You can pay using your debit card. Just choose the pay with credit card option and put your debit card details instead.

I am a grey hair in General Australian Student Visa thread . Have been following this thread for a while and I just want an answer to this question?.

-Can someone who has Diploma go through PR route. .?

lalaazo:
Mozoe; you have done well and in my own opinion see suggestions below;
contact your assessing body once you figure out your odds;
312211 Civil Engineering Draftsperson -EA/VETASSESS (At least three years of relevant experience may substitute for the formal qualifications ,in some instances relevant experience and/or on-the-job training may be required in addition to the formal qualification.)
232111 Architect- AACA http://www.aaca.org.au/
232112 Landscape Architect- VETASSESS
312111 Architectural Draftsperson -VETASSESS 2 ( SC190,489 only: sponsored by Tasmania only)
You wouldn't need to claim points for your spouse if you can get 60 points or above.

1.I so want to move with my child And have my hubby join later. 2.Or I move alone and have 'em join later. Or we all move together
Should I go in as a student? Answer:1. PR is often advisable cos you don't get benefits as a student and tend to pay more for child care, Medicare etc.
2. Moving to Australia alone now would cost you more later because dependent child visa takes minimum of 13months and the child has to be outside Aussie when visa is issued. applying together all at once may be expensive in terms of visa fees and all( AUD$1870 spouse and AUD$900 dependent child, Medicals and flight cost for spouse and child: NGN81,600 and NGN659k respectively) but you can make the cash back within a short time when you get in provided you aren't selecting jobs.
If you are assessing with VETASSESS you can dial in for a fee and do a pre -assessment before you turn in your application.
I leave the bulk of the analysis and recommendations to the experienced hands in the house (VETASSESS/ EA peeps).

Madam,

I hope you know ACA won't give you a positively accessment with your HND in Architecture. Fine, you might be accessed positively for an Architectural draughtperson for the 190 subclass, But the last time I check, only Tasmania sponsor the occupation and you will be extra lucky to get an invitation.

What are the qualifications of your husband? he might stand a better chance than you in the PR race.

I'm not an expert in ausee migration matters, but I feel the best bet for you is to come with a study visa alongside your husband. You can get your PR easily after two years of study if you play your game very well. Fine, Australia is an expensive place to study but you can do a smart thing by first coming to study a 2 yr program in a TaFe (lesser tuition) and you continue in a university after you get your PR. since alot of these TaFe courses are pathways that leads to a bachelors degree in universities.

Aĺl the best!

I'm not sure of where you retrieved the information: "Also from the AQF criteria PGD is level 8 which is higher than bachelor degree but will not be accepted for skill level 1 because learning objectives and outcome differs from Australia bachelor degree" but it feels like NNBB2012 is certain of his suggestion.

However, I'll suggest you go with bellong's suggestion on advisory service.

On the other hand, I have considered Facility manager for you at some point. So I agree that it is relevant to your degree. Also, part of the descriptions of a community worker's JD is similar to that of an urban planner- advising government on welfare matters. Use of land is a welfare matter.

SegunWamiri:
Yes, 4 years if one is fortunate to have studied in a school that Australia classifies as a section 1 institution. If section 2 on the other hand, the course must have been studied for 5 years. Federal schools in Nigeria are under category 1 while state, polytechnics and private institutions are under section 2.

I'm afraid from the look of things, I'll suggest that you look into a related occupation but it's at Skill level 2 or 3. Otherwise, Canada might have something for you.

SegunWamiri:
You might want to include your PGD with your HND in your assessment submission. Even at this, it's a risk as we are not sure of what VETASSESS would equate your PGD as but to not include it would definitely be a negative outcome for a Skill level 1 occupation as yours.

I recall you had your PGD studies for two years. What school did you obtain it from?
@ Lawland: Please do you think you might have any information for us in this case

bellong:
The process for 489 is same as 190 and 189.

Read the opening page of this thread for further information.

What I am not sure is what vetasses will equate your PGD to. That is actually the key here.

You can do the advisory service first, at least with that, the money involved is not much of a pain if lost.

bellong:
There is no need repeating what you have written before. If you choose to answer a question that suits you, how do we piece your information together to give you an informed opinion.

What is your spouse's occupation and qualification?

SegunWamiri:
There has been an adjustment to the criteria some time last month.
Category 3A – Overseas Applicant


To be considered for this category you must be living overseas and meet the following criteria:

nominated occupation is listed on the Tasmanian Skilled Occupations List (TSOL)
you, or any of your dependents have not lived in another Australian state or territory within the last twelve months
achieved at least ‘Proficient English’ in a recognised English language test or hold a passport of the UK, Ireland, the USA, Canada or New Zealand
researched the Tasmanian labour market and provide evidence (see Document Checklist) that there are sufficient employment opportunities (at least five and not more than eight opportunities) in your nominated occupation in Tasmania; and that you have:
skills and recent experience relevant to the researched employment opportunities
skills and experience relevant to the Tasmanian economy
access to sufficient financial assets to fund your migration and settlement in Tasmania while you seek employment
If your application is one of high calibre, and the Tasmanian Government is satisfied that you will be able to secure employment with ease due to your skills and previous work experience you may be invited to apply for the Subclass 190 - Skilled Nominated visa.

I see that's 6-7 years depending on which month in 2011. After VETASSESS assessment, the highest you could be left with is 5years if they decide to be nice and that's still 5 points.

Meanwhile, I also noticed that urban and regional planner is a Skill level 1 occupation meaning that by university standards, you must have finished your program in 4 years from a Federal school or five years in a state or private school to be able to get a positive assessment.

In your case, it's a polytechnic (4) years and PGD (1) year. I'm not too sure how this might play out with VETASSESS assessment. Let's wait to hear from others

SegunWamiri:
Yes, you're right 10 points starts from 5years but I know from calculations, you would need at least 15 points from experience even with 20 points from English proficiency in order to meet up with Adelaide's 85 points criteria

As per 489, someone said earlier last week that it is more like a senior student visa..lolz. It gets you into the country but you would have to go through some trials to survive at the beginning as you are not entitled to ANY government benefits. If you have a family, it could be more difficult to settle in. Adelaide could be worse considering that it's currently rated as the state with the highest unemployment.

So my advice is look into NSW's website. Check for the requirements for nomination and see if you'll meet up. For some people, it is believed that 489 in Australia is better than staying in naija

If you really...do not like 489, then your only option would be Adelaide's 190 but if you don't have enough experience, you might not be able to meet up with the 85 points thingy

Kayla10:
What is your occupation? 489 requirements will be on the website; either google search or search on the website.

Kayla10:
It would be best for you to trawl through other state migration sites to see ones that have your selected occupations on the list. If you find ones that do, check their requirements to see if you qualify.

SegunWamiri:
On another hand, you could settle for their 489 but read through the requirements and conditions attached carefully. Be sure you are satisfied with them

Also, does your spouse have her occupation on the occupation list? If not, you can't claim partner skills point
