laevans Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I hope your drinking a large glass of something alcoholic to celebrate tonight!! i am going to copy every step you did in the hope we get such a quick turn around! Everything for CPA ready to go once exam mark is back. When getting everything job wise assessed by the CPA do they then provide you with the points you can claim and break it down etc or just the years you can claim for?

Dragonflygecko Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Congrats sns on the visa grant. I'm so hoping for a smooth and quick journey too. Going to hand my notice into work tomorrow as I have to give 3 months and don't want to be stuck here for a minute longer than I have too! Fingers crossed for the English exam laevans!!

klr81 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Wow, sounds like a great time to sell! Good for you that you will have some funds behind you and aren't waiting on your house to sell while you're over there. We are just in limbo at the moment, waiting to hear back after submitting the final docs on Friday. I've tried to tell myself to vote for an April response at the earliest to try and keep it off my mind for a bit but I can't help hoping for a quicker response after some of the posts on here lately! I really want to book our visa activation trip for August! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klr81 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I've been having serious withdrawals from this site! I couldn't even post the exciting news when our visas were granted last Monday!

sns Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Hi All, Great to be back on here! I've missed you all!! Congratulations klr81 fantastic news!! Really pleased for you. laevans - how did the IELTS go?? We've sold our house (first day on the market) and today my husband resigned from his job, we'll be leaving UK on 17th June I think - scary but exciting And the new server has changed my username - I don't know how - but I was previously known as sns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lever40 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Congrats on such a quick house sale, thats nuts how quick that was!!

klr81 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I wondered where your posts had disappeared to, 'sns' now 'Sarah'! That is fantastic news about your house sale! June 17th will soon come around! Has anybody found any good posts were people have listed all of the things you should do before you leave UK (for example) and before arrival in Aus? I have made a list but I am sure I am missing lots of stuff off it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sns Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 Oh such a list would be a great idea, I'll have a look too. We are mid house declutter, and container companies are coming next week to give us quotes etc. I'm also sorting out bank accounts and paper work, trying to go paper free on all statements etc Not sure what else we should be doing, (I'm constantly making lists for my husband lol) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well hubbie passed his IELTS but got proficiency had all 9s and one bloody 7! I swear it's a fix! We had or positive skills assessment back from CPA and just applied for our visas eekkkk! So we have no chance of a visa 189 I know with just 65 points but we've done or EOI anyway so at least we're in the queue and we have decided to just give it everything and have also applied for a 190 NSW visa which gives us 65+5! So plan of action is andrew will resit the IELTS to get those blinking 20 points which will mean we have 75 and 80! Question is do you think we would stand a chance of getting an invite for the 190 with 70 points proficient English? thankgoodness we have finally been able to submit the EOI as panicking accountants will come off the SOL list in July! How's everyone doing?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sns Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 Hi, great to see you back laevans, I'd been wondering about the English! Has your husband looked at doing PTE-A instead of IELTS? That's the one I did and seems to be easier (from reading on here), also results are back within 24-48 hours. I heard from an agent that it's 1-2 months wait with 70 points at the moment, but you should get it eventually. However, I think with 190 the timing is all in the hands of the individual state, is it NSW? Also it costs a bit more for the visa, as the state also charges you. Fantastic news on the positive CPA assessment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow so exciting and nerve wracking no doubt! we have looked at PTE and closest one is Birmingham which is 2 hours away and all look full for next few months ? Andrew seriously doesn't want to do IELTS again. It is so hard when it's all on the main visa applicant! How often are invites for visas sent out?

klr81 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I know a couple of months ago during my initial stalking of these forums, I found a really comprehensive list that somebody had made and thought "I'll remember where I saw that."..... Laevans have you thought about a remark for the 7? A guy on another forum had his remarked under similar circumstances and it came back higher. I can't remember how much it was but it was far cheaper than a new test. Obviously there's no guarantee but could be worth a shot? I think the invites are twice monthly at the moment. You can go on skillselect and look at the stats for the invite rounds which give you an idea of what points have been invited and which states have issued invites too.
