Hello Tunlex, Bellong

I just realized that the reason why my visa 489 application has remained stagnant is because Home Affairs sent a mail to my employers to verify my employment since January 2020 and they didn’t reply this message till today. It is now over 2 years and I’m just finding out today. I am heartbroken and confused on what next to do. Please I have attached the mail and will appreciate your advices

They should respond with an apology and state it was skipped.

It is not too late. The CO should have sent a reminder or follow up with a call, maybe they ignored the reminder email too.

Voice234:
Inclusive of NYSC I have 7years of experience. I was invited with 70points and it includes 10points for experience

Since you will still have same points without the NYSC experience, there is nothing to worry about. There would have been a problem if your points will reduce without it.

For the benefit of those reading, any experience you are sure you cannot get evidence for, tick not relevant in the appropriate box to it rather than create issue that shouldn't arise.

Voice234:
@bellong and @tunlex any response please ?

How many years of experience do you have? How many points were you invited with and how many experience points does that include?

yousee:
Please when paying for the assessment on EA, which is it?
1. Standard competency demonstration report OR
2. Competency demonstration report plus
relevant skilled employment ASSESSMENT.

Thanks

1. If you are not claiming any experience

2. If you are also assessing experience

Reasons for companies relocating musnt be cos of parts, it can be caused by any logistics other than that.
They can choose to play solidarity card with their Western subsidiaries. That's it.

Just to make it look they are disgruntled by the Russian actions even when dey are actually not... But have to play along so they don't enter d black list of the agitating European block and there Western counterparts.

It's just like Nigeria closing it's embassy in Russia cos of the situation in Ukraine...
Yes Nigeria can. But for wot reason? Simply to buy favour from West and in the eyes of the world.

If they can't source for parts or sell the products they manufacture, what do you suggest they do?

VirileNelly2420:
Where did u see dat? Na so una deydoctor information upandan
Go back and take another look at d news. This time, read slowly nd carefully!

Western sanctions imposed on Russia since the beginning of the Ukraine offensive have heavily disrupted supply chains affecting mostly technology and car manufacturing sectors.

The truth is with all the sanctions, no technological driven company can survive as some vital parts are sourced from Western Europe, Japan and the USA. It is no given that all the manufacturers are leaving. I don't think it their leaving is about the war but incapability of manufacturing to meet minimum standard due to availability of parts.

@ bellong and Tunlex...I have a concern o,and I need ur help..am gathering all my documents for TRA as I have already started the process..the only issue now is my tax clearance.i am evaluating for 5yrs,but my tax clearance certificate available is only for 3yrs .This is so because Lagos state currently can only provide tax clearance certificate for only 3yrs ,I want to ask if it can fly
Note:the rest documents are intact
Payslip:5yrs
Pension statement:5yrs available
Bank statement:5yrs available
Tax clearance:3yrs

You are good to go. You already have a third party document (bank statement and pension). The tax certificate is an icing on the cake not an absolute requirement once you have one of the third party. The tax certificate only settles all doubt.

Goodluck mate...

Pls Op kindly advice how one with these can proceed his application and successful get into oz

The first step is to read the thread from the start. Then check the occupation list to look for an occupation that fits or closely align with your experience.

Once you identify an occupation, visit the assessing authority's website to read requirements for assessment. Then you are good to go.


If you read and follow the instructions on the thread, you will likely not have any difficulties following through.

I’m yet to get ITA as I’ve not started the process. I just want to understand the step by step process. I’m an English graduate and I’ve been doing customer care jobs. How ever I want to apply as a chef. Can that suffice? Kindly assist guys ��

Your first step is to read the thread.

meetme01:
I need your advice.

I have Masters in Social (MSW) Community Development is my Speciliazation written on my certificate.

I work as a Social Welfare Officer and aced my IElTS. My assessment is the gridlock.

I can see Social Work on 189 and 190. The accessing body is AASW which has a very long process.

However, that of AIWCW (Welfare and Community Worker) is liberal. I have all the documents.

Can I assess my credentials with AIWCW and use for Social Work since my major in Social Work.?

Or

I wait till I get a province for Welfare and Community Workers.?

Kindly advise.

