thanks Leah, just had a look at booking a test in and they are pretty popular. None available In Bristol at all which is where I am based. Completing those forms makes sense I guess - just in case. Do do know if the aitsl processing of skills can be faster than 10 weeks?

hi laoibhse, welcome! So which visas are you applying for? September isn't that long away ...... you doing the ielts test too to gain more English points? justin

hey Leah, is the english test hard? Require a lot of work? Cost much? still can't believe it's necessary ...... Must be quite a few Oscar wildes in Australia! Was going to get the police clearance done once I hear back and it's positive.....only takes a week I hear. I need an oz police clearance too as I lived there. whats the form 80 and 1221 Leah? Visa application forms I'm assuming for both visa types ? (189 and 190). justin

Hi Leah ! Sounds like a great idea. No I assumed that being from an English speaking country (Ireland) with a tertiary level education would be considered to be highly conversant in the English language?! obviously not? Which visa/s are you applying for Leah? Justin

Thanks stormy .....I hadn't submitted it. So I'll await the assessment result before submitting. ?

Many thanks

Thanks Maggie So I have to await the outcome of the skills assessment then before submitting my EOI. Just reading a little more on here and people suggest to submit an EOI for a 190 visa too? What happens if I get invited for both (that's optimism!!) Which is better (a greater chance of success I guess)? Which is faster? and cheaper? is it free to submit an EOI? sorry for all the questions .... Thanks for replies ...much appreciated.

Hi all! just starting out on applying for a 189 visa for my family. Sent my paperwork to the assessing body last week for secondary teachers. They say it can take up to 10 weeks to process. my question is this: I have completed the expression of interest online but have not submitted it yet. I read that they give you 60 days to collect all the documents should they invite me to apply for the visa - that is off the EOI is positive. So do I submit my EOI (expression of interest) even though I might not hear back from the skills body until after the 60 days expire? Or do I wait a few weeks, then submit the EOI knowing that I shall hear back from the skills assessing body (aitsl) before the 60 days are up? im a little confused and would appreciate any advice on this. Thanks folks! justin
