Hi Guys, I'm thrilled by the vital information exchange that goes on here. It's very much appreciated. God bless all of our resource persons.

Fam, pls I have a question. I'm in the process of getting Skills Assessment for Information Sec with ACS and it seems like a few of their policies have changed. Now applicants are warned to upload only coloured scanned copies of original documents and no mention of notarized copies. Infact they said that they don't want certified true copies.

I mean, it's a bit contrasting to all the talk of notarised copies that people have been talking about here. Do you think I should proceed to submit my coloured scanned documents or I should notarize the the photocopies and upload?
A
lso, does processing a student visa alongside PR present any issues for the applicant?

Our Gurus, please over to you. Thank you.

The information here have dates on them to give you an idea of when they were posted.
For ACS, changes have been made, so you should go with the information on their website.
Which occupation are you assessing and do you have a degree in Computer science?
It may if you submit both visa applications together as the student visa may be refused being that it will not fulfil the terms of wanting to return back to home country.
However, there is no issue if you are just in the process (assessment and EOIs) and haven’t applied for any skilled visa yet.

Can one upload another IELTS results after having your evaluation with engineers Australia?

Upload to EA or where?

Oge90:
I have a B.Sc(4 year course) from a non-tier 1 university and I'm thinking of going for one of the occupation whose minimum qualification is a certificate IV. Is this possible, given that my B.Sc is higher? Will I get a positive assessment qualification-wise?

Thank you.

Yes it’s possible if they are related

Hi everyone, my wife has been interviewing with one of the big 4 in Australia and she just got a success mail asking of her salary expectations and “if she’s coming with anyone “? I will like to seek advice from gurus before we respond, if the firm will be willing to sponsor the 2 of us or I should let her go alone while i join her later. Thanks

Ps. We are just a year in marriage

Cc auss4life bellong

If you still need help with the salary expectation, let me know. I work in a Big4 here.

joeybillz:
goodday aduktus,please can you explain what Global Talent Independent program is,someone shared a link to me about it abd said i shd apply to Australia...ive no idea at all about it...i have Bsc in fisheries.. am i qualified to apply? Thanks

You can read about it on the immigration website.
With Bsc in fisheries, you are most likely not eligible except you have multiple international standard publications. These days, most invitees are Phd holders with outstanding international publications in the GTI fields of interest

mokikeoj:
Please I would like to find out if an elderly person visiting Australia is required to take the yellow fever and polio vaccines or if they are exempted.

Yes, both vaccines are still mandatory for Nigerians

Be specific about the occupation you have assessed and the one(s) you want to assess

adeoladele:
Please anyone here assessed for IT, please I need your help

What do you mean IT? Can you be more specific? There are more than 30 IT occupations on the list.

FreshBoss007:
For architect who did pr, which region is best to apply for

My estimated points is 75

Your estimated point may be low. Check anzscosearch.com to see the number of people waiting.
If 491 is available in any state, you should go for it too

FreshBoss007:
GOod evening all,

Please when making an EOI, Can one apply for a visa class 189,190 and 491 at once?

I saw the option while filling the form, @Bellong and tunlex

Yes but only choose one state per EOI
You should also create multiple EOIs for the states you are targeting/nominating your occupation

izang87:
@tunlex01 and @bellong.

Please I kindly want to confirm something for the employer template required for TRA assessment.
Where I previously worked, my line manager has left the company and working in some other company.
Can he still fill the template considering he longer works where he was my line manager or it must be a someone from my previous place of work presently working there that will be responsible for the filling?

Thanks.

Yes he can; he can also add that he is no longer with the organisation but was your manager at the time he was there

AbdulAkpan:
Hello friends, my brother has a bachelor's degree in Economics and an HND in Business Administration.

He has six years banking experience, and has worked as an accountant in a local hotel.

Question is, can he apply for the accountant opportunity?

I'm not sure he can without a degree in Accounting

ayoade777:
Good morning folks
pls am assessing agricultural Scientist with VETASSESS
and they requested for samples of scientific research reports
pls anyone with samples of what the research reports look like.

I think it should be reports of the researches you have done. There is no defined format

kadiens:
Hi guys! I have read through many pages (kudos to all who have been answering questions) but i am still skeptical about my eligibility even after filling the point calculator which came out as 80.
I have a BSc Accounting -2013 and I have worked as an Accountant for 6 years. My IELTS band is 8. I am single and 32 years of age. I have ICAN but this being a Nigerian certification, I am willing to go for CIMA if this will help with my assessment. Or will just my BSc and ICAN be sufficient? My fear is; fund is limited, so of course I would like to put it to best use. Thank you in anticipation.

Sincerely, chances are very slim for offshore accountants. Even accountants onshore at the moment are finding it hard to get a nomination.
I'm not one to discourage, but for now, I don't think Accountants outside Australia has a chance of being nominated except you are able to get up to 105 points for 189.

ChisZom:
Alright. Thank you

In addition, remember to state your partner's refusal in form 80 and your application if it's requested

NHQGUY:
Thanks, boss.
Lodged the EOI on 13th of the month.
Points for various visa subclass:
189: 70points
190: 75points
491: 85points.

