I will be back will the conclusive part of this testimony very very very soon (regardless of extended timelines)
Now this has been a very long journey for me and I return all glory to God who showed me his power over all my trials with VETASSESS and gave me a testimony in his mercy
I really appreciate everyone in the house especially Jamson, Bellong, Funkyjo, TeewhySafe and Mamajaz who knew when I was downcast and kept encouraging me and reviewing my progress.

Alphadoor:


In his best interest he is advised to proceed and process the medicals for all his family members, so that they can benefit from his DIRECT GRANT as dependents.

If he decides to process for himself alone, meaning he will drop them as migrating dependents (skips medicals) but for them to come over later... he will require below
-Partner visa ( $7000)_14 - 20 months processing time...
-Child visa $2415_

spyroxy1:


Inspiring... Especially your IELTS 2nd attempt and Vetasses re-assessment. Was it the same documents that were earlier assessed? or you were allowed to re-submit diffrent documents entirely?

firsttymum:


Emirates has a fit to fly pdf document on their page download it and give it to her Dr to fill and sign. Also her Dr need to write a fit to fly letter.
It must state her Edd, EGA, number of fetus and that she's fit fly.

Make copies cos u'll submit at d counter and boarding gate.

firsttymum:
36 weeks... I flew Emirates early this year.

SegunWamiri:


No worries. Things would work in your favour

Misoke:
Please any WhatsApp group for this Australia skilled migration?...thanks

babylove01:
Please is there anyone having issues with immiaccount? Been trying to Lodge and pay for the visa but it keeps saying the page is currently unavailable. Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks

SegunWamiri:
Your point is well understood bro. Teewhysafe was just speculating just in case the person wants to

Meanwhile, you didn't clear the air about whether she's done her medicals yet or not

wisemen045:
e-Family,

Greetings.

My current employer, a financial institution, has declined my request for employment reference to VETASSESS (internal auditor).

I saw something about a ''witness'' in Oga Bellong's sample. Just to be sure. Please, who is supposed to swear the statutory declaration of employment. Is it the applicant quoting his supervisor's details or the supervisor stating the applicant works with him?

Which is better/acceptable; a notary public or taking the declaration to the court for declaration?

cc bellong, toslad, tyosho,teecann, praiseisgood

qSegunWamiri:
He doesn't have to conceal it. In fact, he shouldn't so that the test conductor can do the needful- the use of a shield.

It's now left for the case officer to ignore that part of the medical report and approve their grants or delay stylishly till wife delivers. Lol

majiouk2002:


Why not ask for a remark of your speaking module. More often than not, people get 'upgraded' after the remark.

kehinde1947:

I did not pay him, he said i will pay him after the visa is out, and their company will be the one to buy the air ticket also. mine is just to pay after i confirmed everything.

Hello, Aussie Family.
I've been following this thread for weeks and although my journey is still incomplete, only now am I confident enough to share my timeline.

July 2015: Left Nigeria for the first time on a 2 day visit to Dubai and knew I, my family and my nation deserved a better life. Travelled again to the US in June 2016 and my decision to leave permanently became an obsession. After flirting with New Zealand, Australia became my ONLY logical choice.

Congrats Disectur,

I pray for more of this good news in this house and I pray mine to be breaking news too soon IJN.

Please Disectur, what is the procedure after you have begun the process for visa 189, and for 1 reason or the other, you didn't meet up in points or occupation is filled up, HOW DO you move to initiate the process with a state for the 190 visa?

Cheers.

Dear All,
Got a positive assessment from VETASSES today . (HOTEL MANAGER)
However, my years of experience was reduced from 5.3 to 2.3 jeopardizing my immediate EOI.
Na wa o

My details:

Age - 25 points
English - 10 points
Experience - 0 points
Eduction - 15 points

Total 50 points
My brother, you have no choice now but to get 20 points for english. Why not try PTE as i've been told it's probably easier.

SegunWamiri:
@ disectur: well done thus far. Please do you fully understand the reason VETASSES during the first assessment, reduced your years of experience as much as they did? Funny enough, just in the following year having reassessed, about three years was added. How did they arrive at these variations?

doyen06:
I got my NSW approval after 5 working days,all glory be to almighty God. Thanks to some old members who have helped from
