cos i was just thinking queensland is a bit cheaper than NBV..:)
anyway, why dont you email them and ask about the progess of your application?
already did..but no definite time. I guess its takes around 7-8 weeks based on other peoples timelines.. so here's to hoping..so you're going with the CAS way ? or NBV since you have both ?
I just want to share to everyone the time frame of my application..
3rd week of FEB sent the application and documents to NBV
4th week of FEB application payment debited to my credit card
3rd week of MARCH received letter from NBV informing me I need to undertake bridging course
3rd week of MARCH applied and enrolled with ETEA
4th week of MARCH paid half of the course fee
1st week of APRIL underwent Medical Exam for the Visa application
3rd week of APRIL called Australian Embassy in Philippines for the pickup of my 456 visa application, picked up April 25
April 30 got my passport back with visa label
May 23 left for Australia
June to August Bridging Course
4th week of July Job Interview
1st week of August Job Offer
2nd week of August Sponsorship filed, 457 visa application lodged

Medical Exam as advised by visa case officer
I am now waiting for my registration and my 457 visa.. I did everything on my own.. I hope my story will give everyone encouragement and strive to get registered here in Australia..
how come you had to take the medical exam twice? I thought that medical exams were valid for six months? is there a difference in the two medical exams you underwent?

it depends on my ielts results...my old ielts have already expired so i have to have a new one...:)
if my results would be enough to meet the QNC's criteria then i would go for qnc..:)

i believe the reason why she underwent a medical exam again is because of the visa...her visa will be changed so a new medical exam result is needed...

God bless everyone!
are you still waiting for NBV results? it's really taking too long these days I'll be on my 3rd month of waiting on Sept 19. I was supposed to get it by July 19 based on 30-day turn around time...
Hopefully, we get our positive assessments very soon.

@ jm21 This link posted by punjabi should be able to help you understand the QNC path. If not just ask in the forum. It shows the pathway of the things you need to do.

I just had the blood test redone, HIV, Hep B and Hep C.. I guess they want to make sure blood results are accurate, that's what I think.. That will depend on the visa officer what medical exams you still need to undergo its case to case basis.. I cant tell what was required of me will be the same for everyone...
