Thanks a lot sis. Guess I have to write another ielts. I appreciate your help.

Bimpsy99:
Hi, Ietls general is acceptable to DIPB but not to CPA, You need to have a 7 in each area, academic version.

On your job duties, well it depends on if you have a reference from your employer that your job duties are similar to that of an accountant as stated below, then you are good to go.

Tasks Include:
assisting in formulating budgetary and accounting policies
preparing financial statements for presentation to boards of directors, management, shareholders, and governing and statutory bodies
conducting financial investigations, preparing reports, undertaking audits and advising on matters such as the purchase and sale of businesses, mergers, capital financing, suspected fraud, insolvency and taxation
examining operating costs and organisations' income and expenditure
providing assurance about the accuracy of information contained in financial reports and their compliance with statutory requirements
providing financial and taxation advice on business structures, plans and operations
preparing taxation returns for individuals and organisations
liaising with financial institutions and brokers to establish funds management arrangements

Good evening everyone,

Alphadoor thanks for your help but please biko ejo I am still confused about the English test, your response says ielts general is okay and I know dipb is okay with general too but my assessment body CPA says they only take ielts and pte academic, please is there any accountant that has gotten a positive assessment with ielts general? Which assessing body did they use? Wouldn't want to waste money wey no dey to write another test,although I have registered but have a few days to pay so I need advice ASAP please.

Secondly, I have bsc accounting, MBA and 7 years working experience in a bank, my work duties had some accounting features, is there anyone that can advise whether I can get a positive assessment by claiming work experience please

Gurus please help, still reading the thread but I haven't gotten answers to these questions, can anyone help please

thank u so much for patiently answering my questions and so sorry for my constant questions, however there was no link to click on all I saw was a table, also I need to ask again as it wasn't previously answered, must I do my English test e. G IELTS in academic module, I did one last year for another process but did it in general module, can I still use it and get a positive assessment?

Thanks

quote author=Alphadoor post=52989956]@moniyet Thank you so much for your advice but is it true that those that chose accounting and ICT occupation need at least 70 to be invited as the influx is high?



Am afraid that is TRUE as at DECEMBER 2016 but this things are not set in stones, its a trend that is not stable

Following this link for more info and see attached.

Thank you so much for your advice but is it true that those that chose accounting and ICT occupation need at least 70 to be invited as the influx is high?

quote author=Alphadoor post=52975682]

AGE 32: 30
IELTS: 10
Work Experience: 10 or 5 or 0 subject to review by CPA/ICAA/IPA
Partner: 5
Degree: 15

. Worst case scenario is that you will have 60 based on the above criteria, but you are good for 65, You can increase your Points by applying for your assessment soonest (before you turn 33) and also getting superior English score.

the assessment body will advise you if " banking operations can be regarded as closely related to accounting occupation", so the earlier you start the better.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Goodluck

Good day everyone,

Thanks to everyone providing guidance to us all here. May God bless u and the work of your hands, started reading this thread a few days ago but it will take weeks for me to complete so please forgive me if some of my questions have been answered.

I am 32 years old, to be 33 in August. I am married with 2kids and I am the principal applicant in our quest to apply for oz PR class 189

I have B. sC in accounting
MBA
Over 7 years experience in banking operations although I haven't been working for over a year
I wrote IELTS last year with overall score 7.5 although in general module.

My questions are, can I use ielts general module for accounting occupation?
Could banking operations be regarded as closely related to accounting occupation? fellow bankers Pls assist
With these statistics, do I have any hope of getting at least 65? When I calculated I had 70 with spouse skill assessment, but even that we ain't too sure of because of discrepancy between course read and current occupation.

Kindly advise please.

@apextitan, there really isnt any need to be sarcastic. r u married? if yes, i suppose u shld understand that while virtually no man can do everything on this list, if you can do even 15 out of the 40 things listed here very well, ur wife wld automatically turn to an angel. women are actually simpler than men give them credit for, i''m sure even the poster doesnt expect a man to do all 40 things, men will always be men, however there are some men that still give their wives' happiness top priority and this list is just to guide those who are interested in that.

Hello house, Will poe officer allow a 34 weeks pregnant mum travelling to US for the first time entry?
With all bills paid down. But what was stated at the interview was vacation.

Of course he will, it's none of his business na, I stand to be corrected but I doubt if poe officers blink at ow far gone u r, it's ur airline's policy for flying preggies u need to find out and be worried about plus get ur fit to fly d way they want it. I flew at 35 wks and the Poe officer didn't even notice my belle until I told him I was there to av my baby.

diva4eva:

I thot they had upgraded flights from Dubai to Dallas to the new A380 jets

If that was the upgrade I wonder what it was before, anyway like I said that was just my experience, I'm sure it can't b d same for everyone.
@mamatobena on the plus side for me was d movies on both legs of the journey, u go watch taya, it made it a little better sha

1sttimemom:

MamaTobenna:
thank God for a successful Poe but this your emirates experience scare me small o. This is the first time I am hearing about small economy leg space. What happened with the wheel chair? Why were u not given? Were the hostesses nice? Asides from being long, what other complaints about the dubai Dallas leg. Na emirates I dey fly o, help a sis

