Some people may have those in their family unit.

As rammygirl says, Your family unit is just you, your partner and any children you may have. Not your extended family. 

 

That makes a lot of sense! Thank you

If all your family unit will be moving to Australia then your answer is no. 

Thank you for your reply! I did think it would be ‘no’ at first but when I clicked yes it gave me a drop down menu for potential family unit members and they included everyone from parents to business associates, friends, step brothers etc so it has me really confused? 

Can you shed any light?

Hello!

I am currently applying for the 190 visa on my own and have came across a question to barb is baffling myself and everyone I have asked. I wondered if any of you guys could enlighten me on what it is asking for.

’Does the applicant have any member of their family unit not traveling to Australia who are not Australian citizens or Australian permanent residents’ yes/no? 

Does anyone understand in more detail what they are asking? Do include all my family members, although they are not joining me? Do I say no? Or do I include my defacto? 

Hope you you can help!

Yep I found it all a stress! I have to present in person by 10th July and have no other annual leave! I might try and ask for an extension but I won’t be able to get over to Australia till at least September as can’t get any holidays in summer now they’ve all been taken up!

where do you work if you don’t mind me asking? And are you planning on going to Sydney?

Maybe I could grab your email address?

Nearly 20 months qualified now! I’m sure you’ll have done it right because as I remember the visa application wasn’t much different to the ANMAC application in terms of requirements! Have you applied for the visa for both 189 or 190 or done an EOI for both?

so good you already have AHPRA!! It’s the most stressful thing having to work out if I fly over there or not for my annual leave (which I booked off for my birthday as well! Really don’t wanna have to do a 48hour round trip for my 30th!!) 

Ahh amazing! So we are similar! I have been qualified for three years but I have only 19 months experience! I traveled a bit

I received my invite for 190 visa today so I am looking to get that application is ASAP

AHPRA was incredibly stressful! I did all of mine from the UK, could you not just stay at home and do it? You cant spend your 30th on a plane!

How long does the AHPRA registration last for?  My GF is about to fly over to 'present in person' to confirm identity.  I presumed it'd expire after 12 months unless renewed but I'm not found this written anywhere.

Thanks

 

It lasts a year, I just renewed mine today. It took me 8 months to get my AHPRA registration! Takes a while so best to get everything sorted before you go, incase you havent!  

But yes, 12 months

Ah lovely! Yeah I was expecting 12 weeks for the invite as that’s what they said, but got it in 2 weeks! Have you applied for the visa or for the nomination? For the 190 you get an invite for the nomination and then an invite for the visa! Have you done all ahpra as well?

I am doing everything on my own so I hope I have done it right, but I have applied for both 189 visa with 65points and 190 visa with 70 points for NSW. I applied for them both on the same EOI. Is that correct?! 

I got my AHPRA two years ago and worked in Aus for 6 months on a working holiday visa! So I’m literally ready to go as soon as I get an invite ? 

How long have you worked as a midwife?! ? I’m honestly so happy to be able to speak to a fellow midwife!

Hi guys!

so I’m a midwife, 190 for NSW - 65 points with 70 once nominated. Here’s my timeline:

skills assessment sent 8th January, approved by ANMAC end of January.

EOI for subclass 190 lodged 24th february

invited to apply for nomination 3rd march

applied for nomination around 9th march

invited to apply for 190 visa around 18 march

application for visa lodged 23rd March and Medicals and police check all done last week.

 

if anyone has any tips on how to remain calm whilst waiting for any news it’d be greatly appreciated ?

 

Oh my goodness I can’t believe I have finally found another midwife! I’ve not came across one yet! 

Congratulations on your invite! That is so exciting! 

I am exactly the same as you, I have applied for 189/190 visa with 65 points and 70 points. I lodged mine on the 21st March but haven’t heard anything since! Did you just receive an email? 

Its really reassuring to see you got yours through so quickly! I’m driving myself crazy researching online the occupation ceilings and invitation rounds ? ! 

Hey!

I am really curious as to whether there are any midwives here applying for the 189/190 visa? I have yet to come across another midwife!

I have submitted my EOI 189 - 65 and 190 - 70. 

sjx

I submitted my EOI yesterday 19/03 with 65 points 189 visa! I'm doing it alone too, I just can't afford the lawyer fees! But it's not been too bad so far! 

Are there any other midwives here?? 

I am just about to as well! In fact, I went to apply last night and I found that when I selected 'new application' there was no option for 189 skilled migration other than the NewZealand stream! 

Could anyone help me with that?  

That seems to be the case doesn't it. Its hard to find any midwives to discuss this with. I haven't actually submitted my EOI yet as I was concerned about this, have

no occupations with 65 or less are being invited. I don't expect that to change until July

you submitted yours or are you waiting until July?

Hey! I was wondering if there were any midwives here applying for the 189 visa with 65 points or less? Has anyone been invited to apply?
