Hello House, I need advise on Australia attempt relocation. I was nominated via TSS sub Class 482 and I submitted EOI form sent to me. I was sent a list of requirements and e-visa and advised to contact ABF case Officer for assessment, clearance a ND work permit. I have since sent a mail to the email provided but I am yet to hear from them after 48hrs.

pls how do I get a response from them and what do I send to them to elicit a response?

Your questions have so many confusion.

Firstly, who nominated you for the subclass 482 and which of the three streams were you nominated for?

Who sent you paper application?

Which evisa was issued and by whom?

Why do you need ABF assessment after being issued a visa?

I hope you have not paid the agent any money because scam is written over all these questions. It is likely you have been scammed.

All visas can be applied for online without going through the stress of paper application. The department is discouraging paper application for better management of the visa processing. You should ask for a refund now before you are scammed more.

Hi Belong, I'm on 70pts for 190 Actuary. Av created EOI for NSW. Can I give ACT a shot? What are my chances?
Age 30 PTE 20 Edu 15 WE 0. Pls advice.
Furthermore, is it advisable to contact NSW via email or callto inform that av created EOI as stated on their page?

My brother, give all the states nominating the occupation a shot. Your desire is to get here, when you arrive, you worry about permanent state of residence later.

I don't know the NSW process but follow the guidelines they have on their website.

Jewingle:
I need answers pls boss. Btw my degree was in Ghana .4 years.

Your CDR is not based on certificates or certifications you have but on your engineering knowledge of your nominated occupation. You should see EA's guidelines on writing a CDR (Competency Demonstration Report).

When you are here, you can choose any path for yourself. However, for any medical or human services occupation, my advice is to enter into it because of passion and not money.

My spouse's occupation is Supply Chain.

Ok. I asked to know if he would be in better position as the principal applicant. You are better as the principal applicant.

However, if you guys don't mind, South Australia sponsors supply and distribution manager on subclass 489.

densel:
Would you suggest I go for a closely related Skill level 2 occupation that requires AQF Associate degree like customer service manager (149212)?

If yes, how many education points will that fetch me as against B.Sc's 15 points.

1. Yes you should, provided you can align your skills with Anzsco job descriptions for the occupation. With VETASSES you must be able to align this well for positive assessment.

2. Associate degree is 10 points.

@Princesskiki,

Assess as a food technologist. The experience is still within the last 10 years. You don't need to add your MBA, it doesn't add anything to your application.

Good technology is a 5 year course in Nigeria. All five year courses irrespective of university are assessed to be equivalent to AQF Bachelor degree.

What is your spouse's occupation?

densel:
@ Bellong

I want to assess for marketing specialist 225113. I have a B.Sc marketing from Absu and over eight years experience but a friend on PR said her Msc from same school was assessed as a Bsc.

Please what options do l have? Can it be assessed as a Hnd or lower giving me 10 as against 15 points?

Marketing specialist is only sponsored by Northern Territory and their application process usually take between 9-14 months. You probably should find another closely related occupation.

However, if you want to go ahead, ABSU degree may likely be assessed to be equivalent of an AQF Associate degree. If that is the case, you may likely get a negative assessment because Marketing specialist is a Skill level 1 occupation which requires assessment as a bachelor degree. VETASSES doesn't do experience in lieu of qualification.

kadripete:
Hello house! Got a "Further employment clarification required" email from Vetas where they requested for physical address of the company
Also number of staff employed
what are the departments within the company and in which department i work and
which project are your currently working on. I'll like to ask best correspondence to respond. Should I get my Manager to write them providing the requested details in company's letter head or should I write these information in plain A4/email? Thanks

Your manager can respond on the company's letter head. You also can write yours in response to the email.

If you have any documents to support some of the questions and answers, do not hesitate to include them as attachment.

Kentz3:
Hello I greet every1 in this thread ,I have some questions I need answers to pls ,my brother has bsc in computer engineering ,and a Toelf ibt result ,age 34 ,3years experience working with an IT firm ,what are his chances. Of getting a PR ...and do Aussie accept Toelf for PR application?

Have you read the thread?

MzPearl1914:
Good day house. I need clarification on fees payable to VETASSESS please. How much am I to pay exactly to VETASSESS. Thanks.

I have no idea but I am confident it is clearly written on VETASSES' website. Get the information from their website.

@topacs,

Since you already submitted, what you can do is wait.

With TRA, you still meet the qualification required if your experience can proof you meet the anzsco job description for the occupation, you should be fine.

@farnet,

1. Nominate electrical engineering. You don't need your Coren certification for a positive assessment. What you need is a convincing CDR showing your skills as an electrical engineering.

2. If you have no paper evidence from both the company or third party, don't claim the experience. However, you can put the experience as unpaid (volunteer role).
Yes, by December after assessment, once it is 8 years, the system automatically awards 8 years points. No reassessment required. That is if there is no deduction of experience from EA.

