Good afternoon Friends. I have study visa for july intake to study master of Engineering Professional, majoring in Technology and Management. Also have been working as a quality Control Welding inspector for 6 years with Certification Cswip 3.1(this is like a license from Training institute in the UK) and i intend to continue with my Profession in Australia during or/and after my Masters program. my question to the gurus in the house is my chances of getting Permanent resident after study.
Note: my Bsc is in agricultural and Bioresources Engineering in Nigeria. thank you

Which occupation do you intend to nominate?

NHQGUY:


It's a lot to type but you can do your independent research.
In summary, the case officer will look at the whole years claimed (including that cut off by any assessing body). As long as you are doing the roles described in the occupation list and you have supporting documents, you will be deemed skilled in the eyes of DHA.

I get you but I have my own concerns with this!
No one wants to go through that stress of putting the decision for DHA to refuse or grant your visa because one decides to claim extra points.

Until DHA and assessing bodies agree to scrap those deductions directly, I won’t advise anyone to claim points not approved and have high blood pressure on “what if” DHA decides to support my assessing authority decision and refuse my visa.

Hello All,

I am new here & am making enquires on behalf of my Husband
Please, what are his chances in this Australia skilled workers.

Hubby is 41yrs of age
Graduated from FUTO 2016
Studied Mechanical engineering
Has over 15yrs of experience in Mec. Eng.
On the skilled list I saw Mechanical engineer ANZSCO code 233512

Wife has a Bsc Marketing
With 5yrs experience in Sales & Marketing

Questions?
Do you see this flying Sirs?
Under Australia qualifying framework, (AQF) what tier is FUTO ranked?
Also, can he apply for a level one occupational assessment?
Will He get a positive assessment?
Also, please what's CDR?

I don't know how to go about the accessment cos I just stumbled on this page & and am still reading and gathering information.

Your advice & response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

His profile can fry.
Does he have pension or tax statement for all those years?

15 years but graduated in 2016?
Since he studied a 5 year course, university tier does not apply. That means he can assess for any level
Check EA website for what CDR is and what it entails

Hello House,

Pls can i file an EOI for Visa 189,190 & 491 at the same time?

I await to read your response. Thanks in anticipation.

Yes but advisable to do
EOI 1: 189
EOI 2: 190 and 491 for a state
EoI 3 : 190, 491 for another state and continue like that. Only one EoI for 189 please

Hello guys please forgive my ignorance, I have an Australian girlfriend that I am dating and she is coming to Nigeria next week please I want to know after getting married in the court, how long or how do I start to go over there with her, because both of us have little knowledge on how it works

Several options:
She can file partner visa for you
(There is the temporary one then the permanent one) it takes a long time though.

If you have a skill in the occupation list, you can also go through skilled migration and get 189 or 190 faster!

Hello, good morning sir / maa.
I have been a silent follower, reading and following up on the Japa to Australia topics.

am 32 years
i graduated 2016 as an architect from futa, served for a year 2017, since then I have been working as a self employed architect ( I registered my companys name in 2018 and I have been doing designing, construction and consulting ) and also working as a remote architect doing 3d / 2d designer for one of my oga but he didn't offered me employment letter
, though I can request for it if needed.
I will like to know my chances applying as an architect draftsman or as an architect or landscape architect. the ANZSCO CODE IS 312199... please guys kindly help us with your advice. may Almighty God lands us to where our hearts desires.

my wife is 32years
she is a quantity Surveyor with HND holder as at 2018...

You can assess as an architectural Draftsperson as long as you claim that. You cannot claim or have any resemblance of an architect in your profile.
Do you have your tax filings from 2018?

Your spouse cannot assess as a Quantity surveyor cos it’s a level 1 and HND cannot assess level 1.

Hello guys,
I recently received invitation for 491 visa from NSW (onshore). However, I also lodged eoi for 190 just few days ago as I complete compulsory 6months stay and continues stay in nsw. Now I want to know if it matters to use the same email address I used in the eoi for 491. I really want 190 due to family size. If I were single or we don't have kids yet I would probably just take the 491. But I only accepted it and just waiting the next 60days to see when my 190 invite will drop. I have the faith it will drop. Do I create another eoi with a different email address instead? Or it doesn't matter if I use the same email ID for different EOI account? Pls your advice is needed from anyone who has had similar experience...

You can use same email.
If your current visa is not expiring soon, pls ignore the 491 invitation even after 60 days. You have a good chance of getting 190 and it’s not worth paying double fees

nel4k:


Hello,

Please just to confirm, do you need to specifically select NSW and 491 only in your skillselect?
Also, can I lodge multiple EOI?

