Hi guys my sis, has a BSC in chemistry, and would like to study an MSC in Australia, she would like to know the best course she can go for to be able to secure a PR easily and also a cheap university for that course.

Nothing is guaranteed as immigration laws do change from time to time. If she has at least 1 year experience, she may go for chemist or chemistry technician and assess with Vetassess.

Good morning good people,

I am compiling documents for employment records amongst others for EA skills assessment.

Anybody have a clue what secondary documentations will suffice and how to go about it.

"documents from government departments or any other government agency:
income tax return, social security insurance reports,
registration certificate, work permit, etc"

Common secondary documents required by EA are tax statement or pension statement for all the experience years you are submitting

Hello All,
What should be my next steps?

I have IELTS 8.5 overall, and at least 8 in all modules.
A BA and MA in Communications and Language Arts
10 years work experience as a Communication and PR Officer.

36 years old and married.

What program may I apply for, and and what are my chances of being selected?

Thank you all

Good English result you have there. Congratulations!
That's 20 points with 8 and above each band.

You can check Public relations professional if that relates to what you do. Which Universities awarded your degrees?

dew02:
Good day all, please am new here and have been reading the trend from page 1, I am interested in Australia immigration program and need your guidance. My profile goes thus:

Single
34yr
Agric. Consultant/ Scientist
B.sc Animal production and health ( Second class upper), M.sc Animal science PhD grade.
IELTS academics 6.5 will lapse by August 2, so am planing to write another one
Self Employed ( poultry and fisher business) for almost 6years.
With the above profile, am I eligible to apply for 189 or 491 and what is the procedure. In addition, am not sure whether to write IELTS academic or general and I don't have a pay slip. Thanks in anticipation.

Agricultural consultant/scientist are a bit competitive at the moment. You may try out other Agric occupations like poultry farmer etc. Go through the occupation list and check for other occupations you can nominate.
Do you have company registration documents and tax payment for the 6 years?
You may be eligible for 189 but I'm not sure your total point can get you 189 visa, but you may be eligible for 190 and 491.
Read the thread to know the procedure. You can also visit Vetassess website to read about their requirements.
You can write either of the English test. Both are acceptable

Pearlmadeit:
Hello everyone.
I've stuck to this thread for over a month now taking it all in. I feel like I have what it takes to get the required minimum point (I'm just 29, single, I have around 7 years work experience, the right qualification and I've demonstrated superior english twice- it's a requirement for my job that you have the certificate).
However there is a sour topic I never came across. I'm HIV positive, undetectable though. I'm worried about the medical screening process.
I've read that there are certain circumstances under the waiver provision when a person can be granted permanent visa.
If there's anyone who can help, either you've had a personal successful experience or you know someone who has, I'd really appreciate a feedback soon.
(Feel free to send me an email please)

.
I don't want to go on a wild goose chase.

Most people won't discuss such on a forum like this but I can assure you that you don't have anything to worry about. People living with HIV and HBV have gotten visa. Although HIV is one of the health risks critically assessed by DHA and reviewed by the medical team on a case-by-case basis (cd4 count) if you are undetected, it won't result in a rejection of your visa.

Go ahead and assess if you meet the requirements of your assessing body.

derommyvent:
Good day all, just a quick one, please I have noticed that almost all regions have a requirement of having an offer of employment as part of their requirements. Please for someone applying from Nigeria, how do you fulfill this requirement. Thanks.
CC: Bellong
CC: Tunlex 01

That's depends on your occupation though. Not all occupations/state have such requirements. You other option is to assess for another occupation that does not have this requirement.

momamorgz:
Can I stay in any other regional area of Australia on a 489 visa after being nominated by Tasmania?

Yes you can.

Nedu2144:
Good morning all...

I am new here and have gone through page one but somethings are still confusing.
I couldn't see my Job role/tittle on the list on Australian website. Does it mean it is not for everyone
Below are my details;

Job designation: Administrative/ticketing Officer(job role is more of admin assistant)
Age(27):30 points
Degree (Bsc):15 points
Ielts LRSW 8.5,7.5,6.5 and 7 (speaking is 6.5)...can be improved to get 10 points
Experience 3yrs plus = 5 points
Total = 50 for now, hoping for 10 extra points

Also vantessa website still doesn't show this.

Admin role is not on d occupation list which means it's not for everyone.

You can try other option like schooling or another country

godguy:
done, thanks

With a state uni, your wife can not assess as a Statistician which is a level 1 occupation.

