@all,

According to reliable sources, the November rounds will be on the 8th and 22nd November.

Zany.

Same here...
But let them make it official sharp sharp.
Anyways 3PM Nigerian time is 9hrs away...

DIBP just announced they will be updating the 18th October result shortly...

to see the announcement, you have to login into you skillselect (EOI) page.

Good news peeps, as this means we will know the time ITA will roll out in November.

hope this helps allay our fears.

@Eladua

Congrats fam.

Let me correct a notion.
489 visa no be at all at all visa.
It's a very good visa.
It's equally as expensive 190 n 189...
......
Same destination.... different route..
It's the journey that matters most

Congrats once more

Good morning sir, what do you make of the current skillselect invitation/result seizure? I thought they usually go on break in December/june.

Its a bit worrisome that the result are not being released in a timely manner... and it appears no ITA was sent out on Nov 1 as expected based on fortnightly schedule.
Rumors and speculations across the web has it that the skillSelect system is full of bogus EOI's with very High scores thereby denying real EOI's its ITA and also that DIBP is working effortlessly on a clean up.
https://www.facebook.com/iscah.migration/

All in all , I really hope DIBP will release some information to quench the ( insert a word from Patrick Obahiagbon dictionary ) soonest as this is the only genuine source for such information.

Also the skill select system doesn't go on holiday break. Its a SaaS platform (Software as a service). however it can go down for maintenance or crash. However the Human Capital of the DIBP do go on holiday breaks.
attached is the ITA records from 2016 till date

Well...I gave you an updated version of your information. The year they talked about is here. 30-Oct-2017

Needed to update y'all, just incase anybody is planning on paying Assessment fee.
For I do not see the need withholding the information.

2017-18 year has already been announced... all changes have been effected... New migration year starts in July and ends in June.. the link i quoted was a reference.

Honestly you are still not explaining anything here. can you quote your sources

you have not provided any updated .. rather "advice and conclusions"

Hi,
what information are you trying to pass here ...
some occupations have always been on the flagged list...
@bold how did you arrive at such conclusion or what informed such an advice..!!!!
@italics it clearly states its for information purpose and in this current year 2017/18. there is nothing to worry to about

Flagged Means

As part of the annual SOL review, there are a number of occupations which are ‘flagged’ for possible removal in the future.

Generally, occupations are flagged when there is emerging evidence of excess supply in the labour market. For the 2016–17 SOL, 51 occupations have been flagged.

Although being flagged down not guarantee that the role will be removed, we’d suggest that people looking to emigrate to Australia under one of the occupations below take this as an early ‘heads up’ that your choices may be limited when the 2017-2018 SOL is announced early next year.

Stay strong

@bellong happy birthday to you.. may your days bellong

Daslimo:
Thanks a lot...lastly, I've come to the point of decision between both. Which should I opt for?
PTE vs IELTS?

If ielts, General vs academic? I just need the 20 points through the easiest route.

Thanks again sir!

To be candid, Nothing like easy route for any. You have to study hard and be @ your best...
Be it PTE OR IELTS (general preferred).
You have to bringup your A game.

ebyjoyken:
Hello House.

I have been working as the Human Resource Head of department for over 5 years. 34 years : 25pts of age. With my points I should have around 65 points. However my main concern is how to go abt getting my transcript assessed with AIM... pls can seniors in the house help me out

Kindly visit the AIM website for all detailed requirements, your transcript is not the only required document

Hi Alphadoor.... Based on your hunch do you think the points would likely drop to 60 for 2613-13 (Software Engineer) in any of the November rounds? Thanks.

Not likely to drop sir

Hello @all and greetings to the gurus in the house, @bellong, @zanyzara, @catchdwind4rmkd et al.

I came across this thread yesterday and it was very much on point for me. I've started reading from the first page since then. Thanks for the huge information been dished out here. Here is my profile.

M.Eng. Elect/Elect. Engr, BSc. Elect/Elect., Age 33, 6+ Experience in an Telecom Engineering firm. A family of 5 (3 kids)
I plan to write my PTE exam soon and apply for assessment through Engineer Australia EA. I am hopeful to get assessment as professional engineer so as to take the 189 PR route as learnt from the first page of this thread. However, I need some clarifications regarding the financial implication of this hustle because things are a bit tight now. After paying for PTE and paying for Engineer Australia assessment, what other costs do I still need to cover to get the 189 Visa? I read in some pages people asking of statement of account, assets, visa payment etc. Please I need to know these before make PTE payment, being sure to know I'm capable of executing this financially. Your swift response in this regard will be appreciated.

Cc @bellong, zanyzara, catchdwind4rmkd, Azy123

@misoke.

Occupation: System Analyst
Graduating Year: 1999 for OND, 2004 for Bsc
Years of Experience: 8 Years.
Can you share with me your email address if possible?

You can go ahead and submit both documents. however your application may trigger an RPL .. if those, pls do not fret, its actually good for you. is 8yrs the maximum you can claim, 2004 till date is 13yr that ACS will like to slice and slash.

I hope your JD is well aligned with system analyst roles. this is very important

send a PM

There is likely to be three rounds of invitation this November...!!
1st..... 18th..... and 29th

fatima04:

Hi all,

Someone should please advise base on below Info.
Positive Assessment Vetessess- Customer Service Manager (ANZSCO Code: 149212

What are the chances and which class of visa will you suggest i put in for, plus do i stand a chance of getting 60 point.?

Based on current trend i will say visa 489

https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/489-

webmaster3:
I need advice on this. Am currently attempting ACS evaluation and i have both OND (Computer Science) and Bsc(Computer Engr). Do i need to upload transcript for both qualifications or only the highest qualification needs to be done. Note that i had a Direct Entry to University and did not undergo 100Level which would show in my University transcript.

Details Details details

what occupation are you nominating?
what year did you graduate and what school ...both OND and BSC?
How many years of experience do you have or claiming?

the answer to your question is complicated and simple at the same time with ACS if you want to get more than positive assessment result, cc misoke : azy123.

nikkycool:

Hi all, am new on this thread. I have a really urgent question. I have an Australian student (based on scholarship) visa but am working on the PR pathway.
Please
Could you kindly tell me if you had a stop over in Malaysia,? I booked a turkish airline flight to Australia, and the flight is passing through Malaysia, then turkish airline is using Malindo airline as the connection flight to Perth. Please I want to know if we will be needing a Malaysia visa during the 1 hour 50 minutes transit time? Did you get a Malaysia visa? Or was it required from you ?
Please quickly come. To a sister aid I'd you've used turkish airline recently.

Thanks

You don't need Malaysian visa. Since you are not leaving the airport
