Changing to 190 from 489 onshore, is the same as applying for a 190 offshore. Once your occupation is on the list it should be on, then every other thing will fall in place. You can change to a 190 anytime after arrival. The only diff is onshore applications are sometimes processed faster by DIBP....which makes sense tho, as you are already here.

U may need to focus on what u can do to pull through. Redoing ur English test for maximum points to move to 189...may be it.

bossladymo1:


NNBB2012 has answered you.

Also, how come SA needs 80 points? I don't understand. 55pts is the minimum required for state nomination on 190, and 50 for 489.

NNBB2012:


Unfortunately, your occupation is not on SOL list hence you cannot apply for 189 and there are only two states,WA and SA that can nominate you. These states have strict conditions that you must meet which I doubt if you currently have them. For example, since your occupation is on schedule 2, it means you must have employment contract,English requirement and sufficient fund. The main reason why you have not been invited is because of the Employment contract. Do you have one now? And even 489 visa have similar conditions, so that does not help matter.
The only thing I think you could do is to take a look at the list and see any occupation you feel that matches your qualification cum your experience and go for it. Australian migration requires thorough analysis before venturing into it in the first place.

I derive pleasure from helping people. It's just the way I am, the way I am programmed. I am not some sadistic psycopath who derives pleasure from online attention. I am of the opinion that no one should be left in Nigeria, if they have the chance to gain a better life abroad....especially people with kids. Looking at my kids, I know that even if something happens and we can't afford to pay for their education...they have a government and systems in place to enable them continue their education as much as they can. So if I can help anyone else in any way I can, why not? I don't answer questions to show off. I say what I know. I was once a novice also. I remember my very first post on this thread. But I took my time to research thoroughly...like I said, I was not willing to spend a huge chunk of money on a process I knew nothing about.

So for someone to come and say there is more to me 'online niceness'....hmmm.....

I will let it die there.

Thanks to everyone who came to my defence.

missakomaye:

laminaria:

tank God for d success, pls was it under SVP? if not when did u apply? tanx.

kakazee:
Western sydney institute doesn't use any agent.

laminaria:

they might refer u to an agent as well, since it is SVP. apply and see how it goes.
was that ur bro too an SVP?

laminaria:

I guess the use of agent depends so much on ur assessment ...if ur previous knowledge align wit ur propose course and a good SOP. I tink u shud be fine however if u are going for any tafe SVP u might need agent for visa checklist...better still try nswtafe or tafesa.

enilim:
Hello my people
please do anyone know of any tafe school that do not use agent. It is really annoying how most schools make using agents compulsory. I will appreciate your response.
Thank you, God bless.

Have him use the fixed deposit certificates issued by the Bank. If he doesn't have, he should ask his Account Officer for it, its a simple thing.
Also,you may include his account statement that shows history of the money being booked from the account.
If you are not going SVP, I advise that you include additional explanation about the funds on separate piece of paper addressed to the DIBP. If you are going SVP, explain to the school that funds will be liquidated as and when needed to meet your study expenses.
I hope this helps.
