Lisa received training and worked as registered nurses overseas for a number of years prior to arriving in Australia with the intent to settle here permanently.
They were not able to obtain their un-restricted registration immediately upon arrival, so they decided to enrol and pursue further studies in an undergraduate nursing course at one of the universities in Canberra.
They were given exemptions for a number of subjects for their prior studies undertaken overseas so the 3-year course turned into a 2-year course. For the following 2 years, they studied diligently to keep up with the demanding course and worked hard to financially support themselves working as nursing assistants in nursing home facilities in the ACT.
Their disciplined approaches to their studies ultimately paid off. Lisa had no difficulties finishing their studies within the designated period and graduated from their courses with Australian qualifications after 2 years.
Lisa had to prepare very nervously for their OET tests and they were fully aware of the amount of pressure being placed upon their shoulders given that they also had their families with them in Canberra.
They both had two more attempts in which they did not succeed. The cycle of hope and disappointment for those few months was draining and a painful experience for all involved in the process including their respective family members.
Obviously, Lisa were subject to a great deal of stress and anxiety. On the third attempt, they finally achieved a score of B across all test components from all 3 tests undertaken.
Having approached Migration agent for advice, he was able to assure them that they would satisfy the stringent English language proficiency requirements of NMBA and ANMAC.
Based on Migration agent’s calculations, they were on 55 points under the Skilled Migration Points System which clearly fell short of the pass mark i.e. minimum 60 points to receive an invitation from SkillSelect.
It appeared to Migration agent that 5 more points for State or Territory government nomination might be enough just to get Lisa over the line to receive an invitation considering that they had lived and worked in Canberra for all those years.
Migration agent promptly assisted Lisa in applying for registration with NMBA and subsequently applying for a skilled assessment through ANMAC which were successful.
Migration agent then submitted EOIs on behalf of Lisa and then seamlessly assisted Lisa to prepare the ACT nomination application. In less than 2 months, Migration agent received news that the ACT nomination was successful in each instance and Lisa received invitations.
Migration agent wasted no time in submitting his client’s application for a Subclass 190 visa which was ultimately approved in 2 months from the date of lodgement.
