Congratulations afolaseg..

What do you mean by physical employment verification? Did they send someone to your company?

Bellong, it was my brother dat called you some months ago about company registration number mistake made by the HR. The Australia immigration came to my place of work and requested for alot of documents which include my file, tax documents, payslips and timebook register. I wasnt around and it was unexpected but my colleagues took pix of their vehicle for me to believe.

The Australia immigration came to my place of work and requested for alot of documents which include my file, tax documents, payslips and timebook register. I wasnt around and it was unexpected but my colleagues took pix of their vehicle for me to believe.

This is really strange though. Australia doesn’t have an embassy in Nigeria you know. And If they do have representatives, they most likely would have informed your company ahead of the visit, and your office in turn tell you. Asking to see your file, payslip, tax etc are really other concerns to me. Just anybody can’t come to an office requesting for such “confidential” information. We know our HR systems in Nigeria. Just curious though.

Thank you, in that case I'll be targeting the Superior level to boost my points and cover for my lack of experience.
The occupation I'll be nominating is "Medical Diagnostic Radiographer" , it is in demand.

Not a good one.

I'm very surprised. In some organisations the HR department is in the HQ. And HR can't just release your file details without your consent and knowledge.

Strange!!!!

One question - Can IED date be extended?

Thank you so much,the link was very helpful, the assessing body requires at least 2 years of clinical practice in the last 5 years to ensure a successful outcome, I guess I have to wait till I have the minimum 2 years experience before I start the process.

While waiting for experience, can I register for the English Language exams to have the requirements on stand by ?

Hi Everyone,

Merry Xmas to you all.

I want to know if Nigerians really get these Skilled migration visas 189,489,190 if they meet up with necessary requirement like successful assessment from assessing bodies,English test and employment because i dont know anyone who has gotten a skilled migration visa.Some people living in Australia already are saying the best way to come to Australia is through student visas and i am wondering why a qualified person will be denied a skilled migration visa after meeting up with the requirements.

Please i need answers from those who know pretty much about this.

afolaseg:

so I guess when they checked the company reg. on CAC's site they didn't see it and so decided to do a thorough check.
right?

There are so many people that have gotten it, if you check this same page well, someone just gave a testimony of him getting it.

In addition to that I am suspecting the company does not have a presence online, so it is not easy to verify and he is probably claiming like 10 or 15 points from work experience.

I also think they don't joke with 189, 190 or 489 won't likely take that long.

Congrats brother, may God bless your endeavors in the land in Jesus name, amen.

Go to any inland revenue in your state, talk to the staff, they will calculate what you owe. You can pay and then get the certificate. Do not patronise the touts there!
