Ouch that's a while to wait alright... hope it comes through sooner rather than later for you.

I agree with JetBlast.... think things got a little crazy when they bumped up the minimum points for the 189 and everyone jumped ship to the 190 and 489 for the extra points! JetBlast is that the wait time for state nomination now?

Looking at moving to the Sunshine Coast where there will hopefully be some work opportunities. Where are you looking at? Yeah the uncertainty is a nightmare, I've tried planning as much as possible but reading on lots of forums and groups about the different timelines and nothing adds up... some people getting grants reasonably quick and some waiting a lot longer! Can't seem to make any sense or reason of it. Still it'll be worth it all in the long run

Hi Barry, I'm a radiographer as well and am also heading to QLD on a 489 visa with 70 points. I submitted the EOI back in April and received the initial state invite within a few days. Completed that and received the actual invitation a few weeks after. Lodged for the visa on 1st May and haven't heard anything since! The whole process is unpredictable so can't really advise on how long the profession will remain on the list. I was under the impression the review it yearly but maybe someone else more in the know can advise you on this. Good luck

So it is..... thanks

Hi LeeH, Could you give me a rough timeline on your AHPRA application?

Thanks

Ok thanks for the info both of you, seems like some mixed reviews. I think I'll just fill out the form 80 just in case. Any experience on form 1221? Or is it the same thoughts? Thanks

Hi Guy's, I'm going to lodge my 489 visa in the next few days for QLD and am trying to get everything ready to front load and hopefully speed up the process. What are peoples thoughts/experiences of Form 80 and Form 1221? Are there many direct grants given without them or is it likely that I'll be contacted to provide them later on in the process? Cheers

Hi All, Quick question..... Who has to fill out (or is recommended to fill out) the forms 80 and 1221? Is it both for main applicant and partner or one for each person? Thanks in advance Gordon

Hi ABG, Thanks for the advice, English is not her native language so the exam was necessary..... she did the test on Thursday and passed so all is well Gordon

Great, thanks for the advice both of you. Marisawright it doesn't state anything about the added fee yet. I'm in a hurry to submit so I can also get the HAP number to get the medicals booked. Thanks again ?

Hi all, Received my invite for the 489 visa and just filling out the online form to lodge...... can anyone offer some advice on something. Under my wife's details they ask if she has sat an English language test, she has not yet but we are booked to do so next week. If I lodge the visa with the information that she has not yet sat the test will I later be able to edit the application. For example I've read that without proof of English language ability there is a an additional fee (which is quite big). I have already sat the test and we will be going on my points. Any help offered greatly appreciated..... I want to get this visa lodged asap Thanks Gordon
-
Just to clarify this is for my partner on my application... I have already sat the test and we will be going on my points. Cheers Gordon

gord81 replied to gord81's topic in Working and Skilled Visas
Ah ok I'm guessing it will be the state nomination I'll be going for then! I'm a medical diagnostic radiographer with 70 points (including state points). Have you applied recently? What's your timeframe so far?- 10 replies

AHPRA or ASMIRT for Radiographer registration?
gord81 replied to lamoss's topic in Working and Skilled Visas
Hi Lamoss, You will need to complete a skills assessment with ASMIRT first in order to be eligible to apply for a skilled visa. You will need AHPRA if you are eligible/successful in applying for the skilled visa to work. I'd suggest getting the ASMIRT first. Good luck with it all Gordon -
489 State sponsored Vs 489 Family sponsored
gord81 replied to gord81's topic in Working and Skilled Visas
Hi Woody2709, Thanks for the reply. He lives within the family area postcodes, so I'm trying to work out which will give me access to the most areas so I can move around as freely as possible to check out more areas for living and have greater access to work locations. Do you know if the family sponsorship ties me down to a certain area such as where my brother lives? Or will it give me access to the regional area postcodes plus the family area postcodes? Thanks Gordon- 10 replies

Hi All, Could anyone advise on which one is the better option...... success/processing time/priority etc? I'm looking at Queensland and my brother lives there so family sponsorship is an option but wanted to know if they give priority for one over the other. If anyone has any experience or knows of the pro's and con's I would love to hear them. Cheers Gordon

Hi all, I've submitted an EOI with 60 points for a 189 visa back in November. It's becoming more apparent that the invite isn't going to happen any time soon with the current number of invites and the high pointers getting through. I would like to start looking at a 190 visa with the hopes of getting an invite a bit sooner. If anyone can help with the following I'd be very grateful...... 1. Can anyone advise on how to submit a second EOI.... I can't see the option for it anywhere on skillselect and am worried that I might change my current EOI and then loose my date of effect and ultimately my place in the queue? 2. Also does anyone know if the state sponsorship works any faster or has had any experience with the 190? My profession is: Medical Diagnostic Radiographer 251211 Thanks in advance Gordon
