IT Support- 11 months
Project Management- 1 year 4 months
IT Support- 7yrs plus (till date)

Planning to go with my family- (Wife has a diploma with close age)

Thanking you in anticipation,

OK4.

Hi Gurus in the house,

I need advice. I have a B.Sc in Geophysics from Nigeria and soon to complete my M.Sc in Geoengineering from Finland. I have 0 work experience in this field and would like to know if it is possible to get a skilled work permit. Thanks in anticipation.

First you mentioned Civil Engineering Draftsperson as being less competitive. Yes it used to be less competitive, but not anymore. As PR got tougher, people started assessing for both Civil Engineering and Civil Engineering Draftsperson to boost their chances, hence it made it difficult for both occupation.

Yea VIC still sponsor offshore applicant for 190 but with a Civil Engineering occupation where there are so many applicants currently working in VIC and still waiting for sponsorship, hence his chances are very slim. VIC is notorious when it comes to rejection. Most sponsorships given to offshore applicants are mainly in health occupation or uncommon fields like Biotechnology etc. For occupations like Engineering and I.T, even if you receive a pre-invite from VIC, without a job offer, the chances of rejection is very high.

Yes I know NSW has two streams that's why I recommended NSW 491 as his best option if he is able to get maximum points in English. He is also able to go for 190 as a draftsperson but will require a very high point like 85 or 90 (based on recent trends).

You mentioned other states like TAS, ACT and NT.

TAS: He needs a job offer for both 190 and 491.

ACT: Have you ever had a look at the ACT Metrix to see how many points are awarded to those living or working in the state? Why do you think people are moving to ACT from other states? Invites are awarded purely based on highest points in ACT matrix and if you are offshore your chances are very slim.

NT: This is one of the hardest state to secure sponsorship if you are not currently living or working in the state. They only sponsor offshore applicants for 491. He will need to provide good employability statement with advert of his job and evidence of responses from recruiters regarding his employability prospect in the state. Have you searched on job adds like [b]SEEK [/b]for civil engineering jobs in NT? You might get like 3 to 4 job adds in a month, so how will he prove his employability prospect in the state?

My analysis are based on reality and what's happening in recent times. It's best to conduct a proper research before proceeding with anything. Cheers!

Hi Guys,

Is it compulsory that the spouse (not the primary applicant) writes the English Test, even when there is no intention to claim points?

NB1912:
Mate, 190 has become as difficult as 189 in recent times especially for those applying from overseas. Most states now require applicants to either be working and residing in the state or have a job offer before you can get sponsored. The government is trying to force new migrants to regional area (491). Looking at his occupatuon civil engineering (Anzco 233211), he is only eligible for VIC for 190 and VIC hardly sponsor applicants without a job offer. So in a nutshell, you need to be living and working in Australia to have a chance.

As for 491 he might be eligible. As of now, the only states he can apply to are NSW, NT and ACT as other states require a job offer. Note that sponsorship for NSW is competitive as priority will be given to applicants already working in the state. NT hardly sponsor those living overseas unless you can show exceptional reasons how you would contribute to their economy. I my opinion, NSW will be his best bet, but as there are lots of civil engineers already working in the state and unable to secure 190 invite, they will all rush to 491 which makes it even more competitive. To stand a chance, he needs a very high point and getting 8 each in all bands in either IELTS or PTE will be the deciding factor.

Hello house,

I am new in this Aussie forum and I wish to get some information before I start.
I am a Civil Engineer graduate with 6 years experience, I want to apply for Masters in any of the AL1 schools, i have checked the PR route but my points is 60, I didn't make the cutoff for 189. I graduated with 2.1 for my undergrad. and I will be writing my Pearson in a few weeks time because I have only IELTS general test at the moment which I think won't be accepted.

My questions are;
1. How much do I need in my account for the visa application?
2. Do I need Statement of account to apply to AL1 schools?
3. Can I use UKEAS for my application, as they are free? How good are they in the admission application? Any personal review from anyone that has used them before?
4. I have 14million in my account and I will be sponsoring myself, is this amount enough for the admission and visa application checks?
5. Any engineering masters program in the AL1 schools for November 2020 entry? I think I'm late for July admissions.

