So now the next step is the EOI ?

Do the 72 days include the advisory service ?

Do you have information how long it takes to receive the VISA from the DIBP after the nomination? I found different statements about the processing times.

Cheers,

No, 72 days for assessment only. I have applied for Vic SS. As i have applied as a PhD graduate, according to website, it should process within 2 weeks as supposed to others where the time is 12 weeks. If i get an invitation from Vic then they will ask me to apply for visa and that might take somewhere around 3 months.

Hi, thanks for your sharing. I was wondering if VETASSESS only recognises phd degree with at least one year post qualification experience. I just received my phd degree in chemistry a few months and worked as a researcher with less than one year. I am also considering applying for Victoria nomination.
Would my phd not be counted? Shall I wait to assess after i have at least one year experience after obtaining phd degree? Thanks.

Good luck

As far as i know.. it would be tough if its not taxable. You can look into expatforum to double chexk with other people. Good luck
