The wait from VETASSESS is finally over. Got a positive assessment for my occupation this morning.

Pls Gurus in the house, what are the documents needed to apply for Victoria nomination (as a Geologist want to apply for subclass 190 visa )

bellong:
Greaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!!!

No Olorunniwo didn't teach me. He came when I left. So he is now a Professor? Good to hear.

At the risk of derailing the thread, Olorunniwo M. (Geophysics) taught in his dept aince inception. That's more than 30 years ago. (except you are 50+ )
Probably u were referring to the period he was away on extended leave. He's my grand uncle by the way (if there's any such thing). All the best bro.

bellong:
He can get a positive assessment depending on where he studied his geology. OAU is a four year geology degree and I got a positive assessment.

I think they have some selected universities that they treat their four year degree to be equivalent to an Australian bachelor degree.

Check the stationary shops around Ikeja. Moreover I have comprehensive IELTS soft copies for sale.

johnsontade:
I think i should be able to get my employment letter reading the start of my NYSC. I have not had any former applications to Australia and won't categorically state any period as Nysc as i've been a full staff even as at then...only that i wasn't getting paid too well and also without tax and pension. I personally would prefer not to claim work experience points to avoid extra hassles if i can get up to 60 points without it as i've read on forums that processing are always faster when your CO isn't bothered about allocating work experience points as the applicants won't be required to submit additional document for proof.

I wish I could simply download all pages on this thread as pdf and read when I am idle.

Hi, please anyone that did their assessment with engineers australia, how did you go about sending your IELTS to them?

izykvision0:
So delighted to tell and encourage u guys. Finally got my dream job here in Melbourne with an awesome package as well. Its been almost 3 months since my arrival, and I've been lucky to have been attending interviews on a weekly basis. I grew stronger after each interview, as I used the weakness as a strength in d next one - thanks to d feedback culture here. No dulling na immediate resumption.

doomel:
Thanks alot. Please do you have a link to the ABZSCO duties? Cant seem to find it.

doomel:
Please I studied mechanical engineering in school and have worked as a field engineer in oil and gas company for 5 years. what do I apply to be assessed as? professional engineer in mechanical engineering or is there an option for oil and gas?

FutureDon:
Hehehe, go through my previous posts from way back and give yourself a big knock sir.

Ifexsco:
Oga, how yonder? Have submitted all the required docs, my CO has requested to correct my inadvertent error(that is correct my score from 65 to 60). So am awaiting my good news! . What do you think of Perth....for a Pet. Engineer without industry exp?

Hi Ifexsco, i heartily look forward to hearing your good news. Your grant is 90% loading. I'm pleasantly suprised that your CO is reasonable and cooperative. I know of a guy on another forum whose PR application / invitation was cancelled cos the CO said he over claimed points for experience, 65 instead of 60 overall points. Though it was an error, he wasn't given the chance to respond or correct it. Thank God for you bro!

BTW, @Futuredon, it seems you also like my signature brown font colour

Thanks a bunch and Amen to the prayer
Yes It was SVP
Subclass 573
There was no Phone Interview
I actually submitted to Teleperformance on the 13th of August and sent a mail to them on the 27th of August for at least an acknowledgement mail to which they responded the following day. After waiting for another week of silence from them, I called Pretoria on the 3rd of Sept and I was told to exercise patience for anoda week.
I did not frontload Medicals because I could get an HAP ID before applying, so I was sent a mail last week Tuesday for my medicals, did my medicals on Wednesday with serious following up with the Hospital, got an acknowledgement from Dr. Fatayi on Thursday that my medical reports has been sent then the good news today.

Hi All,

Tony Abbots Leadership was Challenged and was Voted out today as the PM of Australia. Marculn Turnbull is the New Australian PM.

This guy is against Immigration and in support of Gay Marriage, the guy also suggested that Australia PR should be sold for about AuS50,000 which will generate billions for the Government while help get people to work in the Country at the same time. Then Tony Abbot insisted that Australian Citizenship is "not for sale".

alaoeri:
Don't know how to go abt pm, if there is any other means.

@scrollmeout, guys here are really wonderful, Google doesn't even come close. I hope to be able to contribute to the brain pool one day.
Frim the experiences if close friends, new passport = new passport no, but as long as you notify the relevant embassies then it is no big deal.

