Hi Guys As you all know I am a RN Level 2 nurse doing all the usual things ivs cannulation etc and as you know i got my visa application back saying invalid cos ANC do not assess level2 nurses from the UK, however tried a little investigating and a nursing agency in Oz say they do arrange sponsoring for my level of nurse, but ther is an upper age limit of 45 on the 4year business type visa does anyone know if this is accurate as I was told there was not Help guys I need info on this and thanks

Why don't you ask immigration questions on the Australia immigration forum? - more chance of a sensible answer that way.

Bottom line is that you've been told wrong, there's no age limit for a 4 year visa but you don't really want to move to Australia on a temporary visa, do you? (unless you want to have to go home again - this happens to many on temporary visas).

The right solution *might* be the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme, as already pointed out to you. There is an age limit of 45, but it can be waived. You would do yourself a favour if you hired a competent migration agent to check this out in more detail, as it could well be a complex case.

One of the challenges will be how 'enrolled nurse' fits into the Australian skill categories. Not a do-it-yourself job.

Thank you I will of course be enlisting the services of the experts (migration agents) I am trying to get a sponsor for the RSMS visa then I will talk to the M.Agents to see how is my beast option and I know DIMIA will waive one exception as I have read endlessly the books from thier website But thank you for your time and reply.

Thanks Sue, My head is whizzing with all this visa stuff I am trying different routes like RSMS and maybe sponsorship partner is actually better position than me I think as he is (dare I say it YOUNGER) you know I am the dreaded 45 well he is 43 doesnt seem much difference but it is for this, only prob he is a sparky BUT has no formal training learned on the job fat lot use that is to us now keep fingers crossed that maybe one day DIMIA will reconigize RN level 2 or I get this conversion sorted out. Good Luck Sue keep us posted on your quest :scared:

If he's a tradesman then he may be able to get a TRA assessment based on hiw training and not formal qualifications - but I have to say you are unlikely to succeed in achieving this without professional assistance (TRA assessments are not easy). Even if he gets a TRA assessment he's got to pass the points test, although there's always the possibility of STNI if electrician is on the skill shortage lists for South Australia, Victoria or Tasmania. You need to check that out.

And finally there is the SIR visa as a possible (probably sponsored by South Australia), if STNI doesn't work out.

On the basis of what you've posted so far, your chances of wading through all these options on your own and getting a successful outcome are not high - you need a top-class migration agent working on your case straight away.

THANKS for the reply we would of course get THE EXPERTS to assist us but the ? is what if he gets a sucessful TRA and passes the points test What would our chances be of getting a PR visa? good or maybe we are now looking at the Go Matilda site we are not too informed on these matters so we will give it our best he really does have a lot of experience but cos of no formal documents so to speak we never thought of him applying as main applicant . Once again thanks (the glass could now be half full as opposed to half empty)
