lhumphreys Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Hi everybody, I'm new to the skilled visa forum and would love any and all advice. I am a nurse (in the United States- we don't have a group like this to reach out to ) and I'm already registered with AHPRA. My partner is Australian and we want to move back to Australia this year. I was going to apply for the partner visa, but due to the cost and processing times I was advised that the skilled migrant visa might be the faster and more efficient route. That being said I have a few questions and would love any and all help. Can I travel to and from Australia while waiting for approval? Do I have to be outside of Australia when approved? After being approved was there a certain amount of time that you had to be in Australia by? And finally for nursing.... is it the general skilled visa migration visa 476/887? Sorry I'm asking all of the beginner questions. I found these answers to be much more readily available on the partner visa portion of the immigration website (and maybe that means they are stricter while verifying partner visas? but I have no idea really). Thank you all so much for your help! Lindsey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 If you are registered with APHRA, I strongly advise that you should consult a registered migration agent for advice about developing a visa strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
