Did they give you a specific time frame? Thanks.

Hello and congratulations!!! Were you able to apply for Victoria nomination without the AHPRA in-principle approval?

Hello, Good luck on receiving a pre-invite from Victoria. I am also a registered nurse in the U.S., done my ANMAC assessment last year, but I only have 1.5 year of nursing experience. Hopefully, Victoria will keep the same requirements and I will be able to apply after 6 months....although my score is not as high as yours... Keep us posted regarding the AHPRA outcome....

hello, did you still have to show up in person at AHPRA office to obtain registration (through Trans-Tasmanian Agreement)? Thanks

Thank you!

hello, congrats on the visa grant!!! I do have one question regarding the average registered nurse salary in Tasmania. Is it hard to meet the minimum income requirement of 53, 900? thank you and good luck!

Hi Martina, Are you still waiting for your visa to be approved? I received a positive skill assessment from ANMAC ,( ANZSCO code Medical). I wanted to ask you if the Department of Home Affairs requires proof of work experience if one is not claiming points for the same? And if they do require proof, are reference letters enough or they ask for more documents like tax returns, pay slips...? Thanks, Kate

thanks!

What is the name of the migration agency if you don't mind sharing? thanks

I did, they said they cannot help with that. I will try again and see what happens.

Thank you very much!!!

Hello, Did you get your skill assessment for RN (Medical)? I have a difficult time deciding which ANZSCO code to use. I am a registered nurse working at a clinic for asthma and allergies, and cannot decide between RN (nec), RN (Medical), or RN (medical practice). I even asked a few migration agents and they all told me different things. I am really confused and do not want to pick a wrong ANZSCO code. anybody here with a similar experience? Any recommendations for good migration agencies? thanks, kate

can you recommend a good migration agent? I have a hard time finding one. Thank you and good luck!

Hello, congrats on the invite. I am currently doing my skill assessment with ANMAC and would like to apply for 489 visa for SI. I have almost 1 year of nursing experience as a registered nurse at a clinic for asthma and allergy clinic. I have applied as an RN nec with anmac because I could not figure out which ANZSCO code is the best fit for my occupation. How many years of nursing experience do you have? I am afraid to apply because I know SI asks for 2 years of nursing experience onshore. Do you have nursing experience in Australia? I have also seen many nurses approved for nomination without meeting this requirement. my score is 60+10=70 points total.

Hello Modasser, Hope all is well. Do you mind sharing what kind of visa did you get initially for Tasmania? I also have 60+5 points and was thinking to apply for 190 or 489 visa for NSW, but I might consider Tasmania as an option. Thank you!

That's great! Congrats!!! do you have 65 points total including the 10 points for nomination? How long did you wait to get invited? How many years of nursing experience do you have? I only have 1 year of experience. I have total of 70 points (60 +10), currently doing my skill assessment with ANMAC, and then I will apply for 489 visa. This gives me hope that I might get an invite with 70 points:)

thanks:)

Would you share your occupation and points?

how do I search for them on this site?

Hello, were you able to claim points for your Masters degree? I am in the same situation, overseas nurse with less than 1 year of experience and thinking to apply for 190 with 65 points or 489 with 70 points, both for NSW as I do not have a lot of experience. The other option is to apply for a student visa, and I was also looking at doing a Masters of Public Health, but I am concerned if I will be able to claim extra 5 points for my studies as it is not Master in Nursing. I know MPH is a good option for registered nurses, but just want to make sure I can claim points if I decide to do it. were you able to work as a registered nurse while you were a student and claim points for this, or you had to wait to get your TR first to claim points for work experience? your help is greatly appreciated. good luck!

hello, congrats on your invite! I am also a registered nurse, educated and currently working in the US at a Clinic for asthma and allergies. I have less than 1 year of experience, but by the time I am done with my skill assessment, I am sure I ll have 1 year of experience. At the moment I am thinking of what ANZSCO code to use, registered nurse nec, or registered nurse medical practice. Is it possible to change your code after you apply to ANMAC, but before your assessment has started? I am not sure what are the chances of getting an invite with a skill assessment for RN nec. It is so nice to see that people with 70 points are getting invites, as I am in the same boat. I was thinking to apply for 190 for NSW with 65 points (including sponsorship), but 489 might be a better option, although many of the regions do not accept applications at the moment. Any recommendations for good migration agents? thank you and all the best with the paperwork and the application process.

thanks:)

Hello again, I do have a few more questions: 1. what is the most reliable resource for an accurate description of the ANZSCO code? I have a difficult time deciding on mine, whether to use RN nec or RN medical practice for working at Asthma and allergy clinic. 2. Is there a way to do international criminal background check for other countries while in Australia, or you have to go back to your country and do one? 3. My alternative option is to go for my Master of Science in Nursing in Australia for some extra points, however, my concern is whether this will be recognized for extra points since I will be already registered with AHPRA and be qualified to work as a registered nurse..Anybody here with similar experience? Thank you all, Kate

Hello,, Just read your post. Congrats on getting an invite. I am also a registered nurse and want to apply for 190 visa with 65 points or 489 with 70 for NSW.. I know the wait going to be long, but it's worth trying... Just trying to find a good immigration agent at the moment.... Good luck. Kate
