I,ve heard about front loading being a waste of time because of the length of time visa,s take to go through the system,but is it possible and worth getting your police check,s and medical,s say six month,s into waiting for your visa ? Also any other tip,s worth concidering while waiting ?

I did it but still ended up having to do them again at the end because it took 2 years, so I'd reckon wait until they ask for them.

As for tips while waiting, I pretty much forgot about it while it was going through, so it was a nice surprise to hear at last,
I did have a lot going on though starting up plumbing business (busy,busy,busy), met love of my life, new baby daughter, renovating and moving into our home, phew, I just realised why I didnt think about the application much!!
Good luck, (you just need a lot of patience)

Got the required result in the end though, which, at the end of the day is all that matters.
Gives some time to save, prepare, etc. its pointless getting stressed by a process that can be lengthy in time, I dont think theres a lot you can do to make it go any faster,
I didnt mean to depress you, mate,
Youll get there,

What is stni ?

stni is State Nomination
only worth considering if you want to go to SA, Victoria, or Tasmania - as these are the only states doing it!