3. Skills assessment expiry date is not set by the assessing body, it is a migration act. Under the act, a skills assessment is valid for only three years after which you will have to do a reassessment. It is not an EA policy but the Migration Act regulations.

@Jewingle,

Yes, you will be eligible to apply for PR provided you have a positive assessment from Engineer Australia which I believe you can with a good CDR.

However, considering invitations in the last few months, with 65 points, you will be on a long queue except you get a state or regional nomination. You can be in the queue with your qualification.

The PR process doesn't give any recognition to your class of degree as long as your certificate says you graduated. What matters with EA is writing a solid CDR. With the introduction of the new regional visa coming up in November, you may easily get a regional nomination by then. I will advice you get started with the process with English test and skills assessment. You can only be in the game to win the game.

Goodluck bro.

afosahid:
What is your take regarding the flu jabs usually given at most work places ahead/during the cold season. Not sure, but i think i remember reading an advice not to take it. Just want to sample different opinions on the subject and what is your reason for taking or refusing to take the vaccine. Thanks

I usually get running nose during the rainy season in Nigeria. It was so bad when I served in Jos due to their round the year cold season. When I arrived Australia in May which is pre-winter season, I had this terrible running nose accompanied with headache similar to my experience in Jos. I won the war when winter was over.

The following year while working with South Australia Police, the flu jab was compulsory, had the jab and I never experienced the running (runny) nose trouble. The jab saved me. However, in the following year, I took the jab elsewhere, I still had the same challenge which means, the vaccine is not as strong as the previous one or the problem has developed resistance against the vaccine.
I didn't have a jab last year and I experienced very minimal trouble with the nose.

I do know that vaccines are designed to wage war against certain virus while killing some antibodies in the system. There have been series of allegations and counter allegations against the vaccine. Previously in a state, a particular jab gave a young girl traumatic brain injury which led to the discontinuation of that particular vaccine. The girl could have been allergic to the content of the vaccine because there was no widespread effect of the same problem.

My opinion is that each family should weigh their options and do the best for their families. The jab could be a lifesaver and it may not contribute anything to fight against the flu. The flu in this country could be very dangerous as it has killed a lot of people. The best antidote is going natural. While winter is very mild in this country, you still have to take care of yourself, keep warm, don't be stingy with heating and let the house be warm. Drink herbal tea, hot pepper soup, eat a lots of fruit and you will be fine.

Some vaccines are better stayed away from.

Bossladyorigina:
Hello everyone,

Has anyone tried making payment for Visa Application this week without success because the payment portal isn't going through?

Please do respond.

Have you been able to make the payment?

@Mobiss,

It is very pertinent to have a third party evidence of employment which include one of tax certificate, pension statement or bank statement. If you get through the assessment without it, you may likely not get through main application stage without it and that will amount to PR visa denial.

It is either you stick to the three years experience as paid and the other two as unpaid or talk to the head office to sort something out for you.

@Thementors27,

The last time I read AITSL website, experience was not compulsory but it is very compulsory to have done teaching practice for one year which must be part of of the school curriculum as evidenced in your transcript. If you have that and the IELTS requirement, (theirs is different - they require band S-8, W-8, R-7, L-7) you are good to go.

The question about your husband, the occupation he nominates depends on what he does at the agro allied company. However, I am not sure if VETASSES will accept Agricultural Engineering for a consultant experience. The agric people may provide you with further guidance on that.


@Aby774u,

Go to Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) website for instructions on how to go about the skills assessment. I cannot provide advice on the disparity of your qualification and experience. You can talk to TRA about it and other things needed for a successful skills assessment as a plumber.

GoodMemory:
Feedback on traffic fine.

I wrote them but they declined to waive it. They reiterated that driving through the red light was a grave offence and quoted all the sections in the manual etc.

So, I have no option but to pay.

Ok. Well, at least you tried and it extends the payment period. If you want, you can choose to pay in installments like $50/month.



Good trip you had. I am hoping in the very near future, I will be able to travel round the country in a caravan. I have only done Sydney - Adelaide, Adelaide - Melbourne - Canberra - Sydney and Adelaide - Perth.

Long drive is interesting and fun with the roads except for the speed limit which I consider ridiculously too low @110km/h for the freeways. I usually do over the limit though where I am sure there are no cameras and no mobile cameras. When I want to go on a long drive, I do check the websites of all the State Police I will pass through for where mobile cameras will be stationed each day.

Hopefully I can find people who will be interested in doing the country tour to move in a group.

ChampXC:
1. Can I do additional EOI on regional 489 without withdrawing the EOI on family sponsor?
2. Can I request the selected region via communication before or after the submission of EOI to expedite my nomination?
Please assist with your kind response and counsel once more as I don't want to give up at this time. I welcome any region in any State that you could suggest to me.

Regards

1. I am not completely sure but I know you can tick all subclass and options you are interested in while filling the EOI.

