ImmilBees Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I think what's happened, is we made the decision after 6yrs of thinking about it. So then got excited and started researching places and areas we could end up. we researched job opportunities, what visa would suit best etc, then all the things we needed to do for our visa. I've sent off for my verification of registration, and booking ILETS for 20th September. And so now until that's done it's all gone a bit quiet. or am I missing something I could be doing? Can I start skills assessment process before doing ILETS? (For nursing) or is this it now till September then it all kicks off again once skills assessment process can start? i think because it was all a bit of a whirl wind to start with, with forms and applications etc it seems to have all died down. I suppose if my visa gets granted it'll all become a whirl wind again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashlenelouise Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 It's only after ielts has been passed that you can apply for skills assessment because anmac application form asks if you have successfully passed ielts xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou8670 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I'd concentrate on doing lots of practice for your IELTS and start gathering all the documents you'll need for your skills assessment and visa application. September will be here in no time and you'll want to make sure you get the results you need so practice, practice, practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmilBees Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Great thanks guys, I soon found that the booking of the IELTS isn't as straight forward as I thought! Why haven't I learnt this yet lol! So am in the process of downloading and completing my application form. Maybe Ashlen you can help on a question I just asked. I think I have the answer after reading the FAQs and candidate booklet. But is the organisation the Australian department of immigration and border protection? And the test needed the General training one? Good luck on getting your results by the way. I will start practising and researching questions tomorrow when my oldest is in nursery. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashlenelouise Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 You have to do the academic ... Have a browse through this http://www.anmac.org.au/faqs I found this helped me a lot especially in gathering my information - lots of useful info on this I printed a copy out and tick off when I have completed a section hope it helps xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats when we're aiming to go too! how far along the process are you? I have sent off for my application of verification of registration to the NMC, Today I have downloaded and started the process for IELTS hoping to do the 20/09/14 one. Now im just going to practice for the test and start gathering bits for the skills assessment. Ashen I had read the FAQs on ANMAC but because I couldn't see them on the list of organisations I didnt think to go back there, thank you again for your help xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashlenelouise Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 No problem .. I also requested my verification today .. It says can take 7-10 days to be posted to me how long did it take your to arrive immilbeeS Hopefully it will arrive soon so I can go ahead with the anmac skills assessment, I have collected all the rest of the evidence just need them all certifying - so so much to dooooo , and if your having an anmac skills assessment it's definitely academic xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmilBees Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I sent off for it on Thursday or Friday of last week, so I'll let you know when it arrives. I did start to get all my evidence together using the ANMAC FAQs then it said once skills ax completed you get an email of the evidence required, so I thought i'll sort everything else first, but think i'll carry on collecting evidence. Only thing I can't get is references as I haven't told my employers yet what i'm planning. I'm on mat leave so waiting for my return to work meeting to discuss my plans.

I'm glad 5 is enough, that's good for you. So you're almost at visa application stage? I have contacted my uni for a copy of my transcript, I can't complete skills assessment until my IELTS is done, but i'm going to start gathering the information needed, were you charged to get P60 info?

Ashlenelouise Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Which but do we need p60s for? The actual visa assessment or anmac? Xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jac2011 Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 I have been at a standstill for years, so things are getting closer but still a good 12-14 months away... I am also sitting IELTS on the 20th so lets hope we both pass first time round. I need to do academic and will be needing 20 points, so level 8 for me :-( I will hopefully be getting my ID certified around September too and my transcript for Uni. I am going to apply for AHPRA in Sept and ANMAC in December. Seems so scary now those dates are getting closer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonM Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 The standstill and the waiting only gets worse, good job i have no hair or i would have pulled it all out by now. i keep getting told good things come tho those who wait and all that rubbish but i swear i will £$%*&&&. Anyway the weekly waiting rant over until next week. People deal with it differently me.... i hate it ... I am the sort of person once their mind is made up and settled on that idea i seem to be living a half life or a fake sort of life as no one can know at the moment as i run my own company and it could effect the sale / price if it gets out too early. Good this whole process is driving me really nutz i can feel the rants building again:) Okay back in the room...... just a thought does the medical test for state of mental health Hope your waiting experience is better than mine or if your really lucky and have the will of what ever god you pray to on your side it could be like Gareth ( Lucky Git) as i now know him as.......

ImmilBees Posted July 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 I need to do the academic one too, what test center are you doing it at? I know there's loads, but major coincidence if it's the same one, I'm going to canterbury. I am going to do my skills assessment as soon as I have IELTS passed, so I'm working on gathering evidence for now, I have my uni transcript, and am still waiting for NMC to send me the application for verification of registration. (I got an email 4 days ago saying it was in the post!), I haven't told work yet so can't get references just yet. ANMAC email you with the rest of the details they need. I am going to phone a few solicitors tomorrow to get an idea how much it will cost for them to sign and verify everything. Then I am going to apply to AHPRA, though i'm not holding out much hope for them at the moment as I am diploma trained, so i'll probably work as a care assistant and see about a bridging course. JasonM what work are you in? It's hard having to keep quiet, I haven't told my friend of over 20yrs what we are planning, as she is married to a colleague of my husband, and we can't risk his work finding out before we are ready.
