Most Nigerian employers are like that. In my layman's opinion, what you have listed above plus your letter(s) of employment/confirmation/promotion should be enough to establish the authenticity of your employment claim.

How about getting a trusted senior colleague to write some sort of personal reference for you? It should be "To Whom It May Concern" so that you won't have to go back to him on it.

You may go further by obtaining a written job description of your job role from your company's HR as a supporting documentation.

Borrowing an idea from the Canadian Immigration thread, you may write a brief explanation as to why you were unable to obtain one from your HR i.e. it is not in your company's policy to issue such letters to a serving staff.

At least, the latter is what my employer told me when I requested for such a letter.

NB: The above are my layman's opinion.

Omooloriredade:


Thanks. I'll weigh the options after meeting with them in January.

bellong:


Don't disturb yourself with any meeting. Just do a statutory declaration and explain why you couldn't get a letter. Add those documents as back up and you will be fine.

@mamajaz

Looking at the two results, you have made some progress. Please don't give up. Success is around the corner.

By the way, I always enjoy how you spice up the thread humour and positivity that you radiate.

Prepare well again and give it a shot. Cheers

For a journey that started sometime in 2013,I'm very happy and so grateful to God that we received our 189 grant mail this morning.
A big thank you to BossLadyMo who was there from the very beginning and of course Sir Bellong who encouraged me when I was feeling overwhelmed at some point.To everyone who has responded to my enquiries at one time or the other,this is saying THANK YOU.
My family and I are getting set for Melbourne as I type.
The journey so far;
Applied with Vetassess as internal auditor in August or so 2013 and got a negative report after over four months.
Encouraged by another who's gotten his grant,we tried ICAA as external auditor in June 2014.After over 3months,they asked us to provide a corrected transcripts as the one we submitted omitted some courses.
Trust Nigeria institutions,we enter one chance trying to get a fresh transcript.
At this point,my Oga(principal applicant) say he's not doing again.He asked for his documents and money back from ICAA.Na there the journey terminate in 2014.
After plenty cajoling,prayers and pampering,hubby agreed to try again with Icaa in 2015.He Waka tire and spent money trying to get a fresh transcript which he now sent again to ICAA.
October 2015,we were positively assessed.We lodged Eoi with 60points(hubby wrote Ielts thrice by the way to get 7 minimum).
February 2016 he wrote Pte and we moved up to 70points.
When invite didn't show by May,he applied to ICAA with same documents and was positively assessed as accountant.
August 2016,we got four invites!!! 189 accountant and 189 external auditor.Then 190 accountant and 190 external auditor from Nsw.
We went with 189 external auditor and lodged on Aug 3rd.Uploaded all documents.
Then late August,there were issues with hubby"s X-rays and he was asked to do further X-rays.They still were not satisfied and asked for a sputum test.We were quite frustrated.
Finally on Nov 28th,his medicals were cleared.
On Dec 7th he was sent a health declaration form 815 to fill and submit.
Dec 22nd,we got our grant for the whole family.
Pls forgive any errors.I no fit modify

utcheylee:
Hello everyone is it necessary for our spouse to write English test when nominating 190 or 489 visa? Should we just use to whom it may concern from his school.

I know that the next pte test will be my last so am putting all documents together.

jamson:


Ordinarily, a letter of proficiency would suffice. But a case was brought up on this same thread where the CO rejected the letter and instead asked for an English test result.

So I guess it is a matter of who is reviewing who and as for me ooo, I have taken my wife to write PTE to avoid stories that touch the heart with unnecessary delay.

@Omooloriredade

The "Oracle" has spoken!

Oga bellong, please I need a little clarity on this "Statutory Declaration". Tried to Google this thread for an explanation but maybe I missed it.

Is it like the "affidavit" that we do in court affirming certain information? Who prepares/signs it? The applicant or another person e.g. a senior colleague? Does it have a specified format?

I just want to be sure that I got it right. Thanks for your anticipated clarification.

Vinsmuft:


The statutory declaration must be prepared by the other person, not you. I have attached the one I did for my job assessment. Note that I masked out all personal info

bellong:


I actually did mine myself and get it notarized by a notary public.

bellong:
@Cecegal,

What is the hiccup? Care to share
