Hi all,

Pls who has any idea of how long the sub class 476 visa application takes?

NNBB2012:
It is possible to move on a PR to Australia provided that you have positive assessment and the required points. Which area do you have experience on? If you approach Engineer Australia after your study, your experience will not count although you may have 15points but I doubt if you will be given Bachelor degree in Australia. To get Bachelor degree equivalent in Australia, you have to study for 4years in some specific universities. And since your program is just 1year in the UK and your previous program is 2years according to Australia standard, you might be given Associate degree, which is not equivalent to Bachelor and you will still end up getting 10point. If you do now, your qualification will be equivalent to Australian Advanced Diploma, which is 10points and you will have 5points for experience provided that your experience is relevant to your nominated occupation. Also, you have minimum qualification required for the occupation.

I was a maintenance technician for two years before I became an Inventory Controller in an e commerce company.

What do you advice? Do I wait till I finish and apply for the 476 instead. How do I find out if a top up degree meets the requirements for the 476?

Thanks for your time

The time varies, but it was about a space of 2 - 3 months in general. A third friend just got his own yesterday and submitted around 2nd week of December, 2015.

I submitted mine on the 29th of December last Year. Yet to receive final decision but have been contacted once by a CO to request for an additional document.

So you will have to release, that was how their status was until they received their approval mail. This 476 subclass visa is almost a sure banker if u meet the criteria.

Pls do you know if with a top up degree in Engineering in the UK, I'll be eligible for this 476?

Hello house.

It's great seeing people get responses to questions. I just have some questions on the best way to move to Australia. I'm currently in the Uk. I have an HND in Electronics and Electrical Engineering from Nigeria. Currently doing a top up to BEng here in the UK and due to finish in June. I am 26 and have 3 years work experience

Hello all,

Pls who else is encountering the 'technical issue' on the UKVI site while trying to make the IHS payments?

hello there

Quite new here and I've really found the thread interactive. I have been offered admission to the university of sunderland for a top up degree programme in electronic and electrical engineering. What should I expect?
