Greetings house.
I have some questions please:

There's a job offer but the pay isn't much - just about 2,400

However, I'm wondering if this will be worth it, considering that the job code falls under Skilled worker (Not health and Social care). so, application cost for a family of 5 is hitting the roof!

My question is:

1. When paying the visa application fee, will you be paying at official exchange rate (e.g pay naira equivalent to embassy's account), or required to buy GBP into your dorm account and pay?
2. For a 3yr option, are you required to pay the healthcare surcharge fee for main applicant and dependents at the point of application?
3. Is the TB test mandatory for children?
4. How soon can the TB test date be obtained and results ready, at this time?

I'm really wondering I can pull this through! the associated costs are too heavy! I envy those in occupations eligible for the health & social care.

Reprinting of plate number from from is just 10k and its not illegal

You call 10k just?
I can't afford such frivolous expenses - not for this corrupt government that hasn't done me any good! My income and the value of my income (relative to the dollar exchange rate) has dropped drastically since this govt came into power. Cash flow na zero, inflation hitting the roof ! I won't do it o!!!!!

Akamu mixed with vegetable oil.

Desperation to make it at all cost, soaring in Nigeria!

aieromon:
Yes. The law states that faded plates should be replaced.

Whoever is responsible for printing these plates is doing a very poor job. These plates start fading into the second year of use.

That job na scam! Extremely shoddy painting. It's totally unacceptable. We are talking of another 25k here for buying a pig in a poke! Then after 2 years again, you pay another 25k!!!!!

Same here bro! Mine is 8yrs and barely visible even at arm's length.

I've considered repainting it myself ( shouldn't cost me more than 2k), I only worry if it won't fade off yet again after two or three visits to the car wash!

BTW, what Law are you talking about? the one that decides what costmetic changes you make on your car? abi the one that gave you fading number plates? I would even sue them for selling a fading number plate to me! It wasn't in their terms of sale that I signed when buying it! There should have been a caveat.

4.5 wetin?

NHQGUY:
You can't get same score in 189 and 491.

189 is a direct skill visa from the government of Australia and is extremely competitive.

Focus on 190 and 491 visa subclass, both are states/regional Australia nominations.

For 190, you get an additional 5 points to whatever your score is on the 189 visa.

For 491, you get an additional 10points to whatever your score is on the 189 visa.

With a score of 85 on the 189, means you'll be having 90 for 190 and 105 for 491.

Kindly share a breakdown of your profile(age, number of years of experience, ielts score, etc) which you used to calculate the point, let's advice further.

Thanks!

In order of questions: 38, 8+yrs, 8 in all categories, Edu: PhD)

I'm a newbie to this stuff, I've however visited the website and can see that there are classifications, namely:
1. Business Innovation and Investment (188)
2. Skilled Independent visa (189)
3. SKilled Nominated Visa (190)
4. Skilled Regional (489)
5. SKilled Work Regional (491)

I didn't bother checking the first one, because the name suggests it's for investors - the money bags! Further reading on google suggests 189 is extremely competitive and there hasn't been ITAs lately.

Anyway, a cursory look at the scoring criteria suggests my cumulative score for 189/ 489 is 85, and for 491 it's also 85.

Please which one is advisable to go for? and what are my chances? I would be happy to know before I commit scarce means to VETASSESS! I'm very optimistic about skating through VETASSESS.

tunlex01:
1. 12 weeks for normal while 2 weeks for priority processing
2. Vetassess does not require English test. For EOI, either General or Academic is acceptable. (some other bodies may be specific though but with DHA, you can use either)
3. Some states require POF.
COST IMPLICATION (estimate)
Assessment Fee – from A$600 to A$1500 (depends on your assessing body)
Transcript sending cost (depends on your educational institution)
English Test (N75000 – N80,000)
State Nomination Fee (A$300 – A$800)
Medicals – N41,000 and above per person (depends on the family size and the hospital selected)
Biometrics – N8,340 per applicant
Police Certificate – N5,000 to N10,000 per person (depends on your family size - over 16 years)
Visa Application Fee
- Family of 1 – A$4,115 (single applicant)
- Family of 2 – A$6,175 (4,115 +2,060) (primary applicant and spouse)
- Family of 3 – A$7,205 (4,115 + 2,060 + 1,030 (primary applicant, spouse & child)
- Family of 4 – A$8,235 (4,115 + 2,060 + 2,060 (PA, spouse & 2 children)
AUD is around N400-N410 as at today

Very succinct and comprehensive!

Thanks so much for this break-down.

It, however, gives me the impression that this alternative appears more expensive than the EE route!

Please pardon my ignorance, I have a few questions:

1. VETASSESS is about $880 now, how long does it take to get the result or outcome?
2. What IELTS category is required? General or Academic? is there any preference
3. I understand that this immigration pathway does not require POF, what is the budget for this mission for a family of 5 (i.e application fees and flight etc..just a conservative estimate)

Why are you so stupid ? Asin you don't believe Someone could be this good in drawing ? Iffa show you mind ehn, you'll never underestimate talent + hardwork.

