Hello House,

Trust we are all making progress in our quest.

Just to let you know I just checked my IELTS result and this is the outcome:

Listening: 8.0
Reading: 7.0
Writing: 6.5
Speaking: 7.5
Overall: 7.5

I am still awating the outcome of Vetassess as I nominated Internal Auditor though I am considering another assessment with ICAA.

I am considering a re-marking of my writing! What do you think? @Bellong etc.

Thank you.

bellong:


Negative.... WA is out of it.

Chemist is on Schedule 2 list, meaning he must have a job offer before being sponsored.
Victoria is still his best bet. He only need to package his CV very well and embellish his job descriptions as the State wants people in research.

Ladon7:
Hmnnnn, VERY PICKY , u mean my chance is slim righth? Want to do my assignment before paying over 300k for vetassess. [Qquote author=OmogeNG post=49596724]

You are very lucky. You have 2 occupations to choose from...Secondary School Teacher and Chemist.

No. You can't count your teaching work experience. Only work experience as a Chemist, relevant work experience, counts.

Remember, there are 2 states open to Chemists. WA and VIC. WA requires at least 3yrs relevant work experience. VIC requires about 2 at least, but are VERY PICKY.

Ladon7:
Thanx alot, but i taught chemistry in a secondary school for 3 years because i also hav a postgraduate diploma in education too,before i got my present job which i got with my forst degree (industrial chemistry),i startrd my present job 5 yrs ago, y question now is will I need calculate the 3 yerars of teaching with my work experience, or not ,having it in mind that I want nominate for a chemist which is much related to my present job as i now work in a research institute,

Nickoko:
Good morning gurus,
Somebody told me few minutes ago that one get fill the assessment and EOI form with part time education for his B. sc and or M. sc to claim points on his/her working experience. i e if I did a part time B.sc for like 6yrs and was doing a full time job during the same period, I can claim between 6-4 working experience.
Please, how true is that statement?

bellong:


Very true..

Western Australia Police and the Northern Territory Police are the highest paid police officers.... They both have little bit difficult physical requirements.. Swimming for NT and high beep test for WA

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this wonderful thread, I’ve really benefitted from the wealth of info here. I want to nominate agricultural consultant for assessment with VETASSESS but need to ask a few question before going ahead.

1. What 5 major task does VETASSESS accept for agricultural consultant? I’ve gone through ANZSCO but the occupation task for agricultural consultant seems to be merged with that of agricultural and forestry scientist.
2. Does VETASSESS rate B.Sc. from Ahmadu Bello University as AQF bachelor?
3. I read online that someone got a negative assessment due to low learning/guided hours per week. What number of learning hours per week is appropriate to get positive assessment for agricultural consultant?

@bellong, OmogeNG cuteannie02, Okosay…….and others who are familiar with VETASSESS, your contributions will be appreciated. Thanks

