Thanks and once more congratulations. I sent you email through your nairaland account. pls can you kindly reply

Misoke:

Thanks everyone!
@WAPU:Was informed by my HR...

pls did they call or paid a visit?

Bellacious:

For the tax return, you need to submit evidence of tax payment. If you have not been paying tax,now is the time to go and pay and you have to pay for 3yrs i.e. 2015-2017, after payment, you will be given a tax clearance certificate which you will send to CO. Bear in mind that the amount to pay will be determined by your gross earning per month. Just be careful so as not to complicate things for yourself. Best of luck.

Thanks for your response,i think i can provide other documents i noticed the C.O is not specifically asking for tax returns they said I should provide more evidence of my employment and they added *evidence**may include but not limited to
Contract
Payslip
Tax returns
Group certificate
Superannuation*

PLS I NEED SERIOUS HELP. I GOT A RESPONSE FROM C.O REQUESTING FOR MORE EVIDENCE OF EMPLOYMENT. I HAD SUBMITTED PAYSLIPS AND BANK STATEMENTS . NOW THE C.O SUGGESTED TAX RETURNS AND CONTRACT. PLS I DONT KNOW ANYTHNG ABOUT HOW TO GET THE TAX RETURNS. IF ANYONE HAS SCALE THROUGH THIS HURDLE PLS COME TO MY AID.

My advisory service response

1. Bachelor of Science in Estate Management from the Nnamdi Azikiwe Univerversity, Awka, Nigeria (5 years)

Using the published guidelines that we refer to for assessing Nigerian qualifications against the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), it is likely that the above qualification would be assessed at AQF Bachelor degree level. An AQF bachelor degree meets the educational level required for all occupations currently assessed by VETASSESS for Skills Assessment purposes.

Area of Study:

Estate Management

It is likely that the above qualification would be assessed positively against the occupation of Valuer.

Conclusion:

Based on the evidence provided, it appears likely you would be assessed positively against the occupation of Valuer (ANZSCO 224512). This opinion is due primarily to the underpinning qualification and the following task performance during employment with Bleep, however, it is also dependent upon the requirement that the majority of the employment is focussed on tasks that are highly relevant to the nominated occupation for at least 20 hours per week and not focussed on less relevant tasks such as on the marketing and auction of land (as described as task 11 on the statement of service out of 12 tasks) which would not be assessed as relevant to the nominated occupation.

Not Tested:

The above advice is provided for pre-assessment purposes only and is based on summary information provided by the applicant. The information submitted has not yet been tested or subjected to any external research processes and/ or integrity checking. Therefore, the views expressed via our Advisory Service do not guarantee a positive skills assessment outcome.

Opinion Only:

Please note that the above is an opinion only and that applicants are entitled to apply for an assessment against any occupation currently assessed under our authority if they feel they are able to provide sufficient evidence that would likely support a positive assessment outcome against current occupation requirements.

YOUR MAKING PROGRESS MY BROTHER....JUST THAT YOU HAVE REFUSED TO RESPOND TO MY PM .....i studied estate management too

Esty4eva:
Greatest IKENGA! I graduated 2006

Esty4eva:

GREATEST IKENGRESS....dont give up.....am an IKENGA too. wch department and when did u graduate.... can u send me a PM. am assessing with Vetasses too.

bellong:


Every adult attached to the application must have a functional English. To proof her functional English, she can either write English test or get a letter from her university that she was taught in English.

PLS WHAT IF UR WIFE IS NOT A GRADUATE.......WHAT PROOF OF FUNCTIONAL ENGLISH IS REQUIRED

chidike:
Hi guys!

I've applied and paid for vetassess advisory, 18 working days to go. Though I'm still interested in knowing if the advisory service will reduce the time I'll have to wait when I apply for the assessment.

Helo CHIDIKE.how u doing...we are in d same profession...and am about sending mine to vetasses too. can we pls talk in private....thanks.

bellong:
You will begin to ask yourself, what do I do after knowing how the points are calculated. The first step is to know whether your skill/occupation is among the skills/occupation required or needed for migration. There are two (2) types of list which I will explain below.

1. Skilled Occupation List (SOL)... Find the link below

https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Work/Skills-assessment-and-assessing-authorities/skilled-occupations-lists/SOL

2. Consolidated Sponsored Occupation List (CSOL).... Find the link below.

https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Work/Skills-assessment-and-assessing-authorities/skilled-occupations-lists/CSOL


Where your occupation is in any of the two lists will determine what subclass you can apply for. If you see your occupation in SOL list, you can apply for subclass 189, if it is on CSOL list, you can apply for either 190 or 489 which are states/regional areas sponsored visa. However, you can find your occupation in both list, it means you can apply for any of the three if you don't meet up to 60 points on your own, you will need either 5 or 10 points from State or Regional area as the case may be.


On the list, in front of each occupation is ANZSCO code and Assessing authority. The code is the occupation code for easy reference and the assessing authority is the body responsible for assessing your claimed skill/occupation and qualification.

Once you find your occupation on any of the list, go to the assessing authority website to know requirements needed for your assessment. Each assessing authority has different requirements, so it is not a one size fits all. All the assessing authority can be reached by clicking them on any of the list (it will direct you to their website).

Some assessing authorities require that you meet a minimum level in English language by writing IELTS/TOEFL/OET/PTE while some do not require English language score. Detailed information can be found on your assessing authority's website.

Because you need points from English language test, there is no rule as which is to do first, either write English or assess our skill. However, for those that their assessing authority requires English language test, you must write one first before submitting application for assessment. If your body doesn't need the test before assessment, you can write later or same time as assessment. Endeavour to score at least a proficient score as outlined above to get minimum of 10 points depending on your circumstances.


Once you get a positive response/assessment from your assessing authority, you are 80% done with the application. Next step is to fill in the Expression of Interest which can be found in the link here https://skillselect.gov.au/SKILLSELECT/ExpressionOfInterest/PreReg/Start

After filling the EOI, wait to be invited, once invited, apply for your visa... do medical test and police report, then wait for your visa approval which unlike before is no longer slow to be approved.


If you are diligent and follow the process through, it should take you maximum of 9 months from scratch to visa approval going by the current trend...

PLS AT WHAT POINT DO ONE PAY FOR THE VISA..AFTER MEDICALS N POLICE REPORT OR BFRE THAT. THANKS.....PLS I NEED CONTACT OF ONE WHO HAS DONE HIS ASSESMENT USING valuer or land economist as nominated occupation. thanks Bellong

chidike:


I studied estate management as well, why not use valuer?

WOW REALLY NICE TO MEET YOU..PLS WOULD NEED TO SPEAK WT U PLS...... tryng to send you private message but not going..how do we exchange contacts pls

bellong:
STOWHY,

Compare the job descriptions of land economist and valuer. I guess you will be better off assessed as a valuer.

Those occupations are not competitive, you shouldn't have any problem as long as you can provide convincing evidence and also relate your experience.

THANKS A LOT BELLONG. YOU HAVE BEEN WONDERFULLY GREAT ON THIS FORUM. if i can get ur email will like to get a suggestion from you.

Goodmorning house. nice job you guys are doing here to assist one another with relevant info. pls i am yet to see comment from people about LAND ECONOMIST. has anyone in the house been assessed using this profession.....i studied Estate Management with over 5 years working experience.... what are my chances and how competitive is it. pls your urgent response will be appreciated as i prepare to assess my qualifications with Vetasses.
