Congrats to all new permanent residents! Welcome.

Just a piece of advice. Don't limit yourself to what people around you are saying. Apply for those jobs that seem hard to get or classified as 'not for black migrants'. You might never know. You can switch careers even. The Police constantly recruit. Policing here is safer than most countries, majorly because of the strict gunlaws. Victoria has a Police Custody Officer position, and are recruiting HEAVILY at the moment. Same with other jurisdictions. There is Firefighting and Correctional Services. These are areas where your diversity will be a plus for you and work in your favour. And you all know there is nothing like govt job lol.

Congrats once again.

Oga Bellong and Omogeng, please help with answers:

1. What are the consequences of going for a job in other state despite been nominated by a seperate state.

No consequencies. It is a moral obligation, not a legal or a visa restriction. But you should try your best before jumping states. They will actually release you if you show you tried to get a job.

2. Is it true that the government gives some money to PR holders, if true, how much is it?

Yes the govt does You get the Family Tax Benefit A and B, Rent Assistance, Energy Assistance etc. It can be up to 700 dollars per fortnight for a family with 2 dependent kids. But it depends on your income and family circumstances.You also get Childcare Benefit and Childcare Rebate...but that is only if you kid goes to daycare and it is paid directly to the childcare centre. Other payments are after residing for 2yrs...but there is something called a Special Benefit payment that is given to new migrants faced with severe financial hardship, but haven't been here for 2yrs.

3. is it advisable to move with my family at ones or i should get in first

Move at once. Get it over with. Even if you don't get a job quickly, the govt benefits can sustain you. But remember, you only get the benefits if your kids are in Australia already.

4. What are the ways i can get a job in SA from Naija, my ANZCO is Transport company manager

I don't know about this.

Thanks grin.

Unemployment is very high in SA.The highest in Australia. But you can ask for a release letter if you have been unable to secure a job - usually 6mths.

Pls has anybody processed payment for vetassess lately and how much in Naira value was charged?. I just tried to pay for my spouse skilled assessment with visa card but its saying insufficient fund. I have about =N=150,000 in there. The exchange rate now is =N=118 to 1 AUD.

As at Friday, the exchange rate via GTB Mastercard was about 221naira to 1 AUD. It used to be about 130, but there was a huge jump.

Ok. Thanks!

How many months after your baby's last vaccination was this?

Don't mind Fatayi Williams...they just want money. I never even took any Polio or Yellow Fever vaccination from them. I uploaded our govt hospital card showing we got the booster dose for polio to the CO, and for the Yellow Fever, i took the same booklet to the ports health. to get the card, and didn't have to immunise again.This was for we adults.

For the kids - All I did was upload my children's immunisation booklet to the CO...and it was accepted with no objection. Immi/Border Force has no issues with that. When it came to departure, I took their booklet to the ports health and they were issued a yellow fever card without having to immunise again.

One was 18mths old, and the other was 3/4weeks old when I did all these.

I don't know why Fatayi Williams gave another polio dose after 9mths. It is not only unethical, it is not WHO recommended. OPV/IPV ends at 10 weeks I think.

Upload her immunisation booklet (Front n Back) on your immi account, I can assure you it will be accepted.

Good day house,really appreciate everyone here.please I need your advice and guidance so as not to make mistake.please for those that did there assessment with vetassess pls I would appreciate it if you guide me because i want upload my document through online assessment.

1.should i send my transcript and certificate through school or should i upload them online

2.should i certify my A.appointment letter
B.reference letter
C.pay slip
And please are these the only work prove that they need or i need to upload because someone told me that vetassess requests for bank statement.so, if i should submit bank statement like how many months should i upload 3 months or 6 months.
Please gurus in the house please help me so that i will not make mistake and have a negative assesment.thanks to all

Just follow the guidelines on the website.

Applicants with degrees from Nigerian unis are unable to upload their transcript. The uni has to forward it.

Originals are fine. Bank statements is not a must. They may or may not ask. Payslips alone are just fine, but you can add bank statements if you want.

It is better if your evidence of pay shows your first ever pay, a couple in the middle, and your most recent pay.

thanks buddy, what if i dont accept the invite for 190, can i still expect to be invited for 189 by july?

Usually, you apply for state nomination seperately. But once you apply and are granted, yet choose not to go ahead to lodge the visa app,, your profile will be locked for a while...usually 60 days.

Good day to the house.Thanks for the help so far.
I submitted EOI recently , but I noticed the occupation ceiling for engineering technologist is closed until July, which means I cnt b invited for visa application till den.however I learnt from someone that I can add 190subclass visa in my EOI alongside the 189 which is my preferred visa type.The person said the 190 is state nominated ,that even though the ceiling for the occupation is closed ,that state can nominate nonetheless instead of waiting till July. My question is that, does choosing both 189 and 190 v any implications. And which of the two subclass is much advisable. @bellong and oda dons in the house, ur advice is needed.
Thanks buddies.