You cannot apply for an occupation you have not been assessed for. If you assessed for a welfare/community worker, then your EOI must be in that occupation.

Meanwhile, the occupation you get visa with does not limit the kind of jobs you can do when you are in the country. You can work as a social worker if you can sell yourself.

In the meantime, I will advice that you to consider your options properly and assess for occupation that will get you ITA faster.

Voice234:
Good morning house and great job @Tunlex01, got ITA on the 6.10.2022, Mechanical Engineer. Currently applying and I was told to list my addresses in the past 10yrs. how far can this go; would it include every hostel/lodge I lived in while schooling, NYSC and masters?

Secondly I wrote another IELTS before the ITA, which has a higher score, can I substitute it for the former IELTS I use in my EOI that gave me this ITA even when it's yet to expire ??

Include address you lived in for more than 3 months.

Even if you add IELTS with higher score, it will be irrelevant as your application will be treated based on the points you were invited with. No need to start complicating your matter for something that wouldn't add any value to your application.

baresi22:
Thank you so much. That is what I have decided to do. I called them after posting this and I was told to draft a cover letter and apply.Me self come tire... I had to explain the situation again to the Department of home affairs staff and I got the same response. It seems that they are bending their rules cos they need people.

Customer service centre has been outsourced to a private company. The people you talked to are contractors for DHA not case officers.

Anosky:
Pls kindly with this EOI question;
Are there any family members the client will include in the future? If we have only one child w would the answer be 1 or does it include the spouse and the child making it 2?

Aside unborn children, do you have any qualified family members you are not including in the application now but may include later?
If your answer is NO, then it is no.

Please wat will i select

You selected the appropriate option. The first one.

kontrieman:
While checking the List of Required Document on VETASSESS Page. Concerning Transcript, they stated that;

NIGERIA
A verified copy of the award certificate and full academic transcript must be sent in a sealed envelope from the awarding body directly to VETASSESS.

For Priority Processing, the verified documentation must have reached VETASSESS by registered courier mail at the time you lodge your application.

Until I came across this, I had always believed that I only have to upload a scanned copy of the school certificate while I request my school to send my transcript to them by post...

Please, does this mean that they also expect my school to include a verified copy of your certificate with my Transcript and post it to them?

If I upload a scanned copy of my school certificate and instruct my school to post the transcript alone, would that suffice ?

I finished from OAU, and I don't think they have a procedure for including verified award certificate with academic transcript

Bellong and other Leaders in the House, kindly guide me

When you request for your transcript from exams and records, give them a photocopy of your certificate. They will stamp this photocopy with OAU stamp and note copy of the original on it. This stamped copy will be included in your transcript when posting.

Hello Oga bellong, I sight you. You're highly welcome back sir. You abandoned us all these while o.

You've set some really good records (of attending to everyone questions, irrespective of their background, tribe, color, qualities) that had kept this thread to thrive to these days.

I respect your personality for the above.

Good to have you back healthy and strong. Once again, welcome back sir!

Thanks bro, we thank God for life. Many waters have passed through the ocean but the Ocean is still vibrant.

Hope things are going well for you? You should be closer to being in Australia now I guess.

Decentdave:
Please House ,I need someone to help me with a sample of career episode for fitter general abeg. I no one fill nonsense

Fitter general assessment is with TRA, CDR is not required. You should visit the TRA website to update yourself on what you need.

TefC1plug:
Please guys, is there any known way to contact Australia immigration. I and my son did the biometrics here in Lagos for a visitors visa, my son's own still shows arrange biometrics, like his biometrics have not been done and its up to 3 weeks. Please how can i reach them

It could be a system error. If it is not received,. You will be contacted by DHA.

Hilderbrand:
I uploaded all needed documentations as stated on the vetassess page. Promotion Letters, Payment proof, Marriage Cert, Passport and all the rest. Yet to pay but i want to know if my spouse will be called so she can be better prepared.

No one knows if VETASSES will call your spouse. It is the decision the CO in charge of the assessment makes independently. It is not everytime they call.
However, if they call, I don't think there should be anything to fear provided everything submitted is genuine.

Hello Good evening, thank you so much for this.. I started this diet yesterday. I used grilled chicken in place of steak is that okay? Just one lap. And I boiled fish in place of salami.. Is this okay?

