@Kike100,

You don't need IELTS to assess with VETASSES. You can go for the internal audit occupation but make sure his descriptions align with that of the ANZSCO description.

What did your husband study? He is better as the principal applicant.

how can one handle job offer requirement in 489 visa
The only way is to present a job offer letter.

Why are you considering 489?

I'm very sorry bellong and all.

I'm contacting EA before I brief the house on the outcome. My degree has not been assessed/commented on. Although I have a B.Tech.

Once again, pardon me.

Thanks.
No ill-feelings..

Let us know what EA says.
Goodluck

@bellong and all other gurus in the house

Please, we need a quick one on this...

Northern Inland (NSW) Regional Sponsor 489. Information about the regional areas will be highly appreciated.

In as much as we don't really encourage 489 visa on this forum. However, there are some set of people that couldn't meet up with the 60 points threshold after all permutations and combinations.

Thanks!
Unfortunately, I can't be of help on this occasion. I don't live in New South Wales, if I have to provide any information on the region, I would have to use Google which means we will arrive at the same conclusion if you also use Google.

Hello all,
Been following this thread for a while now

I just want to ask guys who have crossed over to that side to narrate their experiences...has ur dreams turned to fruition? How has ur experiences Been like while job hunting? Etc
Your question is ambiguous. Everybody has a reason for relocation, individual differs on why he/she chose to relocate, so streamlining experience into one sentence will not answer your question.

First, identify why you want to move. Some moved because they want to live in a sane environment, some for personal health, some to escape family drama and issues while majority relocated for economic prosperity.


In saying the above, your reason for relocation will determine whether the move worth it or not. However, irrespective of the reasons that initiated your relocation, you will definitely find what you are looking for in the long run.
If you are moving for economic prosperity, I wouldn't say you will get a job immediately you arrive but no matter what you will get something reasonable doing within the first six months "worst" case scenario. It is why the government advised that migrants bring enough resources for the first six months.
It doesn't mean you can't get a job immediately. South Australia has the highest rate of unemployment despite the statistics, I know people who got something doing within three weeks of arrival. No two people are the same, there are individual circumstances such as your employable skills, good resume, transferable skills, good cover letter and interview performance not forgetting networking which can land you a job faster than any other process.

In summary, understand why you are relocating so you will be able to measure if your dreams or expectations have been met. Then have a realistic expectations of what to get. The system is relatively fair to all except you are extremely ignorant. Be conversant with your work conditions and speak up against your employer if your rights are being trampled on or if you are being denied. No one has the right to bully you at work, if you are being bullied or discriminated against, you have the luxury of escalating it to the Work, Health and Safety (WHS) body in your state to mediate. This is without any repercussions against you.

For my own reasons, expectations are being met and for everyone in this country, things can only get better.

@Zanyzara,

Few people responded to your query but you chose not to acknowledge or respond to any. It is not courteous. Your response will help give further advice or information.

Nevertheless, contact EA, ask for which class of occupation will a mechanical engineering associate fall into. I can't see any occupation for a mechanical engineering associate. In addition, was your bachelor assessed to be equal to AQF Bachelors degree? If yes, irrespective of the occupation you are given, you can claim full point from qualification.

I hope you respond to this.

Physiotherapy board is different from the medical board. There is no point collaborating. Visit the physiotherapy board website for further information. I think the process for physiotherapist is not as cumbersome as those in Medicine.

Tito19,

He can nominate Electrical engineering draftsperson, it is both on the SOL and CSOL lists.

EA is the authority assessing it. Like previously said, he can write his CDR based on IT and school project while you balance the points from other areas.

No, you don't have to be COREN or other professional body registered before getting positive assessment as a professional engineer. You only need a bachelor degree and a good CDR.

@Zanyzara,

What it simply means is that your assessment outcome is an Engineering Associate. Your CDR didn't proof a professional Engineer according to them.

It is still positive, what did they say on your experience?

With the Engineering Associate, what I am not sure you get is if it will be an Engineering technologist or mechanical engineering draftsperson. I am not an engineer, so I may not be in the best position to give a definite response.

However, I believe you can ask EA for clarity. In addition, you can appeal the decision if uou know you can rewrite a convincing CDR.

question: after the two-weeks, whats the diet like, that is, can one begin to eat anything?

Any substitute for lemon?

Must the bread be toasted?

Must one use olive oil?
Eat less of carbohydrates and more of fat based died with enough vegetables.

Use lime if you can't get lemon.

Not compulsory but for better "enjoyment", u can toast it.

Yes

Congrats...your story is quite encouraging. I do need help with a couple of questions and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
i have the 476 temporary visa but i'm a bit curious on how realistic it would be to get a good job (i have a BSc in Chemical Engineering and a Masters in Offshore Pipeline Engineering but with little experience) with this visa class if i choose to relocate to Australia. Also, what are the chances to getting a PR with this visa class if i choose to relocate. I just need advice from fellow nairalanders who are more experienced, would it be reasonable to travel to Australia through this visa class?. Thanks
With all the info on this thread especially for Engineers and how their assessment seems easier compared to others, you are still asking this question?

I expect you by now to get assessment done and apply for PR straight or start the process when you arrive on your 476

Family › Re: Best Way To Discipline A Child Without Spanking by bellong: 10:10am On Nov 01, 2016
Timbuktuo:
When spanking is mentioned, do not picture being tied to your bunk while your parent lashes away ad infinitum. One smack to the bum is more than sufficient, and it only needs to be done occasionally. Some kids need a regular spank, like one smack every few months(about 3 single smacks a year), some need it once like yourself. Flogging a child with hate is abuse, which defeats the purpose of discipline, is counterproductive and risks instilling indisciline in the child. Any parent who flogs their child with anger, much less, hate lacks discipline themselves and will damage their child.
However, ruling out spanking is irresponsible. Not spanking when you should is just foolishness.
Aptly put.. Couldn't have been said better

As per custody, yes you can but you have to proof you have been taking care of them prior to their mother's death or you have been granted their custody by providing legal documents to support your claim.

What of their father?

@Ifexsco,

As a permanent resident, you can start a business if you want. The process of business registration is simple and straight forward. Go to Australian Taxation Office's (ATO) website, register for an ABN (Australian Business Number) just like an individual register for TFN.

Once you register for an ABN, you can start your business as you will then be charged tax as a business entity. It may not be that straight forward depending on the kind of business you plan to start but if it is buying and selling and other small businesses, the process is simple.

I may not be the best to issue advice as per business because my interest lies somewhere else. However, for every business, I know for sure that it is better to first understand your target market before jumping in. One of the best ways to make money in this country is to engage in government business through delivering social services which is what I am looking at.

You have to consider your interest, business appetite and knowledge before entering into the market. SO on what kind of business to do, I don't think anyone can offer advice to another on that as I do not know what you can do or where your interest lies but certainly you can start a business if you have the resources.

welcome back, I hope u had a wonderful celebration?
Thanks for your response.
I have altogether 12 years post Bachelors degree work experience, thought they only consider the. past 10 years of work experience, that is where my question is driving at. That means, I can submit Reference for the 12yrs I guess
Assessing authorities use the last 10 years to assess skills as that is reasonably recent. However, you can claim points for all your experience if the authority doesn't cut off some years from it like ACS normally do.
