Thank you @tunlex01

Please @here is there anyone that has accessed from any of the bodies for Bsc accounting from UNN?

Can you get at least 85 points? You will need very high points as accountant to have hope of making it to the invitation round.

Are you single or married?

@Bnimz @Alphadoor@belong, I need your assistance, already have a positive assessment as a chemical Engineer so thinking of doing another assessment for other professional engineer nec or Civil engineering drafperson or petroleum. Please I need your guidance

Why do you want to change? Is the other option closely related to chemical?

@ tunlex @ belong, made a similar mistake but mine wasn't deliberate. In my eoi I mistakenly answered yes when asked about Australian Qualification requirement, thinking they asked if my qualification is recognized by Australia for immigration purpose. I became worried when my total point increased by 5 points, since then I was unable to access my immi account to know the breakdown. Shortly I was invited by Western Australia through general scheme schedule 1(overseas). I almost fainted on Sunday when I succeeded in accessing my account for the first time to discover the 5 points was allocated to Australian Qualification requirement.
I was invited for nomination on November and the invitation point was 65, after deduction of the 5 points, my point is still above the cut off.
I have written to them(WA) to explain my predicament.

My questions are as follows.
1. For nominating me as an overseas candidate not minding my error, does it mean they recognized it as mistake since nowhere in eoi stated I schooled in Australia?
2. For informing them immediately before the outcome of the nomination application. Will it solve the problem.

NB: I have already updated my eoi and my point is still above the Nov. Cut off.

1. No, they believe you answered the questions correctly. The onus of ensuring your application is correct is on you.

2. Your application is still with WA so the error can still be corrected. First, amend your EOI and then wait for the outcome of your email to WA.

You must provide evidence for all the points you vlaim in the EOI at the final application stage.

chebyshev:
Not all of them. Do you mean I should submit EOIs even if my occupation is not nominated in those states?

,

I meant states sponsoring your no NM inated occupation.

RealPontif:
Okay! Thanks.

1. First, there is a genuine reason for the inability to provide the pension and tax documents. So, my question is, can you make one Statutory Declaration document stating proofs and why you're unable to provide the tax and pension informations, (inside one Statutory Declaration document)? i.e one Stat. Decla. document for both tax and pension.

Do you get?

2. Second, if the payments were made by hand (cash), can you still make a payslip for it?

Thanks.

Tax certificate is a government issued document, no excuse will be tenable.


Yes, you can make a payslip if you worked for someone. For self-employed, it is not necessary.

chebyshev:
@belong, assessment and English done and having 70 points for 491 and 60 point for 190. Occupation is chemical engineer and EOIs already submitted for 491 visa for WA,SA and VIC. Any advise ?

Have you visited the migration website of each state to submit expression of interest?

Other than that, if you don't have 20 points from English, try to redo it to go above 65 points and submit for 189 too.

oyetpel:
Ok sir, thank You.

So that means everything is sure once ITA is received?

ITA is 99.9% visa barring individual's mess up with their paperwork and documents.

oyetpel:
Please is it after assessment and EOI that one has to pay 4k+ AUD? Or before?

Visa application fee is paid when you receive invitation to apply at the point of submission.

Your initial concern should be getting assessment and Englidh test out of the way.

RealPontif:
What did you say is okay to do?

Also, I have never had a task certificate. But recently, due to this SA program, I went to inquire as to what is required to obtain a tax certificate, I was frightened by the amount of money they charged me. Is that how huge it costs because I do not have such money at the moment considering that I have a lot to pay for, for the Skill Assessment (SA) program?

Isn't there a way to circumvent this or at least to make it much more affordable?

There is no way to circumvent it. For every claim you make in your application, you must provide supporting evidence. Evidence of payment is usually given proper attention.

Please I need list for the food items allowed by the authority....

Quarantine staff in Western Australia are ridiculous with what they accept or reject. Whatever you bring, package it like it was bought from a company with labels. Make sure you bring only food items you will not be worried if tossed away.

momamorgz:
Good day Nairalanders,
Please i will be arriving Perth in few weeks and I need help with accomodation. Please any help will be so appreciated .
Thank you.

Are you travelling alone or with family?

The rental market is extremely competitive right now, you will likely need to book airbnb for few weeks.

