Hi

I had an email from AHPRA saying that there was a few things wrong with my application. It was not signed by a notery. It  took over a month for them to let me know.  Has this happened to anyone else and how long did it take to get registered but you give them the correct documents 

Thank you in advance 

Hi could you tell me what the shift patterns are likely to be. Its 7.00-20.00 In the uk for a full day 

Thanks 

Thanks for the information. It’s very much appreciated 

My daughter won’t be 5 until March 2020. We are moving to Queensland in a 189 skilled points visa 

Thank you

Hi 

I wonder if anyone can help me?

I move to Queensland in April. We are in the uk at the moment. My son started school in Sep2018. How soon can I enroll him in a school in Queensland? We are staying in temporary accommodation for 4 weeks, but we in tend to stay in the same area after that. I don’t want him missing out on too much school.

Thank you so much for your help 

Hi so my partner wants to register with AHPRA for a registered nurse from the uk. She has a spouse visa as I’m the main applicant. She can’t find the right form on the AHPRA web site. Degree was done in the uk and she is currency registered with MMC and we are still in English, moving to oz in April. Can anyone  help with which application form she needs or a link. 

This would be very much appreciated 

kriss 

Thank you for the information. 

Please can someome help me. My partner was not the main applicant so she didnt do an ielts. She is english and has a Bsc nursing degree and is registered with the nursing and midwifey Council in England. Can she register in australia without ielts. She has a spouse visa. 

I can definitely agree with how frustrating it is. PTE in my opinion would be the best option to keep plugging away until you get top marks, as I believe IELTS is hugely flawed and doesn't always accurately access a person's literacy ability. I also viewed numerous YouTube clips from e2 language that were extremely helpful for PTE.

You can view minimum points for invitation rounds going back about 2 or 3 years on skillselect site.

We're all in the same boat, I'm also waiting for the points to drop by 5 so I can get an invite. Not everyone has 75 or 80 points. 70 points will probably the minimum requirement for an invite for most (depending on occupation).

Yes, the points were very high the last few months. We can't say what the minimum points will be for the next round, but one thing you can be sure of is that they'll certainly be lower than they were in the last few months - as points always reset in July. For my occupation, the points need to drop to 70 before I'll get an invite, and as they're currently on 75 they will most certainly drop again - if not now then in a month or 2 - refer to skillselect site.

No need to stress about it - sit back and wait. The points will come down again.

 

Yeh you are right, maybe I am just being pessimistic. Just find it difficult to believe a country that for political reasons needs to show to the public a tighter control on immigration would start making things any easier, 2017-18 average was 70 points, 2018-19 70 points again, can't see it.

My understanding is that for the past few months there have only been 600 invites per month for the 189 visa which has meant only 75 points getting the invite recently. Most are estimating that the invites will go up to about 1000 or 1200 per month now that the new financial year has started. That should see people with less than 75 getting the invite but still a bit of a wait. 

My migration agent had said that it doesn’t matter about your job for the 189 (except for pro rata jobs) - it all comes down to points and those with the higher points get called. 

 

Hi yes the job position is irrelevant, the main thing that concerns me is if the amount of applicatants on 75 increases then they will still be ahead of 70 pointers meaning it may never get granted for 70 pointers. I have a migration agent aswell, I think they are all saying the same thing. However, people on here are saying that this has happened before i.e, the points fluctuating throughout the year, but my research shows not to this extent and definitely never in the last 5 years has EOI point minimum been so high. This leaves me to predict that 75 points is the new base minimum for EOI non pro rata applications and unfortunately nobody has given me any factual evidence to suggest otherwise!! 

Hope it works out for you and good luck with the ielts. My personal experience with the ielts was I failed it 4 times in getting an 8 in writing. Twice I even managed to achieve a 9 in all the other bands but always a 7 in writing, bearing in mind the writing test is the only one that is marked by a human! So is very much down to their discretion. If you struggle with ielts I would definitely recommended PTE which is all computer based and marked fairly by a computer which I passed on the third attempt with top marks, something I never felt possible with ielts.

Kris I wouldn't have thought that many mechanics would have over 70points. I'd imagine that you would be fine.

Hopefully so, are you in a similar situation?

For 189: This depends on what Occupation code you are applying under. Some of them like Accountant, 70 wont be enough, but the non pro rata occupations 70 could still be enough, although with a wait time of around 6 months+

Not sure about 489.

 

Hi, my application is non pro rata. Fingers crossed that is the case for myself and I’m sure many others on here who have their life in limbo waiting.

The points requirements reset (to some extent) on July 1. So, from this week, people with less than 75 should start getting invites. It will then rise again through the year

VERYSTORMY thanks for your reply. I just can't seem to find any strong evidence that shows 70 pointers have a chance now, looking into political issues and the tightening of immigration levels in Oz, again this is just my opinion and I hope I am proven wrong. 

Hi all, I know the new points minimum is 65 points. However, recent rounds have shown nobody is getting an EOI on less than 75 points. If the first round from july carries on taking 75 pointers or upwards then as I understand it anybody on less than 75 points needs to get more points somehow or the dream is over, as why would they lower the goalposts further through the year? I genuinely hope I am wrong, but is my dream over on 70 points for a 189 visa? Anyone with good evidence to say otherwise would be great to hear!

I'm sure when you update your EOI on points it classes as a new EOI submission date so you will be behind other 70 pointers

Hi, that is what I suspected, life is never that easy!!  I have not asked my agent as she is unavailable until next week, was just hoping really, thanks for the advice, we are also hoping July doesn't bring more negative news for everyone, fingers crossed.
