Trust you didn't read my comment right bro....."front-loading doesn't NECESSARILY translate to a direct Grant".

OzyMigrant:


You can wait if that is what you feel strong about. But according to the auto-reply message they normally send, you should wait for at least six weeks before sending a reminder....yours is over 2 months already according to your earlier post.

PS; Front-loading doesn't necessarily translate to direct grant.....you can check expat forum and see for yourself.

OzyMigrant:

I like your spirit bro....but things don really change o, you might want to look up below link on expat forum;

lalaazo:

the hustle is taking a new turn; DIBP made changes to waiting/processing times for SC189 @ 8months and 11 months minimum for 75% as well as 90% of application being processed respectively, update as at 20 July,2017( for the month ending June 2017). Now the long wait continues..........

spyroxy1:


Whats CO please

ZoeW:

Its been a real windy process. After 2 contacts from my CO to resend documents lost due to the site upgrade, I was told to pay $50 to convert my application to RPL last week as my degree has insufficient ICT content but I have sufficient experience. I just submitted this yesterday and my fingers are crossed.

Hello my able ACS folks....

I just got my ACS assessment feedback, it was positive but i didn't like the outcome.

My Bachelor's Degree was assessed as an AQF Associate Degree with major in Computing (N.B. I graduated from Babcock University), This caused them to deduct 5 years from my experience. Do i contact the CO..what are my chances it would be reviewed

Also one of my Career episodes was assessed as not suitable i guess it's the way i wrote the JD. Do i go for an appeal or review, sending another one?

Kindly advice..please your help would be appreciated.

trastar:


So I have clicked on that Link and read it over and over. What exactly is the significant change?
I submitted an EOI for 190 and selected Victoria.
What should I have done or shouldn't have done? Kindly assist cos now I'm confused.

Hephgirl:
Ok so I've read through.

On d dibp website I saw pet engineering.. As per new occupation listed
But on anzsco search it's not there..

What does this mean please?

And is there any other occupation u recommend a petroleum engineer can nominate?

trastar:
So my ACS ppl,
The Victorian Government nomination process is in no way connected to the Australian Computer Society's (ACS) assessment of work experience. YES
So my question is, if they consider overall work experience, and you decide to enter date for overall work experience in your 190 EOI for victoria, knowing you can back up your claim, Would DIPB accept that? NO

Since you will be awarded points for overall work experience. This is a sole responsibility of DIBP only

Abi when it's time to defend it, person go go call them from Victoria office to come and help talk to CO.? Lool.

disectur:
Hi guys, I'm doing PCC by Friday and going for medicals by next weekend. My wife will be 14 weeks pregnant by then. If I can lodge my 190 visa by 24th and front load all doc's, I'm hoping for direct grant in 4 - 6 weeks. My hope is that IOM can assist to book a ticket for 1st or 2nd week in October.

I don't want to get trapped in Naija due to my wife's prenancy. Does anyone know what the maximum weeks of pregnancy we can be allowed to fly with Emirates or Qatar?

Also how long does IOM take to get booked tickets?

Jiggsbaby:
Please which agent can I use to apply for PR or can I do it on my own ..please help with an answer

Casumugha:

JERRYMAG4:
The great family, Thank God the ACS site is back and working fine. However, please I need a clarification before I finally make payment. The END DATE, under work experience is required to be filled. Since I am still with my company, which means I don't have an end date yet, what should I fill here? Please help
