chalkyhill Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I think it depends on your occupation. Our application took 4 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest geordielassinspain Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hi I'm using the same company as you and also going to melbourne. My forms went in last week, let me know how you get on too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ScotsMcW Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hi - with regards to the IELTS test, as a midwife and I guess the same applies to nurses, I was told you need to get minimums of 7's in each section to pass. Hope that helps. I found the Test Revision Book which I bought from IELTS really helped me prepare for mine, which I was lucky enough to pass well first time - you'll get there for sure! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mark&robyn Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Hey, Already in QLD, Sunshine Coast but on tourist visa. The wait is awful, as plenty of people know! It feels like the day will never come! Where are you headed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest simondbsmith Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 If i can give you any advice, dont use an agent its a total waste of money!! Its so easy to do your own 457 and you save a fortune. Just make sure you have everything inplace like health, supporting docs etc and it wont take long. Got ours in 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
