WOW, this is owesome. congradulations to you Nikopol, MariaC and Villyrj. this is encouraging. Wish you guys all the best.

Dear All I have checked to see if there is any thread set up for 190 December applicants and it seems as if there is non. I submitted an application on the 23rd of December 2014 and its now a waiting game. We have not done the medicals or police checks as yet. Will do it once requested by the CO. We are trying by all means to keep calm as it can be unsettling having to wait.

Dear Lovej It shouldnt be a problem at all. As long as you have a marriage certificate to prove the chnage of surname.

If you are to apply via the HR advisor route, your only option regarding permanent residence will the 190 visa and not 189. This is because the HR Advisor occupation is not on the list. The following states are sponsoring HR Advisors 1. Western Australia 2. Northern Territory To apply for WA sponsorship, you will need to have a job offer. This was effected in March this year. To be considered for an invitation to apply for WA nomination candidates must: · submit an Expression of Interest on the Department of Immigration and Border Protection Skill Select database (see www.immi.gov.au); · have an Expression of Interest which indicates the applicant is seeking nomination from Western Australia or any state or territory; · meet the Department of Immigration and Border Protection's eligibility requirements for the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) or Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 4891); · have an occupation listed as available on the Western Australian Skilled Migration Occupation List2; · meet the minimum work experience requirement of: o at least one year of Australian work experience in the nominated (or closely related3) occupation over the last ten years; or o at least three years of overseas work experience in the nominated (or closely related3) occupation over the last ten years; and meet the minimum English language requirements. · For all other eligible occupations an English language level of ‘competent’5 must be obtained. English language ability must be demonstrated by providing evidence of achieving the minimum English test scores as set out on page 4. · Have a contract of employment6 for full-time employment7 for at least 12 months in Western Australia in the nominated (or closely related3) occupation. For northern Territory, they will require similar evidence but also demonstration that you have strong ties in NT. Yes you will need references from your employer as well. this is not a character reference but confiring your emplyment claims. please look at Booklet 9 for 190 as it has all the information you would need. you cant select employer nomintation visa if you havent been sponsored by an employer. at this point i dont think they require information on your gap years. what matters is that your total work experience was within the last 10 years and meets teh minuimum number of years to be sponsored by the particular state

Hi hi what kind of help do you require? I had my skills assessment as an HR Manager through AIM and was successful

I have over 15 years experience working in HR and Organisational Development. I am looking for sponsorship. Does anyone have any pointers?

thank you for your help

i am planning to move to Perth Australia by next august 2014. has anyone moved to PERTH and is an OD professional? if so, whats the job market like?

Thanks Amelia, are you currently based in the UK or are you in Australia?

Hi Amelia Thanks for the useful link. Id didnt realise this. I will indeed pursue this because I am a CIPD Chartered Member.

Hi Serpentine No additional information was requested.

I am over the moon. My HR Manager results are out. Got an email acknowledging receipt on the 4th of nov and received the results today 19th of November. Hearing all the difficulties of AIM, I was so nervous and I am pleased it went well. Now preparing for my ielts on the 7th of December

Thanks Kezzles for your response. I have two Master' degrees from UK Universities, A Bachelor's degree and I am also a Chartered member of the British Psychology Society. I have had the responsibility of managing at least three managers for the last 8 years. I therefore hope that all goes well. However, you never know!!!

Are there any people out there who have recently applied or are considered a skills assessment via AIM? I spent months and months going through the profiles and it looks as though there have been very minimum success regarding HR Manager assessment. I am currently in the UK. I posted my application pack on the 22nd of October and it was delivered on the 24th of October. The waiting game begins.
