Age: 30

PTE: 20 (hopefully by grace of God)

3years work experience : 5

Finally, how much is the assessment fees for Vetessea? @boss Bellong and other guru please.

Hello House,

I'm suspecting a foul play from GTB during my visa payment.


May be I need to go do "weyrey" for them!

I feel you bro. Had the same experience when i applied for my ACS assessment. The charges don't just add up even with the 0.98% charge for using MasterCard.
AUD1000 was billed as $820 instead of $756 (patapata $770 )

Dewys1:
Hey Boss,

We dey o, UnderG, Adenike, Stadium. Miss those days. Please did you use the same copy for your ACS assessment. I have a copy addressed to a school in US in 2010, dunno if I can use that. I will PM you now ASAP

For ACS, you can use it... Photocopy it and get it certified at the federal high court

Dewys1:
Hello Guys,

Please I am about to apply for ACS assessment and I need clarifications on TRANSCRIPT.

SkillSelect and State Nomination Update March 2017

This article looks at recent SkillSelect invitation rounds and changes to state nomination requirements.

The situation remains difficult for pro-rata occupations, but this may change as the number of invitations being issued is well below planning levels.

A few states have restricted their state nomination programs, but state nomination remains a very effective way to improve your eligibility for migration to Australia.

Non-Pro Rata Occupations

For most occupations, 60 point is sufficient to obtain an invitation for either the 189 or 489 subclass, and applicants can expect an invitation next invitation rounds.
The reason for this is that the total number of invitations being issued for both 189 and 489 subclasses is nowhere near sufficient to hit the targets being set by the Department of Immigration.

The current planning level for the 189 subclass is 2,000 invitations per round - giving a total of 48,000 for the program year. Even though we are now 3 quarters through the 2016-17 financial year, only 23,021 invitations have been issued for 189 visas, or 48% of the total planning level.

Similarly for the 489 family sponsored subclass, the planning level is currently 200 per round, or an annual total of 4,800, but only 1,082 invitations have been issued - a lowly 23% of the total. The reason for the shortfall is that applicants in pro rata occupations (see below) are currently very unlikely to receive invitations for 489 family sponsored visas - the 189 program has priority for these occupations.

Pro Rata Occupations

The situation is quite different for occupations which are on the "pro rata" list. These are occupations where more eligible EOIs (Expressions of Interest) are being lodged than there are places available in the occupational ceiling.
The maximum number of invitations for such occupations is limited each round, resulting in a higher minimum points for an invitation or a longer waiting time for invitation.

Accountants and Auditors are the most difficult occupations - they currently require 70 points for an invitation, and waiting times for an invitation are quite long even with this score (3-6 months).

All IT SOL occupations are on the pro rata list as well and require 65 points for an invitation. ICT Business and System Analysts are currently waiting 31 weeks for an invitation with 65 points, but the situation is much better for Computer Network Professionals (6 weeks) and Software and Applications Programmers (4 weeks).

There are a number of engineering specialisations on the pro rata list - most require 65 points for an invitation, but electronics engineers have oscillated between 60 and 65 points in the last few months. Some of these occupations were added fairly late in the program year and are currently very close to being filled - Other Engineering Professionals are 96% filled and Industrial, Mechanical and Production Engineers are 93% filled.

The 1 March round was interesting in that double the usual number of pro-rata invitations were issued - this suggests that the program is low on numbers and that Immigration is seeking to fill more places.

If the higher number of pro-rata occupations continues, it would mean that the occupational ceilings for pro rata occupations may be met well before the end of the program year. As a result, points and/or waiting times may reduce in the short term, but there may be a period of a month or two where invitations are not issued in some occupations.

State Nomination Update

A number of states and territories have tightened up their state nomination requirements for 190 and 489 visas.
For instance, Western Australia has this week announced that it has suspended 190 and 489 nominations pending a review of the WASMOL. This may be a consequence of the recent state election in WA.

ACT recently suspended state nominations for offshore applicants - nomination is now only available for those living in the ACT.

Victoria previously sponsored IT professionals quite actively but has suspended these occupations until the new financial year.

Despite these changes, state nomination remains a very effective way to improve your eligibility for skilled migration. Figures from February show that there are a significant number of state nominations being issued (1,578 for the month in total), with NSW, South Australia and Victoria still very active in sponsoring for General Skilled Migration.


Conclusion

The General Skilled Migration program certainly appears to be behind planning levels.
Much will depend on the Department of Immigration's reaction to this. Options they could consider would be:

Raising the occupational ceiling for pro rata occupations - this would meet the program and result in lower points requirements for an invitation
Relaxing the restriction on pro rata occupations applying for family sponsored 489s - this would probably still not meet the planning level for the program, but would be a boon for people with permanent resident relatives in Australia
Do nothing - in this case, we can expect the number of pro rata invitations to be increased in the short term to attempt to get closer to program numbers

Vinsmuft:
You be strong man. How you come take sabi all this tins pass even some Aussie PRs sef.

Man wey sabi

#Respect

jukeblam:
Yea, done that. I'm just wondering cos my allowance is different from what others have been saying, which is 40kg.
Mine states "2 Pieces" only on the ticket- with 23kg being the allowance per piece as contained in the baggage calculator.

Thanks all the same. There probably is a reason for the difference.

oh now i get...

i believe the 40 KG was given to dunsinogundele to just put things under the threshold... cos 23kg x 2 = 46KG... ALAS the genesis of the 40KG brouhaha

Baba God, please i want to be in the TICKET stage too ooo.....

Wwwe:
No one has offered to assist. It is well

Apologies Sir/Ma, there a was minor distraction in the house yesterday. I trust vinsmuft has attended to this.

Thanks for your understanding.

jukeblam:
Just spoke with the 3rd Emirates agent and they all say it's 2 pieces of 23kg travelling from Nigeria to Australia- same with the policy on the website.

However where are people seeing the 40kg?

To all who bought tickets recently, was it stated on your ticket as 40kg? Or in IOM's email.
Pls clarify. Cheers.

while you are right about the 23KG, but that's the maximum weight allowed for a single bag... You are entitled to two Bags for checking ( cabin luggage not inclusive). Clarify with the agent again.


You can use the emirates baggage calculator on their website.
