Hello,

Please I have some questions as regards ACS assessment.

1) can I use my NYSC work experience, I did my skill related job? YES

2) can I use work experience for company that has shut down, I have detailed exit letters, payslips for when I was there? YES, if you have the shutdown details too, like newspaper publication or internal memo, you can add it also

3) do I need to ask my school to send my BSc transcript, although I have an original copy I used for my MSc application but it has * for the MSc school name* faintly stamped on it. Can I still use it. YES you can use the one with you, ACS only needs a digital copy

4) can I include 3months work experience? YES, as long as you have the required supporting documents

Hello mates. Please do anyone know the process to renew Nigeria passport in Canberra, I live in Perth and I wanna know the process before travelling there. Thanks

DoDirtsLikeWorm:


Well.. if what you said is correct, goodluck to him.

I judged with what happened to my close palz Visa Application.
She was denied because someone on EFCC list tried to help her & the persons account was frozen by the Agency here in Nigeria just weeks after she submitted.
They denied her and she reFired and got banned 4Life.

So, I was just judging with that.

DoDirtsLikeWorm:


Funny you.
You cannot wait till 2020 January while you are in March and it remains 9montha +?

Goodluck with being in a heist and do not blame anybody for taking a Life Assessment Ban

Dikachi12:

After one year...

Pros: God is ever faithful. Whatever your story.....It will end in praise

Cons:
1. Excessive liberalism.
2. Cultural shock.
3. Driver's licence is Gold........hahaha
4.. Minor racism (or maybe not) mostly from Asians.

Reaction - ki lon seleyi? Kora ku nibi yi juh (what's doing this one? Comot for here juh)

But I have repented now, so I smile and act like nothing happened. Australia is home to all of us now. No need to fan the embers of hatred/discord for the sake of our children.


Bye

For me:
Outdoor culture. It means a lot to Aussies. Eating out means a lot to them. I'm tired of answering the question "what do you have planned for the weekend?" What else do I have have planned? I'll be with the family and watch movies...lol. If you give such a response twice, they will see you as a boring person.. lol. If you tell them you are going on some trip to see kangaroo and koala... viola! you will be their friends because on Monday morning, they will cluster around you to hear "gists"

Another culture shock is how everything works. Australia is one giant machine with different parts like centrelink, medicare, tax, etc. one part goes into another. How they have managed to create a society where things work is a shock to me.

How majority drive within speed limit without the presence of police or patrol cars was a shock to me.

kennedychinedu:
bellong pls i have an MSc degree and i was looking through the points system and found out that Aussie PR only recognises BSc and PhD. Does that mean that a Masters wouldnt award me points
and also pls what does this statement mean under the qualifications section.
Thanks

KAYSEE8686:

Please, Oga Bellong Help me out. In May 2017 my VETASSES evaluation for occupation 234211: Chemist came out positive with 5.1 years working experience approved, but my Ph.D.certificate from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria was evaluated as AQF Masters degree can I apply for re-evaluation or I should just focus on blasting the IELTS to get the points I was short change? Urgent, please house!!!!

gsalvatore:
Please House i need to Confirm this.



My question is,

1.Is it only Tasmania that has the occupation Production Manager(Manufacturing)133512 eligible on visa 190 and 489? Its the only state that has it 'Open' on state eligibility details page.Does it mean they can nominate someone?

well ... Other states have with special conditions attached to it. Visit each state's website to see what they want

2.The occupation 133512 is on STSOL, is there any disadvantage STSOL has over MLTSSL occupations as regards to the migration thing?.
STSOL gives access to 190/ 489 Visa only
MLTSSL gives access to 189/190/489
ROL strictly 489


3. What are the chances of success nominating Production manager (manufacturing) regarding the info on the Anzscoresearch.com for migrating?

Nobody can say for sure.. at least I cant. Just read all criteria and if its something you can meet, go for it and hope for the best

Please its urgent...someone need to make a decision.

Gurus in the house...Forgive my ignorance/nuisance.

gsalvatore:
Please House.

Has anyone used TOFEL for this Australia thing?

I only see PTE and IELTS...

Is TOFEL not acceptable?

Tee79:

Why not apply for ACT has well since Victoria is not automatic. If you now get ITA for Visa for the 2 states you can then choose Victoria. It is better to get both than lose out on both.

tomifizi:
Good morning house, I appreciate all your input on the group, please help me out to making a decision.
about 3 two week’s ago I got an ITA to apply for Vitoria nomination which I submitted all supporting document the following day.
After my research on the group, I realize that getting the ITA to apply for VISA wasn’t automatic like other provinces. Earlier today, I also got an ITA for ACT nomination.

