It's started !
Hi fellow nurses,
You may think I'm daft, but I don't care.The police have cashed my cheque for my Subject Access !!!! This means my journey to Oz has begun and that means I am excited - so just wanted to tell someone who understands.

More importantly - will I get a badge from the NVC - never got one here as institutions too tight !!
Going on an employer sponsored visa - yes,I know that there are restrictions but I will apply for PR asap - so as soon as I get my registration I will have my midnight phone interview - really looking forward to that!

The money ?? yep ... funding a good knees up !
Timescales for reg & badge?? Well ... it's different for each state ... Queensland only took three weeks from posting to receiving, but NBSA takes longer ...
If you've interviews lined up already, then you'll be over 'well quick' !

Talked enough for now about myself - as long as I haven't murdered anyone and forgot then I'll post a message again soon.
How are you all getting on with your applications, and what sort of nursing do you do? I'm a RMN (there I go again - sorry). Just interested, not nosy - (ok, maybe I am!)

If you've read front loaded application for Oz on the nurses forum ,it'll pretty much tell you all about all of us still floating about here waiting for DIMIA news. Not much has been happening lately and now I think everybody has gone on Holiday so there's not much chat either !
Know how excited you must be feeling just now , it eventually turns into a continus nausea feeling .
We applied to NSW board and registration was just a formality as we had skills assessment done by ANC first. They were very quick and have sent lovely certificate and a P.I.N card but no badge - they were an extra $15 each.Queensland send you badges for nothing !
I wish you "all the best" with your application and in view of what appears to be happening at DIMIA just now , you're probably taking the right choice with state sponsered visa.
Keep posting , regards ,Tass.

Re: It's started ! Update
Hi fellow upside-down nurses,
Just thought I would send another post - this employer sponsorship thing is going so quick - phoned up yesterday for my medicals and got an appointment for next week ! thought it would take weeks to get one. Now I can front-load my Visa. How long do they take to come back?
Tass, having read other threads, I think I have been well-advised to go for ENS. Sorry you are all waiting....so much for nurses being fast-tracked on all visas eh?
Excited Cas

Re: It's started !
Thought I would post an update - bet you thought that I was a mass murderer and had forgotten- well still not sure about that as police check not cme back yet though. Having said that the postman may well be the first to go - also waitng for my registration - got an email from my case person at the recruitment agency (remember I am going on a 457) whotold me that process is going slow+++ as there has been an influx of applicants from non-English speaking countries due to a change in legislation. 
One bit of (very) good news is that I am pretty sure of a sale of my house - bloke came (2nd day that it was up for sale), loved it, no chain, wants furniture and appliances AND said I could rent it as he doesn't want to move until after Christmas - but want the sale to go ahead asap !!!!!!!!!! He said his decision would be based on what council tax I pay (he has just got his first teaching post) - didn't know at the time - but since found out I am band A (live in the back of beyond with few amenites). Hopefully he won't have changed his mind before tomorrow - damn the bank holiday - even if it is more pay for us nurses.
Bloody hell that was a long message - hope you haven't fallen into a stupor - unless it is a drunken one
Bye for now, Caroline

That together with the news re length of time for processing registration - just found out that instead of a possible 21 days it could take 12 weeks (those applying please take note!) - means I haven't had such a good week.
Oh well, think the booze should come out anyway when I get home from work - if I cannot celebrate then the best option is to drown the sorrows
