Unn is a tier 2 university and as a result, you can’t assess for a level 1 occupation like economist

Thanks for your response, but can he assess as a sales representative with 5 years experience?

What's the anzsco code of the occupation?

Saynoomore:
Chai! Thanks anyways.

Please, is it true that all VETASSESS submissions will get an interview invite? I have just submitted o!

Hi house.

My spouse wrote IELTS again, abut had SLWR: 8,7,7,5.5.

I need her to have at least 6 in all to qualify for Competent speaker, but she's finding it difficult. One component is always less than 6.

How else can I get additional points should I decide not to gain points from her. We don't want to keep wasting money on IELTS. I'm currently on 70 points (minus nomination) waiting for VETASSESS. I fear that in the next 7 months, I will lose 10 points to age... bringing my score to 60. It would have been nice to have that 5 points from her to remain relevant in the pool. ..even after my next birthday. Please advise!

Keep practicing and re-writing or remark the current result. There is no other way

MrsJoycey1:
Hello House,

I have an ITA for 189 with a 65 score but have a concern.

VETASSES assessment in 2020 was 1.78 and not 3 as claimed. So it's assumed I may lose that 5 points, however I am still in that occupation and have been advised to go ahead with my application but put in supporting documents to show I am still employed there.

Çan anyone please advice?

From the months Vetassess approved till you got ITA, is it 3 years already?

Anosky:
If u recall some time in February I was frantic cus my husband got negative vetasses . Well we did a reassessment and got a positive … only 1 year removed .. we changed our occupation and reference letters.. Wrote PTE and we both aced it with speaking 90,90,87,85..

Now we are at the stage of EOI.. we got a lot of useful information here .. let’s definitely keep this thread alive.. it is worth it .. I felt I needed to give back incase anyone needed help.

Congratulations.
Good to know. What are your occupations?

A few states are already open

EngrKing1:
Hello everyone, Good morning, I have challenge at the moment, I work with an outsourced company and we staff don't get taxed, or any pension profile greeted.. we only receive salary on monthly basic, please is this mandatory while submitting for ACS program, or would be an issue? kindly assist on this.

It’s mandatory for ACS. You won’t get a positive assessment without pension or tax

Decentdave:
@Tunlex I really need to know the current amount for TRA now pls...and again I noticed a slight changes in their requirements..Thanks

I don’t know. You should follow what’s on their website.

UNN
I was referring to the university you graduated from

Unn is a tier 2 university and as a result, you can’t assess for a level 1 occupation like economist

Marablac:
Only Bsc in Economics

Depends on the time qualifications you have.
And the role.
What’s your qualification(s)?

I was referring to the university you graduated from

The GTI visa process has changed in the last 12 months. It’s become tighter and nomination is now mandatory which is difficult to get (although not impossible).
DHA has now switched to 189/190 again

aduktus:
Yes, you stand a chance as per the attached info.

Doesn’t work that way though

Hi, I am a Pharmacist looking to explore this.
Hospital pharmacist is on the list.
But I have to pass KAPS exams in Addy to the eligibility assessment.
Please where do I get info on proof of funds required for a family of four?

For 189 visa, POF is not required.
For state sponsored 190/491, only Queensland requires POF

You can also assess as a pharmacy technician; saves the stress of KAPS

Tunlex01 Thanks again for your assistance as usual.
I kindly what to be sure about something.
Must my wife write IELTS as a secondary applicant?
No intention of skills assessment for her and so no intention to get extra points for spouse.
if it is compulsory to have a proof of proficiency in English, Can a letter from her university as prove that she was taught in English be a sufficient proof?

No, it's not compulsory. You only don't get partner point.
yes, the letter and her transcript will be enough to proof functional English.

Saynoomore:
Thanks.

Please, In my Reference Letter from my employer, is my employer supposed to state the amount I earn (salary) and indicate its equivalent in AUS $ or USD?

