Immigration News – English Language Testing Changes for Nursing Students

Picture
International students wanting to migrate to Australia as a Nurse must first obtain their Migration Skills Assessment from the The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC). Accordingly, in addition to requirements relating to the studies undertaken by a student, applicants must also satisfy English language requirements in order to be issued a migration skills assessment. 

Importantly, from 1  July 2016 ANMAC will now accept an expanded list of suitable language tests including IELTS (Academic), OET, PTE (Academic) (NEW) and TOEFL iBT (NEW). This will hopefully make things easier for applicants who have previously struggled to pass the requirements set by IELTS and OET, being the two tests that were accepted prior to 1 July 2016.

For more information see here.  

If you are an international nursing Student and require the assistance of a Immigration Lawyer in the Brisbane CBD today, then feel free to contact us on 1300 MIGR8TE (644 788) or email your enquiry to enquiry@salvomigration.com.au.

The Parent Visa Loophole – With Video Explanation!

Picture
ATTENTION Parents of Australian Citizens and Permanent Residents – this blog will explain to you what we here at Salvo Migration have coined, ‘the Parent Visa Loophole‘ (PLH).

As the above diagram explains, the PLH is a process by which parents of Australian Citizens and permanent residents first enter Australia on a Visitor/Tourist visa, and as long as they are above the age of 65, they then apply for an Aged Parent (Subclass 804) from inside Australia.

In doing so, applicants are granted a ‘Bridging Visa’ which allows them to stay in Australia until a decision is made on the Aged Parent visa. Given that these visas currently have a processing time in excess of 30+ years, this ‘loophole’ essentially allows parents to remain in Australia with their family indefinitely. 

However, the main benefit is that this approach avoids the need for parents to pay the exorbitant 2nd Visa Application Charges associated to ‘Contributory’ Parent visa pathways, currently set at $43600 per adult applicant! For example, a husband and wife who apply for a Contributory Parent visa will be subject to $87200 in 2nd Visa Application Charges, not including the initial Visa Application Charges associated to the visa. So it is not hard to see why the PLH is a great option for those who are eligible.

Accordingly, your eligibility for this loophole is completely dependent on you meeting the following crtieria:

1. You must still meet the balance of family test
2. The main applicant must be above the age of 65
3. You must not have a No Further Stay condition imposed on their visa
4. You must satisfy all other Aged Parent visa criteria

Please see the video below for further explanation.

We are happy to say that we have successfully applied this process for many of our clients, who will now enjoy the freedom to stay in Australia with their loved ones at a fraction of the cost of alternative options.

Accordingly, ​if this pathway seems appealing to you and your family, please get in contact with us today on 1300 MIGR8TE (644 788) or email your enquiry to enquiry@salvomigration.com.au.
