I’ll be living in south Australia for Atleast 6 months tho.

Hi guys, I applied for my citizenship at Paramatta(NSW) on 30/06 and just got an invite today, I have rescheduled the appointment for this week. I’m planning to fly to South Australia for work later this week. Wondering whether it would be possible to have the ceremony at a different council ? Would that slow down the process? That is sit the exam/interview in NSW and request to have ceremony elsewhere. thanks in advance

recently got my PR and my parents are now considering to make the move to Aus as well. My dad runs a successful business back home. I looked into the business visa criteria and they would need to invest 1.25-2.5 million, which is doable for them. They score ~ 110 on the points. But the main issue they are having is that they turn 58 this year. It states that you won’t be invited if you are aged > 55. I was wondering whether anyone has any experience getting a state sponsorship? Any chance of that happening? And any agents on this site who deals with this sort of visa?

Hi Guys, I finally got an invite as Medical Practitioner 2 weeks ago for a 189, I was on 90 points. I haven’t still submitted my application yet, still waiting for my UK and Australian police check to arrive.

I guess one option would be to apply for jobs. As far as I’m aware doctors are exempt from the travel ban, if they have a job offer. This would enable you to apply for sponsorship.

I would have expected an invite with 90 points. Did you guys apply for a 190 as well?

Medicine is on the eligible list as wel since we do 3 years of clinical placements in hospitals as part of our course.

I’m about to graduate from my medicine degree in the next couple of weeks and would be starting work at NSW hospital on a 2 year contract. I got the option of applying for the post graduate visa 485, or ask my hospital to sponsor me for the 482. Any advantage of the 482 over the 485 visa?

True, but number of applicants would decrease as well.

Do you think the number of people applying to Australia would decrease over the next few months? ( recession, job losses, delay in doing exams) and the possibility of Australia increasing the intake to boost the economy, leading to a decrease in the points required to get an invite? what are your thoughts on this guys?

I’ll be having 85 points with state sponsorship for early childhood teacher, so I have chance to be called this year?

It’s impossible to get invited these days, it was so easy back in 2016.

That’s what I keep on telling myself, but end up there with less prep, is it possible to go from 7 to 8? Or should I just try and do pte?

hi guys, need some advise, I just feel more comfortable with ielts, so thought I'll have another go at it. I have done the Academic IELTS over 5 times over the years for university and so on, with my overall score always being 8.5. I always got above 8.5 for both reading and listening, with my speaking being between 7.5-8.5 and writing 7-7.5( think I got 8 once) I did the academic IELTS in September and got L-9 R-8.5 S-8.5 W-7, so my question is should I prepare well and give it another go with academic IELTS since I'm so used to it? or do the general IELTS? is it easier? as in easier to score? The reason I prefer to stick to ielts is that i'm so used to it, I'm quite apprehensive to even switch to General Ielts lol. What would you guys suggest?
