Hello Nairalanders,

I have come with gratitude to you all, especially @BossladyMo for your help and support on this forum for newbies.

I have received outcome of the assessment and it is positive.
The next stage is to make EOI which I intend to do by this weekend. Also my sister may be relying on the English language proficiency letter from university for her visa application - please what do you think about this?

Thank you

Yay!

No, she has to do IELTS, if she is the main applicant. Do that Asap, so you can apply in this financial year...in case the rules change in July or the occupation gets removed.

I think this is it. Except ofcourse he is using the IOM Nigeria office.

You can as well use IOM Australia, someone just got Lagos-Dubai-Adelaide with Emirates for US $1045.

. Thanks a lot Ubtech. I will get in touch ASAP. Do you have any idea how long it took the person to get a reply from them.

Abeg make una help me see trouble o, I have been trying to call DIBP Lagos office since 8am this morning, its ringing and no one is picking up (01-4535190) According to their site i am suppose to book an appointment before coming to submit my visa application.
My question is Can i go there without booking the appointment? Will they attend to me anyway?
Does anyone have a different number to reach them if it is strictly by appointment.

Thanks BossLadyMo,

I have read online that IELTS can be waived when the applicant and dependants (above the age of 16) possess equivalent of a bachelors degree.

This link http://www.workpermit.com/australia/ielts.htm
"To determine that you have sufficient English language ability to be able to participate in the Australian labour force, the Australian authorities require that you take the IELTS examination if you are not a native English speaker. You do not need to take the IELTS exam if you have gained a tertiary degree (equivalent to an Australian Bachelor’s degree or higher qualification) from a University where English is the medium of instruction."

And

This one for NZ which has a lot in common with Australia - http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migrant/stream/work/skilledmigrant/caniapply/english/

However, you may not have to take the IELTS test, if you can show us that you:
have a recognised qualification from a course taught entirely in English
have ongoing skilled employment in New Zealand, and have been in the job for at least the last 12 months
have other evidence that you are competent in English - we will consider the evidence that you provide.

I am keen to avoid relying on the IELTS because poor sister just had a baby and I feel it will help if she doesn't have to add more pressure of preparing for IELTS

Please give your opinion based on these information if it's a risk worth taking by relying on proficiency letter from university

How did she want to claim points for language proficiency, if she is not willing to write IELTS test?

Wow! that's a great deal. I'm still waiting for IOM to give response despite having submitted all the required docs. I haven't even been provided a quote and I'm worried coz I have less than 10 days. Those wakanow guys fit give person hypertension.

How long before your friend was able to successfully procure his/her ticket using IOM Australia?

Much thanks.

Which DIBP office is that? Pretoria? Aren't you supposed to lodge visa application via Teleperformance? I suppose you're trying to lodge a study visa application?
