Vincentosa:
Hello @Bellong,
I need some opinions from you and anyone who may have been on this situation before.
I am currently in my 3rd semester for my master degree program here in NSW, I have a family of 3 back in Naija. I haven't been able to apply for subsequent entrant visa for them because of pof.
However, in Feb this year I got nominated for 491 and have since submitted the visa including my family (wife and 2children). But you know how they treat 491 visa application especially if they are not medical occupation. It can take forever with them. Terrible bad to know that they accepted huge visa fees but will never attend to your visa application.
Now, I have secured the funds to commence the subsequent entrant visa for my family. I have started it already but I have some fears regarding how to explain the aspect of our 491 visa application in her GTE statement considering the fact that this subsequent entrant visa subclass 500 is a temporary visa. Now we have indicated that we want to migrate to Australia since we have earlier submitted 491.

What do I do from here please? Anyone have been in this situation before? Please help.

It's a dicey one because the GTE for 500 SE visa will negative the 491 application. You should have applied for the subsequent entrant before 491. Two options: first is apply for the SE visa (there is a 50 % chance you might get it). Indicate you have missed them and you would like them to join.
2nd option: wait till it's granted. Follow up with calls. If you can contact your MP or Senator, visit them or email them to explain your situation.

Unfortunately, I am unable to share timelnes as I don forget.

Honestly, this thread kept me going!!

189 just like that for my whole family, I am still in cloud 9.

Tunlex01 & Bellong, you guys may not remember all my questions you did answer , I am most appreciative.

Congratulations

Oga Tunlex01, thanks for all you life changing contributions here.

Please can some one pay for my Engineers assessment from Australia while I credit his Naira account here.

Does it have any effect of the name paying for the assessment is different from the assessed candidate?


The total payment for EA is $1848

I have sent you a message, there is someone in Australia that helps with payments like this.

bummy4real:
Can I enter your dm, I m on the move to asses mine with them, can I do it with my ACCA or ICAN, despite I have not been paying anual dues .

sure you can reach out to me. I dont know about annual dues. As long as you can provide your official transcript from any of these bodies with your Accounting degree.

Hello @tunlex01 and Bellong
I have submitted my Application for Assessment with TRA - MSA
It's been almost 2 months now and its keeps showing this.
Your application has been submitted

No additional evidence is needed at this time.
Advise if all is in order.

TRA is 5 months processing time.

Some good news
We got a positive assessment from CAANZ today for one of us.
Occupation: Accountant
Degree: Bachelors AQF (4 year course from a tier 2 university)
Note: we assume it was considered equivalent to Bachelor's degree due to the added ICAN certificate+transcript.

So for accountants out there with ICAN or ACCA, assess with CAANZ

OgogoroDegree:
Goodmorning,

Please house.
Those who got positive assessment, did you receive any phone calls?

Thank you

tunlex01

sometimes, they do. Why?

aodis:
Biko , i just wan start , i need Agent oh pls who can recommend me for an agent.

I sent you an email.

Chomyg:
Good morning my people, please which type of IELT is required for skilled visa?
Can PTE academics be written in Abuja because I didn’t see any Abuja test center on their website?
Is PTE Academics accepted for both Study and PR ?

I think the center (TATEC PTE Pearson Center) is no longer testing in Abuja. Perhaps give them a call.
Kaduna is the closest.
You need to check your occupation and the assessing body requirement to be sure if you need to write a specific English test.

Giov:
Hello House. Is there anyone here who is intending or has applied for a teaching Job in Aussie please get in signify. I have just few questions to ask. You can also reach me on giov826@gmail.com. I will be glad.

People don't get teaching jobs in Australia from offshore because there is a code of conduct for teachers and other trainings you need to do before you can teach in Australia similar to doctors, nurses etc which you will need to be in Australia to do them.
You need to assess your qualification and employment with AITSL if eligible.

Xelene:
Hello house.. Big thanks to everyone contributing to make this easy and accessible to us newcomers.
My name is Elle and I’m looking to travel to Australia through the skilled migration route.
I studied history in university but my passion and experience is solely fashion designing. I am hoping to begin prepping for the PTE exams soon as possible.
I am a fashion designer and have up to 5years of experience.
So far, I’ve been able to find fashion design on the occupation list and read about it. But it’s still a bit confusing on what necessary steps to take and the assessment process too.
Please any advice and help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you 🙏🏼

Hello, please check Vetassess definition of a fashion designer and be sure you are not miscontruing it for a Dressmaker/Tailor occupation.
For Vetassess, you need to have a Bachelors from a tier 1 university or a 5 year course to from a tier 2 university. So before you write PTE, check that you meet the eligibility based on qualification.
Also, I hope you have all the employment documents to back up the 5 years including tax statement and/or pension.

manbo09:
Early Childhood Education is faster in terms of getting Grant while University Lecturer is easier in terms of getting an assessment outcome

True but this person does not have experience as an Early Childhood teacher. Only experienced as a lecturer.
Qualification assessment may not even pass with AITSL if the initial degree is not from a tier 1 university or a 5 year education course.

spongeisback:
Hello Tunlex please can I DM you? I have checked my occupation and it’s on the ANZSCO website. Thanks.

sure

Christafarian:
Good morning, House. I appreciate the contributors to this forum who have been answering the various questions.
I reside in Nigeria. I am in my late thirties. My wife & I have decided to get a PR for Australia. She is a lecturer in one of the state's Uni & has a Ph.D in Early Childhood Education.
(1) Which among the options is the best (i.e easier, faster) option or us;
(2) How much will it cost?
I'll appreciate your answers please.

Assess as a University leccturer. It's the easier option. The cost for full skills assessment is on Vetassess fees page.

@ Tunlex01

Please I'm having challenge with obtaining reference letter from my place of work, what alternative document can I use for that?

