@tunlex01 greetings to the great Aussie oracle!

I am currently in a back&forth with EA.I am getting assessed as a telecommunications engineer.I made my payment inclusive of a fast track since 22-12-21 though the site already announced that process would only begin on 10-01-22 because of the festive period(fair enough).I got a mail on 27-01-22 that the process had begun but they required a secondary document covering my employment periods of over 10years(they even advised me in that correspondence that there could be an outcome possibility of Telecoms Network Engineer having gone through my CEs and professional engineering summary and wanted a nod for so which I said yes.I submitted my payslips across all these years carrying pension remission on 03-02-22.The CO uploaded the portal again and advised a payslip is not a secondary document and gave me the options as per MSA booklet .I got my pension statement summary covering all these years and uploaded again on 05-02-22.

I was counting days as fast track is supposed to be 20days but after a while I uploaded a complaint on the EA customer service portal on 20-02-22 enquiring why the process was taking long. I got a response from the CO requesting for the same document I had earlier uploaded claiming the first one was not seen .I uploaded it again and put a call through to them. They assured no documents would be required again .A mail also came in on 27-02-22 an outcome would soon be ready.

Again after counting days(40 working days from 10-01-22 and 26working days from 27-01-22 that the first update came) and no outcome,I upload another query. To my chagrin, the CO updated on the portal saying they would not accept my pension statement account because it does not have the names of my employers. This is after explaining on the portal while uploading that the pension company does not segment pension remittance according to employment period and employer name .I even uploaded a supporting document called welcome letter that carries my company name.

1. I have gone to the pension company but they insist that is the usual template anywhere and they cannot generate such with the info.
2. I have mailed their customer service with this request and a possible cover letter;I want them to state they cannot and will attach this as a supporting document....do you think this will fly?
3.have you had any of such experience? my friend used this same document and he never had any issue .he is in Aussie now...how best can I approach this
4. what is the possible worst case scenario ..I am confident my application is good I just dont know why this CO is being impossible; all my documents are verifiable and legit
5. the 2 other options of tax and state board(I dont quite the that doc name) are documents that will require a long time to process and get that is why I am sticking to my pension statement
6.I dont know why I only get request for documents only when I fill a complaint on the portal..I am honestly hoping I can fight for a refund of my fast track payment because it is almost not worth it now without a fault of mine(hoping /praying I get a positive outcome with my 10 years intact)

kindly advise based on above ...apologies it is a long one but na as e dey really pain me..time is running!!!

verocharles:
Most of the COs always insist that the name of your company ought to appear in the pension record, bank statements, tax and pay slips. Do you have salary bank statements where the name appeared? if you have it can fly.

tunlex01:


So sorry you haven't had the best experience with EA.
I understand the CO might just be doing their wokr. Usually, document requirements gets updated based on things COs notice on applications.
Truly, your pension fund should have the name of employer on the pension. How is anyone supposed to verify that the company actually pays if it's not written there? I just pulled out my pension statements and they have all the details the CO is requesting.

The letter from your pension company should suffice. Get it stamped with the current date, scan and send back to them.
Do you have tax document? It's usually either pension or tax. So if you have a tax statement, save yourself the stress and attach that.

soulamanne:


I just pulled out my pension statements and they have all the details the CO is requesting......really!please what pension coy is that(pardon me if it is not a suitable question to ask;I just want to use it as a case when I get to the pension company for a request for this)

tunlex01:

TRA requests for qualifications that relate to your experience.

If it's not a paid employment, then you should have a registered company, with taxes paid over the years.
You also need at least trade test certifications to prove your skills in such occupation.

tunlex01:

you should quote me next time so I don't miss it.

Can you provide a response to other question I asked in my previous post?

soulamanne:



thanks for your input...my payslips over the last 10years of work experience I am claiming all have my full name and the name of my employers.they are saying a secondary document should be a pension statement, a tax receipt and another state board document(cant quite get hold of that).of all these, my pension statement is the easiest for me to get.Starting the process to get my tax receipt is a process that I dont think I can make the 21-03-22 deadline that I now have to submit.

