When did you lodge EOI boss and is it 491?

Bodacious1:
Good morning guys,

For those who raised 190 EOI for Victoria, have you received any emails from Victoria? I got a response to my ROI this morning and would like to know (from those who have more info or have gone through the process), what the next steps are.

Thanks in advance.

my brother I could not believe it o!I had struck off WA from my potential hopefuls suddenly this leap of hope!!!hoping and praying for the best now.







Your eyes aren't deceiving you . That's the true state of things for now. The entire of Western Australia is currently classed REGIONAL. So you can tell that they are trying to make the place as enticing as possible.

Hello senior man can I hv your contact

Saynoomore:


I was excited when I read Tunlex's post about QSOL being opened, I scanned through the list very rapidly but didn't find my occupation as well. Then I went through the list like 3 times again, but very slowly this time! still not there on the list! Quite sad anyway, but like you said, we move o!

Saynoomore:


Thanks for the info. That's some good news there!

Please what's the difference between ROI and EOI?

Saynoomore:


Sorry, I meant WA & Victoria [Both require having a job offer]

Saynoomore:
Some Provinces require POF, e.g WA, NT (they also require a job offer for 190, and 491)

Saynoomore:
@tunlex01,

Pls what does this screenshot mean for Queensland 491. Does it mean that an applicant must be residing in these zipcode areas to be eligible to apply for Subclass 491? i.e. It's not open to offshore applicants?

olajidela:

Please when did you apply?

obirep:
Hi,
Please I need a little clarification.
As the main applicant, does my partner needs to run an assessment as well? Because, while going through the calculation, I could see an option for partner with competent English having 5points and also an option for a partner with required age limit, right English competency and nominated skill assessment with 10 points.

Your clarification on this will be appreciated.

tunlex01:


491 is a work visa.
No one can say. Fitter usually doesn’t require much points except there is a change in the new Financial year.
What is the reason for family coming to join later?
Personally, I’m not for it cos the stress of the application can be taken care once and for all and you all don’t have to land at the same time. You can land first then they rest of the family can join later.

cutepinkk:

How can i migrate to australia with my husband and two kids. I have my masters in chemistry and have worked about 8 years in the chemistry lab in a nigerian university i and my husband are below 35 years. My husband also has his masters. Please someone should advice me on how i can get a successful assessment as well as how we can proceed. I am the principal applicant

tunlex01:


This is likely a rookie CO mistake but don't fall for it.
Stand your ground that you will not be paying an extra dime and you need them to expedite action.
If they come up with any stupid appeal, reject it and let them know if this does not get resolved ASAP, you will be reporting them to the Ombudsman (Australian Competition & Consumer Commission). This should be your last resort.

tunlex01:


Firstly, congratulations on your positive assessment.
EA is clear, only years with adequate 3rd party documents will be approved.
Please attach a screenshot showing the information of July 2012 to 214 (remove all personal details). You should not have accepted the letter from Leadway. You should have requested them to put it in the cover letter that they received a lump sum for those initial periods.
COs (assessing bodies or DHA) don't work with emotions; they follow guidelines. If your company stopped paying pension,reference letter cannot substitute for pension statement. So, I don't think that is the CO's fault.
Why is your current workplace stopped at May 2021? Do you reckon is any of the documents you submitted or reference letter dates?
Clarify all these then send a 'lovely' stinker to them via email detailing how stressed the assessment made you, the length of time and the impact of their wrong decision on your life and specify what you want as resolution (be specific that an appeal would not be a solution after all you the back and forth with the CO).

No you can't claim the 8 years experience

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

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.

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.