You can create one for 491 only.
You can also lodge multiple EOIs

Hello guys.. I recently moved to Australia Townsville in Queensland for a 2 year Master program in MBA. And am to resume studies by May. Just settled for Accomodation and hoping to hear from gurus in the house. How best I can catch up with getting a side job just to keep up feeding and rent for the meantime.

Quick one please, has anyone tried changing campus on arrival before resuming studies. Let’s say my School has their campuses both in Brisbane and Townsville. And I wish to join the campus in Brisbane. How best can one go about it before resuming studies??

Thanks for the advice.1. Pls am i using the same email and every other of my information to fill the respective visa's/state? hope it'll not jeopardize my chances? thanks in anticipation of your reply

Hello House.

Kindly advice for these questions. Thanks n God bless

The below questions for assessment with ACS.

Consolidate all pages into one PDF document for each qualification and each employment entry?If documents are digitally signed do not combine with any other document. 1.does this means i will seperate for eg.bank statement that was presigned in pdf or reference letter that was digitally signed?
2.Should i merge all documents (university certificate and transcript) for any qualification in one PDF?
3.Should i merge all documents (all payslips, all contracts, work experience, bank statement) for any employment in one pdf?

Please i need a your advice house

Yes
Is only NSW that you can do that, you can submit add other states in one EOI. Yes you can submit multiple EOI

Hello,

Please just to confirm, do you need to specifically select NSW and 491 only in your skillselect?

Vincentosa:



Please note that only employment after Graduation is considered skilled employment when you lodge your assessment application. So if your spouse graduated in 2016, and he has been working thereafter, only this segment of his employment will be considered important.
Do not include any employment before his graduation from uni in your assessment application and that of your EOI.

Thanks for your response, I get that, 2016 there was a mistake, it's 2006 instead.

tunlex01:

His profile can fry.
Does he have pension or tax statement for all those years?

15 years but graduated in 2016?

Thank you for your response,
2016 was a mistake, it's 2006 he graduated,
And yes he has pension and Tax statement for those years.

I didn’t assess as a procurement manager but I did assess a different occupation.
What I did was to send the request via email and my company responded declining my request. I took the email request and designed the organogram using the company chart as at that time. Then visited High court in Lagos to get a statutory declaration for it.
I attached my design, stat declaration and email response from my HR to my application and got a positive assessment

sir, Please i don't understand your question. make it more clearer. i don't know any occupation That's related to my experience or the Course I'm about to study. thank you.

tunlex01:

Which occupation do you intend to nominate?

Hello All,

I am new here & I have followed up on the previous threads.
I'm in my mid 20s and have a BSc in Mechanical Engineering from a Federal University. I also have 1 year+ of experience in working in an Agro-processing factory as a Production Operator. Mech. Eng as an occupation appears to be an obvious choice for skills assessment, but I understand one can stand a better chance of getting invitation using other related (lower skilled) occupations. Considering my profile, please what occupations and perhaps visa types should I consider at this stage. Thank you

Hello house,

Pls i need ur advice for submitting for ACS assessment.

1. I have 13years experience in ICT which i worked for a IT service provider for 7years ( attained 2 different positions with same company).2010 - 2017.

2. Currently working with a teleco for 6years now in IT related as well from 2017 till date. I have all payment evidence for my current job but i'm trying to get my payslip for my previous company which is over 10years ago, but dont know if i can use my tax certificate records which can only reflect for the last 3 years remittance for my current company and not the previous. Unfortunately, i do not have pension while working with the previous company and the bank statement does not show the company name..so for my first company im left with Tax records & payslip.

However, i read this below on ACS website for employment payment evidence older than 10 years:

Please note, in some cases obtaining payment evidence older than 10 years before the date of submission may be difficult therefore ACS will take this into consideration when assessing the overall merits of an application

Pls help

I will advise you submit all you have with employment letter and the bank statements (highlight the salary) and include a letter of explanation as long as the salary consistent.

DO you have tax records for your previous organisation from 2010-2017?
for your current company, get all your tax records not the last 3 years only. If you work in lagos for example, obtain that from LIRS online chat. It's a statement showiing PAYE tax paid by your company on your income from 2017 till date

Thanks for the feedback.

I was remitting tax while with my previous company which my information was carried over to this current company ( my tax ID).

As a matter of fact, my etcc card (Tax certificate) carries my previous company name with my name on the card becos im using the same tax ID. but since i cannot get my tax records from 2010 - 2017. i'll be using the payslips cos bank statement doesn't carry any company name.

i also noticed on the etcc card (tax certificate) a letter in my middle name was omitted as printed on the card and in the information on it. hope this is not a problem?

Asking for a friend - if NCE in Electrical and Electronic Education can be used as formal qualifiation for Electrical Engineering Technician for TRA.

Any Geologist going through this process?
