Nwokenna:
I believe seeing is believing, tell us how it goes when you come in without it.

aduktus: @ walker0809
Dont be confused. I would have suggested you finish with your M.Sc and then proceed to PhD. You may even be lucky to get scholarship if you work on journal publications. Keep moving up!

FutureDon:

Great piece of advice, well done.

You know it takes a determined mind to pursue a PhD. Also, one shouldn't pursue a PhD because of how much some experienced professors earn (not usually much I guess) as it takes a lot of hard work to climb the ladder of academia. Unsurprisingly, some people will prefer going for another MSc instead of a doctoral degree.

Walker0809, go for the TAFE if that's what your heart desires. I believe the admission application process is similar to the process that landed you a MSc offer in Germany.

Walker0809:

Haha, could my advisor be abnormal to have had his PhD in Germany? Broda, you funny well well

UBKtech:
YES, by including them DIBP considers that they may come to join you later. Therefore, they need to pass the health and character requirements as well

bellong:
Thank you.
Guess its better not to fill that part for now.....
Gracias

bossladyMo:

You have to list all your family members now...cos when you want to file for them to come over, you might encounter a bit of trouble, as they were not originally listed.....u get? Don't think they will have to do medicals now sha, as they are not migrating with you, so it will be a waste. If at any point in time you would like to change their status to migrating, then they will have to do medicals and pcc.

prechear: Na wao o. Make una answer me na! I have been asking who have experience or knows someone tht has done medicals for PR and how long it took for Visa to come out; nobody answer me. I did my medicals since May and am yet to be contacted. Pls any ideas...I beg. Biko...

bellong:

There is no specific time frame but the waiting period now is about 3 months. The process is faster depending on the subclass, seems 190 is faster than 189.

Keep waiting and you will get the positive mail you have been waiting for.

Between, were the non-migrating family members requested to do medical test at the time of your application?

prechear:
@Bellong
Tnx. The Non-migrating family members were not requested to do medicals. Its only me, the principal applicant, tht was asked to do medicals. Mine is subclass 189. Pls the 3 months you mentioned; is from the date of medicals or from the date of application?

bellong:

According to DIBP and some people I know who got theirs, it is from the date of application.

I am not sure for subclass 189, I think it takes longer. Not too sure though.

Thank you for answering my question.

prechear:
@bellong
Tnx once again.
I will keep waiting and hoping for that GOLDEN email. Are u an Aussie hopeful or u are already there? We can inbox one another, if u don't mind.

bellong:

The question I asked initially was whether they will be required to do the medicals now to which UBKtech responded in the affirmative. Are you sure the medicals will not be required now until they are migrating?

UBKtech has passed through this stage and he said it is required now. Need to be sure before filling the form.

Thank you

bossladyMo: .

Good to see another recent pr applicant. I heard that Naija medicals are usually reffered, and referred medicals take at least 45days. Dont worry, it will come in soon. Pls share your timeline, for us future applicants I.e when you got invited, when you got a co, and when the co asked you to go do medicals.

prechear: @BossLady MONTH
One more thing; u said tht Naija medicals are usually reffered and it takes 45days. Pls what do u mean by 'REFFERED'. Pls throw more light and d 45days

bossladyMo: Your timeline is still pretty much on track, nothing out of the ordinary...so nothing to fear. I prefer when the co asks to go do medicals, than frontloading medicals...that way you can track your application, and know if all is going well. Give it till the end of this month, max end of next month.

What is your nom occupation? Mine is 234111...

bossladyMo: I dont have access to the email linked to this acct for now, you will have to give me a bit...

bossladyMo: Don't think that will go down well with Hubby, lol.

I'm always on this forum, so I'm pretty much accessible
