Hey Everyone! Admin here, It's a bit overdue but I will be migrating our forum site to a new platform for better security. I will take out all the ads as well as these pesky spammers. Please expect a bit of issues here and there, and will slowly move the features to the new one. Don't worry we are very much alive and will be alive as long as I'm here :)

@kaloidq it depends if the reference letters used for skills assessment comply with immigration requirements.
For our clients we assist from start to finish, we most often use the same only because from the skills assessment application pa lan…
@Cassey I’m not sure if I understand the actual situation. If the issue is just the passport, the case officer can just be updated about it during the application submission.
@chuc_ unfortunately there is no assurance at this stage as to which state/Territory would be open for sponsorship and what the requirements will be by the time you’re ready to lodge your EOI. You can’t simply fixate yourself to a particular Visa no…
@iska03 your query should be best addressed to ACS directly as they are the only one who could really shed light to your question and be able to guide you properly. They are usually prompt with responding to queries so why don’t you liaise with them…
@rl0821 refer to the agent fees as per MARA website
https://www.mara.gov.au/using-an-agent/working-with-your-agent/agent-fees/
If the fees quoted to you is beyond the range as indicated then you could rightfully claim you are being ripped …
@helaena first thing the case officer will ask is evidence if previous relationship has ended. Yours isn’t a straight forward case. Be very careful with the supporting documents you’ll be providing. Good luck!
@Cassey @dy3p @JB26 exactly right! Best link to start with for individuals doing their own research would be the government website. Like I mentioned, for nurses educated in the Philippines, AHPRA is the first step. ANMAC will only consider applican…
Unfortunately, it’s not straightforward for nurses from the Philippines compared to those from the UK, Canada, US and the like. You need to do bridging Visa first at the very least then register for AHPRA before you deal with ANMAC nor even start ap…
@kenroy @wanderer that’s correct. I am responding to the concern issued wherein kenroy was concern that he’ll be in trouble for not disclosing a certain employment. It doesn’t really matter how much tenure you had with the undisclosed employment.
…
@wanderer @kenroy you decide what employment you want to claim. No one will ever reprimand you for not disclosing any employment. There is also no ruling as to the minimum tenure in unclaimed employment.
@divergent there is no right or wrong decision. All these is very individual. I myself am just not a fan of student visa pathway based on both my personal and professional experience/knowledge. I just believe it isn’t the best way to get to Australi…
@divergent @maguero not only that, a lot of things can happen within 2 years. Highly likely by the time you’ve satisfied the 2 year study requirement, rules would have changed by then. It’s possible you’d miss out on your chances. I nearly missed mi…
@divergent just be mindful that student Visa is a long and expensive pathway with no guarantee of success especially these days. A lot of overseas students get stuck and at times dead end for them. Been there done that, mine is one of those successf…
@ga2au not really as my client is fully aware of the timeline from the beginning and VETASSESS is usually spot on with their timeline. Why don’t you ask them directly?
Honestly, if you’re only after a student visa, you don’t need an agent. It’s very straightforward process. Save your money. I’m an agent myself as well as went to Australia in the early 2000 on a student Visa. Would I recommend tstudent pathway to g…
@Bjane safe is to check with TRA. I can’t provide an accurate advice via information being provided on this forum. Yours is very detailed and since I’m not involved with your case, I don’t want to say anything that may mislead you. I would suggest t…
@Bjane personally, I won’t accept such from my clients as it defeats the purpose. You can always double check with TRA, explain the circumstance and probably they can suggest an alternative. Good luck.
@yuki_00 the case officer won’t be in touch until after a few months to issue you s56 letter which is a checklist of documents you need to provide and you will be given 28 days to provide the documents being requested, that includes the medical clea…
@Bjane to be sure, the safest is to ask TRA directly of any questions regarding their instructions. They’ll be happy to help. In that way, first hand information ang makukuha mo and if mapamali ka based on the info you’ve gathered from them, you can…
