   Neither did I. So as Mhai mentioned I guess it really depends on the consul/case officer. I got mine last August 31.

   Wow, this is the first time I've heard about the DIAC requiring IELTS even just for a 456 visa. DIAC did not ask for my IELTS but I remember I submitted a copy of my eligibility letter from AHPRA. Thanks for sharing this Mhai. At least others will be...

   The College of Nursing in Burwood, NSW also accepts applicants without IELTS. For them the eligibility letter from AHPRA is proof enough that your English is acceptable. However you'll be needing a valid IELTS with no less than 7 in each category by ...

   I'm sorry to hear that. I suggest you just follow your doctor's advice. Sorry too because to my knowledge, medical advice is prohibited in this forum. I'm not sure if your thyroid problem will affect the Embassy's medical exam. From what I remember, ...

   Best person to ask is the coordinator of CON. I'm assuming she already sent you the confirmation letter and the list of additional documents that we have to show them on our 1st day. Good luck and see you soon!

   I suggest you have your HepB titre checked again. If it's adequate then I guess you can skip the booster. Are you really in for the September 26 intake? Do you already have a visa? Regarding your MMR, I think having your IgG checked will cost more th...

   To those who are already done with their BPs.. just wondering... were you required to submit essay-type assignments/homework? Reason I'm asking is I'm not sure I'll be able to bring my laptop when I leave. My relatives of course have desktops as well...

   Well I'm not really sure if we NEED to but to be safe I renewed mine last month because it'll expire on October. Do not believe the girl! I got mine the same day! Be sure to ask for the application form for renewal with "Express" on it or something l...

    I had Boostrix :) As to the side effects, sorry can't help you with that. I guess it's fine to have your DPT now but to be sure, just ask your doctor. I had the Boostrix shot about 3 weeks ago and just this afternoon I received my Hepa B booster. My ...

    Hi doodz, I know I'm not sir joiemike hehehe but let me answer your question. There are 2 brands, Boostrix and Adacel. For pedia it's often called DPT but the one for adults I think are called DTap or TdaP. Please don't ask me what they stand for hah...

    Hi there! So we'll be classmates?! I'm also in for CON's Sept. 26 intake. Regarding your questions, here's what I understand: 1. Yes, you need one dose (adult) of DPT. Either Boostrix or Adacel will do. 2. If you've had chickenpox before, a medical c...

    Why did you apply for a tourist visa anyway? If it's for the purpose of undergoing the BP before AHPRA's assessment then we're sorry to tell you that it's not the way things should be done. AHPRA usually takes minimum of 2 months to assess an applica...

    Yes I bought the ticket a week before I got my visa. I booked a week before paying. Try Quantas. They did not ask for my visa. I know it's quite risky purchasing the ticket before having my visa but I knew in my heart that I'll be able to get my visa...
