yeah its been a while aelith. its good to see that you're still here helping people out
i followed your the steps however my aunt there told me that i need to be assessed first by ANMC before NBV accepts my application. this confuses me
is it that if i wanna work and migrate i have to go to ANMC first then NBV but if i would work only then apply to NBV only
please tell me if i really need to apply to ANMC first
and lastly, what visa do nurses going to australia generally get? i've read about this in the net but i wanna see your insights too
sorry if you already answered this before because i cant read all the pages in this thread to find the answer coz its over a hundred pages already hehe
thnx a lot!!!
You don't need to go to ANMC first. To convince your aunt, let them call NBV and they will say the same thing. :)
See the thing is, You don't need ANMC yet. You'll need ANMC for skilled migration which you won't be applying for now. What you need to finish first is your registration ( you'll need this for positive assessment).
What I would suggest is that you call both ANMC and NBV just to clear things.
Visa will depend on how long your course will be. Usually for a BP program for 3 months or less.. they apply for a 456 (Short Stay visa) or a Tourist Visa. When they pass the BP & have an employer sponsoring them, they can then apply for a 457 visa (Long stay).
i wonder if you r in Aus now. i been reading the entire thread but its too long:uhoh3: i hope you dont mind me asking, coz i am a bit interested in trying my luck in Aus too...
O my, I hope the assessment with QNC is not gonna take forever. We've waiting for like more than 2 months :cry: Perhaps because of the humongous number of nurses applying, that's why it takes a while for the result. Cross fingers..

Actually, not yet I'm taking a different route tho. However, I do know a lot of people who have already finished the BP and are now working... some are still in the process.

Sad to say, because of the bulk of nurses applying QNC, the assessment will take more time.

hey dudzy, when are you leaving? make sure you're not too busy when you get there coz you need to update me with ETEA :) lol.... good luck!
btw, why don't you get a fully refundable ticket if they really want roundtrip...did you tell PAL that the embassy told you the ticket doesn't matter?

or why not purchase the ticket online?
i tried online but PAL said that they have problems with their online system this time thats why i cant pay online... is there such thing as fully refundable? yes, i told them thats what the embassy told me.. im planning to leave may 23 a week before the course commences..

Actually, since it's a 456 visa. You really need a return ticket if I'm not mistaken. This is because basically a 456 visa would require you to go home before the visa is expired. If ever you apply for a 457 visa while in Australia and while your 456 is still valid, then you can cancel your return ticket and you can refund all, if not, some of it. Usually they deduct some fee for the cancellation.
