Hi guys, I have another query :wacko: sorry......... We have now decided to go for the 190 PR visa route and This is where i am at the moment (which isn't far) :biggrin: As I haven't got an up to date passport which i need to book my IELTS test I am booked in at the passport office for a premium service weds morning. then I am booking my ILETS for the 7th Sept as I need extra points for the visa. then I was gonna apply for the skills assessment with ANMAC when i receive my results however I have been looking on here at a few posts and apparently the wait on the skills assessment is around 16-18weeks! Am I able to apply to ANMAC now before my Ielts results so I can get the process started!? Thanks in advance lynsey :cool:

Aww thanks I think your right about the 457 visa and it won't be the best option for us so the pr route it is!! All very exciting really just got to get the ball rolling! X

Aww Maria this is great info! I'm glad that the is lots of opportunities for nurses! We have decided to go for the pr route going to borrow the Money until the house sells! Gonna try and do it alone rather than an agent tho, so may end up asking you many questions! So the visa was relatively quick tho? How are you finding life out there? Where abouts have you moved too? hope things are going ok for you? Thanks again for the advice! Lynsey x

Aw thanks for the pm and advice!

Hey thanks for reply, looking at it that way is quite scary! How long does the PR route take? Or how long is yours taking? Another reason we are reluctant to go that route is the time frame my daughter is very happy to leave at this age but give it another 2years and she may change her mind! X

I will have a look to see if I can find an oversea expo that's a good shout! We will be able to afford going out there etc its just all our funds are tied up at present and don't really want to go the long route as I know the sponsorship route is a lot quicker! thanks for your reply

Thanks so much for your rreply when you say apply straight to state what do you mean? how far into the application are you? I hope it's all going well xx

Hi i am new to this site and was wondering if I could pick anyone's brains with the process in which I need to follow in order to move to Australia. i am a qualified adult nurse and looking to move to Perth. We have 2 children aged 7 and 4 weeks old so need to be able to find a visa to cover us all. I have looked at applying for a visa however can not really afford this route so would want to find sponsorship. how do I go about this? Do I need to apply direct to the hospital for specific role or apply to Ahpra for my registration first? I have started the application for registration with Australia and need to get my documents certified and write down my clinical/procedural skills on my Cv! I think I have got myself rather confused as I am reading posts on here saying that people are completing competent tests etc which i didnt think i had to do if getting sponsored but now am slightly unsure and then also would assume I would have to secure a job prior to applying for registration! Anyone that has done it this way that could give me a few pointers would be great or anyone that could help would be great as I am very confused on the process. many thanks Lynsey
