crest2j: Just a look at the years granted and the name of the visa alone, I know straight away that is a scam.Sorry to let you know that the visa is FAKE. If you paid for it, it means you have been duped. The maximum years you can have on visa Temporary Work (Skilled) visa subclass 457 is 4years for now until March when it changes to two types of 2years and 4 years respectively. Do not attempt to come to Australia on a fake visa. You CANNOT beat the border and straightaway you will be taken to the detention centre where you will then be deported with grave consequence in the future. This should serve as a warning to those patronizing fake agents out there. Before you use an agent, always check the MARA site to ensure you are dealing with the genuine agent. https://www.mara.gov.au/using-an-agent/using-a-registered-migration-agent/ |

teeebest: Why did you think AITSL would give him positive assessment? Did he study Education at the undergraduate level? Mathematics is not a course under education category. PGDE NTI is not sufficient to earn him positive assessment from AITSL as he does not have underpinning degree in education. And you need at least 1 year experience as Mathematician to get a positive assessment from Vetassess. Don't waste your money on a path that would not get you positive assessment. Australian Assessing bodies take assessments of overseas qualification very serious than you think. You need at least Bachelor degree in Education from 1st tier Universities from Nigeria to get a positive assessment. If you have the money, you could try the study option (Teaching/Education). |

rosepetraa: The point you made is not entirely true. The link says, " It will be replaced in March 2018" and "not abolished" now. So, Businesses can still sponsor someone for 457 visa at the moment. If he had been sponsored genuinely, he should go for it. 1 Like |

SegunWamiri: Providing false information or bogus documents whether by yourself or agents on your behalf during your visa application could attract visa or citizenship refusal or cancellation and consequently be banned from Australia,so you have to be careful. In your own case, the agent acted on your behalf so you cannot claim ignorance of the law because you signed form 956; your agent should know better. What you need to do is to declare your previous visa refusal and the reason for it in form 80. Provide right information and you should be fine. People need to be careful of the information they provide. You must be very truthful on information you provide. Don't forge documents. It is called "bogus document" . The law can catch up with you. |

Tuteso: Your degree has been assessed as equivalent to Australian Associate Degree, which other assessment are you talking about? If you have a higher qualification, you can then do a separate assessment of your degree with Vetassess, otherwise, your only option is to focus on your English to boost your points or get your spouse to do assessment also. |

frank043: ND is equivalent to Certificate IV in Australia hence you WON'T get positive assessment with ND alone. It requires minimum of HND. |

frank043: I think justice has been done to your concern in the previous posts. Basically, your performance in English test would eventually determine which occupation to choose and qualification to use. BSc Civil Eng=15points and Experience=0 HND CANNOT give you Professional Engineer or Engineering Technologist status eventhough you will get 10points if you choose relevant occupation that requires Advanced Diploma and experience=10points. I will advise you should go for your English test before you decide. 1 Like |

Junnaid: Vetassess will assess your qualifications individually by saying, " HND equivalent to Advanced Diploma and PGD equivalent to Australian Graduate Diploma equivalent", which is AQF level 8 hence higher than Australian Bachelor degree. You should get positive assessment with Vetassess provided that your PGD is in relevant field and you have at least 1 year relevant experience. I hope you also did Urban and Regional Planning at PGD level? The occupation you nominate must be relevant or closely related to your field of study and experience in order to get positive assessment, otherwise, you will just be wasting your money unnecessarily. This is the analysis required before jumping into assessment mode. |

mamajaz: I think you should wait for the outcome of your assessment with AHPRA first. Your conversion program and registration should be the most important thing to you at the moment. Some short stay visas do have "No Work condition" imposed on them. What it means is that you would not be able to work legally but I hope your visa class would permit that. Certainly, you may not need visa 457. If you have your points after your registration, you could proceed with your PR processing and while on Bridging visa, you can then look for job as a Nurse. There are many opportunities for Nurses. So, no cause for alarm! 2 Likes |

