Bro, what are your travel plans? When are you planning to leave and to which city? (if you can give reasons for your choice, that will be fine). Hope it is not too personal?

johnsontade:


Hi, how much were you charged for your ticket?

johnsontade:


I don't know anyone but i think its pretty lengthy and the requirements are high. NNBB2012 posted a pomsinoz thread link sometimes ago when someone else asked a similar question.

You can read through here http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/211160-solicitor-applying-visa-189-skills-assessment.html

Thanks! Now I think I hv to busy myself with getting an aggregate score of 8 on the IELTS.

Please what is the baggage allowance on flights goon to Australia?

johnsontade:

Really appreciate everyone in this house from inception including those that had left from bossladymo, Jennykadry, ferdimako to bellong, NNBB2012, scrollmeout...the list goes on.

Hello johnsontade, kindly explain what statutory declaration is, and how I can get it. I am currently employed and my company is unwilling to give me reference letter. Thanks.

Please chetaRay and others who paid to IOM through their Nigerian bank account I need your help.

They gave me their Nigerian bank account to pay in, but at the bank I was told that the account can not receive the lump sum of money I want to pay for the flight ticket, that they were only instructed to receive payments for medicals only. Could you guys confirm if this is the account number you paid into? See below:

Standard Chartered
Acc Number: 0001855256

sorry for my late reply..... dats d same account i was given. but d only issue i had was dat d bank doxnt hv a branch here in imo state so i hd to travel to onitsha to make d deposit nd i paid cash nd dia was no hassle at all. are u paying for a return ticket or one way.

BDC...you've no choice,banks refuse to sell and if at all they sell it will probably be a ridiculous sum

@ Dara01 , saw your post late, already paid with teller. Thanks anyways.

@ johnsontade, I was charged USD 1,080.50. But they converted it at their own rate and gave me a bill of N 215k, payable to their Nigerian account.

@chetaRay, it's a one way ticket. The problem with IOM Nigeria is that they hardly pick their calls. I had to wait for over an hour or so to get confirmation from them if that was the right account. Sorry if I may ask, how long did it take for them to verify your payment and send your ticket?

Am new here! Please want to know how much is visa fee for student??

I can't say i really know exactly when i would be leaving..it all depends on how soon i can get things sorted out here as i have quite a few things to do before leaving. I would be going to sydney at least for a start because the job market there is better at least for now and intending schooling part-time at UTS.

Hello johnsontade, kindly explain what statutory declaration is, and how I can get it. I am currently employed and my company is unwilling to give me reference letter. Thanks.

The statutory declaration is done by yourself and signed in front of a lawyer, judge or other person authorised to sign a statutory declaration. The lawyer does not actually certify the contents of the statutory declaration as being correct but rather certifies that you are the person who signed the documents and that your signature is genuine (you sign it in front of the lawyer). The statutory declaration needs to be supported by evidence in the form of payslips, contracts, correspondence, etc in support of the claims that you are making in the statutory declaration.

I guess they are unwilling because you told them its for a visa application. You should understand that it is your right to get a reference letter from your company upon request and they don't need to address it to anyone or eembassy...addressing it To whom it may concern would fly.

yu hv to be calling dem .... dats wat i did. i cald dem evvery step of the way. sometimes dey wont pick up

Sir,
My dropbox account is deepolybutoneday@gmail.com.i will need the 2 materials.
Thanks and more Blessings.

johnsontade:


Thanks

I wouldn't say i really prepared that hard for PTE but i think why i was able to score high was simply because of the exam structure.

It involves more activities compared to Ielts that made it more interesting and i took it with the mindset that i was just playing around with an English app on PC which eased off the pressure but took the timing very seriously like i was truly writing an exam.

The 2 materials i used for practice were Pte macmillian testbuilder which i got on expatforum and the Pte test simulation given to me by scrollmeout. I can share this files with you via dropbox cos they are too heavy to be sent via mail.

sir,
there is something that is not clear to me,you wrote PTE A and used EA as your assessing body. kindly clarify. thanks

johnsontade:


EA doesn't accept PTE. There is no time limit from thr day of graduation but main issue is that you have to write a 3 episode CDR based on projects you have been involved in.

You can write an episode on your final year project but you need 2 more episodes which would make more sense if they are based on your post graduation work experience even if its just 1 yr experience.

These people should give me my visa na. My orientation is next week na

best u can do is to send money gram to urself. u need to go early though cos each bank has a quota that all the branches in Nigeria struggle for. for now I know that skyebank, diamond bank n I think UBA do this. max amount to send varies but usually about 200k. just go to these banks n verify. done at the cbn rate of the day.
