Hi!
British Expats to the rescue I hope, I'm a bit stuck here!
Hope
someone can answer this question for me please,
I am just about to send
away for my skills assessment to the ANC, I'm a midwife and applying for
the modified assessment as I am already registered in NSW.
I am
required to have verification of my UK and NSW registration sent to the
ANC and also to the DIMIA. I have written letters asking for
verification of nurse registration to be sent out at the same time to
both the ANC and DIMIA.
Is this ok to do? As the skills assessment has
to be sent along with my visa application, DIMIA will not have recieved
my visa application at this time but will have verification of my
professional registration. Do the DIMIA hold these documents on file
until a visa application has been lodged?

thanks a million to anyone
who replies.

Hi Carol,

DIMIA is a massive bureaucracy which receives hundreds of thousands of
messages every week and you should not have anything sent to them without a
file number, meaning you should apply for your visa first using the skills
assessment before having anything sent there (and only after getting a file
number).

Cheers

HI

Have Dimia specifically requested verification? I only asked for
mine to be sent to anc and it got there before my application. This did
not seem to cause any problems with anc as they did receive it and keep
it until my application arrived. I did however email them to let them
know it was on it's way. Hope this is of some use to you.
