It is impossible to say on the time scale you are considering. The entire visa system has been changing massively and a lot more changes are expected.

Yes, you will need to do them again. Wait until they are asked for. Normally, when they are asked for, it is a good sign the process is near the end.

On shore is taking 2 to 3 years. Offshore 3 to 6 months.

On shore or off shore?

If you try again now, you should be able to send a pm.

Is don't know. One of the most amazing nights of my life was in the Bay Hotel at Roins Hoods Bay at a high tide in a sever storm. The waves were coming well over the roof and I sat in the bar watching everything from starfish to pebbles swirling around me through the windows. Pretty amazing.

I would contact George Lombard who is a specialist agent that specialises in medical issues. But the cost of the treatment in India is irrelevant

We returned to the UK in March 2016 - can't believe we have been back now over 2 years! We had spent eight years in Australia, starting in Sydney then Mandurh WA. We were overall very happy in WA, but the downturn caused big issues with me finding work, then all of a sudden I was offered a job back in the UK and we decided to go for it. It was the maddest week of our lives as we went from making the decision on a Tuesday night to me flying the Saturday! My wife had to wait behind for a week with the dog until he was able to fly which she spent is a pretty much empty house as we spent the week before I flew selling everything and shipped a small movecube of personal things. The keys to the house were left with the estate agent which eventually sold a few months later, but at a big loss Getting back was very "odd" as we had nothing. We arrived at Heathrow with a suitcase each and most of that was stuff for the dog such as his bed. We now live in a small cottage in a tiny village in central Scotland which we adore. We are surrounded by stunning countywide including an incident woodland with a stunning waterfall. We have our ups and downs the same as everyone, but we are very glad to be back. We were discussing it the other day and my wife put it like this. She was happy in Oz, but didn't feel "complete". Like there was something missing, but now she doesn't feel that anymore. There are things and people we miss. I know my wife misses walking the dog on the beach, but, she loves the countryside and open fields - the right to roam is fantastic. So, overall we are very happy with the move.

No two people are going to be exactly the same when it comes to medical issues for visas. I would advise you strongly to seek advice from a specialist migration agent such as George Lombard who specialises in visas with medical issues.

It isn't relevant. I have seen people gon10 days and get an email from co to two years to a rejection.

No one regardless of occupation is being invited for a 189 on less than 70 points

That isn't the list that applies. States produce their own lists and conditions. It is fairly common for states to require job offers to get state sponsorship.

Is there a caveat against your occupation on the state list stating you have to have a job offer?

I think it is inevitable the process for all visas is going to change significantly and a number of visas abolished. There is already a review taking place that the government wants to see the number of visa categories being cut from the hundreds to about ten. If you are shocked at the Aos changes, you should see some of the things that have happened. For example a couple of years ago, there was a skilled visa group known as Cat 5. These were skilled visas with low priority processing. Many of the applicants were living in Australia for a lot of years on bridging visas. Then without warning, the minister cancelled them retrospectively. Applicants were given 28 days to leave the country. The icing on the cake. They could get a refund on the visa fee if they still had the original paper receipt.

You need to be consulting your professional advisors on this. It is always HIGHLY recommended that in the case of parent visas a range of professional advice is sought including migration agents and independent financial advisors familiar with migration.

Why are you doing the PTE academic?

If you are only planning on going for two years, it is unlikely to justify the costs. The visa costs are a drop in the ocean of migrating.

And if the occupation is removed from the list in the mean time? Over 200 occupations were removed last year. I suspect more major culls in the near future. At the same time, while there is a shortage for early years teachers, there is a major surplus of primary teachers. It doesn't take a lot of thought to see where that may go.

No and no. But, be aware of the date of your expiry date. I think you may be misunderstanding it.

Whenever there is a medical issue with visas you should speak to a specialist agent. George Lombard is an agent that specializes in this

In ordered to get the visa granted you do not need to pass a skills assessment. Only have it verified eg with supporting evidence, such as payslips qualifiactions etc by a governing body (TRA) etc That is a skills assessment https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/visa-1/190-#tab-content-1

You still must have a passed skills assessment.

If you look at the skilled occupation list on border.gov.au it will state who is the assessing body is for your occupation. You apply for a skills assessment through these prior to a visa application.

You need a skills assessment and you need to boost points as submitting with 60 is pointless

The medical is because there is a long bridging visa. You will technically have to do another in about 55 years time.
