Good morning e-family, please what other means can one use to pay assessment fee to Vetassess? My bank (GTB) says I can do more than $100 in a month on my debit card. Please help. Thanks
Simply put, open a dorm account. get fx from aboki, fund dorm, use ur USD card to make payment (TESTED, TRUSTED, EFFICIENT, FAST BUT EXPENSIVE)

other routes
Western union or Moneygram to a contact in Australia
FX transfer to AU

1. You will have to submit all the qualifications include your bachelors so you can get the maximum 20points from qualification. I can imagine how difficult it is getting transcript from some schools. It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than getting ordinary transcript[/b]However, you have to try all you can to get it.

Goodluck.

I just heard they ve changed location, so I.might not be accurate. Anyway, its still the same closed fitted room, microphone and just that you are being watched from a glass in bellaz as against from a CCTV in Ukeas.
No much difference honestly... just ensure you test the microphone properly and be satisfied with the output before beginning, irrespective of how the admin will tell you otherwise.

That took time to sink sha.. grin grin grin

Was in ur shoes...but I disconnected the oven from gas supply until after EOI was submitted. In any case, do your calculation, if you are sure assessment + EOI + ITA + lodgement can happen within one year of Medicals, then go ahead and get it done asap.
LOL.
Thanks for the feedback.

Has anyone taken PTE-A in lagos?.... which is better UKEAS (53k) or Bellaz (60k) as at the time of this post
TravelRe: General Guide To Australian Permanent Resident Visa Through Skilled Migration. by Alphadoor: 10:51pm On Jan 25, 2017
Is it possible and advisable to front load medicals even before assessment result is out.

Am asking because it's likely a "bun in the oven" story might enter the equation before EOI.

I like to factor in all variables when I make my calculations.

...... thank you house

You can't without transcript. You have to upload it with other documents.

5 points from SA nomination.... Those occupations are on SOL, which means no state nomination required which means you have 70 points.

in addition, both occupations are pro-rata at 65 points. with 70 points, you'll jump the entire pro-rata queue and get invited immediately.. no waiting.

As for current employer... 189 gives you freedom to work in ALL STATES... that includes SA.
@Bnimz Wawu.....
Thanks Bro.
This is a real eye opener..........Now I know better............
Problem shared is problem solved indeed

189 it is then.

Can i lodge my ACS without my transcript (to be uploaded once its ready, school just resumed from strike)

Computer network professionals

or Software and Applications Programmers

You studied Computer Science... surely you can do one of those two... They are both on SOL... pro-rata.. but then, you just calculated 70 points.,....
Thanks bnimz but I'm trying to avoid pro rata list... my total point is 75 grin or with this my high point does it mean I don't have to wait f 6months for ITA.
I read somewhere that prorata means longerr waiting time
My current employer has an office in adelaide that's why am shooting for SA nomination on on 190

Please forgive me for always coming around only when I have some clarification make.
My career episodes/ history in my own word, is it the same thing as my CV?
Do I need to include work experiences that has nothing to do with my nominated occupation? For instance, if I work as an account in an organization and at the same time run a personal business(PB) but choose to migrate with my pb. Do I need to include my accounting experience in my CV?
Visit your nominated occupation assessment body website for accurate clarification.

you can also state the occupation, maybe i can help u look into it.

thank u so much for patiently answering my questions and so sorry for my constant questions, however there was no link to click on all I saw was a table, also I need to ask again as it wasn't previously answered, must I do my English test e. G IELTS in academic module, I did one last year for another process but did it in general module, can I still use it and get a positive assessment?

Thanks

quote author=Alphadoor post=52989956]@moniyet Thank you so much for your advice but is it true that those that chose accounting and ICT occupation need at least 70 to be invited as the influx is high?



Am afraid that is TRUE as at DECEMBER 2016 but this things are not set in stones, its a trend that is not stable

Good day everyone,

Thanks to everyone providing guidance to us all here. May God bless u and the work of your hands, started reading this thread a few days ago but it will take weeks for me to complete so please forgive me if some of my questions have been answered.
uestions are.......

Kindly advise please.
AGE 32: 30
IELTS: 10
Work Experience: 10 or 5 or 0 subject to review by CPA/ICAA/IPA
Partner: 5
Degree: 15

. Worst case scenario is that you will have 60 based on the above criteria, but you are good for 65, You can increase your Points by applying for your assessment soonest (before you turn 33) and also getting superior English score.


the assessment body will advise you if " banking operations can be regarded as closely related to accounting occupation", so the earlier you start the better.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Goodluck

Goodday house, pls is it possible for one to stay permanent in Australia with work permit?.
Work permit usually accompanies a type of visa class.

So it depends on the type of visa that gave you the work permit in the first place?

To everyone who is as bothered as i am about sourcing for AUD.

The harsh reality is that its very difficult and time wasting.

the elders in this forum have spoken.
Option 1: success rate 100% / very fast and secured/ more expensive

The fastest way to go is DORM ACCOUNT funded with Black market and if u r lucky with BDC also.

Option 2: Slow / susceptible to fraud/ Bearable cost

Have a contact in Australia [/b]who is willing to exchange[b]AUD$ for the NGN which u will send to there relative locally


Option 3: Limited/ secured / Moderate Cost / susceptible to fraud

Send Western Union/ Money-gram to a pal in AU, they can lodge the funds into the necessary accounts (either theirs or payee account)
western union is limited to about $1000, not sure its per month or day. and u have to be in the bank by 6am cos the allocation gets exhausted by 8:05am.
Moneygram is limited to 330,000 per quarter and its difficult receiving it in Australia.


PS: I'm not an expert on these, am just sharing my findings , please feel free to correct me. Thank you all grin

Please I have a question. During my assessment, ACS cut down my number of years of experience. Now when submitting EOI, I was asked to provide my employment details from start date to end date. Do I use the cut down version from ACS or do I put in the actual period of my employment details.
Thanks!
i cant say for sure, am yet to commence my assessment but however according my research and consultations , its better to go with ACS assessment so as to avoid conflict of information since all the steps are linked together.

Also, how long did your assessment take.

Information was not verified but you lose nothing if you walk up to a registered BDC to make enquiries. N399 to a dollar not bad if it checks out.

Update: Learnt it's just about $8k per BDC huh
