Tiawamutu

Mrs JFW

Angela...you have a 3 eyed cat again.....when did you get your visa??????

Tiawamutu

I didn't get the visa....annqld started picking on me saying it was crap so I changed it back

You will know when I get the visa! :scared:

Mrs JFW

It must be on its way to you soon Angela....anyone else on your timeline heard anything? I like your 3 eyed cat anyway!

Tiawamutu

There are quite a few Novemberites that have received their's already, so here's hoping

How's everything going with you?

Mrs JFW

I'm at a standstill angela, got stuff for the visa ready to go off, but still no skills assessment back yet, its been over 5 weeks now, they must be on a go slow right now. I'm assuming if there was any problem they would have emailed me. Flippin 'eck you need the patience of a saint going through this immigration process dontcha!! Hope you hear something soon Angela. you must be next in line surely!

Tiawamutu

Fingers crossed for both of us

Mrs JFW

yeah..and everything else too.

hi you mentioned with being a nurse you did the application yourself, is it complicated( we have a 15 year old stepson who will be coming if he can peel himself of the setee) or is it better for an agent to do it because of this.

Mrs JFW

Hi Lisa, I think if your situation is straightforward (ie stepson's mother is in agreement with the move) then I would say you could do it independently. The forms for nursing skills/visa are quite straight forward, its just all the documentation you have to get together. It really depends on you and your peace of mind whether you opt for an agent or not. I thought it was easy enough to do myself with all the help I get from people on this site, but having said that I have not got my visa yet!

Just wondering if you had e-mailed them. There was a bit of a mix up when they were doing mine and I think myskill assessment got mislaid for a few months. I was waiting patiently for it to come through and in the end after my husband constantly nagging me to e-mail them I got in touch and they said they didn't have my application. They then found it and it all got whizzed through super quick and apologised for the mix up.

Its hard to know when to be patient cos they are busy or when to start worrying that there has been some problem.

Mrs JFW

What a nightmare for you. Now you have got me thinking....

I did actually email them a couple of weeks ago and they said it was still being processed and to allow at least 10 days for mail. Well its well over 10 days now. I think if I haven't heard anything by the end of next week I will email them again. Some of the peeps that sent theres at the end of feb are getting theres now and I sent mine beginning of March so hopefully it will be soon. pleeeeeeeeeeze!

Fingers crossed. I dont want to get you worried but like i said before its hard to know whether to just be patient or to give them a bit of hassle.

Although it was a nightmare at the time and it meant we couldn't then apply for our visa cos we had moved, and with the extra time they took I then diidn't have enough recent work experience, when the visa application went off it was plain sailing and came through fine
