DreamingOfAus 10 Posted September 20, 2011 Hi there guys, I have used this site before and always got some pretty good advice. I now have my skills assessment from anmc and have now submitted my form for the 175 independent visa. I now have a few dilemnas: + I do not know how to attatch evidence to my application how do I do this? Also as they require certified copies of documents do I send this by post, or can I attatch it to the application somehow? Not sure how to do this + They also ask for an electronic passport photo, how do I obtain this. Any help would be appreciated I am lost at the moment as to how to further my application Thanksx IELTS passed: June 10, ANMAC sent: July 11, 175 visa lodged: September 11, Case Officer: March 12, AHPRA sent June 12, Medical July 12, AHPRA granted: July 12, Visa granted September 12, Arrived: February 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You use this number to log into your application and then you can upload your documents to your application. As long as the documents you are uploading have some colour on them you do not need them certifying. Only if they are black and White will you need them to be certified before you upload them. Good luck :0) x Living our dream :biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pandlee 10 Posted September 27, 2011 Hi all I'm Pauline and have just recently been offered a job at Westmeads Children's hospital Sydney, I've agreed to start work in March I am unsure how long the visa process may take is this possible or might it take longer than 5-6 months? Myself and my fella Lee are really excited and nervous about moving I've been rabbiting on about doing it for 10 years and finally pulled me finger out and got organised its seems very scary now as everything seems to be going very fast! Great idea to meet other nurses in same boat! P X Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
traceyd 10 Posted September 28, 2011 Hi Pauline, Great that you have a job at Westmead. I am a paediatric nurse looking at Adelaide or Melbourne, but if not, it is Westmead Hospital that I am looking at. Don't want to go until January 2013 though. What type of ward will you be working on? I wondered if you could tell me what your interview was like, what they wanted to know, etc?

DreamingOfAus 10 Posted September 29, 2011 Hi guys I am uploading my documentation via the evisa site for the 175 visa, do you have to have documents like your birth certificate certified and then upload it to the computer? Seems a bit lengthy doing that. Or do I just photocopy my certificates and upload them without being certified? Also who can certify these if I do have to do this? Also how do you obtain an electronic passport photo?

funkyashbash 10 Posted October 4, 2011 Hi guys. My names ashley from glasgow. I'm young, single and seriously thinking about making a move to oz to work. I qualified in 2009 with my degree in psychiatric nursing. I have now nearly 2 years of working with addictions and social work regarding child protection cases behind me. I have no ties to stop me however the thought is naturally daunting. I've lived in perth, western oz for a few months back in 2009 and wasn't impressed. Beautiful place of course however i am a city chic and was told by backpackers whom i met in pubs in perth then i would like Melbourne better as it is more modern and cosmopolitan. Is this the case? Would love to hear from folk. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