You also do not have the required educational qualifications to assess as a DB Admin. I am not sure if ACS or TRA will consider an MBA even though it's Data mining option; it's still not a Computer science degree

okunbor:
Thanks Tunlex01

Ok, I will download the MSA booklet and read. Pls .what is CDR? I have both the pension and tax statements for the years. We have not sat for the IELTS exam.


She is 2yrs plus as CMU, before CMU she was the head of tellers.

when you review the website you will understand the CDR. For EA, you need to write English test before assessment.
she wont get point for experience then since it's about 2 years. She can assess as Financial Institution Branch manager

okunbor:
HND in Petroleum Engineering - 2001
B.Eng in Petroleum Engineering - 2005- Direct Entry into 300 level


Wife :
Banking Operation: Head of cash management unit.

On MLTSSL- I saw Petroleum Engineering occupation.

Visit EA website to read about the requirements for Petroleum Engineer. You will need to read the MSA booklet and write CDR. Do you have pension or tax statement for all the years?

Your spouse can assess as Financial institution branch manager if she is the head of a CMU. How long has she been managing the CMU?

MrsJoycey1:
Thanks!!

I have taken IELTS: RWSL/ 8,7.5,7.5,7.5 (5points to him) and think a positive assessment will give him an additional 5points.

I wouldn't want to waste resources at this point. Is there any one who has assessed with vetassess for lecturing? Can you please share your experience?

Assessing as a University lecturer is one of the easiest occupations to assess with Vetassess if you have your MSc, employment documents and aligned job descriptions.

If it's not necessary, you can wait for your spouse's assessment result then.

okunbor:
41 yrs age.

Discipline: Petroleum Engineering -HND and B.Eng. 9yrs experience in oil and gas industry.

Wife:
Bsc in Computer science and MBA -12 yrs banking experience in operations.
Age ; 38

I am interested in Australian Skilled Immigration,
I work with a multinational oil servicing company for over 9 yrs as field engineer.
I obtained both HND / B.Eng in Petroleum Engineering.
Less than 43 yrs old in age and married.
Please, what are the steps to be taken for the immigration process?
@mamatwiny,@tunlex01,@Bodacious
Thanks for your response.

What years were you awarded your HND and BEng respectively.
Operation is a division not a job role. What is your spouse's job function in Operation (job titles preferably).

Then check the occupation list to see the occupation you can nominate.
Visit www.anzscosearch.com
On the top middle page click "Lists" (on a laptop/computer) or click the Hamburger sign (3 horizontal lines) to select "Lists" if you are using a mobile device
Go through the 3 lists MLTSSL, STSOL and ROL
Click any of the occupations that best relate to what you do.
When you click the occupation, scroll down to 'Anzsco code' and scroll to 'Tasks'
Check if the tasks relate to the occupation you have selected.
Revert here with occupation(s) you deem relate to what you do and we will take it up from there

piyoo91:
Pls sombody should put me through...i hav only a national diploma in electrical engineering and am a welder, i also operate earth moving machine like pairloader & forklift. Am 33yrs now and i hav been working in a private factory for over 10yrs now...my question is, can i apply for australian visa as a skill worker? Pls somone should answer me

Sure you can. Do you have bank statement, pay slips, tax or pension statements for the 10 years
Go through the occupation list and determine the exact occupation you want to nominate.

MrsJoycey1:
Hello everyone,

Please can one have a positive assessment with vetassess as a lecturer with a PhD but without PGDE?

My husband on the other hand is the principal applicant and about sending his documents to AIMS for assessment for MLT as well, I believe the results will come out positive. We are considering Southern Australia or Northern territories.

Any advice?

Yes, you don't need a Pgde to assess as a University lecturer. You only need MSc and above

mamatwiny:
Please include you have a bsc in electrical and electronics Engineering from Convenant University so that you can adequately be advised cos of all these their relevant education, rpl etc things.

My own verdict- it is a 50-50 thing cos of your undergrad degree and you don't have more than 6 years experience which they may deduct in lieu of relevant experience if they don't see elect &elect as relevant experience.

It is good you place all the cards on the table so that you don't go and waste money unnecessarily or even if you are in it, you know how to condition your mind.
Na d major wahala for Aussie parole .



For the proof of payment evidence, I put 3 payslips per year- January, June and Dec. I also got my pension statement from the provider. You can also add statement of your salary account

Waiting for the ogas to come and torch light ur matter regarding relevance.

