Why not wait till when you get your ITA and apply before getting married? If you marry after AOR, it wont affect your score anymore. However, you need to ensure you have enough POF for family of 2 as you would be required to update your POF since the family composition has now changed.

Direct recharge won't be enough. It's international call. Why will I recharge direct with N500 to N1000 which won't last up to 20minutes when I can opt in for international call bundle of 40 minutes talk time for same N500?

I have already given him what he wants. Information is power.

Hello All,

Greetings to the stakeholders.

Whats the best preparation period for a working class individual?
Three months should not be bad even if your work is very intensive.However,it all boils down to your English proficiency level.

How much is the cost of the exam?Between 51 to 55k.

Which centre is favorable to seat for the exam? I am unaware of that kind of center.Since you are working,I think proximity is paramount.

Thanks

I did my first PTE test without real practice, I lost my dad on the same day I wrote the PTE, this affected my concentration as I was thinking about my dad in the hospital while in the exam centre. I had to wait till I get settled after the burial and register for PTE the second time after getting the Gold kit for scored practice test.

I have written IELTS on 13th of May and had L8 R8 W7 S6.5. I asked a frd to help do the enquiry on results tin to help me remark writing and speaking parts but I was told the time allowed for remark has elapsed due to my dad burial arrangements. I am fed up with PTE as I need 20 points and not claiming experience points. Should I revert to IELTS n work towards getting straight 8s or I should stick to PTE or enrol for TOEFL. Is there any hope? Or what do I need to do to get 20 points. I need your advice pls.

Please house am new to this thread and i have read the first page of this thread but am having some issues....Checking d SOL and CSOL, I found my skill which is Telecommunications network engineer (ANZSCO Code 263312).
Telecommunications network engineer is assessed by Engineers Australia. It is eligible for 189 subclass . My issue is how do i apply for the assessment i dont know my way around the australia engineer website..Am seeing stage 1 and stage 2 competency assessment including fees but i have not seen required documents and all that..Please gurus in the house i need proper advice on how to go about it. Thank you

Download the online application guide from the site and read it comprehensively.If your degree is in Nigeria or any other place that are not signatory to various educational accord like Sydney and Washington accord etc.then u will need a competency demonstration report before you can be assessed.I was a bit sceptical about writing the stuff until I read the Msa guide that I downloaded from ea site.Trust me it is easy to write.
All the best

what a nice thread,keep it up guyz,pls assuming i get a job in Australia,how much do they pay on average, pls i need an answer cos everything is almost done

Congratulations on your +ve assessment; however pertaining to your question; Australia PR is a skilled migration program.
1.You can submit more than 1 EOI and withdraw same before ITA is issued and you have 60 days to apply for your visa after ITA, else you go back to the pool list and wait till you are selected again.
1i. You can submit more than 1 visa application for different Subclasses (eg.190 and 189) but immediately you receive a grant for a particular application, ensure you cancel the other which is of lesser value to you. Else event would override your grant.
For instance you got 189 grant ( the ultimate) and still have a 190 application still active on your immiaccount. My advise withdraw the 190 visa app before a decision is made on the 190.
2. You should aim at 20points in English test and depending on your age, you may just have at least 60points which is good enough for EOI without state or regional nomination.
*** Submit you application once you have ITA and funding and you can proceed to marry you spouse before or after application has been lodged. if you didn't specify you were married during your app; just file a change of circumstance form 1022 and include your spouse in your application before a decision is made on your case. Don't forget to upload all necessary documents for your claims(Medicals, PCC et'al).

FYI registry/court wedding would suffice.

crazyinlove:

Yes. I went through the same process. I had to send someone to help me to follow up with them. If you are in the east you can go there yourself or if you have someone around that can assist you please beg the person. You really need to follow up with them.

Iruosonobrugwhe:
Please march to owerri yourself or send somebody

KayVutton:


For listening YouTube is all you need. Practice at least 20 test samples and aim above 36.

For reading, google ielts reading sample questions. Ieltsbuddy,ieltsliz etc they are so many just google it.

The trick in reading is time management and use of keywords to search for answers.

Please use Capital letters to answer both test.

Success!!
