Migration assessment
Hello!
Could somebody assess my immigration chances to Australia?
Age 32
Profession: going to be an ophthalmologist in fall (this is currently on MODL)
Work experience only during the specialisation training
Married, my spouse will not earn additional points currently because she is studying,
Native German speaker
Good English language skills
No relatives in Australia
My specialisation training in ophthalmology has taken 5 years, does that count as recent work experience, or do I need to be an employed ophthalmologist for one year before being eligible for lodging my application?
Is this a straight forward application, or will I need a migration agent?
Thanks

This specific question is a grey area. More important is whether your qualification will meet the skill assessment requirement (I believe ophthalmologist is within the medical practitioner group).
Read the information on the DIMIA website about medical practitioner migration. Also look at form 1062i although last time I checked it did not reflect the Sept 2004 addition of medical pracititioners to the SOL and MODL.

What I would suggest you do is get at least 2 agents to do a 'free' assesment. Most agents offer this as an initial service so you (and they) know if you stand a chance before any serious work or money passes hands.
Should they feel you have a serious chance, some also then offer a more detailed assesment for a small fee, about AU$200 to give you more detailed feedback. The immigration process is very lengthly and can be complicated (depending on your case) and requires some dedication, hard-work and patience, best to know your chances up front.
Some advice is that you should always deal with agents who are members of MIA (Migration Institute of Australia). This institue requires members to pass a very strict course and exams on Australian immigration and aslo maintain their knowledge on the ever changing legislation. They are also there should you need to report and dodgy agents! http://www.mia.org.au/
All the best.