Also, COREN recently got admitted as provisional signatory into Washington Accord. Can COREN registered members now skip assessment from EA?

You can get it from your supervisor. if not, create one with all the required information and take it to court for notarisation. They will create a cover letter in addition to the reference letter you have prepared.

The information was confirmed to be false.

will007:
Hello Tunlex01

I’m new here and even though this thread is filled with a boatload of information, I don’t know where to start. So I was hoping you can narrow it down for me and I will run from there. Here are my details -

Occupation - Accountant(writing exams to be chartered)

Degree - Bsc Banking & Finance; Ond Banking & Finance

Working experience - 3 years as an accountant/Finance Manager.

Status - Single

Looking to pursue the PR route. Please let me know what my chances are and if you need more information.

Many thanks for your response.

With any of the 3 accounting bodies, there is hardly a chance if you dont have a degree in Accounting.
Try student visa application for masters.

AUSTRLIAN DREAM OR NIGHTMARE?
What is happening in Australia?
The price for Rents is Sucidial? How do people manage to pay such outrageous rents?
The house no even dey to rent also. 20 people go dey fight to rent 1 room.
Obodo Oyibo...Na sooooooo!!!!!
The houses are not even new, houses from the 70s with little or no maintenance or renovation works.
How and Why should people buy houses from 600,000 - 1 million AUD? House oooooo!!!!!
Where is the job in Australia that pays this much?

are these rhetorics?
People pay the rent and buy those houses cos they make the money!
it's expensive but people are still buying and renting which is not exclusive to Australia. it's the same in other countries.

Joshvent:
Greetings great family.

My school sent my award certificate and transcript 2 months before l submitted my Vetassess application. Now Vetassess said they've not received. What do l do?

Remember it was sent with the 6-digit reference generated from my application, which changed slightly after submitting the application and making payment. I have told Vetassess that it was sent on 19 May, and that they should search for it using the 6-digit reference as opposed to the slightly changed reference l got after l made payment. Please help!!!

@ Tunlex01, Bellong, NB1912, Bligs and other great minds here...

Did you confirm when it got to them in May?
Just send them the evidence your courier company sent to you and advise them of the person who received it in their office.

Chomyg:
Hello house,
Please I have some questions, I am a civil engineer with over 5 yrs experience in the construction industry.
I am interested in doing my masters on Construction project management, please I need guidance on schools to apply to and that are cheap.
Secondly is it advisable going for the skilled visa rather than the masters? My challenge is if the 8 bands scores on IELT is easily obtainable?

Just go for skill assessment as a Civil Engineer or Civil Engineering draftsperson.
Student visa should be your last resort if you have experience and qualifications that align.

aodis:
Good day house, i only needed an opinion biko. Can my cousin upload his uk visa he just got on thusday to his already uploaded application.

Sure it can be uploaded if your cousin is traveling to the UK before the start their studies in Australia.

chommi:
hello ,

I am having a bit of dilemma on the occupation to choose on the occupations's list.

I have a BSC in Economics from the University of Nigeria.
I worked as a Sales Executive for 6 months
Switched to one of the Discos and worked as a Sales representative for 3 yrs
got promoted to a Sales supervisor and worked for 3yrs
Now I am currently a Data/Business Analyst. I have been on this role for 1 yr and 7 months.

I am yet to see any occupation that closely decscribes what i have done.

Also i noticed that VETASSESS have not updated a role for Data/ business analyst.

So i am stuck between 225499 Technical Sales Representatives nec and 611312 Sales Representative (Business Services)

Pls can anyone give their suggestions on the way forward.

Thanks in advance

Also, pls if there is any telegram group or whatsapp group, pls i would like to join

Technical sales rep is a level 1 occupation and your degree does not qualify.
611312 is not being nominated for any visa.
your other option is to explore student visa.

Hello everyone

For someone that has more than 5 years experience in telecommunications. What are the chances of getting an ITA with 65 points for subclass 190 and 70 points for subclass 491

nothing is impossible. Lodge your EOI, monitor the states websites and wait for miracles

Chomyg:
Good afternoon all. I am new here, I am a female civil engineer with over 7 years experience in the construction industry.I graduated from a state university. Please what is the best way to migrate to Australia with my partner? Thank you all.

Read some few pages and provide your details. Also check the occupation you can nominate.

Chinzzyy2:
Hello house, I know alot of people have their opinions about this particular path but is there anyone on this forum that knows someone who finished from a tier 2 Nigerian university with a b.ed and the person also did a pgde in Nigeria. Then got a positive assessment from aitsl? Pls if you know someone that did this or you did it yourself,please indicate. You will be helping a lot of people.

I dont know any because people with B.Ed don't usually go for Pgde but if I see, I will let you know.

Frezhkid10:
Good evening all..
I recently heard my folks talking about this point based Australia PR..though it was a side talk and I couldn’t get more information from them..before stumbling on this trend..
I have HND in mechanical engineering and City and guilds up to level 5 in mechanical engineering..and just recently I checked the website and I scored 70 clicking 189 and 75 clicking 190..
Currently I work as a plant control room operator in one of the leading FMCG’s in Nigeria and would like to know my chances of getting to Australia..I have been working for almost 3yrs now
2. Would the PR require me to look for an Australian Job here in Nigeria before my application is granted??

Hilderbrand:
Hello Tunlex01,
Just a question. If you are residing in Aussie currently, is it good to lodge an EOI using "Australia" as usual place of residence? Or can one still use Nigeria? Let me know what you think because I have racked up to 80 points for 189 and 85 for 190 but i am yet to hear from them regarding 189 or 190 visa.

Thanks.

you cannot state you are offshore if you are onshore. That's misrepresentation and could lead to nomination or visa refusal.
What is your occupation and which state?
