Ele Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Hi I completed an expression of interest around 6 weeks ago. I've not had a reply. Thinking of moving to Melbourne in a year Im a mental health nurse & want to get the ball rolling. Any advice, suggestions much appreciated Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Assuming you have a minimum of 60 points then you should get an invite very soon and then you can lodge all your documents - skills assessment / ILETS etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ele Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 Thanks for replying. I'm not sure if I've filled the EOI in right. I should have 70 points & it says I have 55. I'm English & fluent but think I've filled this bit in wrong as it asked for a qualification in the last year. Any ideas? I can go back in & change it.

NorthernLights Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 You can submit as many EOI as you like, so just redo it. I'm sure you know but you can't claim any points for English without having passed one of the specific tests ielts/PTE etc. Being English is of no relevance for a points based visa. What are you basing your points on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ele Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 Thanks for reply. At the moment I only have 55 points. Will I not get asked?

ANMAC require IELTS for their asssessment, I may be wrong but I would have though you could then use that on the EOI as proof of English, assuming your score was high enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Have you got a skills assessment? Have you completed an English test? You can't claim point for English just by being an English speaker, you need to take a test such as ilets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ele Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 Thanks for replying. I passed gcse English but it was years ago. Ok thanks looks like I have to look in to these English tests now if I want to increase my points Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveAGirlShoes Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 As Nemesis asked, have you had your skills assessed? You can't claim points for your degree, or your work experience, if you have not gained a positive assessment. I believe there is a minimum English language requirement for nursing anyway (IELTS, PTE etc) so again, this will up your points. It's important you understand the process though. At the time you submit your EOI you must be able to prove your claims for points. For instance if you claim to have superior English on the 1st July, you must have passed the relevant test before this date Not after. Loads of info on the forum, especially for nurses, so good luck Sent from my SM-J510FN using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 GCSE's. A levels and even your degree mean nothing. You must have a skills assessment to prove you have the occupation. As part of that, you may also need to take an English test at an advanced level. This is in addition to taking it for points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ele Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 Thanks again for your reply. I thought this was the easy bit. Don't know what to do next now. I haven't had a skills assessment no. Who do I contact for this? Also who to contact about these English tests. I'm starting at the beginning & need all the help I can get. Thanks everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 https://www.anmac.org.au/skilled-migration-services/registered-nurse/registered-nurse-full-skills-assessment This is the link to the skills assessment by ANMAC. This is purely to get your skills assessed for the purpose of applying for a visa. Registration is with AHPRA (and another process). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Collett Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I recommend you discuss strategy and your options with a registered migration agent who is experienced in skilled visa applications.

Shigeaki Yoshida Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I think the easiest way is to get a help from a migration agent. Also, this is IELTS website link: https://www.ielts.org/ Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ele Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Can anyone suggest an agent Iminbetween Manchester & Leeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Collett Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 5 minutes ago, Ele said: Can anyone suggest an agent Iminbetween Manchester & Leeds I invite you to not be constrained by the location of possible migration agents. Rather, you should be looking for an agent who has knowledge and experience - communications are so good these days you ought not be limited by where you are presently. As an example, I'm replying to your post within 10 minutes, and I'm in Melbourne! Best regards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 1 hour ago, Ele said: Can anyone suggest an agent Iminbetween Manchester & Leeds Given agents mainly operate by phone and email, it doesn't really matter where they are. When I was doing my first visa, my agent was in Sydney and I was in Leicester. On my second I was in Sydney and my agent was in Perth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
