Hi, i have to revalidate ( have received my nmc notice) and need an nmc registered nurse to have the reflective discussion with. Live and work in Brisbane but could travel or do by phone if necessary. Can anyone help please? Note: i continued to pay rcn fees since emigrating, and contacted them to be put in touch with an nmc registered rep, and reassured them that the rep is only signing that they've had the discussion but they have just declined to support me in this way ( but say of course they support members who are abroad !?)

Hi Noodle78, Just some reassurance. I am a single parent and applied for PR independent visa ( think it was 176) in April 2009. They received it 9 days before My 45th birthday!!! - 45 was the cut off age then!!! So aged 47 when cut off is 50 sounds fine to me. I got visa grant in Dec 2009 although didn't move out until end 2014 - aged 50 ( my child moved out to Aus at beg of 2012 for Uni once he turned 18 --- so it was all go for the citizenship application for him last week - submitted now!) I did not use migration agent - managed myself without problems - process was definately time consuming but clear. Interesting that they only want easy cases as I would have only used one if I was in complex situation. I did IELTS which gave me extra points. It was well worth it as love living out here - will be 18 months in 2 weeks time! I havent registered or posted before so unsure if my post goes just to you or to whole forum. If latter, apologies to everyone else but wanted to reassure Noodle78 that age alone does not make application high risk if you can get the points. As long as you're under the age limit and can meet the other criteria you seem to be treated the same whether you're 29 or 49.