Use www.realestate.com.au for real estate agents advertised rentals.

Facebook market and www.gumtree.com.au for private landlord listed ads.

DO NOT PAY ANY DEPOSIT TO ANYONE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE except someone is physically present to assist you with the process.

Do you have any specific suburb in mind?

Been running his own registered business

This is not enough information. What sort of business?

And how about you, your qualification and experience?

Good evening house

@bellong, @tunlex

How long is the usual wait time for feedback on PR after medicals and visa payment


Thanks for the expected reply

Well, the average wait time of recent is 3-6 months. However, each application is treated individually and may wait for up to 2years.

Deprofessional:
Good morning Bellong.

I sent you a message in your in box.

Please, respond to the message, I have a private question to ask you before I take a life changing decision.

Have a nice day.

Deprofesssional.

My response bounced back, says your yahoo address couldn't be found. Guess there is a problem with your email.

Please, once you sort your email, the question must be what has not been addressed on this thread and very personal, otherwise I wouldn't respond.

Regards

Acquiredollars:
Thank you for your response sir.

So, without skillset assessment, she can't get a teaching job right?

The skills assessment does not automatically grant her right to work as a teacher. Even if she has a positive assessment, she is still not eligible to teach. For her to teach, she needs to be registered with the registration council in states/territories.

The skills assessment only gives the opportunity for skilled migration. Google teacher registration for overseas qualification in any of the states for requirements.

RealPontif:
Hello, @Bellong. Sorry I had to crash your question but I think your question may apply to me.

Yes, please. It is registered but i don't have a separate account for it. If it is cheque, I simply pay into personal accouunt or collect the full cash or have them make a transfer.

Does the payment shows that it is payment for your service? If it does, it is ok and you add tax certificate too.

PrettyEdnacious:
Hello dear,

Please am new to this thread and I need help with the entire process.
I will be glad of you can help out. Is there a telegram group for this Australia Japa

The help you need is on the first three pages of the thread.

First read and ask specific question. It is a do it yourself thread.

tunlex01:
Boss, what about the date (27th April 2022) stated in the preceeding paragraph?

I missed that. He should get clarity from ACS. But I believe these guys have been instructed to stop this deduction of experience when someone is rightly qualified for the occupation.

If it is what it means, he can't claim the 5 points

mojolajesu:
Hello People,

I am concerned about my skills and education.

I studied Civil Engineering in my Undergraduate and currently working within the IT sector. For my skills Assessment, I am looking at Computer Network and Systems Engineer cause that is closely related to what I a doing now.

My issue now is that ACS will access my skills relative to my degree and there is no correlation at all. I also have only about 3 years experience. Could there be away around this? Anybody please help

You can assess as a civil engineer without claiming experience points. You can use your thesis and internship to write the CDR.

For ACS, since you don't have qualification in ICT, ACS will require some years in lieu of experience.

armani07:
I applied for Visa 190 which I claimed 70points..Although Skill employment point is not part of it because I don't really understand this ACS assessment below. Please with the assessment below, can I claim the 5points for (at least 3 but less than 5 years) of Overseas skilled employment(

Yes, you can claim the 5 points. The outcome says those years meet experience at the appropriate level for the stated years.

Dking29:
Hello All,
I have been preparing to lodge application for skill assessment with VETASSES until yesterday when I read something that’s discouraging based on my peculiar family issues that I need advice on. I have a three year old son that’s suspected to have autism though no official diagnosis have been given. He has most of the signs and I personally think he is. Also, my wife was diagnosed of rheumatoid arthritis earlier this year. I read about Australia refusing PR based on similar health issues and I don’t want to waste money and it ends in that. I am the main applicant and have no medical issue.

Please is there anybody here that had similar issues or knows anyone that did and was successful?

Please I need advice from experienced folks.

Applicants and dependents who don't pass the medical examination are usually denied visa because according to them, they will constitute significant cost to tax payers. However, I don't think the medical examination conducted will identify if a child has autism or your wife has arthritis.
Autism may be considered a significant cost to the economy but it is not what the test will identify except you tell the panel doctors that you suspect he has autism.