With a non relevant degree, he should not bother to apply to ACS cos his years of experience is not even enough for dedcution so it's most likely going to be a negative assessment.
TRA also don't do non-relevant degree

Froshloaded:
Oh..
Sorry another question..
How many point is needed for permanent residency?? And how many years will be given if granted?

65 points is the minimum point for skilled migration visas (189, 190 and 491) however each occupation/state have different points requirements to give you nomination. It's all dependent on your occupation, the state you reside in Australia etc., so it's not a one-size-fits-all approach.

All the 3 visas are 5 years.

derommyvent:
Please house thanks for the good work here.
I have read most of the chat and my case is a little bit different.
I studied civil engineering, I have ND & HND from Ibadan Polytechnic (2000), and an MSC from UK (2013).
I will be 43 this October, I want to go for 491 so as to get the 15points which with superior English will give me 90.

First question, I want to assess as a Civil engineering draftperson, a tier 2 qualification, do I need to hide my MSC for VETASSESS. My job description is similar to this and I have 18 years post HND. Although I can't lay my hand on the old employment letter and payslip

Secondly I will be over 45 in 3 years time and can not make any PR by Then, but fortunately, my wife is 35 and studied Computer science. My question is can she switch to be the primary candidate after our 491 considering the fact now that she does not have much experience now.
Plan is for her to go for study there and also work and then go for 189/ 190 with here after she could have muster like 4 years experience onshore.

Thirdly, Civil engineering draughtsperson is assessed by either VETASSESS or EA, which is advisable I use.
Thanks
Cc: Bellong
Cc: Tunlex01

1. If you are want to claim more experience points, then you will not need to add your Msc cos Vetassess will start counting from 2013. This will also mean your education point will be 10 instead of 15
Only experience in that last 10 years will be assessed.

2. If you get in with 491, age does not come to play when applying for 191 PR. You or your spouse can either be the primary applicant.
3. Vetassess

Goodies1:
Hello to our gurus here!
Please help....
Can one claim partner points if spouse has positive assessment but is already 45?

Yes, you can only claim 5 points for competent English.

ajayidebo:
@bellong @tunlex01 any comments? I don't want to be too forward with my response.

lol..there is nothing to say about this.

Even the use of English is zero. It's 100% scam.
there are so many loopholes.
@mygirl83....every application goes through Immi account and Skill Select. Just delete and block the sender immediately.

Which assessment did you do and your assessing body?

TMJDiva:
Almost 3 years

that's the only occupation I see----financial institution branch manager but the years of experience is very low.

TMJDiva:
Wow you are definitely not a newbie at this ooo.. I appreciate your reply.

Bsc is Zoology from UNIBADAN and MBA 2017
Like I said, 15 years in banking in different Operations capacity, funds transfer, Cash officer, Head of operations now currently digital marketing which isn’t on the list.

What job skill can I claim points for pls. Thanks

How long were you an head of operations?

felixzo1:

You can land together or separately but you must all land with the initial entry date on your visas

MarkGud:
Hi Guys, how can one migrate to Australia after MSc prog (Materials Science) in Germany. Will appreciate any input.

'

Use the DIY Australian thread to ask your questions. If you have experience, you can go through the Skilled Migration option.

hammed71:
Guys please is there any chance for a Nigerian to get an unskilled worker's visa to work in Australia, please am asking because I don't have the funds for a students visa and also not eligible for skilled migration.
Thank you.

None that I know of. The options you mentioned above are the only ways considering your profile.

mamatwiny:
Please that your guy that got ITA from SA -ict customer support, was it for 190 or 491?

it was 491.

SA 190 has been scarce since July 2019.

mamatwiny:
I hope 491 is considered skilled migration.

In another news, there is an update from nsw on nominations. They said it is highly competitive and that ppl should try other regions.

yes 491 is.

OmenaVI:
Good evening house!

Wait o, hasn't anyone received their PR grant yet? Financial year is ending this June na.

Please if you have collected, bless us with your testimony

Thank you o.

There has been few 190 and 491 grants prior to March ending but due to Covid19, none since April thereabout

mamatwiny:
I think he can use trip advisor if he is looking for cheaper deals. ET and Turkish airlines are cheaper with 2 or 3 stops.

What of iom concession flight. Are ppl no longer using it? Can someone on 491 use it? I read they give more luggage limit and concession for ppl who are emigrating to Aussie.

Absolutely. Trip Advisor is a good option.
Concession flight with IOM is still available but not available for any other visa apart from Skilled migration visas.

Obinnau:
Abuja or Lagos to Melbourne

Adelaide was N1,041,000 for a single seat on Emirates last year November