yungmin: Congrats Bro. I really salute your boldness to approach EA for assessment. The reason why he was assessed as 'Engineering Technologist' was because of his qualification that is not an Engineering degree. Normally, you can only get a 'Professional Engineer' if you studied at least Australian Bachelor degree equivalent with a WELL written CDR of Professional Engineers standard. All Nigerian Engineering degrees are eligible due to the 5 years degree course in Nigeria but where the problem lies is in the area of CDR. I have seen all manner of CDRs and many positive outcomes. It may interest you to know that Bachelor degree in Science e.g Geology and then a Master degree in Petroleum Engineering with a well written CDR would get "Professional Engineer" assessment outcome. I have seen that. Also, a BSc Industrial Chemistry, two MSc degrees (Environmental and Chemical Engineering) and a well written CDR. Likewise, I know of BSc Food Technology degree and MSc Food Technology degree with a Positive assessment as 'Engineering Technologist'. Surprising too, I have seen a Bachelor Degree in Agricultural Engineering and a MSc degree in Environmental Engineering plus a CDR in Environmental Engineering who got a positive assessment as 'Engineering Technologist'. So, your Engineering degree or what have you plus a WELL written CDR would earn you a 'Professional Engineer status'. 4 Likes |

bellong: This is not in all cases. There are occupations on MLTSSL that are NOT available to be sponsored on 190. These are occupations that are strictly available to visas 189 and 485; for example Project Builder, Telecommunication Network Planner etc. However, in this case of "Bricklayer", it can be sponsored by states and regions as you have rightly mentioned. It is highly in demand in NSW. |

Azy123: I just double checked this and I found out that you could actually claim points from your highest qualification eventhough is not mentioned in your assessment letter. However, the qualification in question MUST be equivalent to Australian Bachelor degree, as assessed by Vetassess or Case officer referring to CEP Where did you finish from and how many years? Take a look at the policy guideline below used by the case officer in decision making. Decision maker must also have regard to any other claims provided by the applicant that are relevant to the consideration of the qualification. It is anticipated that, generally, an applicant’s qualification claims will be assessed by the relevant assessing authority for the purpose of that authority issuing a skills assessment. If an assessing authority has provided an opinion on an applicant’s qualification, the applicant should provide this with their visa application, together with any other relevant supporting documentation to support their claims and should include copies of the qualifications and transcripts provided to the assessing authority. If an applicant may be issued with a suitable skills assessment based only on an assessment of an applicant’s claims of on the job training and skilled employment then, unless the applicant has other qualifications of a recognised standard, they are not eligible for educational factor points. If an applicant’s highest level educational qualification (including qualification at a doctorate level) is not related to the nominated or closely related occupation, the applicant can have their qualification assessed by VETASSESS as to the comparability of their qualification to Australian standards for the purpose of awarding points. Decision makers must have regard to any opinion provided by VETASSESS on an applicant’s qualification (as this is ‘any other relevant matter’ they must have regard to in determining whether an educational qualification is of a recognised standard, under regulation 2.26AC(5)(d)). If neither the relevant assessing authority nor VETASSESS has provided an opinion on an applicant’s qualifications, case officers must assess the qualification claims presented by the applicant. In such scenarios case officers should take into consideration any relevant information that is available to them, including information available on Country Education Profiles, advice from AEI - NOOSR and any other relevant evidence provided by the applicant. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Azy123: You can only claim point from the degree assessed. Don't make mistake of overclaiming points, it might lead to visa refusal. Your degree is not relevant to the occupation you nominated and that's why your certification was assessed instead. You have can either wait while waiting for 189 or apply for 190. If I were you, I would go for 190. 5 Likes |

bellong: Sure bellong, I agree with you. Personally, I don't use that at the moment but rather I use "LEGENDcom" which also gives you access to what the public don't have access to. Like I said earlier, the DIBP website is sufficient for anybody to lodge visa application but not the final authority for any Migration agent. As matter of fact, Migration agent would not even refer to it when writing a letter of submission to the department on behalf of any client. |

bellong: Thanks Bellong for acknowledging this. Migration law is really complex in Australia because it is dynamic. It changes from time to time. Any Migration agent that is not conversant with the changes will always mislead people. Well, you are right to disagree that the DIBP website is not the final authority. Kindly confirm this with your Migration agent's friend. He will categorically tell you that it is not, when it comes to Australian Migration practice. A good Migration agent would NOT even refer to it. All that is required to lodge a decision ready application is found in the documents previously mentioned which require subscription to access. I am not saying that you can't lodge a valid visa through the DIBP. Alot of people have done that successfully,including myself but then there is more to it. |