No, in naira; except you are paid in USD

Saynoomore:
Im seeing several assessment types online. Please, which one exactly am I expected to apply for? In another webpage, I saw Full Assessment for about AUD$ 962!

I'm guessing it's the latter.

You need experience to assess for any Vetassess occupation.

Hi tunlex01
I have been waiting for 491 grant since April 2020 without any CO contact. I have been considering doing reassessment and English test. To apply for 189. What do you think.

It’s a good option. PR is worth it and better than 491.
The only snag is if you get 491 approved, then you can’t apply for any skilled visa until after 3 years.

Let's wait for further updates from VIc.

Let's wait for further updates from VIc.

ACT pre-invites coming through as well.

We have received nominations for University Lecturer, Construction project manager, Electrical engineering technician etc

There was an update yesterday from WA migration.

The WA Government has made changes to its migration program to support skilled workers looking to migrate to Western Australia including increasing occupations eligible for skilled migration in WA by around 60 per cent.

*New occupations have been added* to the Western Australian Skilled Migration Occupation List Schedule 1 (WASMOL Schedule 1) and the Western Australian Skilled Migration Occupation List Schedule 2 (WASMOL Schedule 2).
The list of newly available occupations can be found on the WA State Nomination – combined occupation list.

The WA Government has also *waived the $200 application fee* and has made changes to the requirements for new applicants as of 1 July 2022, including:

1.*Removal of the requirement to demonstrate sufficient funds for WA State nomination.*

2.*Reduction in the English requirements for applicants at the Manager and Professional occupation level to *the "competent" level of English.*

189 ITA flowed today for various occupations.
Check your emails if you have 189 EOI.

My supposed sponsor lives there, he was initially going to be my sponsor until we found out agricultural consultant wasn't on the occupation list of the Northern territory. I couldn't have assessed agricultural scientist because I had no experience in that line.

Please, can we access state sponsorship from another region and is it very likely we get one?

You can get state sponsorship from other states if you meet their requirement for your occupation.
Check all the states that are currently nominating and previous pages. There has been information posted on nominating states.

Hi Tunlex,

Am I a good fit for Australia PR?

Age: 35
Profession: Accountant/Management Consultant
Qualifications: B.Sc Economics; ICAN (ACA & AAT). Currently undergoing an online EMBA at Quantic University of Business and Technology.
Work Experience: Big4 Accounting firm - Accountant 4.5 years. Another Big4 consulting 1.5 years. Making 6 years altogether.
Family: Me, Wife and a 2 month old.

What are my chances, please. Thanks

The process is competitive for Accountant/Management consultant. You need to get a very high point like 95 and above which is very unrealistic for offshore applicant.
You best option is to look out for jobs in the big4 in Australia. They are still recruiting people into the country on 482 visa.

Kenyanne:
Thanks @tunlex01 for the prompt response. We didn't realise we have made a mistake until recently.

Pls, is it possible to get a state nomination or family sponsorship for agricultural consultant in the northern territory even if it is not on the occupation list?

Very unlikely for NT. Why NT though?

SA is coming with a bang!
500 occupations from next week Thursday.
Be prepared and ready

Kenyanne:
Gaood afternoon everyone, please I need your advice as to how to find my EOI. I received a positive assessment from vetassess some months back but my year experience was reduced to 2.2yrs.

What happened was that, I submitted 2 job experiences, the first one was 6yrs but with 15hours per week while the second was 3yrs plus with 40hours per week.

The first wasn't counted because it didn't meet the minimum 20hours per week to be qualified. This is because in the first 18months of the job, I enrolled for my masters and I was afraid it would affect my points if I had stated I also worked 20hours during this period.

I want to know if I can go ahead to fill 20hours per week in the remaining 4 and half years of my first job, in my EOI, without having an issues with my application later.

Thank you for your assistance.

You can only claim years of experience approved by your assessing authority as you can’t claim point for it.
You can include it in your EOI but select ‘not relevant to occupation”
You should have reassessed with Vetassess within 90 days.
This is why it’s important to mention stuff like this and get people to review your letter before submission.
