Immigration Requirements for Australia and New Zealand

jems · Aug 4, 2014

so what am i gonna do if i already reached the 6 months and i haven't found a sponsor yet?

Go back home. And if you can, you are free to come back, provided that if you have a multiple visa entry.. But dont dwell on that yet. Start your ahpra application first so you wont be stucked up on your what if's

Hi everyone, it really has been a long time since i have been on these pages. Just want to share about my experience so far. It has been quite a journey and it is still ongoing with so many roller coaster ups-and-downs.

1. Applied for AHPRA assessment: August 13, 2013

2. AHPRA LOE arrived: January 2, 2014

3. Enrolled in Bridging Course: January 14, 2014

4. Applied for Visitor Visa: January 15, 2014

5. Approval Date of Visitor Visa: February 10, 2014

6. Started Bridging Program: February 21-May 5, 2014

7. AHPRA Registration approved; May 12, 2014

8. ANMAC Assessment Commenced: May 22, 2014

9. ANMAC Assessment Completed: August 20, 2014

10. Expression of Interest submitted SI 189 60 points: August 20, 2014

So another waiting game for the invite from the DIBP and etc. It has been more than a year since i made the decision to live and work and Australia. Hopefully the end of the tunnel is near. So keep the faith guys. Even if sponsorship is hard to come by and almost zero, there are alternative routes to take. If you really want it, there is always a way. ALWAYS BE POSITIVE. :yes:

sir mark night,sorry i'm confused.after ung bridging course and registration,what's with number 8 and 9?can u pls enlighten me.thx!

marknight_RN · Aug 23, 2014

Hi @dennyyna, by number 8 and 9 i applied for ANMAC assessment since i am not willing to wait around for the non-existent sponsorship as of this time i opted to go down the permanent migration pathway. Skilled Independent visa. So after gaining my registration i immediately processed my assessment because it takes quite so long. So now i have submitted my interest in applying for a visa. Hope that answers your question.

dennyyna · Aug 23, 2014

for the skilled independent visa,the requirement for this is 3 years paid experience am i correct sir?

Yes, 3 years paid experience to prove you are indeed eligible to gain the necessary points for the visa. Are you done with your bridging program as well?

i'm still working on me ielts sir.i really want to do the bp but i'm worried about the new aphra guidelines

marknight_RN · Aug 23, 2014

First of all FOCUS on you IELTS. Then take it one step at a time. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is the Australian Dream Easy to attain. So get the scores you need first then work your way up to AHPRA, Bridging, ANMAC if ever and Working and Living in Aussie. Keep praying and keep working hard. Don't think to much of the future. Okay. Chillax. But also Keep yourself updated. There are many people here in the forum willing to help and answer but you should help yourself as well. Read through the pages and take note. Just my 2 cents of advice.

dennyyna · Aug 27, 2014

thank you for the advice sir marknight! i really appreciate it:)