The pension company insists the pension statement cannot carry individual company name remitting .I am seeking for a cover letter from them as supporting document.I just feel the CO is overreaching ...you already have all my payslips with item named pension,you have all my employment letters and also ref letters from the companies telling you the period I worked...why this again.I am really tired meeeen!I am hoping this will not end in an appeal.I believe my outcome is ready just the last doc is why he is holding it back....it is just a technical ground and has nothing to do with the quality of my application.as per the bank statement;the CO defines a secondary document as pension account,tax receipt etc)so I am not sure they will take it

stifo2012:
You will need to look at things from the view point of the assessor. Both primary and secondary documents are needed to conclude your assessment process.
My advise is that you get your bank statement and highlight all your salary on it. Also, include some of your payslips referencing those transactions. You could make use of 3 to 4 payslips per year covering different organizations you worked.
Please get a signed copy of your bank statement and not online for this so it can serve as a third party document.
Make a formal request by email for the pension statement to indicate the names of the organization you worked with and then include all your correspondence to the assessor.
You will still need your income tax statement during the visa application process so i will advise you to start working on getting that too.
The process for getting it may not be as cumbersome as you think.

once again thanks for your input .I now have a letter from LEADWAY PENSURE stating all the years and the employers remitting. I will also attach the mail correspondence I shared with the pension company where they categorically said they do not put name of employer on statement an their reason .they then attached an introduction/cover letter

Thanks a whole lot for the last advice...I am already processing my tax receipts for my last 2 employers;the one for my current employer should not be hard

Hi all,
Please I just joined this thread and will like to get some answers.
I'm 36, married with no kids and my wife is already in Australia for her masters while I'm in Nigeria. I applied for a Vetassess assessment (Geophysicist). Apart from her invitation as a dependent, would like to know my PR chances.

A signed bank statement does not count as 3rd party documentation for DHA, EA and ACS. TRA will accepts it.
In addition, income tax statement is not mandatory. It's either pension or tax. Tax statement is a good-have but not a must have if there is other 3rd party document.

Cool.
Visit TRA website, study the MSA booklet and begin your application.

Before you submit an application, make sure your job descriptiond are correctly aligned to the occupation you are nominating. There are a few Electrical Engineering technician that can help

judisco2019:


Thanks so much. Please can I get the number of any of the electrical engineering technician guys for guidance and easy communication.

tunlex01:


Go through TRA website to read through their requirements. If you claim self employment, you need to provide evidence of such services performed to people and the payment made into your account and a few other documents. Tax remittance also legitimises your operations.

You need at least 3 years verifiable experience to assess with TRA.

tunlex01:

It's a dicey situation.
If you arrive here as a dependent, you will no longer be referred to as offshore and most states are the moment are only offering nominations to graduates from their universities. If you are not a graduate, there could be some other pathways.

ANother option is you may be lucky to get a job and/or a company willing to sponsor you and your spouse.
The location(state) of your spouse's university and also course of study can also determine your chance.
Sincerely, your chance at PR looks good due to your occupation.

judisco2019:


One more thing, should my school send the transcript or I have to attach the transcript myself. Again, should I use both OND, HND and Btech or just any of the qualifications.

Solonzo19:
Thanks sooo much for your feedback, appreciate.
Meaning I stand a better chance as an offshore applicant since I didn't graduate from their schools. And please what are the other pathways?
She's studying "Applied linguistics & TESOL(Teaching English to non English speakers)" in Sydney.
And lastly, I'm yet to get my Vetassess assessment but will it be advisable to apply for a 189 visa after a positive assessment?
Thanks for your efforts�.

tunlex01:

You can attach your transcript.
You can attach both OND and HND but you may not be able to claim point for BTech

judisco2019:

Thanks for reverting once again. I want to get it straight. So, u mean that unlike WED where I need to ask my school to send my transcripts to Canada for evaluation but in the case of TRA assessment, I just need to attach soft copies of my transcripts?. Again, I can start the process right away by getting my bank statements for employment and apply ASAP. Pardon my curiosity. I need step by step advice on how to go about the whole thing. I just don't want to make mistakes.

tunlex01:

I think so. Other pathway is DAMA or job sponsorship.
Ahhhh...TESOL in an English speaking country?
189? Invitation for 189 has been super scarce. Don't rely on it. You should be aimming for 190 and 491
