This is serious oh.. Someone told me about moneygram.. That the rates are lower there(about 350) You will need an account of someone overseas for it. Find out more about it. Let all your efforts not waste away.

metrecube:


How much did you finally pay for the assessment in Naira? Did you pay with your bank or someone helped you from AUS? Congratz in advance.

Omo I went to like 5 banks and this moneygram thing wasn't working, Diamond said I must come by 8 a.m as the window closes by 8:04 and that they have a quotation which the entire branches I Nigeria try to fill within those 4 mins. Some other bank no longer do moneygram. My only other option was to use my first bank and pay the USD equivalent of 760 AUD which is about 580 USD and about 270k in Naira. I finally found a relative who didn't need naira but just helped and paid for me while I sent 760 AUD at N270 per AUD to her. Wonder how I will pay for the Visa when I get to that stage.

Wao. this is serious ooooo. I pray i find someone to assist me too. I'm still waiting for advisory service, applied since August 30th, more than 20 working days already. I pray they respond soon. Everything about vetassess is slow and they give negative assessment any how. Congratz in advance bro. I'm following after you.

am also trying to pay 1000AUD for my assessment have been to many banks here in Nigeriaand was told its not possible to transfer naira to someone abroad, i was advised to open a dorm account, then go to black market to buy USD to make the payment, doing that will be too expensive

@Bnimz,

The last two are subjective in nature, if I were you, I would appeal the two.

Too bad ke. This is not bad. Are you looking for 20 points? i'm not sure calling for a review would be a nice step coz of 7.5 in two modules. It will be better if its only one module. You can go for PTE - A if you want to claim 20 points from English proficiency.

I heard remarrking takes a long time.. Like 6weeks plus. Confirm it from the ielts thread and if its true, its advisable to start considering pte.

I need 20 points.. i've already lost 5 points from age, and I don't have enough work experience to claim. As it stands, a positive assessment will put me at 50 points .. na why I talk say "Too bad" .. No be say band 8.5 bad .. haba.. .. na the score arrangement no pure for its intended use.

PTE - A is d best option coz i'm not sure you can use it for your assessment while its under re-evaluation. AS mctowel01 suggested you may need to confirm the time frame for the remarking. I believe you will get through with PTE-A

Read the eligibility criteria guide for ACS assessment, you will need minimum 2yrs "relevant experience" in the field you nominated in the last 10 yrs to be eligible for assessment. Just to be on the safe side, 500AUD aint no small change.
ACS does not nominate but rather verify if you qualification is suitable or unsuitable.
My 2 cents

Check the number of weeks you have to appeal. if it is up to 4weeks, use it for EA assessment (fast track), then appeal after it.

yes i read eligibility criteria. for visa 485, we don't need work experience but the degree should be from austrailian institute. wtf is this ? they dont trust other countries ?. i have degree from germany. will they consider me ?

Na the way forward be that I believe.. I just hope EA doesn't assess me as a Technologist... That one go just throw cold water on my ginger

The struggle continues.

Hope your transcript has reached them? I think it will help hasten the process. I mean for when you apply for assessment.

ACS guide noted that ; You can apply For visa 485 skill assessment ONLY if you have an Australian degree (pg.3).
I doubt you qualify if your degree is not from and Australian Uni. Buh if your degree was acquired from Australia then you are good to go.