The Grant with the longest timeline has arrived!!!
The timeline is as follows;
10th December, 2014; sent in my application to Engineer Australia for assessment
5th April, 2015; Got a positive assessment, dated 2nd March.
6th April; submitted an EOI
10th April: received an ITA. The speed made me wonder if the thing na real!
22nd May; lodged my application. Made the payment but wasn’t able to upload documents because my immi account was acting up.
I discovered Nairaland and through the discussions, I discovered I had made a HUGE error- had claimed some prequalification job experience. My points should actually be 60 and not 65. E-family had given me HBP with their comments that I had made a BOGUS claim and therefore jeopardized my application. However, of all these comments, Manmeta said I will be fine…..that he can feel it within his bones. This singular comment did a lot to calm me down.
25th June; by the direction of NNBB abi Bellong, I wrote DIPB a love letter making a passionate appeal for my points to tb corrected to 60. I stated it was an error done in ignorance and not a BOGUS claim.
13th July; they responded saying that it has been noted.
17th July; I was assigned a CO and he requested for documents and medicals. Remembered I was not able to upload my documents. I had put medicals on hold to see the outcome of my plea. I requested for my immi account to be repaired, still gave issues but one day it opened and I was able to upload the docs.
4th August; I and my family went for medicals
4th September; 1st request for outstanding documents! They asked for my form 80 and F1221. I sent the docs as email attachments. They first mail had omitted these forms, I resent it. They got the second mail and yet only decided to open the first one!
11th September; they sent a mail requesting to correct my score from 65 to 60. They said they agree it was an unintentional error. I sharperly consented! At this point my BP normalized…
24th September; 2nd request for outstanding documents! Asking for form 80 and F1221 AGAIN! I discovered they don’t check their mails so I resulted to calling them asap after I have sent a document. However, they also requested for my wife’s evidence of functional English as her certificates submitted is not a proof that the courses were taught and examined in English. Na vernacular we dey use learn for Nigeria
The letter for proof of functional English took 4 weeks to obtain. UNICAL and una registrar I tire for una!
27th November; 3rd request for outstanding documents! They asked for my CV. I had attached it earlier but as usual….. They also asked for my wife’s transcript. Remembering what I passed through to get a simple letter, I acted wisely. I contacted a friend working in the university where my wife was doing her Msc and we were able to retrieve her transcript from the PG school and I photocopied it. Sharp guy!!
28th January 2016; 4th request for outstanding documents! I tire for this people! They asked I should provide the following; address (including street number) for 2 work places I had claimed (I had written only the city where they were situated), Name of family business which I was involved in. (it was a road side unregistered and nameless shop), show evidence of how I supported myself financially during my Msc abroad. Na wa! They thought I had worked during my Msc. I found the electronic receipt of my school fees paid by my father; I sent it as I didn’t have any bank statement for that period.
During all this my wife got pregnant. We thought the grant will come out and we could leave by March. We never heard anything up till March 21st when we put the application on hold.
15th April; they wrote saying my application was decision ready. They informed me of the advantage of delivering the baby onshore and asked for my wife’s due date.
15th June; requested for my application to be reopened. Our baby had arrived May 17th.
23rd June; they requested the baby to go for medicals.
8th July; the baby’s medicals was done and submitted.
2nd September; THE 189 GRANT LANDED for myself, wife and two kids!!!! It has been a dogged journey. It took a lot of will power, PERIODS of despair, anxiety (waking up every night to check mails and so many of those days, they was no mail!). Hope someone will learn from my mistakes. But above all, I believe God allowed it to be so for a reason.
My appreciation goes to God almighty, BossLadyMo, NNBB, Oga Bellong, Manmeta, Izykvision, etc.
The land of Oz, here we come!

sammywemmy:
Congratulations boss. I wish u and d family all d best in the next phase.

Good morning. Sorry for the late response bro. Do you mind sharing more info about the PGD thing? It's the first I'm hearing about it to be honest as regarding Australian PR route. Does it mean I'm not qualified for post study visa after the programme? What body does the assessment for this and all ? Do you have a specific school or city in mind? Please I'll appreciate a little more light thrown on this for me. Thank u again.

jukeblam:


No one is even smiling in Naija; you greet strangers who ignore you while some take it a step further, give you 'side-eye'!
Like the hatred is already an innate part of the Nigerian.

Gimme the fake smiles+good transport+security etc over there than the ......................................oh wait, I can't think of anything to counter that offer over here. Oh well.

Thank you OmogeNG. I really appreciate your response. I added the ICAN I just wanted reassurance that I am on the right track.

Thank you again.

Good morning House. Trust the night was well rested.

Please I want to confirm if anyone who attended a State University has assessed as an Internal Auditor with Vetassess and got a positive assessment.

I have been working as an Internal Auditor (Investigation Officer) in a financial institution. I am a Chartered Accountant and about to submit my documents online. I just need a sort of assurance that I am not alone.

Thank you.

ugsams:


Reading your post on this thread has been a motivation to me. I feel very encouraged when I saw that you received a positive assessment from the same assessing body (VETASSESS) and in the same field that I intend going for and now your ITA, hence I seek your support in the way of information. I finished with a second class upper division in Agricultural Economics & Extension Services from a federal university in Nigeria. I sent you a PM hoping that I could ask you some questions through the medium.

1. Did you finish from a Nigerian university? If yes please how did you address the transcript to VETASSESS and which courier service did you use?

Was it your school that sent it directly to them or you received from school and send to them? Please, if you don't mind, elucidate on how you went about it.

2. (a) Did they call you for further interview about the job experience which you claimed or anything else?

(b) Did you include your NYSC under the experience?