States can sponsor you at any time, as long as their quota hasn't been exhausted. 190 visas are not subject to occupation ceilings.

189 is better, as it allows you live anywhere from the get go. 190 requires a 2yr committment.

No implications from choosing both. Just that if 190 invites you first, your skill select will be locked and unavailable for 189.

Actually with 189,my points will be 60 bt with 489,my points is 65. Now which one gives me a better chance of getting ITA from NT.

NT is only able to sponsor 190 and 489...not 189.

If you qualify for 189, go for it. If you don't, go for 190. 489 should be a last option.

Also, NT is notorious for rejecting 190 applications, and offering 489 instead. This happens when they are not so sure you will stay the 2yrs.

Different states have different POF requirements.

Some require just a declaration, no evidence.
Some require only evidence of a cash portion, and just a declaration of assets.
Some require evidence of the entire amount in cash.


From what I can see on the NT website, the POF is a total of your net assets. This can be cash, shares, property valuations etc.

This forum is very informative. I appreciate those that put effort in creating the thread.

I would like to ask, at what time of the application process do you need to show POF? kindly assist to highlight.

Showing POF is not set in stone. It depends on the kind of visa and/or state that is sponsoring you.

Thanks for ur response once again.

Yeap. Technically, you are not paying for the exam at first. It is more of a pre-qualifying stage. If they feel you need to do some extra courses or a bridging course before the exam, they will let you know.

But the fees won't be refunded after assessment. Don't worry, I doubt you will be found unworthy.

great efamily and my ogas please can you help with these.

1.as a pr dependent,can one enter oz before the principal applicant and are the previledges thesame.

2.after been prompted to apply,how much will be paid to australian gov on visa189 or 190 for a family of four(2 kids)

3.after been granted,how long can one stay outside oz.

thanks a bunch @bellong@scrollmwout and others pls

1. Yes you can enter before the primary applicant. The privileges are the same...no difference at all. The visas are independent of each other, once approved.

2. I know the visa fees have been increased. But for 2 adults and 2 kids in 2014, the total was about A$6,300. Exchange rate fluctuates between 130-140 naira to 1 AU$.

3. The permanent residency visa is a bit tricky. I will just list out the points.
a. The visa itself is valid for 5yrs, if you intend travelling in and out. But at the same time, you can live in Aus indefinitely on the same visa, if you don't intend travelling out of the country.
b. If you intend travelling out and returning to the country after the 5yrs is up, and you don't have citizenship, you will need a RRV (Resident Return Visa). It is advisable to get it onshore before leaving. It takes just 1-2days if onshore, but up to a week if offshore.
c. But, to qualify for a RRV, you must have stayed a total of 2 years (it can be a combination of different short stays) during the 5yr period.
d. There are some exceptional circumstances where a stay of less than 2yrs can be accepted.
e. You have to validate your visa within 1yr of medicals and/or pcc.

I was doing some research for a friend that's a vet. On the AVBC website it talks about recognized schs in some countries and Nigeria isn't there, does it mean that those who studied in Nigeria won't even be able to write the exam not to talk of getting assessed? Because according to a checklist, if u cant answer "yes" that your qualification is on the list of generally recognized qualifications u cant be assessed. Please if u have any idea about vets point me in the right direction.

No. It means graduates of those schools do not need to write an examination. Graduates of Vet from schools not listed there, have to put in a request for the exam by submitting a couple of documents and paying the fee. Once they are assessed as qualified to write the exam, they will be given the go ahead.

The exam is in 2 phases....basically theory and practical....but at different times. Once you pass both components, you are then eligible to register, which in turn makes you eligible for a skill assessment.

Skill assessment is what is required at the visa application stage.

Am becoming anxious that page does not open anytime I try it.

As a nurse with a degree from a Nigerian university, you will need to do a transition course of at least 3mths. This transition course will be done at a University in Australia.

It might be more than 3mths though. When you submit your documents to ANMAC, they will advise you of which stream you qualify for...3mths, 6mths or 1yr.

You will have to. Your uni will stamp and certify a copy of your certificate. You can send the certificate yourself, but your transcript has to be sent by the school. If you are lucky, you can plead with the person in charge of sending transcripts to include the certified copy of the certificate in the envelope, so you don't pay for courier twice.

Seconded.

Not eating well doesn't relate to green poop. It's d iron content of what d baby is eating. It happened to my son. I got so worried that I took a diaper containing d poop to d hospital lol but d Paed said everything was fine it's just d iron content in his milk


I think what she meant is the baby is not emptying one b reast before proceeding to the next...which in turn makes him get more foremilk than the fat-rich hind milk. My baby had it too, and it stopped when I adjusted

So her saying 'not eating well' might be not properly sucking right

It is not an infection. Seems like your baby is not taking enough hind milk. Ensure your baby empties one br east, before moving to the other one, at each feeding. My first cild had the same issue,but when i started emptying one b reast , before switching, it stopped.
