The methotrexate is fine doesnt bother me at all i think they like to get you on the meds early these days to slow the damage early on, i do have days where im a little stiff but nothing magor, im hoping the steady climate will help as my specialist said dramatic change in climate doesnt help and a lot of his older patients go to the likes of spain for 3 months at a time and it helps them no end, so im staying hopefull just hope the MOC think the same :biggrin: Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Where abouts are you going? The seasons can be quite different here. It can easily be 20c different from one day to the next. I hear Melbourne is known for it's fluctuating weather. The odd thing I found about medicals is that they were far harsher in the uk than Australia. I had three in oz and they didn't even ask for medical history! Strange. Hubbie did get refered, not for his bmi, which is high, but for scarring on his lung from a chest infection. Took bloody ages to go through. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

april13 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hi guys, I lodged my application for 187 more than 1 month ago as DRC. I intend to go back to my country this July for about 3 weeks. I just wonder do I need to provide police check in my country again for the time I will spend there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordiechef Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Hi everyone, New to this website and was wondering if anyone who knows can help. I understand that the nominating sponsor must be in a regional area, but let's say you have been approved and have worked for so many months/years for your nominating sponsor and want to move to the city, is that allowed in a 187 visa? I am on a 457 visa at the mo but thinking of getting the permanent resident status as this obviously has more benefits. Thanks in advance and looking forward to any insight.

blossom Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Once you are approved and start working on that visa your 2 year regional work starts then (time on the 457 visa is totally seperate). After the two years the employer can send you anywhere. I would say it is only a matter of time with the 457 announcements made yesturday before they start doing more checks on rsms visas too.

blossom Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I haven't looked for it on the diac website. It was all over the news yesturday and a couple of posts were started. Look through the last 24 hours and you should find them, I think at least one had a link. By the looks of it the changes are not law yet, just proposed changes. It was only a matter of time. Rsms crack downs have already started with more work place checks going on. My personal opinion is that state sponsored pr will end up with the state living as a requirement not an obligation, and rsms visas will have more checks to make sure they are doing the actual job sponsored for within the two years. There are just so many people trying to raut the system and doing it blatantly. People come on this very website telling how they have lied about their job to get a 457 visa. Immigration are not stupid, and if they are made to look bad, as these people are, then they will clamp down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicBlue82 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Absolutely. I started building my case with my MA last May and even then he was telling me how many dodgy applications were getting lodged and how the department is really cracking down on them... I wouldn't be surprised if they start doing more checks to verify that the applicant is in fact working for the employer they have been sponsored by etc...

blossom Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Yes, there have already been people turned down on the other thread, one who immigration turned up at their hairdressers and it was closed when it was supposed to be open. That was enough and the visa was refused. Apparently everyone was sick, which I suppose is possible for a small business, a bit harsh... But I suppose random checks are just that. I know rich Indians who's parents tried to buy businesses just so that business could sponsor their child, until being told by their migration agents that it wasn't that simple.

landrover7 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Hi, We applied Decision Ready Perth in Dec and were told by MA that realistically it will be another 6 -12 weeks.