Please, help me out with any other information I don't have.

Thanks a lot for your assistance

Hi expert in the house, i would like you hear your thought on the interpretation of this English as per Vetassess and the emphasis is on the word preceding- "The qualifications listed below are accepted on a case-by-case basis if preceding at least one year of highly relevant consulting work in that specific field of study".

My qualification happens to be within those qualification that would be accepted on a case by case basis. My query is that does the preceding means one year experience in related field prior to graduation because all Industrial Training that we have in universities within Nigeria is either 6 months or three months.

Thanks

Hi guys , does work experience before completion of degree count as experience ?

chookudi:
Good day guys, I have a question in regards to the 489/491 visa and having gone through the thread, I can't seem to find an answer so I will appreciate if someone can help with an answer. My brother in law applied for the 489 visa in October 2019. Given that the 489 visa is no more, will he be granted a 489 visa with the conditions of a 491 attached or be granted a 491 visa with its attached conditions?

owenizes:
Hello house. I have a Bsc in sociology and I am CCNP Certified. Can 8 years of working experience in IT networking qualify me for the application?

How many years of work experience can ACS consider, if I do not have my first degree from the relevant field?

Justasking:
Good morning... I recently got my student grant.. Very late as school has resumed.. It is stated on my COE that I must enter before march 8th... My agent said if I enter after that, I will be sent back.. How true is this bro as rushing will make me miss a lot of things.

tunlex01,
In a situation where a couple gets grant for 491 and the wife is primary applicant, Can the family land Aussie, stay 1 week and the wife ( primary applicant) come back to Nigeria with the kid while the hubby remains?
If yes, what is the maximum time the primary applicant can stay in Nigeria b4 returning?

I ask cos if we get the visa, I will want to come back in Nigeria to work while hubby stay back in Aussie and takes short courses for easy penetration to the job market. I also heard accommodation is expensive so I will need to save up

shawnmich:
Please house I want to confirm, is it mandatory to have 7.0 in my IELTS before I could be eligible because I only score 5.5 in my Listening, 5.0 in my reading, 5.5 in writing and 6.0 in speaking, Over all total 5.5 is it possible for me to be eligible for the Australia residence permit application, though I want to apply for Human resources manager and it falls in Visa subclass 190 and 491. The assessing board which is [b]AIM [/b]did not request any English proficiency. Please can I proceed with the application with my IELTS result or I will need to write another one?
One more thing, how can I get nominated by the state?
Kindly please assist me...May God bless you.

@LondonBook,

Biometric is only for temporary visas. If you are applying for permanent resident visa or pathway to PR visas, biometric is not required.

Sumji:
Thanks a million for the extra breakdown. It's becoming clearer. The course I applied for fits the bill (2yrs/skilled list).
One is looking at 5-7years before PR... Okay. This gives my research focus, cause now I know what to look out for. Thanks!

Can you kindly throw more light on what increases people's "luck" in getting the 491 visa before the 2yrs PGWV expires? It's very critical..

More grease to your efforts sir!

Good day everyone, no knowledge is a waste, so they say.

Currently doing MS Mathematics here in US and trying to switch to Data Science career on graduation. With the way the US system is going, trying to get a plan B on ground, just in case.

To the experienced fellows here, please how can I navigate this route, hopefully with like a year or two years experience as a Data Analyst here.

What should I start working on from now, with a goal of moving next 2 tears through skilled migration or can I just move with my MS from here?

NB: Currently working as a Teaching Assistant in my dept here.

Thank You

The error is from the school. Have to the school for correction but was told nothing can be done.

iamMoshood:
Please house, I have an Australian friend who I've been working together with on several projects. She's a bonafide citizen of Australia and has lived there all her life. Now, seeing how difficult it is to get Australian PR through the conventional means, is there anyway she can make the process easier for me - maybe sending an invitation, maybe there's different kind of visa for it, anything at all?

I have discussed with her and she's willing to assist, but she doesn't know how.