Eagerly waiting for nomination to commence for offshore applicants, not willing to wait for 189.

189 may be a long wait but keep an eye on NSW and SA. Check all the states migration websites as well

ozijay:
What I NOTICED about this misleading thread is too much criticism and unwavering gesture to lay verdict on peoples attempt to travel calling everything FAKE FAKE FAKE howbeit no-one has been able to SHOW to you the REAL VISA, OR REAL WORK PERMIT E-VISA. I have an inlaw in NEWZEALAND and some of what you deemed to be FAKE here are actually real. If you can't present to anyone proof of what you supposedly call original travel documents pls just sht up.

I’m sorry I won’t do that again�

You are the one requesting for confirmation but you want me to show you a real visa so other scammers on the thread can use that same format to defraud unsuspecting public!
I’m not going to fall for that!

Any information you need, you can ask your in-law or call the country’s immigration department directly.

NHQGUY:
Hello, all.
My family composition is myself, wife and daughter.
In filling out my EOI, this section requires the number of family that will be coming along principal applicant.
My confusion is, do i add my partner in counting (making it two) or just an extra family member (in this case, my daughter).
I'll really appreciate a feedback from the gurus here.
Thanks.

1. yes
2. 2 family members (your wife and daughter)

larryray26:
What could be wrong if organization sponsoring ones visa for Australia visa can't produce ones HAP ID? The HAP ID is very necessary for Australia visa medicals. How can someone know Australia visa process by a sponsored company is genuine? Pls someone should help

The company should email DHA to check what's wrong.
Check the company's profile online and call them. Also, it's very tricky that one would get a job outside of the country at this time.
Although if your occupation is in the Primary occupation list then that could work.

donpaulo44:
Thanks. He finally sent a proof that the visa was actually lodged. 489 was in use the time the visa was lodged in August 2019. I think it was in November they replaced it with 491. However, they said they’ll attend to all pending 489 cases before scrapping it off entirely.

That's a relief! All pending 489 will be processed.

NHQGUY:
Just got a response from VETASSESS

POSITIVE!!

Educational level equivalent to AQF Bachelor Degree.

Number of employment years assessed positively 5.82.

Occupation: Valuer.

This feels so good.
Unto the next hurdle.
God be praised.

Congratulation! If you already have your English result, you should lodge your Expression of Interest (EOI) asap.

eyeamdivine:
Hello house, i am just finishing my SSCE and i want to study social work in Australia, Any advise? What documents do i need?

slimy205:

Pls house how legit is the site above for Australian visa application

That is just a migration agent website.

The official website of Department of Home Affairs is immi.homeaffairs.gov.au

haywhyliberty1:
Pls I'm confused if this new Zealand visa is real.. pls can someone help me check it before I go ahead for flights package

Fake as it can be. Take your time and read previous posts from people who got this same visa. It’s fake. Get your money and flee!

Dykodd:
Hello guys, please I need your help.

I wirhdrew one of my EOIs on Saturday 8th May 2021 (please blame village people).

Fortunately/Unfortunately, I received a preinvite from SA this morning on the EOI I withdrew on Saturday which no longer exists on Skillselect.

I really don't know what to do.

Any idea what to do about this situation?

Thanks in advance

Create a new EOI.
Then on your SA migration profile, send an enquiry to the Migration team, they will update the new one for you

Please assist, I am a chartered accountant in Nigeria who fall out from the canada competitive PR system due to age (36), but still have valid documentations such as POF, IELTS, etc.
Now I intend to go the Australian route and will need guides to what is required, especially in verifying my accounting qualification and work experience.
Also which body is in charge of this function for accountants.

Please help my condition.

Thanks

You will need to read the first few pages of this thread and go through the Anzsco website.
Sincerely, Canada is still your option cos offshore accountants is a long shot in Australia as the country has more than enough Graduates waiting to be nominated for that same occupation.
Not to discourage you, but if you intend to go ahead with it, brace up for the long wait.
There are many people here who have been waiting since 2018 and have not gotten ITA.
My advise, if you have the funds, go for it and see what the new financial year in July has for migrants

Smile4mee01:
Guys I need advice.

I am already in Victoria, Australia on a student VISA. However my study is not on the skilled list, and i am reluctant to change course to health or nursing as i have no passion for it. I am 36, a very Single Male. People tell me to either marry or consider the Skilled list option.

I have Bsc. Mathematics & Statistics, UNILAG 2008 and worked in Banking in Nigeria for 6yrs & 2 yrs before coming here. I worked in branch operations and not related to my Course. Now Mathematics & Stats is on the skilled list, but how do i sort out the work experience to help my course.

I will be happy is anyone can help. Thank you

This should have been thought through before applying to any course from Nigeria
If your aim is to get PR or work visa after your studies, then your best bet is to only study a course or related one to occupations listed on the Occupation list or marry like they suggested or you plan to come back after your studies. There are no two ways about it.
Vetassess cannot assess you without at least 1 year experience as a Mathematician.