(c) If I have less than 5 years experience on the field but up to 3 years do you think it will be a problem?

(d) Besides payslip and an employment reference letter that you uploaded did they requested that you add any additional proof?

(e) How many months payslip did you submit online?

(f) Was the payslip in sequence or was it selected from different years?

(g) If I will like to add my bank statement, how many months do you think will be accepted as the minimum?

3. Please if you don't mind which of the skills did you go for?



***Please feel free to skip any of my questions which you don't feel comfortable with. I also know that many of my questions has been answered before now just that i want a first hand answer from you. Meanwhile, I still wish I'll be able to talk to you off Nairaland through mail or any other medium but that will be if you oblige me. Thanks

Olisedinma:


@ OmogeNg
For clarity,are points claimed separately for skill and qualification? Suffice to say that I will get more points if both my skill and qualification are assessed,Abi?

Cynthized:
Thanks to all the gurus in the house, who answers all our questions. I have a degree in Business management from UNN, do i stil get a chance to have a positive accessment as Management accountant from ICAA or IPA

Freece:


@omogeNg

Her B.Sc is in accounting from Madonna University.

uzziii:


Thanks for your reply. Please i want to find out if any person with only a nigerian 1st and may be 2nd degree has gotten a positive assessment. As my husband and i have only nigerian degrees in Architecture and most people in this forum that has got a positve assessment all have foreign degrees attached to their nigerian degree.
Thanks for your response.

Esty4eva:
@ All successful ones please help me clarify the below, For transcript Vetassess requires that the school should send it in an enclosed envelope directly to them which i have applied for in my school, and also for visa 189 application one of their requirements is that one should up load transcript during online application, please how can i do that as the school will send directly to them, should i request for another copy of transcript from my school, or beg my school to email me the copy that will be sent to Vetassess so that i can use it

Again, must it be my degree certificate though i have applied for it but my school said it will take time to come out but i have my statement of result, i graduated 2006 will vetasses accept my degree statement of result?

Olisedinma:
Please I'm inquiring as regards assessing bodies

I want to use my ICAN qualification to be assessed under General Aacounting

But my job experience has been majorly Audit (both external and internal )

Please what do u advise. Is it ok to use my ICAN qualification and is it ok to be assessed under General Account despite my job experience ?


Thanks for the response. I know internal audit and external audit are available. But I would prefer to be assessed for general accounting. My question is this , is it ok to be assessed under general accounting despite my work experience as an auditor?

Thanks for attending to my question

Hello house,am new to this thread,I have read through but still have this bone,so kindly indulge me if my enquiries seem dumb. My best friend is a chartered accountant here in Nigerian. She had her B.sc in 2003 and has been working as an internal auditor with a multinational firm after nysc in 2005 but became chartered in 2010. Question 1. She wants to be assessed by vetasses,do u think she will claim points for the full years worked?
Question 2. Will her 65 points get her a visa 189 given she's in the accounting circle(internal audit).
Question 3. Outside asking your bank to increase your daily limit,how else can someone pay for the vetassess fee for evaluation?
Cc:belong and other guru,kindly assist.

KIKIADE:
Sir,
I am still not clear with your response, If I do the test again and get 10 points, it is not reasonable to go for subclass 190 again. i will rather opt for 189,making 190 useless.

KIKIADE:
Hello,
I need a little clarification on 190 visa. I understand it is 55 points and applicant will be awarded 5 points, if sponsor by a state or territory. The question is if I have 50 points already and I now decided to go for 190 visa, am I qualify for the programme. please, kindly explain this thing.

33- 39 years = 25

ENGLISH LANG ABILITY = 0
(S-53,W-69,R-57 AND L-65)

SKILLED EMPOLYMENT = 15
15 YEARS WORKING EXPERIENCE

QUALIFICATION = 10

TOTAL =50

if I decided to go for 190 visa that require 55 points, and a state or region is ready to nominate me,am I going to add 5 points to it making 55 point?

humanshado:
Hi All. I got an invite on 6th July, 2016 for skilled Independent 189. I'm now preparing documents for lodging my application and I need some clarifications.

1) Do I need to certify/notarise the documents before upload?

2) Are there specific lawyers appointed by Australian Immigration for notarising documents in Nigeria or any notary public can do?

Thanks.
