Aim at 8.0 or above...but u said u don't intend to gain points from skills assessment? Because u don't have any work experience...are u an accountant? Calculate very well oh.
Work experience assessment is called skilled employment assessment where I intend to gain point is skill assessment which is assessment of my academic qualifications. Yes I am an accountant. Aiming for 8 and above....I super need it.

Thanks NNBB2012,

I spent only 3 years in school, cos i got admitted via direct entry? Do you think i stand a chance of positive response From vetassess? Do you think i should include my IJMB result for better chance?

cc: bossladymo1


Ps: occupation is Economist
Hm, that 3yrs alone is an issue. Even Vetassess finds it difficult to equate 4yrs Nigerian degree to 4yrs Australian degree. Well, I would say you should try. It is a risk you need to consider.

Australia doesn't have family sponsorship without individual merits. U can sponsor her if u live in a region and donate only five points.

She can enrol for nursing if there is will and cash. From there she builds her points.
Nomination by an eligible Family in a region is 10points.

Check page 18-19 on EA assessment guide, there is sample of CDR there. You can use that as a guide.

To qualify for 189/190/489, you need 60 points.

The difference is how the 60pts are gotten.

With 189, you need to score 60 on the points table, excluding state nomination points. With 190/489, the 60 can include state nomination points, which is 5 and 10 respectively.

You can mail EA to advise you before you submit your application-memberservices@engineersaustralia.org.au. Personally,I do not see any issue since EA says, " to be recognised as Professional Engineer, you must have completed 4 years Australian Bachelor degree in Engineering or overseas equivalent".

@NNBB2012 and the house
EA got back to me and said that my transcript is what will really be scrutinized so once it conforms to the standards they have set for a professional engineer then I'll be assessed as a professional engineer. I think y most people get associate degree assessment is due to some courses not done during the degree. all departmental courses done during my degree were also done in my ND. but I'll still send both for assessment. I'll suggest that everyone going for assessment shud try to find out courses being offered in that course around the world n try to make up for the ones not in their transcript. cos I think all assessing bodies compare the transcripts to a standard.

You will have to really do your homework very well if you want to immigrate to Australia as a lawyer - by that I mean you should read a lot on the topic. Believe me, it is quite tedious and may cost you a lot of money but besides that, it is possible. The following excerpt, from the link posted by NNBB2012, summarily explains the process as it applies to foreign lawyers (Please note that it was addressed to a UK qualified lawyer):

As a lawyer you will of course be able to read the applicable Migration Regulations from which you will note that what is required is a positive skills assessment. The legislation does not explicitly require you to be admitted as a lawyer in Australia before you can be granted a 189 visa, but does require you to have a positive skills assessment, amongst other things. So, really the question is whether you can get a positive skills assessment without having been admitted as a lawyer in Australia. You have mentioned that you intend to apply for a skills assessment from either Queensland or New South Wales. On the Legal Profession Admission Board of NSW website,it says:

Therefore, in order to obtain a "Skilled Migration Letter", a person will need to have overseas qualifications assessed in accordance with the Board's Rules and the Uniform Principles for Assessing Qualifications of Overseas applicants for admission and then be admitted as a lawyer.

I think you are very unlikely to get a positive skills assessment from NSW without having been admitted as a lawyer in Australia, and I have heard that QLD is even more difficult than NSW, but the NSW Legal Profession Admission Board's advice on their website (quoted above) is not an accurate statement of the legislative requirements set out in the Migration Regulations. That said, it won't help you obtain a positive skills assessment from them, which is what you need. If you can obtain a positive skills assessment from a State Law Admission Authority in Australia based on your current qualifications and experience, then admission in Australia as a lawyer is not a prerequisite to applying for a 189 visa.

For the 189 visa, you will see from the regulations that there are criteria to be met at time of application and at time of grant. The regulations do not provide for meeting the criteria within a timeframe after grant.

In order to be admitted as an Australian lawyer, you will be required to complete some academic subjects and also some PLT (practical legal training) subjects. For the academic part, I am not aware of any possibility of sitting the exams in London and certainly not online (for the exams... though study online may be possible), but for the PLT part, I think the College of Law does have the option of sitting the PLT exams in the UK.
http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/211160-solicitor-applying-visa-189-skills-assessment.html

A colleague of mine just got his qualifications assessed by NSW LPAB, he is required to sit for 13 courses! When you consider it, it is similar to studying for the 3yr JD program. UTS is however arranging a boutique 2yr Masters course that will encompass these subjects. After he is done in two years, he will then be able to sit for the Practical Legal Training Course (PLT) - that's like going to the Law School all over again. I'm not too thrilled to apply for my assessment as it is - I will be doing so anyway as soon as I have the money. I'm not saying this to scare you. You see, the agents who encouraged us to apply for Masters here didn't warn us that the road to PR for lawyers, unlike the other professions, was going to be long and expensive. But what can I say, I have laid my hands on the plow, there is no looking back now.

Best wishes in your quest for PR.
