Vincentosa: Hello guys, I recently received invitation for 491 visa from NSW (onshore). However, I also lodged eoi for 190 just few days ago as I complete compulsory 6months stay and continues stay in nsw. Now I want to know if it matters to use the same email address I used in the eoi for 491. I really want 190 due to family size. If I were single or we don't have kids yet I would probably just take the 491. But I only accepted it and just waiting the next 60days to see when my 190 invite will drop. I have the faith it will drop. Do I create another eoi with a different email address instead? Or it doesn't matter if I use the same email ID for different EOI account? Pls your advice is needed from anyone who has had similar experience...
You can use same email. If your current visa is not expiring soon, pls ignore the 491 invitation even after 60 days. You have a good chance of getting 190 and it’s not worth paying double fees
holatunjy: Hello, good morning sir / maa. I have been a silent follower, reading and following up on the Japa to Australia topics.
am 32 years i graduated 2016 as an architect from futa, served for a year 2017, since then I have been working as a self employed architect ( I registered my companys name in 2018 and I have been doing designing, construction and consulting ) and also working as a remote architect doing 3d / 2d designer for one of my oga but he didn't offered me employment letter , though I can request for it if needed. I will like to know my chances applying as an architect draftsman or as an architect or landscape architect. the ANZSCO CODE IS 312199... please guys kindly help us with your advice. may Almighty God lands us to where our hearts desires.
my wife is 32years she is a quantity Surveyor with HND holder as at 2018...
You can assess as an architectural Draftsperson as long as you claim that. You cannot claim or have any resemblance of an architect in your profile. Do you have your tax filings from 2018?
Your spouse cannot assess as a Quantity surveyor cos it’s a level 1 and HND cannot assess level 1.
4everEdward: Hello guys please forgive my ignorance, I have an Australian girlfriend that I am dating and she is coming to Nigeria next week please I want to know after getting married in the court, how long or how do I start to go over there with her, because both of us have little knowledge on how it works
Several options: She can file partner visa for you (There is the temporary one then the permanent one) it takes a long time though.
If you have a skill in the occupation list, you can also go through skilled migration and get 189 or 190 faster!
Pls can i file an EOI for Visa 189,190 & 491 at the same time?
I await to read your response. Thanks in anticipation.
Yes but advisable to do EOI 1: 189 EOI 2: 190 and 491 for a state EoI 3 : 190, 491 for another state and continue like that. Only one EoI for 189 please
I am new here & am making enquires on behalf of my Husband Please, what are his chances in this Australia skilled workers.
Hubby is 41yrs of age Graduated from FUTO 2016 Studied Mechanical engineering Has over 15yrs of experience in Mec. Eng. On the skilled list I saw Mechanical engineer ANZSCO code 233512
Wife has a Bsc Marketing With 5yrs experience in Sales & Marketing
Questions? Do you see this flying Sirs? Under Australia qualifying framework, (AQF) what tier is FUTO ranked? Also, can he apply for a level one occupational assessment? Will He get a positive assessment? Also, please what's CDR?
I don't know how to go about the accessment cos I just stumbled on this page & and am still reading and gathering information.
Your advice & response will be highly appreciated. Thanks.
His profile can fry. Does he have pension or tax statement for all those years?
15 years but graduated in 2016? Since he studied a 5 year course, university tier does not apply. That means he can assess for any level Check EA website for what CDR is and what it entails
NHQGUY: It's a lot to type but you can do your independent research. In summary, the case officer will look at the whole years claimed (including that cut off by any assessing body). As long as you are doing the roles described in the occupation list and you have supporting documents, you will be deemed skilled in the eyes of DHA.
I get you but I have my own concerns with this! No one wants to go through that stress of putting the decision for DHA to refuse or grant your visa because one decides to claim extra points.
Until DHA and assessing bodies agree to scrap those deductions directly, I won’t advise anyone to claim points not approved and have high blood pressure on “what if” DHA decides to support my assessing authority decision and refuse my visa. #justmyopinion
SundayphilipNic: Good afternoon Friends. I have study visa for july intake to study master of Engineering Professional, majoring in Technology and Management. Also have been working as a quality Control Welding inspector for 6 years with Certification Cswip 3.1(this is like a license from Training institute in the UK) and i intend to continue with my Profession in Australia during or/and after my Masters program. my question to the gurus in the house is my chances of getting Permanent resident after study. Note: my Bsc is in agricultural and Bioresources Engineering in Nigeria. thank you
Has anyone been assessed for procurement manager. I will like to know how he handled his documentation on organizational chart bearing in mind that the company (or companies) worked for will not sign and stamp it to be used for migration purpose.
I didn’t assess as a procurement manager but I did assess a different occupation. What I did was to send the request via email and my company responded declining my request. I took the email request and designed the organogram using the company chart as at that time. Then visited High court in Lagos to get a statutory declaration for it. I attached my design, stat declaration and email response from my HR to my application and got a positive assessment
hemekhar: Thanks boss, what do you personally recommend?
That's a big question. I have given you the options, you can make your choice. I have seen a one person with the usual one year deduction from Vetassess being approved by DHA. I havent seen a 3 or 4 year deductions before
ugonology: Please am a bit confused with my course application process, I intend to apply for masters in environment and climate emergency, but the only related occupation on the skilled occupation list is environmental manager. Can a masters in environment and climate emergency earn me the title of an environmental manager, so I could easily transition into PR after my studies? The absence of management in my course title is what is getting me worried, please gurus in the house, your input will be greatly appreciated
No, environmental manager is for managers in the environmental space. There are 5 other environmental occupations on the list. You should check the list thoroughly.
Please forgive my ignorance. When an accessing body deducts 4 years from a 7 years experience, does this mean you have to fill 3 years in your skills calculator or the deduction is just for the skills assessment? Make person no make mistake chop ban
yes. You can fill the 7 years but claim points for 3 years and not claim points for the 4 years
There has been a recent update from DHA that if your assessing body reduce your years of experience, then the Visa Case officer can review that and do their own assessment. This means you leave the chance to the CO to either accept the points you claimed or the ones approved by the assessing body. Most people avoid this cos you don't want to get to the stage to have your visa refused. So the choice is yours.
snowburn: Or will a positive outcome be more likely applying to VETASSESS for Social Professionals NEC instead of Public Relations Professional?? --This is due to the qualification being in Political Science??
snowburn: Just piggybacking on this post; Will a Political Science degree from University of Nigeria Nsukka and 8 years experience working as Public Relations Officer for an NGO get a positive skill assessment from VETASSESS?
Apart from your degree not related, UNN is a tier 2 university and your 4 year degree cannot assess for a level 1 occupation with Vetassess. it's an automatic negative assessment.
I am a graduate of industrial chemistry from a state university. I have 5 years experience in banking, currently in sales and marketing unit. I have carefully studied the 189 occupation list and can’t seem to find anything related to banking.
Please gurus in the house, do I still have a chance of applying and what can I do?
Thank you
none. Check out student application or other countries
On the form 80, there's a section that asks to include details of friends or relatives in Oz. I have a handful of friends there (like 3 really all in different states) but we do not communicate constantly. Is it ok to not include their details? I'm not keen on asking them for things like their address information.
Thanks.
Don’t include any details. Skip it. You are going in on skilled migration so you should have enough to take care of yourself.
I would have love that my wife should apply because she will earn more point on age and being a grad from OAU but most schools she worked for is not standard and the bank statement might be the issue even though we can still work out payslip for her because they re paid mostly cash ....
And do you feel anyone going between us should write IELTS exam?
Do you still feel my wife should apply instead of me pls?
Your spouse can assess just her qualification instead of +employment as long as she gets the high score in IELTS Academic. Check AITSL website for all the details. If you have the funds, both of you can assess
The IELTS exam is only thing left and is in pipeline. Currently preparation hard for it cos the the bands they set no be here. Will message you once I have that for more guidance. Kindly wish me luck.
And please is University of ilorin a tier 1 university or tier 2 university?
Thanks for the good job you doing on this thread. God bless you richly.
Ilias2: That's the PR route for now. If a trip to Ghana is the price to pay, it is way cheaper than doing a masters program. Masters leads to PR - and you will still do the same process as well. Go through skill-assessment.
If you have the required skills, education and work experience, I reckon you should go for it and push for regional area to give you better leverage …or even remote area.
Spot on!
To everyone, skilled migration should be your first choice. If you are not eligible, then explore student visa. It saves you money and stress because if you come in with student visa, you will still be back to the skilled migration process except you plan to come back to Nigeria.
You can only imagine if you spend less and get in on work visa! You can start earning straight, no school fees to pay or any restriction.
thug: I checked and this path requires me to assess my skills as a pharmacist. The fees is outrageous and the nearest center for the exam is Ghana. If there where other path with the exception of the school route, I go follow. However, if there is any other path that will not require me to assess my skills, let me know. I appreciate your input sir.
As a pharmacist, you can assess as a pharmacy technician and avoid the KAPS exam until you land in Australia but you may be able to get 491 only. But if you have the funds, go for Pharmacist. Write the exam and have a shot at 189/190. Straight PR. The choice is yours.
PaPxM: @TunlexO1, Could you please advise on this, this is the only thing holding me back now, once I figure this out, I can strat with assestment. Kindly advise on this as well, My first Job in South Africa, I didn't have a permit by then so it was paid Cash in Hand, I can get payslips but how do I go about the other proof, Should I let the manager state the salary in the reference letter or he should draft a cover letter stating the reasons? I was using asylum which didn't allow one to open a bank account but can school and work with that. Moreover, I registered with SARS(Tax Revenue Service) only in 2020. I worked for this employer from 2016 - 2019
Sadly you can’t add that employment if there is no document to prove it. You need at least tax/pension/bank statement to prove that with TRA. Only submit the company you have document for from 2020
Pls, what are my chances in this skilled worker in Australia.
