Case Summary

An onshore registered nurse seeking permanent residency through the Subclass 189 Skilled Independent pathway received her visa within three months, with no request for further information, through careful skills assessment preparation and well-timed EOI submission.

Background

The applicant, a registered nurse living and working in Australia, sought permanent residency through the Subclass 189 Skilled Independent pathway. While nursing is classified as a priority processing occupation, a successful outcome still required ensuring completeness and accuracy across key audit areas — including skills assessment documentation and precise work experience calculation.

Work experience needed to be calculated precisely, as errors in eligible hours or employment periods could affect the claimed points
EOI timing needed to be optimised to align with active invitation rounds for nursing occupations
