E Fam,
I greet you all.
I'm so happy I can't just contain it. Waking up to a mail from VETASSESS almost gives one a high BP as one is not sure of VETASSESS and their ways. However, lo and behold, it was POSITIVE.
Assessment lodged 11th August...
Positive outcome 26th September...that's about 6weeks and some days.

Glory be to God almighty.....I am very happy for you. congratulations. God's speed all the way

Haaaaaaa, Egbon Justwise please don't vex.

Kindly help us unban our dearest brother (Bellong), na beg we dey beg oh

I am sure you know how much he means to us. E joo, Please, biko, du'Allah

Thank you in anticipation that you will accede to our plea

Congratulations Yeeshas. God bless your journey

Yeeshas:
Good morning e-family. As it has always been my habit(bad habit) I have always tended towards being a silent passive reader (I answer questions o because plenty people PM me and I answer o, lol guilty conscience is worrying me)

Anyway, I am first of all grateful to God and second, my biggest thank you goes to Bellong (May the Lord perfect all that concerns you in Jesus Name Sir).

To everyone who recently got their grant and ITAs, I say big congratulations to you all.

I want to also say a very big thank you to this e-family, without this forum, I probably won't be a PR visa holder today.

I have gotten my grant, for me, my husband and our son yesterday morning by 5.34 am. I will come back to put a detailed timeline but I lodged on the 18th of May (190 NSW Visa) on my Mum's birthday and at exactly 4 months, 18th of September, on my nieces' birthday, grant came. I am super thankful to you all and I am most grateful to God.

Thank you MamaJaz, Ucheylee, everyone really, everyone. Thank you and God bless!

PS: Please continue to ask me questions, I won't hesitate to answer or be of help.

@phlunter01,

Ozy is right. I didn't use a birth certificate when I applied. I only uploaded the data page of my passport as evidence of age.

@Rooneyboy,

You can appeal by addressing whatever they raised in the negative outcome and if you have any, provide additional documents. Yes, you can rewrite the job descriptions.

Thank you very much Bro

OzyMigrant:
Hello Phlunter,

Try save yourself some stress by not including the birth certificates in your application.Your passports are enough as proof of age - birth certs have no bearing in visa application except for age verification.

If the names are consistent on other documents then you guys should be fine. Just leave the birth certs out.

As for your daughter, her immunisation card surfaces - that was what I submitted in place of yellow card in my case. Even my wife too didn't go through the immunisation procedure, it was only stated in her card that she was breastfeeding, hence cannot immunize.

Hope that helps.

Thank you very much. Yes it helps

Thanks mama

mamajaz:
@phlunter01, that baby part, I will send ozymigrant's deed about to you. Meanwhile, is there anyone heading to Sydney before the week runs out? I 'll be more than grateful if such a one can allow God to use him/ her for me.

Please all,

I have some clarifications I need as i am preparing to lodge my visa application;

1. My name on my birth certificate shows only my surname and 1 given name e.g Jackson, Rose while my name on all other documents includes a second given name e.g Jackson, Rose Daisy. is it ok or do I need to do any kind of explanation

2. My husband (secondary applicant) has his surname and 3 given names on his birth certificate e.g Paul John Ralph Reed while on all his other documents, one of the given names which appears first on the birth certificate has been excluded e.g Paul, Ralph Reed. is it ok or do I need to do any kind of explanation

3. My baby is only 8 months old and is not due for the yellow fever vaccine so we did not get a yellow card for her from port health, however she has her national immunization records card issued by the public health centre which we used during medicals. i hope this is okay for her own immunisation evidence.

4. My PTE report had been sent to DIBP from Pearson directly a while ago, do i need to go back and resent it when lodging my application?

Your kind suggestions/advice will be appreciated.

Thank you

Ok, about the PTE, in addidtion to all the tips that different people had been giving on the thread.

For me, All I did was watch all the available youtube videos on PTE (I went to youtube and typed Pearson Test of English/ PTE)
Another thing I did was i went to google to check "how to describe graphs"

Most of the speaking is always about describing one diagram or graph so its important to know how to describe it so that you wont start rambling.

I also ensured that during the test I was speaking very clearly even when you think you are off point just keep talking and don't pause for more that a few seconds.

You must know how to verbally express commas and full stops because it counts.

then practice essay writing from those practice test.....(i don't have any but i know you can get from someone on this thread)

can't remember much for now, but I hope i have been able to assist small

Michaelamo:
