Hello Bellong,

Please, is it required that my spouse write any English test even when I'm not claiming point for partner skill qualification? On what condition is a proof of functional english required?
Thanks for your anticipated response.

@Ifexsco, congratulations!!!

bellong:



This is not true..

@Sophyrocks,

Which university did you finish from?

@Ifexsco,


Wonderful... Congratulations..

I am very happy to hear the news... I wish you goodluck in the land

oknee:



Congratulations .I confess I was one of those that lost hope when you made the miscalculation about the score. Your BP must have consistently high. Thank God it is over.

Ifexsco:
Thanks so much BOSS! I bale for you! You know how many of my mails you have had to respond to! I go still worry you o

flgd:
Hello house,

Have read the thread from the ist page but need clarification.

My details r thus...
B.sc physics
8.5 years experience in operations in a bank.

Considering the disparity in my degree to my occupation is it advisable to apply stating occupation as accountant?

Kindly assist with most suitable occupation skills to choose.

chuckdee13:
. no ITA from NSW yet...still on it

Sophyrocks:

The highest i have is Msc Parasitology which is leaning towards Public health. My experience in it
is not paid so thats out. My bsc is in zoology.

I want to understand something. How does one know if his/her bsc is equivalent to AQF diploma? I never saw anything like that on vetassess site.
secondly, i was thinking of nominating aquaculture farmer since i have just one year experience in that occupation. Peeps with zoology degree also work in the agricultural sector that has to do with animal breeding because they are related. Well i guess vetassess may disagree. By the way, i dnt intend claiming points for work experience
.Thanks.

bellong:


I agree with you that VETASSES is crazy with qualification assessment of some universities in Nigeria. They have some universities they assess positive while some are negative.

I know where you are coming from, but not all universities get assessed negatively. I was assessed by VETASSES and some others, we got positive assessment with our Bachelor degree.

The Grant with the longest timeline has arrived!!!
The timeline is as follows;
10th December, 2014; sent in my application to Engineer Australia for assessment
5th April, 2015; Got a positive assessment, dated 2nd March.
6th April; submitted an EOI
10th April: received an ITA. The speed made me wonder if the thing na real!
22nd May; lodged my application. Made the payment but wasn’t able to upload documents because my immi account was acting up.
I discovered Nairaland and through the discussions, I discovered I had made a HUGE error- had claimed some prequalification job experience. My points should actually be 60 and not 65. E-family had given me HBP with their comments that I had made a BOGUS claim and therefore jeopardized my application. However, of all these comments, Manmeta said I will be fine…..that he can feel it within his bones. This singular comment did a lot to calm me down.
25th June; by the direction of NNBB abi Bellong, I wrote DIPB a love letter making a passionate appeal for my points to tb corrected to 60. I stated it was an error done in ignorance and not a BOGUS claim.
13th July; they responded saying that it has been noted.
17th July; I was assigned a CO and he requested for documents and medicals. Remembered I was not able to upload my documents. I had put medicals on hold to see the outcome of my plea. I requested for my immi account to be repaired, still gave issues but one day it opened and I was able to upload the docs.
4th August; I and my family went for medicals
4th September; 1st request for outstanding documents! They asked for my form 80 and F1221. I sent the docs as email attachments. They first mail had omitted these forms, I resent it. They got the second mail and yet only decided to open the first one!
11th September; they sent a mail requesting to correct my score from 65 to 60. They said they agree it was an unintentional error. I sharperly consented! At this point my BP normalized…
24th September; 2nd request for outstanding documents! Asking for form 80 and F1221 AGAIN! I discovered they don’t check their mails so I resulted to calling them asap after I have sent a document. However, they also requested for my wife’s evidence of functional English as her certificates submitted is not a proof that the courses were taught and examined in English. Na vernacular we dey use learn for Nigeria
The letter for proof of functional English took 4 weeks to obtain. UNICAL and una registrar I tire for una!
27th November; 3rd request for outstanding documents! They asked for my CV. I had attached it earlier but as usual….. They also asked for my wife’s transcript. Remembering what I passed through to get a simple letter, I acted wisely. I contacted a friend working in the university where my wife was doing her Msc and we were able to retrieve her transcript from the PG school and I photocopied it. Sharp guy!!
28th January 2016; 4th request for outstanding documents! I tire for this people! They asked I should provide the following; address (including street number) for 2 work places I had claimed (I had written only the city where they were situated), Name of family business which I was involved in. (it was a road side unregistered and nameless shop), show evidence of how I supported myself financially during my Msc abroad. Na wa! They thought I had worked during my Msc. I found the electronic receipt of my school fees paid by my father; I sent it as I didn’t have any bank statement for that period.
During all this my wife got pregnant. We thought the grant will come out and we could leave by March. We never heard anything up till March 21st when we put the application on hold.
15th April; they wrote saying my application was decision ready. They informed me of the advantage of delivering the baby onshore and asked for my wife’s due date.
15th June; requested for my application to be reopened. Our baby had arrived May 17th.
23rd June; they requested the baby to go for medicals.
8th July; the baby’s medicals was done and submitted.
2nd September; THE






189 GRANT LANDED for myself, wife and two kids!!!! It has been a dogged journey. It took a lot of will power, PERIODS of despair, anxiety (waking up every night to check mails and so many of those days, they was no mail!). Hope someone will learn from my mistakes. But above all, I believe God allowed it to be so for a reason.
My appreciation goes to God almighty, BossLadyMo, NNBB, Oga Bellong, Manmeta, Izykvision, etc.
The land of Oz, here we come!

Skip the skilled employment assessment; the degree assessment is very adequate. Having your work experience asssessed positive by EA doesn't really add much value; DIBP will still perform a verification (if they choose to) when the visa application is made.

Just save that work assessment fee and use some place else.

Okosay:
the Ogas won't answer this kind question buh lemme help you kindly go to page 0 and read up u will discover that u never read anything before u dey find help and dis my opinion will stand even if oga bellong see ur question.lol

Ifexsco,

Please, did you claim points for your spouse's qualifications?

Wondering why they needed verification from her school. Or is that part of the process at DIPB?

Pls shed more light