Cottyekundayo: You guys are doing amazing things by pointing people in the right direction on this forum. I really appreciate your effort. Just to say this that DIBP website is not the final authority when it comes to Australia migration. As a matter of fact, registered agents don't refer to it. Legislative Acts, regulations, instruments and policies are the final authorities of which public don't have access to. As per the issue in contention whether "Petroleum Engineer and other occupations" have been added to MLTSSL or not. Just to clarify this authoritatively, It has NOT been added to MLTSSL available to those who want to apply through GSM path. If you are applying for any GSM (General Skilled Migration e.g 189,489 visa etc )occupations, you can only nominate occupation which in this legislative instrument: https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2017L00850 With respect to the occupation MLTSSL list that DIBP refers to on their website that includes "Petroleum Engineer", you can only use that if you are being sponsored for 186 (Employer nominated visa) or 457 (4years-MLTSSL or 2years-STSOL ). https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Work/Skills-assessment-and-assessing-authorities/skilled-occupations-lists/combined-stsol-mltssl Don't make the mistake of assessing your occupation as a Petroleum Engineer hoping to be invited for any GSM visa; It is a waste of money. I would advise you should consider other options that will lead to PR. 10 Likes |

Changed to 189 Visas - Reduction in Age Ceiling - Pathway for New Zealand Citizens https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2017L00549 The Australian Government is making changes to the Skilled Independent subclass 189 visa from the 1st of July 2017: Two separate pathways or "streams" will be available: a Points Tested Stream, and a New Zealand Citizen Stream. The maximum age permitted to apply for a subclass 189 visa under the Points Tested Stream will be 44 - ie applicants must be aged under 45 when the invitation to apply for the visa is issued by the Department of Immigration. The New Zealand Citizen Stream will facilitate New Zealand citizens who are already resident in and contributing to Australia to become permanent residents. More specifically, the New Zealand Citizen Stream will be available to New Zealand citizens who: Were usually resident in Australia on or before 19 February 2016; and Since that time have continued to be usually resident in Australia for at least five years before applying for the visa; and Have been contributing to Australia by earning a certain level of taxable income; and Meet mandatory health, character and security criteria. For New Zealand Citizen Stream applicants the total amount of the Visa Application Charge (VAC) payable to the Department of Immigration will be consistent with the VACs for the general skilled migration programme. However, concessional arrangements have been introduced to the New Zealand Citizen Stream, whereby 20 per cent of the VAC will be payable at the time of lodging the visa application, with the remainder of the VAC to be paid before the visa is granted. For Points Tested Stream applicants the reduction in the maximum age requirement will only impact those applicants who are invited to apply on or after the 1st of July, 2017, or who been issued with a visa invitation before the 1st of July, 2017 and who have not accepted the invitation at that date.

For clarity purpose, the plain meaning of the two lists (effective as from 19th April) and their impacts: Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) replaces former SOL list: Hence you must nominate an occupation on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) if you are applying for any of the below: Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 489) (unless nominated by a State or Territory Government) Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) – Graduate Work Stream. https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Work/Skills-assessment-and-assessing-authorities/skilled-occupations-lists If your occupation has been removed from MLTSSL eventhough you have already got a positive assessment but yet to lodge, you WON'T be able to apply for any visa mentioned above anymore except if the occupation is on STSOL list and any particular region or state/territory is sponsoring it. Short-Term Skilled Occupation list replaces former CSOL list: Hence you must nominate an occupation on the STSOL if you are applying for any of the below: Employer Nominated Scheme (subclass 186) – Direct Entry Stream Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 489) - if nominated by a State or Territory Government Temporary Work (Skilled) visa (subclass 457) Training visa (subclass 407) You can find the details in Schedule 2 of the legislative instrument. https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2017L00450 You need to be sure also that states or regions are sponsoring such occupations. It is not enough to find your occupation on the STSOL, you must be certain that a state or region is sponsoring and that you can meet any applicable condition of the region or state. Note: Australian Migration Laws change from time to time. Whatever you need to do regarding migrating to Australia, do it fast. If your occupations have been removed from the list, there is no point wasting your money and effort on it; it is gone. For those who want to study, always study an occupation that you are sure will always be relevant to Australia market and that will not require experience for an assessment afterward. An occupation such as 'Petroleum Engineer' and 'Human Resource Adviser' have been removed from the list, hence people who have positive assessment could no longer apply for any valid visa using these occupations and others that have been removed. If you had admission to study 'Petroleum Engineering' and have mind of getting PR afterward, you will be wasting your time and money.These and many more will NEVER lead to PR except by marriage to an Australian PR holder or citizen which is not automatic.