I was surprised too cos I hrd great things, d hostesses were pleasant tho, and d food was flowing if u sabi to eat and enjoy the oyinbo food, maybe it was my imagination sha bt the first leg frm lag to dubai had more space, don't let my experience spoil urs, I was uncomfortable and my feet were swollen even with all the 2 hrs walking maybe cos I wasn't able to wiggle and stretch so much, I hope it's more comfortable for u tho, as per the wheel chair don't really know ow it works, wat I hrd was when u arrive, u wld see them and just confirm ur name, I didn't see anybody with wheel chairs and no emirates staff to confirm from, although the lady here in lag asked if I wanted from dubai or lag and I said from dubai, don't understand wat happened sha, bt u can reconfirm ow it works b4 flying.

hello,am at intown in elpaso,there are lots of naija mums here so if. U come being lonely isn't d ish,unless ur forming tho.lool

The lagos dubai journey was a lot more comfortable for me than the dubai Dallas leg, emirates economy no get leg room at all and I was unlucky enough not to have any free space beside me, it wasn't funny, coupled with the fact that I requested for wheelchair services bt never got it, the walking at the dubai airport wasn't easy on my back at all, then when we got to Dallas after 15 hours of discomfort, I had to be on my feet for 2 hrs as there were many flights arriving at the same time, the officers no just look my side at all, dem no send me and my big belle, i tried severally to get them to help as i had to catch the flight to elpaso bt they kept insisting i had time, bt God in his infinite mercies compensated with a wonderful CBP officer.
The interview was very brief, less than 5mims
We said hello and he asked me where I was going, told him elpaso and he went say what? I'm from elpaso (I was so happy I knew baba GOD had taken control) and from there it was all smile, he asked if I was in the army I just laughed and said no, then he asked what I was going to do I told him vacation and to have my baby, then he said oh guess U ' ll be using --- (he was trying to remember the name of the health centre) , I reminded him and he said oh ok, bt isn't it expensive I told him yes bt it's discounted for self - pay patients, he said ok, all the time he didn't ask for any docs just told me to finger print, scanned my passport, took my pic and stamped me in for 6 months, I doubt if he even checked my visa interview transcript, na that one bin dey fear me
after that I picked my bags and went to check in for the local flight (let me mention that I had to pay 60 usd for my bags on the flight to elpaso)
All in all I give glory to God it was a stressful journey but the Poe experience was sweet.
Checked into intown suites, I have even had my first appointment and paid the bill, na to dey wait for baby remain.
Abeg I don't know ow to send pms, elpaso mums staying at intown suites, ow do we meet, this place is really quiet o

1sttimemom:
hello,am at intown in elpaso,there are lots of naija mums here so if. U come being lonely isn't d ish,unless ur forming tho.lool

Hello all, arrived El - paso roughly 24 hrs ago, although my hubby has posted my Poe experience , maybe I shld post mine too as na me experience am.
No long story tho, d Poe experience was the easiest of all the entire journey, I had more difficulty at our airport than I did at Dallas airport, first my fit to fly letter didn't av my edd, don't know ow we managed to forget that, then she started asking for zip code and insisted I wouldn't get boarding pass if I didn't av it, thank God for her colleague who gave her one to use.
I flew emirates and the journey was a journey of life, abeg preggy mama's av to be really fit as that journey no b small waka

Hi all, so by the grace of a God, my stay in Elpaso comes to a successful end on Sunday, Jan 11th when I leave for NAija.

Feel free to pm me if interested so we can work out an arrangement as to where I'd leave them for you just in case ure arriving after I leave. Cheers all

tanx kizluv and bloggerina (meanwhile u fit teleport the groundnut, add guguru and drink biko ), @uchetobi and anonymousmum, we had not made up our minds at the time we got the visa, and my hubby actually planned on going this year, just wanted to get feelers on our chances sha, but we r seriously avoiding problematic POEs and hoping for the best.
tanx for the responses though

For those that have travelled or about to travel to el-paso from Lagos, how did you buy your tickets as i am aware there are no direct flights to el-paso from Lagos, please note that we are trying to avoid Houston POE.


Can any elpaso mum or dad please answer above question about purchase of tickets? tanku

good day all,

kudos to u all for the work done here for people like us to enjoy, God bless and reward u all. i have read all the pages from page 1 to 222 (not an easy task, bin on it for weeks now), just got to the end now and would like to ask some questions/seek advice, sorry if it has been mentioned, i must have missed it.

1) my husband, son and i got our b1/b2 visas september this year, the purpose when asked was for vacation, although i was 4months preg but not showing, now that we have decided to have our baby in the US, and amidst all these POS horror stories, can someone comment on our chances, we have taken preventive measures like sending a mail to the US consulate and gotten a response, we have also decided to route the journey to el-paso through new york and avoid Houston and Atlanta POEs, dont think i read anyone with a situation like ours that scaled through POE easily.

2) For those that have travelled or about to travel to el-paso from Lagos, how did you buy your tickets as i am aware there are no direct flights to el-paso from Lagos, please note that we are trying to avoid Houston POE.

tanx in anticipation, abeg no take my post chop groundnut o
