Hello all. I'm ready to do my assessment. Im a marketer in a bank and i want to nominate marketing specialist. Pls who has gone through this process before to guide me? My degree is in law and i have 5+years experience. Kindly assist as i need all the help i can get.

Tee79:
I wrote pte after ielts because I did not get the 20 points I needed and decided to try pte.

Grant means visa is granted. That is what Australia immigration call it.

Hedvaforever:


Make sure your job description aligns with marketing specialist job description on the Anzsco website.Its easy for vetassess to tell you that what u do is Sales rather than marketing.I know this cause i have been through it and got a positive assessment. You also need your direct manager to be able to answer questions concerning this when called.Your degree is not highly relevant to the chosen occupation but your years of experience should cover for this.Goodluck

With the opening of the new Subclass 491 Regional Work visa only a day away, the Australian States and Territories are getting ready for the influx of EOI applications expected after 16 November.

The following information has been made available so far.

Victoria
The Victorian Government will accept applications for state nomination for the 491 visa from 9am on Monday 18 November 2019. There is no fee to apply for nomination, and they can use any occupation on the Immigration skilled occupation lists.
However, all applicants for the 491 visa are required to provide evidence of a current job offer in their nominated occupation, located in regional Victoria. Evidence of the employment offer, business operations, recruitment efforts, and genuine need must be provided with the application for state nomination.

Queensland
The state nomination program for General Skilled Migration remains closed, with advice that this will reopen 'in the coming weeks'. A number of occupations have been removed from the QSOL, including:

Ok, thanks for the clarification.

I have a degree in Computer Science, worked for 3 years in a bank (NYSC inclusive) and have been self employed for the past 8 years.
Any hope for me?

Am i to be accessed by ACS or VETASS as my Self Employment has had to do more with consultancy, sales and business development.

Am thinking of claiming business analyst?.

Check the job description for ICT business analyst on anzsco. Also check the requirements for ACS. I am not familiar with ACS.

It's going to be more difficult

Congrats Aussielyfe.

Please my Ogas

I really need help and advise now on my next step...

I have a BSC in computer science and have about 10 certified year in the IT domain.

I had early tried applying for the Aussie PR, but i had my points cut (especially for degree and profession verification by ACS because i had my degree from a Nigerian Private university i was given an Advanced Diploma equivalent and also they cut my years of experience to just 2), which made my overall points depreciate. I was quite upset that i gave up. By the way profession opted for was IT Business Analyst.

I have recently rekindled my zeal to pursue this (by force we must relocate from this naija). Please what do you advise and what are my options.

Dear Friends, please I need serious help, my case officer identified a difference on the date of birth on my wife's wace certificate to that on her passport. The waec reads 23rd march 1993, while her passport reads Dec 12, 1992. Pls I need contact of anyone who works with WAEC office to assist me. I was given 28 days to provide updated certificate (if applicable) pls help a brother who has suffered a lot for this Australia migration stuff plsssssssss.

ogbevireo:


I think it is much more difficult to change the date of birth on the WAEC cert than the international passport.

If you haven't told your CO that the mistake is on the WAEC cert or the CO didn't specify which of both you should update, then I will advise you update the passport.

The above suggestions are based the assumption that her other documents correspond with the WAEC cert.

If you must do WAEC, then you will need to communicate with her secondary school. I think WAEC has a policy of passing all communications concerning school registered students through the secondary school authority.

I may be wrong on all counts.

Nedunwam:



Thanks for your response. The WAEC is GCE. And the CO specifically mentioned the WAEC certificate.