I am 36yrs of age. I finished in a Polytechnic in 2011 (Accounting) and over 10 to 11yrs experience in Admin, Accountant and Hospitality. I am planning the route with Hospitality because that is the current role which is over 3years as a Restaurant Manager. I am married with a kid. My wife have B.Ed in Biology.
Do you see this flying Sirs....
Your swift response will be highly appreciated.
Ahmed.
You have a chance. What about your spouse? Teachers have better chances these days.
benincities: Good day my elders in the thread and I commend your contributions in this DIY thread. I have a few questions I will like @bellong, @tulex and others with information to assist me in deciding what to do. 1. I have a B.Sc in Botany from the University of Benin and graduated in 2008 but I have never worked as a botanist. 2. I have been working as School Administrator with a cumulative of 10 years experience in international schools both in Port Harcourt and Abuja. 3. Currently I'm a head of non academic staff in an international school and part of my responsibilities is direct supervision of the gardeners and the school landscape maintenance. 4. Botany is on the Skill Occupation list but a Level 1 while my B.Sc is from a tier 2 University which will not be approved. 5. I also have a PGDE in Educational Management without Teaching Practice hence cannot assess as a Secondary School Teacher. 6. I am thinking of Assessing as a Landscape gardener which is a level 3 occupation and only requires a minimum of Level 3 certificate. 7. If I tweak my JD to that of a Landscape gardener and with my qualification as a Botanist, will I have a positive assessment with my higher qualification of B.Sc as against a Certificate 3 on TRA website. 8. I have a Pay slip, Pension, Tax certificate and Bank statement for the 3 years that I have a direct supervisory role to the gardeners / landscaping among other responsibilities. I can discuss with our HR dept. to write a reference letter for me with the responsibility of a gardener for the purpose of migrating only. Apologies for the long questions I'm 38 years, yet to write IELTS but will do after the assessment, My wife is 33 years with a B.Ed but due to the long process of Assessing as a teacher which requires licensing with a state teacher registration board before AITSL, I decide to be the main applicant because its faster and less expensive via TRA.
You can assess as a landscape gardener. You can have a higher qualification but not a lower qualification. So Botany should fly.
Teacher process is shorter than TRA. She doesn’t need to be registered with a state for skilled migration. And nomination is faster with AITSL as long as she meets the English language requirement
Larry456: Morning gurus in the house. A graduate of University of Ilorin 4years course in Education wants to access for secondary school teacher skill level 1
All papers are ready.... But I read something on this thread that tier 1 universities in Nigeria can only be assessed for skill level 1 if it's a 5years course and not 4years course. Please clarification on this oo. Make money no enter Expressway Thank you.
This is not applicable to all assessing authorities and I don’t know if AITSL uses that. They are more concerned with teaching practice. The applications I have seen are from Tier 1 universities so I don’t know if a tier 2 has tried assessing before.
Do you have your IELTS Academic result ready as well?
Elachuks: Good morning amiable nairalanders, I want to know how I can apply for 491, or 190 visa as a mathematics graduate since 2010 without any work experience in the field, but I have been running my own businesses from cleaning business to beauty business. Do I stand a chance? Please help a sister.
You need to find an occupation in the occupation list first. Please check few pages back to see the guide
Mille: I have an opportunity to go to Europe but I once lived there and I'm not really a fan of the language barrier. That's why I ran earlier.
Please I'm looking forward to preparing for nsw 491 using Agricultural scientist and I'd really appreciate some help.
- For the Agricultural scientist, I can see vetassess requires one year of highly relevant experience for assessment. I haven't worked in the Agricultural field since I graduated. Is it possible to use my NYSC for the experience? I served at the Ministry of Agriculture.
- NSW 491 requires that you apply to an RDA office. Is state nomination guaranteed after applying when you meet the minimum requirements?
- Finally, I'm only married traditionally and my wife doesn't intent to travel abroad permanently, only to visit periodically. Can I apply as a single alone with my child to get the extra points? Will it have any effects on my wife securing a visit visa?
Cc: bellong Tunlex NB1912
1. NYSC experience is usually 11 months but if you can make it 12 months, it should fly. 2. If you meet the minimum requirement, you should get it. If not, NSW will notify why you are nott getting the nomination. 3. You cannot apply as a single applicant (please note this cos I have a few people who have withdrawn and another planning to withdraw their application because the CO is questioning it - loss of money & time). The moment you have a partner whether legally married or not, you are no longer single. So technically, you are in a de-facto relationship. So declare that and include your spouse and kid in the application. Get your spouse to write English test (if you need extra 5 points from her). If you don't need the extra points, her uni transcript and letter of instruction in English should suffice.
You can also add your spouse to the application and she can visit anytime she wants instead of visitor visa.
Saynoomore: @ Tunlex and gurus in the house, I greet you all! Please these form 80, can we fill and scan all, or just in-text the pdf forms, then sign and scan only the last page? I don't want to hear stories that touch , so I'm thinking of scanning all pages, but the MB size will be too much.
yes you can complete only and only print the last page then merge with ilovepdf.com