At this point I’m at a cross road if I’m to also submit my supporting document for ACT considering that I have to pay for ACT, although I would prefer Victoria to ACT.

Kindly advise accordingly and if anyone in the house got a positive response from Victoria should also help me out.
Thanks a lot

Good morning Nairalanders,

Thank you for all the great work!

Please, I am a graduate of Elect Elect (B.Eng) but I have about 8years work experience in the ICT field, more related to the ANZSCO code 261111 - ICT Business Analyst.

My 8yrs experience cuts across the following: Bank - 1yr, Consulting firm - 6yrs, and my Current job - 1yr. However, my roles are still ICT-related in the firms.
I plan on submitting my ACS Assessment this coming week and I need to request Reference Letters from my organizations. I need help in the following areas:

1. Please, I would need a sample Reference Letter for ACS Assessment on ICT Business Analyst

2a. If ACS chooses to make my B.Eng Elect Elect an ICT Minor, then they will take out 5yrs from my 8yrs work experience which means I need the remaining 3yrs completely to claim my 5points for Experience. So asking for Reference Letter from my current employment is needed to make up for this 3yrs for my 5points on Experience. However, I am not sure what my boss and the HR in my current organization will think requesting a Reference Letter from them now (like I want to leave or something ).

2b. Or can my current job's work-experience Reference Letter be sent later , once it's good enough time to request (Maybe when things are about to click), without paying a new ACS Assessment fee ?

3. Can my Reference Letter be addressed "To whom it may concern"? The reason is that I do not want it being addressed to the Australian Immigration for instance, and then, I may need to tender it maybe to the Canadian Immigration or for something else.

Thank you soo much for the anticipated responses.

Hi bellong and wonderfull people on this platform ,you guys are doing a great job.

Iwant to do my assessment with ACS ,I want to ask if job titles or roles and duties more important for Australian immigration? I fit into computer networks and system engineer for the 189 visa, but my designation is IT support engineer. Will that cause a problem on the ACS assessment?

Im getting reference letter from two company

my current company reference letter job description are closely related to the job description of computer networks and system engineer
as in ANZSCO but they insisted on putting my job title as IT Support Engineer.
My previous company reference letter indicates my job ttitle as computer networks and system engineer with closely related job description of computer networks and system engineer as in ANZSCO

Will that cause a problem on the ACS assessment?


Thanking you in anticipation of your advice. Pls help house.

Hi guys,

This is my brief story..

I got a MRes scholarship in Macquarie University, been here in Sydney since May 2018. I was supposed to bring my family over (wife and two kids) in the time but they were refused visa in December 2018. I had gone ahead to get another PhD scholarship in RMIT and Deakin, Let us say I pick RMIT. Some of the reasons for denial are... Why am I doing a third masters, Wife's lack of home ties in terms of employment and landed property. I have bought a land in her name and my PhD offer would have taken care of more than half the reason why she was denied. Now my set of questions

1. Is it advisable to apply for a new visa for myself because I would need it to re-apply for them. Although my previous visa for my MRes expires in Feb. 2020.
2. Is it advisable to apply with them as a unit or should I do mine first and then do theirs afterwards.
3. What other suggestions do you have to make sure they do not get refused again.
4. Where in Melbourne can I live in terms of proximity to african community, affordable, family friendly and peaceful (My wife is both a fashion designer, a teacher and a hair dresser), which is not too far away from Bundoora Campus (RMIT)

Please there is no trivial response, all comments are welcomed.

Good Afternoon everyone,

So I had a first attempt at PTE and just got my result. Had L-84, R-79, S-70, W-87. It's a bit painful because nine more points in my speaking would have granted me 20 points but I'm still good with 10 points. Once I add this to the requirements under my visa category(subclass 489), I would have a total of 70/65.

Now, my chosen occupation falls under VETASSESs and there's only one state nominating it (Please what are my chances?).

Also, my major confusion is the application process. Is the EOI application different from the VETASSES application? or are they the same thing. Because I can see VETASSES also requires an application process.

Please o, I would really appreciate all necessary feedback, as I want to be very sure of my next step now that I have the PTE Result.

Thank you.

Hello guys

How can I check quota for the various skills.

Like the remaining quota for each skill set. So that I can check which skill is less competitive. I need this to make a quick decision

Thank you