2. Each region has its own process and requirements, it will be appropriate to first check the website of your region of interest to understand their process.

Northern Territory, Tasmania and Victoria sponsor Mechanical engineering. It is on special conditions in South Australia. Apply to all the states, don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Cheers

Hi Bellong,

My skill assessment as a Materials Engineer will expire by December this year but am still struggling with my English exams (For now it's LRWS 7777.5)

I need assistance on how to chase this 489 Aussie migration option based on my discipline as a Materials Engineer.

Thank you in advance.

Only South Australia sponsors Materials Engineer and it is on special conditions.

LadyHeaven:
Hello FAM please where can one get sample CDR's to guide in writing theirs? I need to see an example to better understand the format needed, i would appreciate.

You should find a guide on Engineer Australia's website.

successisme:
My background;
1. Education - BSc Systems Engineering
2. Work Experience - 9 yrs post NYSC as a business analyst / project manager at a software firm

From all I've read it seems that I have to do my ACS assessment for ANZSCO code 261111 using the RPL route, since my qualification and my work experience do not match. (Please correct me if I've come to the wrong conclusion).

Also, can anyone help me out with a sample of a submitted RPL? I would really appreciate it...

Thanks

CC: Alphadoor.

@ChampXC,

1. Your sponsor family cannot do anything to expedite the process apart from the nomination. This is where a state regional sponsor is better.

2. According to the Migration Regulations 1994 (amended) from July 1, 2014, a skills assessment is valid for three years from the date of issue except a shorter period is indicated on the assessment.

I think you should chase a 489 from any region as November 2019 is almost here.

@Ogeka,

If your experience is more about repairing cars, I will suggest you nominate a motor mechanic. You have faster chance of invitation than mechanical engineering.

You will still be able to claim 15 points from education.

@Olinga,

1. Some do contact your office for confirmation while others may not provided you supply enough evidence to support your employment.

2. You don't need introduction letter from your employer if they refuse to issue you a reference letter. What you can do is a statutory declaration of employment and certify it before a JP or in court. The declaration will include all information that should be on employment reference letter with additional explanation on why you can't get the reference letter. You will include a contact person preferably your direct line manager. A copy of the declaration is attached to this thread or the first thread (opening page). I believe your company wouldn't deny you don't work there they are contacted for confirmation.

3. It will be unwise to do so. It may not go through the scrutiny of Home affairs during the main application. I don't think it will be wise to waste such thousands of dollars. No point using a false experience when you have the real experience. Your company have no right to deny you don't work for them when they are contacted. If you know your right, it is a subject for big litigation.

Go ahead and use your real experience. Use a statutory declaration of employment and add other evidence including payslip, bank statement, tax certificate, pension statement, confirmation and promotion letter and anything to substantiate the employment.

Marshall008:
Hello my good people, Please I need your Professional advice on this:

I've got an Engineering background with engineering job experience, which I was able to locate it on the skilled list of Visa category 189, but My partner, had a Science Lab Tech background with Sales Representative work experience, which I couldn't locate it on the same skilled list of 189, but I found her own on Subclass 187. How can I still get the 5 points under partner?


please, I need your advice.

For a start, you need to rewrite your English test for a 20 point score.

Subclass 187 is not an independent skill visa.

Dipsong:
hello pls can I pm you i want to ask you some questions, its off this thread but still about Australia @bellong

sole26:
Can I pm u pls? We need to talk.

I will appreciate you ask your question here or the other thread.

Thanks

Olinga:
I'm sorry

Thank you... Hope you found answer to what you seek?

Olinga:
HI Chike please I sent you a PM.

You don't have to quote the whole message.

luvluvluv:
They said the phone number I gave them could not be linked to the company.

I was always with my boss those periods and he told me he didn't get any email.
Am also afraid my company doesn't have a functional website. Would it be wise if I get them to create one?

I truly do not know how to go about this.

Is your company registered with the CAC? I don't understand what they meant by the number couldn't be linked to the company. However, I will advice you include your company's contact number and supervisor's number. Provide every possible information that confirms the existence of your company..

If they didn't raise the point about your work experience more closely related to motor mechanic than fitter, I would have told you to appeal the decision. I can't kick against their field of expertise.

Reapply as a motor mechanic based on their recommendation, add all work experience documents and wait.

luvluvluv:
Hello,

Jus got -ve outcome from tra on reasons :

Unable to verify employment
Job role fits more as a motor mechanic and not a fitter.

Pls what should be my next line of action?

I am sorry about the unpleasant outcome.

1. They couldn't verify your employment maybe because your supervisor/manager or whoever you put down didn't respond to the email TRA sent.

2. If that is what they advised, reapply as motor mechanic than a fitter. Motor mechanic is also on 189 and sponsored by some states.

When you reapply this time, ensure you keep telling your boss to check his email. Include any and every evidence you have to support your employment.

Goodluck
