Dear Sir/Madam
Iam an Occupational Therapist from Mumbai,India,
Graduated in January 2004. Iam interested in pursuing a career in
Australia. I have got my qualificationsa assessed from the
Relevant board with a positive response. I am planning to apply for
visa in the general migration category and have a few queries about
The same.
1. For the final registration I require to do a training program of 6
Months in Australia. Are part time jobs available during this time?
2. Does the passing the point test can confirm the success of the visa? What are the success rates?
3. How much time does visa processing usually take?
4. The health certificate for immigration requires some forms to be
Filled. I didn't get the forms online and also I gathered that the
Forms will be provided by the migration staff during the process of
The visa. Can u help me out?

Thanks for the help.
Regards
Pooja

For your question #1. It depends on what type of Visa you have if it allows you to work then you may do so. #2. If you passed the test and other requirements then your visa may be just waiting for approval. #3. The processing times can be as short as two months and as long as nine months depending on a lot of factors such as the type of visa and the unique predicament of every applicant. The country from where the application is lodged or from where the applicant is a citizen of, will also affect processing times. It is a case to case basis.Professional migration visa consulanting lawyers for Australian migration can give you a more specific time frame once they have assessed your case.
