Smitty Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Hi All, I am exploring an option of asking my prospective employer to nominate me under direct entry stream of ENS 186 visa application. I am interested to check out the processing time as I am offshore.My AHPRA eligibilty expires at the end of March 2013 and I wish to avoid it desperately. I was planning to apply for a state sponsorship subclass 190 visa anyways and wonder which one of the two is a better option in terms of processing times.I wish to be in Australia before my AHPRA eligibility expires. My other option would be to go on 457 sponsorship visa and wait for my state sponsorship visa to come through. I have 2 boys aged 3, 7 and wish to enrol them at school as soon as possible and if I could avoid paying the school fees, it would have been helpful!!:confused: Any thoughts all you helpful people out there?

lebourvellec Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 When does it expire?? 2014??? Have you done your skills assessment and academic ielts, as you will require this also for 186. The processing of 190 or 189 is much faster than 186 so would be better route than 186 in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Yes Labourvellc, I am currently waiting on my skills assessment to come through...any time soon now, I did my acaedemic IELTS for skills assessment. My AHPRA eligibilty expires in March 2014, hence the rush. I can not imagine going through all the hassle of application again and more over I will need to go to AHPRA office before March to collect the registration that would be added stress and again every penny matters.:smile: Thanks for your your response.

lebourvellec Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I would aim for 189 or 190- the 186 does take sometime as employers have sponsorship and nomination to go through. Fastest way would be 457 while applying for 189 or 190 at same time. Most employers prefer 457 over PR visa. Your looking at 6 months for 186. In the grand scheme of the amount a visa cost now re-doing aphra wouldn't be a big deal. 190/189 will give more flexibility to getting to Australia.