Secondly I steamed my veggies.. Steamed spinach can't pass through my throat, talk more of raw.. The thought alone I feel like puking.. I steamed just our normal vegetables just for about 3mins or less.. Can I do that too? Tho I plan to improvise with cabbage..
Omoo I was waying 93 on day 1 morning, now it's 91kg.. I can't even believe it.. When my scale is at 89 I will believe it's true.. This is too fast abeg

Then again, why can't I continue this diet more than 3wks? It's day 2 shaa but I feel full except for when I'm hungry and it's as if my body is shaking inside.. Lmao.. If love to do the diet 3wks or 1month..maybe add little regular food to it by week 4..

Hello,

How did it go? Hope you achieved your aim.

Cheers

Fake news.

There's no rank in the Army with "Lieutenant Commander".

Command and Staff college is a military school for the whole Armed Forces (Army, Navy and Airforce). They have staff across the forces.

Lt Commander is a rank in the navy. While the report may not be true, the rank is not the evidence to dismiss the report.

Hello Great People,

@tunlex01, @bellong and others please I will appreciate your suggestions.

No, don't keep them out of the application. The process to apply for spousal visa is strenuous and more expensive aside that it takes very long time except you are very lucky.

They don't have to go with you once visa is approved, only have to activate the visa on or before the deadline for arrival day.

Whatever you do, don't leave them out of your application.

BADNEAT:
Having an error while trying to lodge ..
I’m not claiming work experience, do I still need to fill out my work history ??
Because bit brings up an error after ticking experience in the last ten years and clicking next

Don't tick you have experience in the last 10 years. Tick no to it.

Alternatively, put in the experience you have and tick not relevant so it will not count towards experience point.

LondonBook:
Thanks for this reply. The assessment was for Commercial Cookery and it came out positive in 2019 (that time, there was need to have (Nigerian Diploma = AQF Cert III with 3 years experience). As at the time of assessing it in 2019, it was about 4yrs experience so no work experience point was given. Now that there is an extra 3yrs Australian experience [Same work Place and Same Cook], do you think 10points for 3yrs Australian experience is claimable when submitted to DHA without asking for the experience to be assessed by Assessing body ? Thank you for your time.

Yes, you can claim 10 points since you are still in the same occupation and same workplace.

LondonBook:
Please... What I want to know is this, the Australian experience was not assessed for points with vetassess but just the qualification and the important 3 years post study experience needed to have a positive outcome. Do you think DHA will approve points for the new "unassessed" Australian experience gotten years after the assessment?

So I understand you, your assessment was completed using the first 3 years of work experience prior to having Australian experience right?

If that is so, all experience post assessment that are within the same occupation will count towards experience points. Yes, you can use them for Australian experience points if gotten within Australia.

In your assessment outcome letter, VETASSES would have noted two things at least
1. One year qualifying experience deducted from your experience.
2. Experiences not relevant to occupation being assessed will not count towards the assessment.

LondonBook:
Please how long did this take and how much was charged ***asking for a friend ***

I wasn't the one who requested, BADNEAT did. I don't know the amount charged but the letter will be reissued same day or next depending on the time you request for the letter.

Regards

Good day peeps! Am 32 years, single, medical doctor with 5 years work experience, IELTS GT LRWS 8.5/9/7.5/7.5. Assessment as a doctor could be a long thing, and I will appreciate advice on the options I have for a quick invitation to apply.

Are you also an electrician?

I will advice that you write PLAB, work in the UK for one year and then use that to move to Australia.

Hello People,

This is my first time here. I have gone through the previous chat and here is my profile.

Female
Age- 34
Degree - M Art Human Resource Management (University of Hertfordshire UK) , CIPD (UK)
Work Experience - Human Resources, Currently a manager with total 8 years of experience
Status - Married
IELTS - 7.5

Spouse

I have checked, and I noticed both Jobs are on the sight132311: Human Resource Manager and 272312: Educational Psychologist

Please what is the next process? I will really appreciate any help or insight. Thank you

You can assess for human resource manager. Your husband is working as an educational consultant which is quite different from educational psychologist except he has had prior experience as an educational psychologist in the last 10 years. He will not get a positive assessment for educational psychology.