Don't you know if Messi gets to see this now, if he eventually invites her, she'll probably draw another one in his presence for him to see, like kind of confirmation unless she has a video of when she started drawing this particular one from scratch, na people like you dey believe charm or juju dey attached to something you think is extraordinary

Woe betide your generation!
You are stupid for throwing insults first! That's my opinion and it's non of your business! There's no discrepancy in self-opinion! Why bandy caustic comments? It shows how crude, crass, and retardded you are! Don't ever in your miserable existence quote me again on this forum since it's obvious you lack decorum!

Na lie!
It's a computer print out!

OP,
300k cash

someone pls help o!
I'm stuck at facial verification on the Binance app. Am I supposed to click on anything once my face is centered? I've clicked everywhere, even on the screen. Nothing is coming up! it's just there showing image and no where to click.

Cuteimma1:
Investing on luno is limited to few popular token. But if you wanna explore, get your binance verified via the app (very easy) or go to kucoin gateio

Thanks. I've just signed up for kucoin after downloading it on playstore. I'm surprised it's not asking me to upload selfie or any Government issued ID for verification. Am I getting something wrong here ?

On a lighter note, how easy is it to sell these cryptocurrencies and get one's money credited to the platform. I would like to do rollover of funds as often as I can with the proceeds/little revenue generated from sales

Lucremoy:
Just use
Binance bro

the Binance verification process was giving me stress.
Luno on the other hand, approved quickly and I already did a little deposit on my wallet there in Luno. I'm a newbie to this stuff. Do I withdraw and pull out of Luno now?

Please is Luno a good platform for these crypto investments?

This is how they lure and rope unsuspecting youths to long-term jail sentences! Imagine asking someone else to receive the proceeds of a fraudulent transaction, and then send them part of the proceeds. In other words, they (the real criminals) are hiding behind the curtains while fronting another person as a criminal! When the lids are blown, the real criminals will vanish into thin air leaving whosoever falls for this cheap crime to face the brunt!

Yahoo boyz wan use another person bank account details to swindle their client. When the police force and EFCC swings into action, investigation will start from the account holder's information.

Una do well o!

Where are the Nairaland moderators when you need them most?

This OP is such a jealous soul!

Solution: find yourself a gf too and be happy!

800k

This siofra no be Betta person!

1. Maturity & Responsibility
2. Harsh realities of the Nigerian economy ( most bars and clubs now experience sales shortages and low patronage, as people have less money to throw around socialising)
3. Time: no more free time to lavish on frivolities as you have to spend more time online to earn some money). Your friends are equally investing their time to earn income!
4. Stupid covid

Christian07:
Hmmm you must be a pastor I want to attend ur church this coming Sunday

Is that your tithe and offering? If yes, I hereby confirm that I'm a Pastor. Please let's see in Church bro! You're blessed!

Lightorder:
I am so so blessed here oooo. Thank God ooo. Before my wife thinks of it, she would already know that no single fellow in her large prominent family would throw their weight behind her on that. I am very close to them. She is so so close to my family that before we have any issues, my family have already supported her and be ever ready to blame me. We respect your ourselves resolve our matters ourselves

You are truly blessed to have that woman sir! She's indeed a wise woman by ensuring that she endeared herself to your family. Mine is the exact opposite. Too many quarrels by my oversabi wife! I've also vowed that since she won't apply wisdom, I won't make it any easy for her! She is good at packing her luggage at the slightest provocation!

AGurlnoname:
Sick mentality. Likewise, God created everything before he created man. That's why women will always have guys mumu button "you don't have a mind of your own", why Adam never stopped himself from taken the fruit from Eve?

Another lunatic on the loose! Your reasoning and writing are completely disjointed very meaningless gibberish! Go back and read what I wrote again - that's if you have any comprehension skills !

Again, it's "taking" and not "taken"! olodo!

Na only wahala this gender sabi!

AGurlnoname:
Lol... Is it only men that have problems here? Everytime my wife this, my girlfriend that, my sister that. Oga you're a lazy man for you to come online to say such things about your wife. Go and hustle more and stop complaining about your poor wife.

Na them be this!

OP, your own small na. It's the same thing everywhere. The issue of packing their miserable luggages out of their matrimonial homes to their mother's house is a very common behaviour with over 90% of them. The funny thing is that, their parents whom they run to, are NOT wealthy, perhaps just a little comfortable at most. It beats me that the parents rather than admonishing the run-away brides to go back to their matrimonial homes, reconcile with their husbands, and be patient for things to turn around for the better, would rather take sides with them very swiftly and would sometimes even call the husband on phone, not to meditate but to add salt to injury! I think all women are just wired that way. Does it beat your imagination that even God created them last! He made sure everything was in the garden, else they would complain and run away from the garden to Lucifer! Even with everything in the garden, the woman still yielded to the serpent. Na so them be o!
