Thank you Jesus. All Glory be to God.
Special thanks to everyone of you that make up this community rendering selfless services to complete strangers. May God bless you all and make your dreams come true. To all those still waiting- God has a plan for you. It may tarry, but wait for it. It will happen in its time and will equally be as glorious. No such thing as delay with God.

Didn't know it will take this long hence my reason for quoting my old post. "He has made everything beautiful in its time...." Ecc 3:11
I learnt patience mehn! I also experienced different episodes during the wait. The last episode where I didn't care anymore and focused on other projects in my life mad a lot of sense (The earlier you got into this phase the better cos you won't have to worry about DIBP or be waking up early to check emails ).

Notes: I uploaded OPV initially and I thought it was in the appropriate section. Anyway, make sure you upload under the appropriate heading and NAME accordingly
International passport was uploaded under birth certificate but CO returned to ask for birth Cert again (clearly depends on your CO). Luckily I was already processing one from National Population Commission at the time of application.
Experience matters
I didn't assess experience with EA even though my Career episodes were strictly based on my work experience. Interestingly, no experience verification was done by DIBP (I had approached my HR last week to confirm. Don't know if any contact was made afterwards).

Now I can focus. Decisions will be easier to make now. Should I change car? Renew rent? Buy this or that? Apply for that job? etc. Off to prepare for some certifications before leaving.

Good day everyone, I'm new here. I got a positive skills assessment from EA as an engineering technologist on 31st August 2017. I can claim 55points as my Age is 30 which gives me 30points. I also have more than 5years experience in a relevant occupation which gives me 10points and my bachelor's degree gives me 15points.
I saw my new ielts result today and I'm unable to make 7 in all sections so I can't claim any point in the English test(this has made me heartbroken). How can I get a state sponsored 190visa to Australia or even 489 working visa. I would be glad to get useful tips here. Thanks
