Thanks bellong.his EOI has been updated back to 189.want to ask a question and I hope this isn't silly.when an invite to apply is sent,is it to his email address or he gets it in his skill select correspondence?

ENGRJCJ:

@ chi50 @ 2posh
how many pages can an SOP for visa application be

pingu2k5:
It appears the occupation ceiling has been reached for External Auditors for this financial year, except there is an error on the skill select page (link below). What this means is that no further invites to apply for 189 visa will be sent for this occupation till maybe July 2016.

Occupation ceiling does not affect 190 visa. I will advise you update your EOI to include 190. You can use one EOI to show interest for 189 and 190. When updating your EOI for 190, you will see the option to select the state you want sponsorship from. You will also see the option of "any state" for sponsorship. I read somewhere that states give preference to those that specifically chose them ahead of those that selected "any state" in their EOI.

For NSW, that is all you need to do. NSW will send you an invite to apply for sponsorship via email. Once the application is approved, you will automatically get an invite to apply for 190 visa. Check second link below for the requirements of the various states.

It depends on school & weather they are in peak or non peak period, the fastest have seen is 7days, it maybe more or less.

chi50:

Dnt exceed 2 pages to avoid being boring. remember they said "short statement "

Hi, please anyone that did their assessment with engineers australia, how did you go about sending your IELTS to them?

EEAA:

Hello Mikey, what course are you going for at ECU? Mine is master of Nursing. I've not seen anyone going to ECU since I joined this thread, so I'm excited when you mentioned ECU

Mikey:

Hello house,
Glory to God,after 3 attempts with 2different assessing bodies under 2different occupations and 3 ielts,hubby has finally gotten a positive assessment from Icaa as an external auditor!
As it stands now,his points are 60 so we will have to go the 190 way and request for state sponsorship.
Pls has anyone applied to NSW,Tasmania or South Australia for sponsorship?what's the procedure like? responses will be greatly appreciated.

doomel:


Thanks alot. I thought i saw some where that am to send from britishcouncil to them. How long did your assessment take?

@NNBB2012. Its been a while i've been on this Australian PR race if you remember...had to pause because i had some personal things to put in place before leaving this country which i've done.

I'm a Civil Engineer with 3 years work experience(by November including NYSC) as i'm still working where i served. I also just heard EA now has a 1 week fasttrack assessment option for $900 which i'd definitely go for to save time. I've done IELTS General and got 8,8.5,7,7.5 which gives me 10 points and i'm less than 32 which also gives me 30 points...also have 15 points for my B.tech degree. My total point now stands at 55 and i need your advice on which path to follow among the 3 options i have.

1. Go for state nomination as i checked via Anzscosearch and can see about 5 states sponsoring my occupation.

2. Write PTE Academic and work hard to score 79 in each ability in order to get 20 points and just use my ielts for EA assessment only.

3. Claim 5 points for my 3 work experience which i'm skeptical because i dont have pension or tax proof for my Nysc work duration or do you think my 6 month salary statement would suffice in this regard. I heard app processing are faster, doesnt require extra work documents and hassle free when points are not claimed for work experience.

Would really appreciate your advise on this.

Thanks

NNBB2012:

Good one! Indeed, it's been a while. Although I always read comments on the thread.

With your good IELTS result, you can quickly go for your assessment. The goodnews now is there is fasttrack path which you rightly mentioned. I know of someone that got her positive assessment within 24hrs.

It would be good if you could get supporting documents for your NYSC period because that would help you to get 5 points on experience. Otherwise, you would be at the mercy of states which is very slow these days, particularly, NSW. You could give PTE-A a go and see if you could make 20points from it to boost your points and then go for 189.

Hello house, I'm in serious need of you guys help. I applied for a visa and now the case of officer contacted me requesting for my Nigeria PCC. I'm currently in Australia and I don't have any Idea on how to get the PCC to her within two weeks. They said my finger print and presence is needed to get it, and the procedure outlined on the Nigeria immigration website for getting it will take more than two weeks. I need suggesting on the fastest way to obtaing it by proxy pls. I'm currently on bridging visa.
Cheers

johnsontade:


The problem is that i was paid cash all through my youth service with no payslip, tax or pension statement to back it up or do you think my 6 month salary statement would suffice since its the same coy all through. Would definitely give PTE-A a go.

What is the current economic situation in Australia like? Would i have to do bridging course to boost my job chances or go for a tafe diploma? Sent you a PM.

Thanks

Ifexsco:
What date does you employment letter have? That is an issue. If you can get your employment letter to read the start of you NYSC, then fine....but one golden rule is never forge anything, they must definitely will find out....think of this also, have you mentioned NYSC anywhere in your former applications? Don't contradict yourself.

mozo:


Kai.. If only Vetassess had fast track

bhanjjie:
I wish I could simply download all pages on this thread as pdf and read when I am idle.

johnsontade:


I think i should be able to get my employment letter reading the start of my NYSC. I have not had any former applications to Australia and won't categorically state any period as Nysc as i've been a full staff even as at then...only that i wasn't getting paid too well and also without tax and pension. I personally would prefer not to claim work experience points to avoid extra hassles if i can get up to 60 points without it as i've read on forums that processing are always faster when your CO isn't bothered about allocating work experience points as the applicants won't be required to submit additional document for proof.

Thanks pingku.i did some reading yesterday(including your past posts) and realized same.will definitely update the EOI to include 190 application as well and select NSW.Theres a part that asks if applicant wouldn't mind living outside the capital city,is that a yes or no answer?
Then also,can I select 2states at the same time(SA and NSW)?I say so becos nsw hasn't sent out invites for a while now(expat forum gist).good thing though is they still have 4000 slots to fill before their next financial year.
What do you think.I have looked up SA requirements and we can easily meet it.Theres no immediate rush though