The medical examination check significant visible disability, organ issues etc. The X-ray included is for the chest check for TB and other diseases, it doesn't target the joint to identify if there is a presence of rheumatoid arthritis.

Temmybuky:
Hi everyone, please I have some concerns that require the input of experts in the house. I did Master of telecommunication engineering in Australia, and I have gotten a positive assessment with EA for Telecom Engineer through it. Also, I have already done an expression of interest in that skill in some states in Australia without claiming points for work experience because of some complexities involved from my employers in Nigeria. But I changed my career during COVID-19, and I have been working as DevOps/Cloud Engineer for more than a year now. I know I will have to do an assessment with ACS on the new job, but I am getting confused about it. I am thinking of claiming 5 more points for working in Australia for 1-3 years to boost my point. Is anyone in a similar situation please help.

Please, what can I do?
@bellong
@tunlex01

Your immediate worry should be getting a positive assessment from ACS before thinking of claiming work experience. ACS is known to reduce work experience depending on your qualification and how long you have been in the occupation.

Meanwhile, if you get a positive assessment from ACS with your years of service approved, you can claim the Australian work experience points

NHQGUY:
I claimed points for it. 8years experience.
Getting tax certificate is not working out.
If i choose to use my bank statement, do I need to generate a bank statement covering the whole 8years?

You don't have to print the whole 8 years. Print the first 6 months, 3 months from each year and last 6 months.

You can add your pension fund statement to it and payslips.

Olubukolaalice:
Thank you so much�

In addition to this, ensure that you submit your application as soon and as early from when you send the transcript. This is to enable them to match your transcript to the application. If they get your transcript without the application, it is difficult to know whose transcript it is. They can only view your application details when it is submitted

Prettiepearlz:
But this other employer that he or she mentioned is in the UK not Australia.

Visa 186 is an employer sponsored permanent resident. The OP asking if Tasmania is a good city to reside indicates a plan to not reside in Tasmania if not recommended as the best place to live.

I supposed that the question to ask should be about Tasmania and the city where the sponsored organisation is located.

Jayboi:
To be honest, my wife is not ready to sit down and study any ielts. And I believe it will reduce the points. U mean the PR path for her and my kid will be an issue.

Adding her to your application will not jeopardize it even if she doesn't want to sit for IELTS. If need be, letter from her school that her education was in English will suffice.

The hurdles to cross in bringing her later will be too cumbersome to cross and worry about.

kontrieman:
Good day, Bellong and other leaders in the house,

I am done filling in the necessary information on the VETASSESS portal, but I am having challenges making the required payments for the skill assessment. Please, kindly, guide me on how to make payment from Nigeria.

I have been reliably informed that I can not use my Nigeria master card to do such payment, and barter shut down their virtual dollar card service recently.

Please, how do I go about making payment? Guide me

I believe you have sorted this. Follow the advice given to you earlier.

[quote author=Silentthinker post=118579501][/quote]For fairness and equity, you should work with the company that nominated you for at least two years before thinking about looking for another state.

The organisation offered to nominate you with the hope that you will work for them. While the 186 doesn't restrict you to the employer, it is only fair if you stay with the employer for two years as a thank you.


To answer your questions:

1) Is tasmania a good place to live?

Depends on your definition of good place, Tasmania is a nice place. If the organisation is located in Hobart, it is a nice harbour town but becoming very expensive. Relatively very safe too and not too crazy winter.


(2)what's the cost of living over there?

The cost of living in Tassie is increasing like the other states. Average cost of rent for a 3 bedroom per week is between $380 - $400. You can check www.realestate.com.au for advertised rents.

Groceries prices are increasing by the day with the capitalist hiding under rising inflation to jack up prices of food. For an average family of 3 expect to spend between $500-900 monthly on groceries if purchasing in organised departmental stores.


(3)Are schools free for children ?

Public schools will be free for your kids. However each state has a sort of levy parents pay to support the school. Something about $500/year or less depending on the school.

(4)Hope non medical Jobs are easy to come by (for my husband) ?

Tasmania is a civil service state. Non-medical jobs are not easy to come by but he will eventually get something for sure. However, he could be lucky and get something good immediately.

There is a sizable Nigerian community in Tasmania you can be connected with to assist you in settling down.

All the best.
