Let her just stick with the 4-5yrs experience. State nomination does not care if you have 55 or 85...as long as you meet the minimum score of 55. Also, for that corporate services manager, she will need an average of 7 in each band, to meet SA nominstion requirements...........well, she already needs 7 to get a 10 anyways.

It's really dangerous claiming points for work experience that you can't support with adequate documentation.

Does she have tax documents?
The cheques she is paid with, does it carry her name or yours?
Does she have payslips?

She needs to have at least 2 out of the above 3. Cos if the CO is not convinced, you could lose your application and fee....and for a family of 5, we are looking at about 8k dollars or so.

If she does not have enough evidence to back it up, you guys can go for the 489 visa. It's a provisional visa that leads to PR after spending 2yrs in a regional area, and working for 1 yr. It gives you 10 pts extra, and will bring her points score to 60. Although, you won't be entitled to medicare and childcare benefits, until you are a PR. It follows the same procedure as 189 and 190.

bossladyMo:


Getting nominated isn't hard at all...I got nominated in 4days by QLD. 189 gives you more flexibility on where to stay in Aus, but 190 is faster. I also got a positive assessment with a Nigerian BSc.

Once you have a positive assessment, and have proper documentation to back up your points claims, and no medical condition, you are guaranteed.

How many years work exp are you claiming?

Hope you have payslips/bank statements showing deposits and/or tax documents, if claiming work exp points?

dailydolar:
well for the cheques mostly in my name or my company name but for pay slip that should not be a problem d main problem is d tax certificate cos am not sure if they pay tax in dat place ooooo except because of this now i will talk to d boss to c how dey can get an accountant to get only her own tax certificate and d money will come from my pocket or we go for the 489(what shd be d first thing shd we go for assessment now or what) or do i need to check for the sponsors first cos i want her to write the IELTS around November

bjayzeez:
I believe I have the docs, I will use the same ones I used for the skills assessment. They only assessed the most recent employment, that is less than 5 years, so I might use just that. I started this employment in 2011.....and of course my qualifications. I also have an advisory letter from vetasses....dunno if that helps

I prefer the faster tho. .... and I will just choose to get nomination from western, which is where I wanna go... You get me?

I will read up, and think about it more and more.... then choose one. Which do you advice tho.

bossladyMo:


Me I'm always up for getting out of Naija asap...lol. But it's your choice really.

Once again, ensure you have tax returns documebts and/or bank statements showing salary deposits, alongside your payslips...for work experience.

Do you mean points test advice?

bjayzeez:
well my employer sorts that one out, it shows in my payslips, then, yea, I have bank statements showing deposit too.... does that mean i will submit bank statement, cos a couple of posts ago, someone mentioned that no need to submit bank statement, Just funds declaration. Ive heard that a couple of times

points test advise, yea... that they submit it to the embassy or sumthin like that

bossladyMo:

The bank statements are not for evidence of funds, but they are meant to show salary deposits from your employer, if you are claiming work exp points. They don't care if you have only 1naira as your bank balance. All you do is just print out your 3yrs worth of bank statements, and highlight salary deposits with a highlighter, so CO does not have to go through each transaction...then upload.

For state nomination, soms statss just need a declaration, while some require evidence of funds. I had to show evidence of funds fod QLD, but WA does not need evidence of funds, just declaration.

The points test advice is mainly useful when you are claiming points for work exp gotten more than 5yrs ago...mbut you can still upload it all the same, doesn't hurt.

bjayzeez:
Ah, I see

I will decide which one before the end of the day, (189 or 190) and I will keep you posted.

Pls, people that have done medicals. Does one have to go to St Nicholas for the x-ray seperately, or do they conduct both kinds.

Cos I can see radiological services with st Nicholas and one other hospital under.

bjayzeez:


Nominated occupation is geosciences, available in the SOL and CSOL.

surveyor1:

you do both at St nicholas. Bosslady,I read on western australia that someone needs contract of employment after state nomination,if he or she skill falls under schedule2. Clarification?

bellong:


You can only go for state nomination. Geoscience is not in SOL except for geotechnical engineering.

Mine is Geology... Both geology and geophysics are in CSOL.
Thanks big boss. Which state you they sir..




Yes, you need employment offer for schedule 2 list. It was what disqualified me for the WA nomination.

bellong:


You will do only the X-ray at St Nicholas while the medical examination and HIV would be done at Fatayi Williams clinic.

Offshore... Not yet in Oz

bossladyMo:


Oh...so I have to shuttle between the 2. I guess it's only the Abuja clinic that does both.

Pls do I have to book in advance or something? And how long did it take for them to upload your results?

Also, do they disclose results?

bossladyMo:
So 2 different opinions......hmmmm.....

bellong:


Only the Abuja clinic has both.

No need of booking in advance, just call them a day before going to prepare for you.

Result was uploaded the third day because ehealth server had problem. Normally it is uploaded same day, the doctor tried to do it same day but ehealth was down.


I didn't ask about my result because I wasn't bothered. We are all very healthy .

Though when I was about leaving, the doctor told me on my way out that our medicals are good. It cleared same day it was submitted.

bossladyMo:


Awesome! Same day...wow, that's fast....and it also cleared immediately....coool!!!

My husband even went to do a round of tests outside, just to be sure hehehehehe...

As for me, since I'm pregnant, most of the tests had been done on me.

Is it possible for me to go to both in a day? Does it take a long time? Do they do weekends?

bellong:


I did everything same day. I grew up in the Island, so I know short cuts to cut off long queues that could prevent us making it to Nicholas that day.

Get to FTW early in the morning, you will finish with them before St Nicholas closes X-ray for the day.

Why was he scared doing extra tests?

surveyor1:

St Nicholas was just added to the lists of panel doctors. You can do both on the same day. However, if you go to st nicholas first with your HAP, they will do all the necessary test but if you go to fatayi william, you will be refer to st nicholas for x ray. The choice is yours

bellong:



I didn't know St Nicholas is now included, if Surveyor is very sure of it. I was given a referral letter from FTW to St Nicholas for the X-ray.

bossladyMo:


Cheques in your name won't work.

Payslips alone won't work.

Tax certificate alone won't work, cos it doesnt show records of amounts paid. Tax returns are more acceptable.

South Australia sponsors corporate services manager. But there is a catch - Over the financial year, states change their occupation lists a few times, unlike the 189 SOL that is amended just once. They add or remove occupations...so you have to pray that by the time you are done with the assessment (3 mths), it is still available for sponsorship...cos there's a chance it might be removed.

Read about the 489...and see if you can accept the terms. Remember you are not entitled to medicare or child care benefit for 2yrs...so all daycare fees and health insurance, will have to come out of pocket.

But if she can get an 8 in each band, then 190 is sure for you.

For VETASSESS assessment, payslips will do just fine, and they must cover all years of employment...like 1 for every quarter. The duties stated on the employer reference letter must align with the duties stated on the abs.gov.au site, for that occupation. Visit the VETASSESS website for more details.

I applied for the 489.

dailydolar:
let pray she get 8 but for now i no wan loos make i dey prepare for the 489
