I am about submitting my documents to VETASSESS. Also will VETASSES accept transcript from WES?
Do you advise i should go ahead.
I will waiting patiently for the response

I got a refusal today with the following comment:

'I acknowledge that the applicant has family ties to their home country and place some weight
on that in favour of the applicant. However, I have concerns that these ties may not be a
strong enough incentive for the applicant to depart Australia upon completion of their studies.
I give more weight to consideration of the applicant’s potential economic circumstances
in their home country compared to Australia and the value of the course to the applicant’s
future.
While I accept that obtaining qualifications from an Australian educational institution may
positively influence employment and remuneration prospects in an applicant’s home country,
I am not satisfied that the applicant demonstrated how they would achieve this against the
background of prevailing economic circumstances in their home country. The applicant
implied a career pathway intention in their home country and how this would be an incentive
for them to return, but did not provide any convincing evidence to support this. I have
considered the applicant’s likely earning capacity in Australia and in their home country.
Based on the information before me, I am not satisfied the financial incentives to return home
outweigh the financial incentives to remain in Australia. I therefore place little weight on the
applicant’s implied intention.'

This reason seems vague as it compares Nigeria economic situation with that of Australia on a broader view.
How can i remediate this refusal reason in subsequent application?

I solicit your responses. Thanks

I started this journey in 2020.
