Yes it takes about 2-3 months before you get their outcome, and yes TRA can be strict but I got a positive outcome with a BSc from them.

Dear Sir,

We will finalise your application as soon as applicable. Thank you very much for your patience in this matter.

Pls is the above signature same as yours when your got a response from them? I PM you but you didnt reply me.

NNBB2012:
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

Azy123:
So far, what we know is that you can claim education point for your highest qualification obtained in any discipline as far as the point you are claiming is correct according to the AQF equivalent.

Azy123:
Congratulations to you.

Your education point is 15 points. Don't shortchange yourself o.

you can claim point for the education even if ACS did not say anything about it as far it is a 5 years course in a section 2 university or 4 yr course in section 1 university.

No need to assess with Vetasses at all. Don't waste time and money. You only need to do that if your assessing authority says they can not assess your degree and refer you to vetassess. in your case ACS is silent on it.

Please submit another EOI ASAP with 75 points.



Abeg I go need PTE training from you o.

Guys I just did some google search on this immi assessment commencement email and I got confusing interpretations. Anyone with a better understanding on what this email is about. Does it means I have to wait longer for further processing?

jayooh:
But the dpi it's giving ain't up to 300, though docs are quite clear. Does it matter or is there a way I can set it to 300dpi? Currently giving me 96

Baba OzyMigrant attend pls

If the trade test is supported by verifiable formal training. She should be able to scale through but I'm a little bit sceptical about the work experience thingy...

For each year of self-employment:
• business registration documents (duly registered according to you)
• relevant trade or business licences (Local government permit should do or beta still get one from her association )
• annual business returns (Get an accounts to draw the business returns)
• statement from a registered/certified accountant if applicable ( She can ignore dis)
• taxation documents citing the name of the business (Get tax receipt from LIRS)

Alphadoor:
Apologies if I sound offensive
I was only trying to explain your point further..

Na DIBP cause an

Alphadoor:
While frontloading does not translate to direct grant , however it reduces and in some cases eliminated CO contact thereby reducing Processing time either for a positive or negative outcome.

Direct Grant is not guaranteed by anything until given by DIBP, however u can play your part well by submitting a decision ready application by FRONTLOADING

noscarn91:
11 months chai , person fit born pikin and visa still never go commot, it is well

greeneophyte:
I am thinking I should wait a bit further, before sending a reminder. On the other hand, I'm hoping for a direct grant as I front loaded everything.

afolaseg:
Pls, how can reminder be sent ?

greeneophyte:
No
Indeed no one seems to know what is causing the delay for sure. It's all speculations. I lodged on May 10 and there hasn't been a single CO contact not Immi Commencement Email since lodgement. It seems a lot is happening at the same time with DIBP. New software platfrom, RE-organisation and massive Downsizing in the visa processing unit, the new Home affairs department, etc. I guess we haven't got a choice other than to wait and pray for some pleasant surprises.

Alphadoor:
Thanks

"still some people got grant in weeks even when it was 4 months and 7 months for 75% and 90%. So that shouldn't be our worry; na to get the invite be the koko now. smiley Leave them to write what they want."

@zoew Am with you on this one jare ... DIBP cannot give us HIBP

Alphadoor:
Kindly quote your source.

Thanks

jayooh:
Talking of scanning, the "scanned by camscanner imprint", what does it matter?

lalaazo:

the hustle is taking a new turn; DIBP made changes to waiting/processing times for SC189 @ 8months and 11 months minimum for 75% as well as 90% of application being processed respectively, update as at 20 July,2017( for the month ending June 2017). Now the long wait continues..........

3.2 Qualification documents
For your application to be registered by TRA, it must include evidence of formal training and outcomes that can be considered comparable to the AQF qualification for your nominated occupation. Therefore, the following documents must be included with your application:
• final qualification/s or apprenticeship certificate or award
• a full academic transcript or other documents that include the start and end date of your training and details of the program of study
• apprenticeship documents such as the contract of apprenticeship, journal or any other relevant document from your employer, governing body or training institution relating to your apprenticeship if applicable.

The following items cannot be used as a substitute for a qualification:
• occupational licences
• trade tests not supported by comparable and verifiable formal training
• short course certificates such as single day or single subject training
• work experience.

The above info is from TRA's website

They tried but I think they can do better to attract more customers especially the monthly sub.

1gb for 1 K only few will opt for this

True. Professional CDR writers will always ask you to write your ~episodes~ experience yourself. They only structure/ arrange your write-up to fit the format requested of EA. Do you have an idea of how Resume writers operate? You would understand my point. They can't concoct your experience. Can you pay someone to rewrite your resume? You then begin to wonder the justification for the fees they charge. Hence the reason why DIY is encouraged here. Google sample CDR,Resume or cover letters and you could do the job yourself. But I wouldn't say enlisting the services of pros is wrong. I hope you find the CDR, Resume and Cover letter comparisons applicable here.
Do you also appreciate that you can apply for Visas yourself(and it's encouraged) but that doesn't make agents criminals except for the ones that lack integrity and manufacture (lol) documents for clients?

Before I begin to appear as an agent/jobber, make I rest my case for here. Just thoughts .... nothing serious.

Omooloriredade:
Your post got me thinking. My intention is not to argue but to clarify (better still, seek clarity).
I'm aware of registered Mara agents that assist in CDR writing. EA encourages individual effort but I don't think seeking CDR writers is criminally or morally wrong. I see them just as I see professional Resume or CV writers. The content of the CDR must be your personal experience and not just spurious claims.

However, this thread is a DIY from start to finish.

The link above is an example (their service is not tested but used for the purpose of this discussion)

spyroxy1:
Thanks bro! This is well noted

spyroxy1:
What are you talking about? What do you mean by Notorious trade. Did I ask you for money?

What audacity do you have to call me names?

People I didn't know helped me, and I am ready to help too. Infact I have people that have I have helped in the same regard in the past.

Don't be rude to me young man!

majiouk2002:
I think its a delay e-mail. It most probably gives an indication that your application is in its final stages. Someone once reported that, It was just a 'two week' gap between that response and his grant.

Be hopeful. You are almost there. GOD willing!

Phlunter01:
@Ozymigrant which visa category did you apply for, 189 or 190? Secondly this is a bit confusing, are they saying because you applied towards the end of 2016/2017 they cannot allocate a slot from the approved numbers in this year 2017/2018 to you?

Anyone with a clearer understanding should please assist.