What I have is birth certificate, from the info I gathered, people born after 1992 can't get the NPC birth certificate but only an attestation so I intend going to the NPC for the Attestation.

How was your experience at the NPC in PH?
Did you get a birth certificate or attestation?
Where is the place in PH?
What are the requirements? I was told I'd need an affidavit or so
Cost?
Do u hv any contact there that can help in expediting things

thanks

alaoeri:
Is your course related to the one you applied for?
Try regional sch or take a shot at advanced diploma.

chetaRay:

Pinkygrace:
@no1. New passport don't carry same passport numbers. And you can have visa on and old expired passport and have a new passport . NIS stamp cancell without prejudice on the old one. And the visa will still be valid

Good evening: Justwise, Kunlay11, Bosslady, Bellong, Manweysabi, NNBB2012, alaoeri, lawland, scrollmeout, other gurus in the house
I just searched for this thread because my wife and I are considering Australia PR as an alternative to the Canadian Express Entry. Thanks for your selfless services.
I would be glad to get your suggestions on the best route to take on our proposed application considering the information below:
I am 36 years old while my spouse is 32. We both have 8 and 6 years of experience in the financial services sector respectively. She is a Chartered Accountant; it would appear that the skilled occupation relevant to her is Accountant (General): 221111.
I have had a few years of experience as a Branch Manager in the banking industry. Though my role has been changed to a "Relationship Manager", I also figured that the most related skilled occupation class (CSOL) is Financial Institution Branch Manager: 149914
My overall IELTS score was 7.5 while that of my wife was 7. My qualifications include BSc, MBA while my wife has BSc and ACA. Our academic qualifications had earlier been assessed by ICAS to be equivalent to the Canadian 4 year Bachelor's degree program.
My wife was the principal applicant when we applied for the Canadian Express Entry because of some perceived advantages (age, occupation). We are a family of 4.
My questions are: 1. With the information that I supplied above, what are our chances under the Australian Migration programme?
2. Who has better chances of securing Australian PR so that he/she can apply on behalf of the family?
3. How much are we supposed to have as a "proof of fund"? Thank you.

If you intend to obtain the 189 or 190 visa, proof of funds are not required. For the 489, certain states recommend yiu have a certain amount but it is not a requirement for a visa. I'd recommend either 189 or 190 though.

My overall take - I strongly recommend you can get additional 5 points - partner points. You do this by both being accessed but both of your ANZSCO codes have to be on the same list (SOL or CSOL). You will need it cos accountants are being issued invitations on pro rata basis now owing to the high numbers of EOIs. You stand a better chance if you have 70 points, at least 65.

As per PTE, you are already talking to the right person @mrs dee . I used the links she provided to prepare for the exam.

ewagbamio:
Hi bellong and erictak2003,
thanks so much for ur answers, the whole passport and payment option thingy was looking so tangled but you guys cleaned it up with just a few posts!

@bellong, UQ is more than willing to accept card payments, they even said they will divide the transactions into smaller units should my card's daily limit be exceeded.

It was all a good problem in the end cos during the past few days I went over all my docs again and after carefully comparing it with what was on the border.gov.au website, I realised my birth certificate might not meet their standard-- its not Full/unabridged. I'll be visiting the ppl at the NPC office in PH to see how quickly I can get the right paper.

the only way I can repay the good ppl of this forum is to do a concise stepwise write up of my experience after everything so others can pick a thing or two

happy sunday

mclarry:
Hi all. What is the unique test result reference number for PTE, is it the test taker ID or the registration ID?

Thanks for your earliest response.

erictack203:
My fellow brothers and sisters in the house, pretoria was happy to reject me Visa today. Reason was that Employer was not verified and that no Letter of Future Employment, subclass-573,(SVP) paid AuS13,700 and has saved about AuS7,450 for complete 1yrs fees. Total: AuS21,000. I added my landed property docs, marriage certificates, house plan, children birth certs, employment histories, first aid certificates, IELTS and PTE blast them over.

So guys tell me, what else does pretoria needs? My MD of my Company was mad at this, they didn't call any1 or even me, he even wanted to use his lawyers to write them, I told him not to bother, every1 must not travel, some are meant to help others to succeed here and do stuffs. Australia should understand that we are not Hungry in Nigeria. I will keep up with my business and clap for people who gets their grants. Happy New Month.

bukenken:
