Thanks for the response. I actually have 7 years working experience as a Civil Engineer. I just wanted to be sure if it won't be regrettable to go ahead with the standard CDR and not the relevant skilled work experience.

Alphadoor:


you cannot get the whole list for free!
It is a paid subscription service which allow users to view and search but not download or archive, it is available at internationaleducation dot gov dot au

if you can share the school name you want to know its tier, I can check for you foc

simia:
Covenant University, I think its tier 2 but I won't mind confirming.

For those not sure of where to write their PTE.
I wrote yesterday at bellaz. Mehn! Not sure if there can be any better centre here in nigeria.
We were even called in one by one after every 30mins so that the last person would have been tru with the speaking part. So there was no noise at all as only one person was talking at same time.

I give it to bellaz

@Omoefe1994,

This is a tough call because it is filled with many uncertainties. When is the invitation expiring?

bellong:


Assess your work experience alongside. There have been cases CO requested applicant to go back and assess their work experience. Don't put yourself in such situation.

Omoefe1994:
Thank you very much Oga Bellong for your prompt response.

The ITA is valid till 3 December 2018.

My husband does not mind get this and still putting in for 189 further down the line.

He just wants something concrete especially in this era of so much uncertainity.

Just that it means paying twice which he is open to but I just wanted to run it by other well informed members of this house.

If your wish to claim skilled employment points and have the relevant supporting docs (reference letter, payslips, bank statement, tax certificate, pension statement) to assess the whole 7 years, please carry on with both CDR and skilled employment assessment, this will enable you claim 10points now or 15pts after 8 years if your full 7 years are assessed positively.

The norm where in people save some bucks by not assessing employment with EA and leaving it to the VISA officer seems to be outdated, as we have CO's asking visa applicants to go assess the employment with the assessing authority first. Better to be on the safe side to avoid avoidable CO contacts

bellong:




You have two options;

1. Submit application for this one now and if everything comes through for 189, submit application for it later.

2. Or Wait till December 1 if by then you will have the points needed for 189. If not, then submit the application by December 1, 2018.

I believe nobody can make this decision for you. Since your husband is willing to pay twice, I think he should go ahead. He does not have competent or superior English score yet and you are not sure when he will have it. If you both are confident that by November, you will get all the points required, you can go with option 2. If not, option 1 will be preferred option.

Why?

Omoefe1994:
Hello House,

Thanks to everyone commenting and sharing their knowledge here.

A bit of good news!!

We got ITA this morning for 489 from South Australia for Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) for my husband.

We have been on this journey for a while but met with a bit of disappointment last year when he did not pass one of the 4 modules in the AIMS professional exams in the September 2017 diet which will have enabled us to apply for 189 as Medical Laboratory Scientist (MLS).

We decided to try various state nominations for MLT and we were so fortunate to apply for SA nomination on 5th July just as they opened their nomination for the new financial year. Coincidentally, the opportunity closed a few days later and its now currently available only if you meet the high points criteria. Almost 3 months later, this morning we got the ITA mail.

However my husband has just recently written the September 2018 of the AIMS exams again and we are hopeful for a positive result sometime in November so we can explore 189 though his current score is 60 so he may need to either rewrite English or get his additional years of experience assessed by AIMS or I can get my skills assessed by CPA to give him additional points since I have IELTS result already.

But my husband wants to go ahead and apply for this SA 489 since that is what is certain now but I'm just seeking for opinions here on if we should hold on and not accept this SA 489 yet since its a provisional visa.

Please I will like some advice from our seniors here.

I understand Oga Bellong lives in SA as well so I would appreciate if you could add your opinion as well as to whether if this SA 489 is a good option to accept.

Thank you very much.

Please help me understand.

Does it mean that as an Engineer, you can either go through Engineers Australia or through VETASSES for skill assessment?

Then you proceed to apply for state nomination?

I wish to apply for subclass 190.
Is this the correct sequence pls.

Also, please is there any general website to apply for SkillSelect or one has to go one by one through the state websites to apply?

Thanks bro.

I should possess 8 years in few months time. However, I can only get tax certificate for 3 years and pension statement for 3 years too out of the whole of 7 years for now. I shouldn't have any issue with others; ref letter, payslips, bank statement. Should I still go ahead with the 3 years tax cert and 3 years pension statement for relevant skilled employment assessment. I hope I would not be requested to compulsorily provide for the remaining 4 or 5 years?

Did u work in the same organisation for the whole 7 years. If yes, Early and recent payslip and bank statement can corroborate whatever reasons you have for not being able to get other years for tax and pension. But if it's different organisations at different times, then u would need tax cerficate for each employment period in the different work places.
