@ Utchylee. Many thanks for your response. Are you also looking to head there too? What's the difference btween the 487 and 190. We are a family of 3 . I am praying other states start sponsoring my occupation oh! What's the occupation you are nominating?
It's well you would also get diamond and precious stones too ;Dyour desires ago everyone's one shall be granted.
Yes is for processing time but you can still ask your questions and people will respond.

Also search for Nigerian association of northern territory Australia on Facebook try and see if you can get anyone that can help you I guess is Nigeria's you really want to talk with.

For your assessing body I no nothing about them sorry I can't help with that one.

Like you said people don't like going to Nt because of its weather very hot just like naija and far from any other place but as for me Na dere my gold and treasurer's dey grin cheesy

@ Utcheylee. Thanks so much. I checked out the expat forum it was more general discussion on Nt processing times that's 3 months plus.
I guess ppl not go to the Nt. Pls has anyone gotten postie assessment from Aim. Australian institute of management?
Anyone here nominating Nt is still in the process of applying for the SS so I doubt if all of us can answer that question.

Like I said earlier join or search for expatforum for NT and get more information that you needed, they also have a WhatsApp group but you have to ask questions in the forum up to 5 times for you to gain assess to the group.

All the best in your search

My little cent and finding about NT for you to get a 190 you must have a job offer and a close family/friend living in that place. Also the chances for 190 is 2/10 but you can never say you might be lucky to be among the few.

You can check expat forum on Nt to read more also
gurus in the house can help out too

@Utucheylee . Thank you so much for the reply I really appreciate it God bless you.
Pls has anyone been successful for the 190 or knows someone that has in Nt.
Thank you for assistance.

@Amanda0.
@bellong . Thank you so much for your response God bless you. About the Vetasses assessment I need a minimum of one year post qualification . I was thinking if it's possible to include my prior experience that was hr and administrative related for the assessment before I got my qualifications in human resources. I combined both hr and administrative roles in my work for 3 years as a hr and administrative officer this was why I went for master in hr. From march 2015 to this year march is one year post qualification should I apply now or later as I have been working consultancy jobs not full time and I was paid for it with my other experience do you think it would fly?
I have my undergraduate degree from Canada and post graduate is Australian degree gotten from Dubai Camus of Wollongong.
Thanks so much for your help and clarifications.

No one can confidently tell whether you will get a positive assessment or not until you try. However, with VETASSES, nothing like closely related. Your experience must match the description of the occupation you are nominating.

As per Northern territory, it is not a bad place contrary to whatever you may have read. An average Außie doesn't like it because it is hotter than the rest of the country, it has a tropical climate along with parts of Queensland(Northern part).

What you need for POF is clearly explained on their website. Not necessarily liquid cash. Anything that can translate to money.

That being said, I guess you should be more worried about your assessment at this stage than Northern territory.

South Australia also with certain conditions,
With vetasss I need at least one year work experience post qualification I have not worked in this area yet but have administrative work experience I stopped in 2013 for 3 years to do my masters.

Also ,2. can I pay domestic fee with the 487 visa what's the main difference with it and 190.
My husband is into business we just had our first child pls for people who have successfully crossed over to the territory 3. how did you do the pof and other documentations as per their requirements And what is life like in the territory ?
Here are my points for calculation
Age. 29

Hello everyone,trust you are all doing good,Thank God I had my baby boy via C-Section on Monday at HNMC,I used Dr Morgan,intially I was pissed about aving a repeat c section but I am glad a did cos my baby weighed 4.4kg,I don't think I could AV survived pushing him out of me. Everything went well,they were not able to give me epidural cos for some reason it wasn't staying so I was put to sleep. So far everything went well I am good and my baby is healthy no complications,I AV paid my bills paid,3k dr fees and 3500 hospital bills and 750 epidural,I was discharged and I got a letter from d hospital stating I AV performed my financial obligations,however I am still expecting the pediatrician's bill,when I called I was told my son's info wasn't yet in their billing system and I should check next week.
But I must say HNMC wasn't nice when it came to giving free things,I was give six 40mls similac,and 10 diapers and a pack of baby wipe. And they wore a top for my baby through out our 2 night stay,the top was old and worn out,I wished I had brought my own stuff from the start.
Anyway boy is doing good Alhamdulilah
Hey dear,
Congrats on your little one. Am using same hospital next month pls how soon do you get the letter from the hospital stating you have performed financial obligations I have paid my fees at the hospital and for epidural and doctor too.How did you see the services at the hospital particularly the nursing care and recovery room. I have heard they are stingy at the hospital too with freebies too bad. Pls is there a couch for someone to stay in the room cause I have my mother with but not sure where she can stay . Apart from the free stuff how do you see the services accommodation, food and nursing care.
Thank you.

Unless u av so much time on your hand to wait for the pead bill if not go to their office at the hospital and request for your bill or else dey might say u do not qualify for healthy baby package and give u d standard price after one month.
Hey dear,
I am due next month using Dr Xydas wanted to know more about the healthy baby package cause Shelly told me about it. Again how long before you can get zero balance from the hospital can you get it when leaving the hospital or soon after that. About birth certificate I heard you can get it after 24 hours of birth is that true.

@ amanda0,I used dr xydas.You do not have a choice but to use the hospital's pead group whilst you and ur baby are still in the hospital,dey wnt allow external pead to come and attend to the baby whilst u are still in d hospital. The hospitals pediatrician will just walk in to attend to the baby for d number of days u are dia or at least 4 2days.You will need to choose a pead after u av been discharged 4 a follow up 4 d baby.The pku is required to be done on d baby at birth den anoda one at 2weeks wch u can choose to do at the hospital lab or somwia else,d result will be sent to the pead u choose after u av been discharged. I hope I an answered your question. Pls note that u will be charged for some lab bills but d price isnt much.

Hi Jinglesbaby, was in Houston last April and met with managers of some of the apartment homes extremely close (within walking distance) to the hospital and Dr. Xydas office and after some interview sessions, a couple of them agreed based on certain conditions (like upfront payment) to rent 1b/2b apartments depending on my preference. The 1b which is my preference cost between $800 to $900/mth aside from other little fees like trash and water fee. There's also a refundable caution fee. To be honest, my physical presence in the US at that time made it extremely easy to discuss, negotiate and agreed with them on pricing. They however advised that we re-initiate further engagement a mth b4 arrival which would also necessitate actual payment.

Hope the foregoing provides detailed insight. Thanks

The hospital was great all together. As for the paediatric bills at NHMC, I don't think there's anything that can be done about it apart from 10% discount. After my hospital discharge I used a Texas Children's medical centre and paid like 120usd. My post partum checkup was covered in the doctor's bill.

Hey,
Thanks for your reply. So it is not possible to have your own doctor come to the hospital to check the baby? Can you give me an idea of what the bill will be like and what services they did on the baby. Is it according to what they do for the baby in the hospital?
