@NNBB2012 and all other gurus in the house

I read from TRA FAQS that they don't need my English test results to carry out the skills and qualifications assessment.

I want to ask if I can use PTE results for the PR processing and do I really need to build account for the application. If yes like how much for family of 4.

Thanks

@NNBB2012 Many thanks for your selfless service. May God grant you the desires of your heart.

My wife's occupation is Accountant (General) having ANZSCO code of 221111.

Going through the websites of the 3 assessing authorities for her occupation (CPA/CA/IPA), CPA and IPA explicitly requested for IELTS Academic while CA (Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand) only stated IELTS as one of the acceptable English language tests and provided a link to the Australian immigration website.

Interestingly, the website too did not "qualify" the IELTS test as either Academic or General. What do you think about this?

NNBB2012:

CA also needs IELTS academics.

I would advise she should just try PTE Academics. She should practice Speaking well. I do not know most Nigerians do have issue with the speaking component. IELTS Academics is a bit tough than General module.

My fellow E-family, it's been a long journey and today, I am finally ready to share my Success with the House.

As you all know, I applied to Study Nursing at the Australian Catholic University Melbourne Campus but was denied Visa by Pretoria September last year. With the Courage of the great ppl of this house, I didn't give up, I garthered myself and re-applied to Metro College of Technology for an Advanced Diploma of Disability in Brisbane.

After paying my fees, gotten my CoEs and applied for Visa to Pretoria in early November, I called Pretoria towards the Xmas break in December and I was told that my CoEs were Cancelled and my application will now be accessed as an AL3 application.

I was so confused (I used a registered Migration Agent and an Australian Legal Practitioner), I contacted my Lawyer and informed her, she tried calling Pretoria to no avail and then tried contacting the School, no one is answering, we waited till after the Xmas and contacted them again over and over, no response, I almost shit on my pants, my Lawyer then contacted CRISCOS and found out that Metro College has been de-registered(Closed Down) by the Australian Government. Luckily for me, we were able to get in Torch with the CEO whom then refunded my Money to a Trust Account in Australia.

In this case, we have to amend my application which is still at Pretoria, I then applied for a related program at Queensland International Institute (QII) and made the fee payments and sent a fresh application through my Agent/Lawyer to Pretoria, Early January, Pretoria didn't send any response when we kept contacting them, they will keep telling you 3months.

On the 22nd of February, I got an email from my Lawyer with a Refusal Notification from Pretoria, using the Metro CoEs to assess my application after series of emails and phone calls informing them about my new CoEs and application amendments, they still used the old CoEs which they all knew has been cancelled to assess the application (Negligence). My Lawyer hit back and hit hard pointing out a "Jurisdictional Error" to the CO, the case was moved to the Senior Regional Director of Immigration in Africa, she then sent us an email that they have sent my application to their Legal Opinions Department in Pretoria to have a review, that once the Legal Department gives their Opinion, a fresh assessment will be made on my application.

I say "wetin" so to enter Australia again na fight? Where ppl are getting grants here and there my own case is different, to some extent I even thought I was cursed.

I decided to try another route, I actually needed this Nursing, I asked my Cousin about life as a Student in the USA, he told me and also told me that USA rejects Visa like Virus, that it's a no go area, my wife advice me not to be discouraged and that I should try, my friend in Darwin (Australia) kept advising about USA and the good opportunities there, I decided to try.

I applied for Admission in BSN(Nursing) and I also applied to the Embassy with my Family for a B1/B2 Visa, to my greatest surprise, we were all granted. I applied for the Admission early March and last week Thursday, I got an Offer to Study Nursing at University of Central Oklahoma, USA. While I was planning how to attend another Student Visa interview, I contacted my new School and told them I intend to Visit them for 2weeks and return to Nigeria to apply for an F1 Visa. The Office advised me that no need, that if I have a valid Visitors Visa and have not enrolled in a School or take an Employment or breach the Visa by over staying and so on, that I am qualified to change my Status to an F1 Visa.

https://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/students-and-exchange-visitors/students-and-employment/special-instructions-b-1b-2-visitors-who-want-enroll-school

So, I took and deep breath and said "well, that's it" my Fate is in USA. Life is all about persistent and never to give up. My program starts in August and I wan just enter the town go enjoy small for 2 weeks and come back, make I clear all the wahala wey Pretoria gimme since last year.

I will like to advice everyone here, whether you are a Visa applicant or seeking to Study or those already Abroad: you all should never give up in your Quest, God's time is always the best and the greatest, no one or any situation should make you feel regret, stand up to your challenges and set your sails, trust me, you will achieve results.

I dedicate my Special thanks to Almighty God. And I appreciate the Gurus in this House; Laminaira, Mrlinobrawn, Oga Bellong, NNBB, Lawland, Scrollmein, Pmiller, Aussy4me, our BossLadymo1, MPop. And everyone that has contributed to the building of this great thread, I will never forget our main Boss in this House (Oga Justwise) for his good works in keeping this thread alive, may God grant you all your heart desires and strengthen you more.

I urge all of us in this great forum to keep up the good works and never abandon any1 who needs help, we should not run from the house whether we get what we came here for or not, life is a circle and every1 has his/her SET TIME.

God bless you and God bless Nairaland.

Hello team,

I have read through all the pages of this thread, and appreciate the good assistance rendered to people.
I will appreciate if someone can assist me in my chase for PR.
I have B.Eng Chemical Engineering and MSc Finance and Accountancy but never used it to work, worked in a bank for 4 years and started my writing business(age-39). My wife (age-35) has 9 years in Banking and has B.sc Sociology and Anthropology, she is currently studying MBA in Sydney.
My questions are as follows:
1. Is anyone of us eligible for the PR process now because of my lack of experience in the engineering /accountancy field though my wife is considering the customer services manager position on CSOL,
2. I read that Nigerian transcripts and certificates are meant to be sent to them directly, for those that applied - please how did you do it to meet the same time for submission.
3. Please where the work reference letter be addressed to?

Thank you

malkinburg:


The easier way will be to apply using engineers australia as a chemical engineer. Try and nail 8.0 in all bands on either ielts or Pte. Then your good to go. Simple and straight forward. No work experience needed as an engineer. Just your certificate and your well crafted competency demonstration report.

IELTS General
LSRW 8.5, 7, 7, 6.5
This is really poor cos its even 0 points...Kai. Anyway on to PTE. I'll use this one for EA assessment. PTE for points

Congrats to boss scrollmeout, sorry it's coming late. I was "scrolled" out of this thread
Erictack203, congrats bro. I commend you for your perseverance.

NNBB2012:

What is your first degree on?

NNBB2012:

You, you can use PTE since TRA does not require English test. You DO NOT need to build any account for an Australian PR, you only need to pay for your visa.
