IELTS and TOEFL can give 10 points, no sweat broken. For 20 points however, PTE is the way.
Notice that most who don't get 20 points often lose points in 'Speaking' section. The robot has a template to mark to ; once that template can be followed, the rest na beans.

@Yeeshas, I would say google/youtube the speaking tips for PTE and retake. Once the speaking guide(s) can be followed, easy peasy.

20 points from PTE would give you 65 points, saving you the need to claim employment points and it's attendant paperwork; as well, shortening your time-to-grant since there is no DIBP employment verification to be performed. I mean, everyone wants that grant like yesterday.

@Ozymigrant, congratulations to you!

Please clarify your second answer ....because I don't have much to spend on skill assessment. Event though, I really need to claim this work experience point since Mech needs 70pt to get ITA.
So, if it means assessing it first with EA before claiming it, I will do that. If not assessing it will still make me claim it ,ahh better(money saved).

To be clear, I am saying don't spend more than the cost for Standard Competency Demonstration Report (currently 750 AUD) plus the fast track fee of 275 AUD.

You will claim your work experience with DIBP to get the points i.e. on your EOI and then submit all relevant documents for that when applying for your visa.

Yeeshas:
I just got my PTE scores...so pained.

Listening - 82
Reading - 81
Writing - 85
Speaking - 76

Just maybe if I had prepared more. I need 20 points. Really really pained.

Painful, but don't give up now. You're very close.

Hello house,

My family and I just arrived Melbourne safely.We flew Emirates with a 5hour transit in Dubai.Our tickets cost N1,013,000 for two adults,one child and one infant from Iom.
Iom also provided us with escort service in Dubai and that made connection very easy.

Anyways,we chilling at Wollert as I type.
Oknee and everyone else,I await una

@ Jukeblam
since there is no DIBP employment verification to be performed.

Just as the case is with DIBP, is it applicable to the assessing bodies too? I mean if one doesn't intend to claim points from experience, would VETASSES for instance bother with employment verification? My spouse has 5.5years of experience but 5years out of it isn't at the required skill level. So we are wondering if we should chill till she's one year (VETASSES Requirement) in the position that is at the required skill level or we could just round it up and submit soon.

@tyosho
Thank God for journey mercy.

It's good to hear such tingling news. I pray the land would yield its numerous blessings for you and your family

@Jukeblam,

You may be right though. Different strokes for different folks...

@trastar,

Apply for 190 with New South Wales , while joining the long queue for 189, rather than spend extra money that VETASSES may waste.

@Segunwamiri,

Is her qualification related to the occupation?

Is the previous experience related to intending occupation?

Congrats @tyosho

May you and your family prosper in the land

@ bellong
Thanks

It's 5 years as a Customer Service Representative at a Telecommunications company and 5 months as a Quality Assurance&Quality control officer with the same while intended occupation to be nominated is Customer Service Manager.

Her qualification is BSc. Sociology

Oh OK. Thanks for this.
Looking through their website now.
What is required? Will there be POF?

She can go ahead and apply. They will only reduce her work experience. Make sure the job descriptions match that of ANZSCO.

Any news for us Mech Engrs awaiting ITA? Last draw or 15 Feb was for 70points folks. Na wa o. Any hope for us at all?

martinoonline:


Hi bro, I applied for visa class 476 since December 31st 2016 and I've not yet got a CO. I'm not really bothered as it's just 2 months since my submission and most of you got yours between 2-3 months. But I'm worried that I may not have uploaded all the necessary documents cos there are some I've seen on the documents list that I do not have, like 'Evidence of health insurance' , 'Evidence of relationship', 'Evidence of spouse/de facto partner', 'Form 80-personal particulars for character assessment', 'Form 956-advice by a migration agent', 'Form 956A-appointment or withdrawal of an authorised recipient'. Please are all these documents necessary? Will my application be delayed for not having and uploading them?

PS: I have been able to upload my UK police certificate, my UK engr certificate, birth certificate, vaccination card, passport, ielts certificate, and I've done medicals as well which has been acknowledged on their portal.
Thanks.

You only need to upload relevant documents and not everything on the list. The docs already uploaded are sufficient. Though it looks like naija PCC is missing.......

Good morning people, I'm so happy to share this.
Vetasses positive assessment just came in this morning for Agricultural consultant. After just 6 weeks, less few days. No employment verification, just an interview call last two weeks ago around 12am.
3 .4 yrs reduced to 2.1 years. I pray PTE cover for the deficit.
Thanks to all regular contributors, Bellong, mamajaz, desgin, bnimz, etc. I pray everybody will March forward this month In Jesus Name.

@Yeeshas, have you considered speaking a little more faster. I ve seen a ot people do it and scored 79+ or 90. It may seem too fast but I ve seen a general consensus about speaking very fast. Maybe you should consider it.

Good morning house.@ Belong and Sujydee, thanks for ur response to my question. I appreciate.

....that feeling you gat when GRANTS are loading for your friends. ozymigrant, permission to pm you?

AFAIK, EA is the only one with this peculiar advantage; every other assessing body requires proof of employment experience for assessment. I think you need that minimum 1 year for VETASSESS

Thanks a lot bro....do I have to upload two police certificates (UK + Naija)?

You may prefer to deal with a human than a coded robot, but in my opinion it is far easier to fool a coded robot than a human being. In my 1st attempt at PTE, I used some strategies to score 78 on Speaking even though I was speaking nonsense some of the time. However I cannot try that with a human being
