machine but this is getting ridiculous!!! Another $1000 I won't ever see again!

Hi there we applied for our 190 on July 17th and I'm just after some experience of onshore applicants who got to reuse their medicals. We did medicals for out temp 485 in January 2013 ( this was X-ray and exam) but no HIV. What do you think will we have to redo them or will they just reuse the old ones? We haven't left the country since... Are HIV tests required regardless of country of origin and intended occupation? Tia

Oops baby pressed enter Eg positive assessment etc. but you can just put in dummy answers to get to the next page... And then when you get the final documents you only need to change one section and put it online

Yes start preparing now. It won't actually let you submit it until you have all the relevant information, e.g. Po

I'm a non native speaker and work at a Uni. My boss' husband runs the ielts test centre and he gave me some great tips especially for the speaking test: don't be to complacent, it's not simply a chat. Try to use more sophisticated vocab, idioms and don't really on simple sentence construction but show that you can do more... He said this is especially problematic with native speakers who often score lower because they are just having a chat... reading got me with the stupid true/false/ not given... also it is not a real test of your English capabilities but your test taking abilities to practice is key.. good luck!

I guess it worked

Hi dugles. Thanks for the information I will try to get all the stuff printed and certified and scanned next week. So path notices and payslips? (Just wondering if they would need all payslips from last year or just the first one in the middle and the latest. Otherwise that is more than 30 payslips for 1.5 years... I'm actually a research fellow In linguistics but this is a pretty rough field to get a job so in very lucky. I guess in your field it shouldn't be too hard to get in! But be prepared to start a bit lower to get a foot in the door.. E.g. Casual tutoring is very well paid but you would only work during semester (14 weeks) and otherwise you could try and get a research officer/ assistant position... Have a look at unijobs ( I think that is what it's called) they always have current vacancies. It might also Be good to contact potential unis between semesters or mid semester to ask about vacancies as tutor/Ra in upcoming semester. Don't be shy. Just email that is how I got my jobs so far! When did you lodge your visa? Will try to change my signature but can't find edit signature anywhere in the settings...

Hi I'm new here. Have been in oz for 5 years (originally a Kraut) and finally got nsw sponsorship and applied for 190 on 17/07. I have done all our visa applications myself (so far 574 and 485) but freaking out now with spending so much money ($5355) and potentially being refused. my occupation is university lecturer and I have a contract until end of 2014. Wondering what kind of evidence to attach to my application. Payslips?( how many?) letters of offer etc? also want to see how others who have applied in July are doing and if everyone else is freaking out as well :chatterbox: Cheers tomate ps if anyone knows how to do a signature please let me know
