JERRYMAG4:
My people, i am really having a tough time uploading my document in the ACS site. As at yesterday, i was getting error that the site was down. This evening now, it is not accepting more than one document. Wheras i need to attach work experience, qualifications and passport seperately according to their rules. Please, who has done assessment before through ACS should please advise how to go about this

Help guys...

bellong:


Why won't you go to the state that sponsors you?

The state grants nomination with the expectation that the sponsored will fulfill their part of the obligation to stay for two years at least. I will not encourage anybody to shun their state of sponsorship.

As at today, it is called a moral obligation. There is no implications I know of at the moment. However, rules keep changing. You are trusted to keep your part of the deal.

I apologise for just responding to this.

For question two;using her maiden name is not an issue.I have been married over 4years and still use mine.I have renewed passports and visas and it's never been an issue regarding my marital status so fret not.

Question one get plenty answers and I see Bellong too Don respond.
She can do without the CFA.I got a positive assessment with only a first degree so her first degree with ICAN is just fine.
If you can afford it,Pls assess as both auditor and management accountant with ICAA(I say ICAA because they are the most lenient of the 3 accounting bodies and can give you valid multiple assesments).
Accounting is VERY competitive right now.With two positive skill assessments,you stand a better chance.Aim to have at least 70points(we had 70points and it still took 4months before we got invites as auditors!)

In last financial year July 2015-June 2016,there were only 1000 slots for auditors in the 189 program and they finished in September 2015.This year has about 1377 slots and they could finish anytime as well.
A lot people too are on the queue for 189 accountants so the earlier you join that queue,I would say the better.
But there's always state sponsorship which isn't bad at all as well.

Can u do gen accountant instead of management accountant though?Easier to get state sponsorship of gen accountant over mgt accountant

SegunWamiri:


Hmmmn! How do we handle this: Position Held and its details? These companies don't even know the exact positions she has held or is currently holding in the main organization. They are not even aware of the promotions and transfers or would she just inform them of these and let them clarify with the Main organization?

NB: she doesn't have a direct supervisor within the recruitment agency

bellong:
@Azy123,

That particular question is not for immediate family members. It is for other family like parents, siblings etc. There is another for immediate family members except it has been changed.

Nevertheless, what you can do is to answer yes to all the questions, pay for yourself alone to meet the 60 days deadline. Upload all documents except that you don't do medicals. Once you get a CO contact, advice the CO to put your application on hold because you want to add your family to the application.

Although, you can contact DIBP at anytime after submission to put your application on hold so you can add family members. It is the easiest way to buy time while looking for money for others.

Hello friends, my schools sent some documents from Ilesha since Friday last week, but all I've been seeing on tracking is that it has departed facility in Ibadan since that Friday to get to Melbourne on 6th of this month, there's no update on it's movements other than that. Please, is it possible they didn't send it ni I'm confused.

jukeblam:


If it's NIPOST/EMS, the tracking you see often ends when the parcel leaves city of postage or Lagos.

So, it's possible the parcel is on it's way and should get there within a few days of the stated date.

If there's a way to confirm from the recipient, try to do that.

Hi Obigirl and everyone in the house,

Please has anyone been able to pull through with cafe and restaurant manager assessment? I need to get info for someone.

ACS group manager, Alphadoor, ACS chief of staff AZY123, there be this sister of mine Wey study computer something ( HND), preparing for IELTS, age point is 25 and have few years of experience. Please help me tutor her on what to do. She's a #GMPC member.

castrokins:
Very Tricky, Sir.
Since Bellong's Comment, I Have Been On The ACS Website Trying To Make Sense Of Their Requirements. Sure They Accommodate Qualifications With Minimal Or No ICT Contents, But Again You Must Satisfy Some Other Requirements Incidental To The Process. Whew!!!

Azy123:
really tricky. You will need to go through the ICT professions and choose one to nominate. It should be possible for you to get employment reference letters for any part time job done also before 2012 or even before your studies to ensure that you have enough years of experience for them to deduct.

For Non ICT diploma - you need to write Recognision of Prior Learning (RPL) and they will also deduct 6 years from your experience ( part time - work, more than 20 hours per week, during studies and full time work before admission to study is acceptable by them)

the rest depends on your age and english test result.

So there is hope. It all depends on you.

castrokins:
Boss, Thanks For Flashing This Ray Of Hope. It's Important I Mention That I Started Working In 2008, But The Appointment Was Only Ratified In 2013. In Any Case, I Have Employment Letters For When I Started Working. I Will Look At The RPL Late On To Assess My Chances. Again, Thank You For The Time As I'd Welcome Further Advise Incidental To My Latest Information.

mamajaz:

Thanks bro, it's DHL, the first one they did for me was really pure, I got it's updates from coast to coast. I have placed a call across to the lady I submitted to and she told me it's in transit but that Lagos people were the ones that didn't make the updates, she went further to reassure me that when it gets to the UK I should get an update.
Thanks again.
@ Sunvick, why you dey hibernate?

Azy123:
If your application is properly packaged ( by writing the job description to closely align with the nominated occupation and enusuring the number of hours for part time jobs is greater that 20 clearly stated on the letter for them to see) , Then 2008 to 2017 experience is 9 years. With RPL they can deduct 6 year ( 2008 t0 2014) and you can claim 3 years - 5 points for experience.

calculate your points and see if you can get up to 60 or 65 points - use that to guide yourself as to the ICT profession you will nominate. some are highly competitve and requires 65 point on 189 and are not getting state invitation at the moment while some are not on the 189 list but are getting state nomination with 60 points.

Experience - 5 points,
Education - 10 points,
Age - ?
English test - ?

DatechMan:

BSc is usually what is asseased
Unilorin Cat 2

My advise would be that you should consider Canada. With your profile and a better ielts you should have a very good chance.

Don't worry; had similar issues with DHL when sending documents to Germany late last year. You would definitely get notifications when delivery is made, if you set-up the alert on DHL tracking website.
