DawnAndGraeme Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Hi currently on 457 looking like applying for a 189 visa is our best option being that it has no lock in time like the 187 or 186 visa. However the 189 visa is mostly for people outside Australia who are applying for residency based on their profession and because of this there are many external bodies (VETASESS TRA ANMAC) that check people have the necessary skill level to apply for registration in Australia. Before we came over i has considered getting my UK plumbing assessed through VETASSESS when we looked into it however it was much quicker for us to apply for a 457 Based on My wifes job (nurse) we had our 457 approved 2.5 yeas ago and have been living here ever since. She however is 'tied' to her employer. the 189 talks about a 'skills assessment' surely this would not be applicable as she is already a RN in NSW. I am going to phone Imigration to seek clarification, but wondered if anybody else has gone through this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 If she wants to apply for or without sponsorship then yes, she will need to do a skills assessment and many people do. If she is happy to do it via her employer sponsorship - 186/187 then she would not require a skills assessment and this visa is normally very quick to obtain.

Thanks stormy, it seems that she can do a modified assessment through anmac at a llower cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxlornaxx Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I went 457 then 189..if she is already registered wth ahpra she only needs modified assessment which is cheaper n more straightforward..I got 189 in 4 weeks earlier this year.

Captain Roberto Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 A skills assessment for nursing isn't so bad. Mainly form filling and admin. Worth it for a PR visa I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
