Hi guys , does work experience before completion of degree count as experience ?
No, except the occupation is level 2 and below and you have a previous qualification like ND or trade test.
It can also help for assessment with ACS

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?
If he applied and paid for 489 visa, he will be granted same

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?
Most likely the whole 8 years will be taken out. CCNP may not help

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.
Your initial date of entry should be stated on your visa. If it's before March 8 and you can't meet up, pls send an email to DHA for extension giving cogent reason(s).

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
Yes, the family can stay over and PA comes back.
I don't know the maximum time you can stay in Nigeria but you may not be able to apply for 191 PR at exactly 3 years cos the family members in the application has to show proof of working and living in regional Australia for 3 years.
Accommodation being expensive is relative. There are cheap accommodation in each state/city. The farther you move from the City/CBD, the cheaper.
When you also get grant, you are given 1 year to land. So you can take your time, gather the money and move once.

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.
Not mandatory, however any band less than 7 in IELTS is zero point for English which will reduce your total points drastically.
AIM does not require English test for assessment however you will need the English result to be able to apply for state nomination.
NT and VIC are open to minimum of IELTS 6, however these and other states also have other requirements like having 85 points in total. The possibility of having up to 75 points with zero points in English is low.
Most states won't consider an HRM with a 5.5 in IELTS when Trade occupation applicants are currently going beyond Competent English to get ITA.
IF you report directly to the MD of your organisation, please proceed with your AIM assessment while you prepare for another IELTS or switch to PTE.

Good luck.

@LondonBook,

Biometric is only for temporary visas. If you are applying for permanent resident visa or pathway to PR visas, biometric is not required.
Correct...biometrics is only required for 491 visa for skilled migration.

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!

@sumji, as Bligs mentioned, 491 is the new gold, although it has it benefits which includes Medicare, it's still not PR but pathway to PR.
This means you'll do
Masters 2 years
PGWV 2 years
491 visa 3 years before you can apply for PR
PR - indefinite.

You may be lucky to get 491 even before your 2 years PGW visa expires.


Also note that only 2 years degree and above will qualify you for PGW. Anything less than that, no PGW visa

If your course/occupation is not a competitive one, I'd advise you go opt for the student route.

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
Your occupation will determine the process. If it's Mathematics, lecturing or data science, qualification only does not really help. You will need a verifiable experience (at least 1 year) to get a positive assessment from Vetassess or ACS.

The error is from the school. Have to the school for correction but was told nothing can be done.
Get them to correct it. If possible, scare them with a law suit cos you will still have to submit the transcript when you are applying for visa and you will need to explain to the CO why you have different birth dates especially if the years will give you different points in the age grouping.

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.

cc: tunlex01 bellong
The easiest option way will be marriage. Any other way may be 'suffer head' and most likely won't be rosy.

If she invites you on a visit visa, you cant work with that. You will still need to be out of the country to apply for any other visa.

Sincerely, there is little she can do except she's your relative (family or by marriage)

With a 3rd class it will be difficult to get a direct masters, but it's possible. You might need to back it up with work experience to receive a direct masters. If you don't have work experience, your best bet would be to get either a packaged graduate certificate + Masters course or a packaged Masters qualifying course + Master.

With regards to degree that would lead to PR, there are numerous occupations on the PR list, however, you need to be aware that the PR process is now more competitive and it's not a guarantee. Gone are the days when if you studied here you are almost guaranteed a PR, but things have changed. There are lots of Nigerian students who have studied here for 2 years and are still unable to secure PR. A lot of them had to relocate to Tasmania, South Australia and Darwin to study another 2 years course in order to receive state sponsorship for PR (Not a guarantee). If you want to choose a state to study, i would recommend you go to regional area, however, be aware that it's difficult finding jobs in regional areas compared to cities in case your plan is to raise part of your tuition fees. Regarding course of study, I would recommend Social work as it's a bit less competitive and it's available on almost all states occupation list. There are also other occupations but you might need to do a bit of research.

Lastly, ensure you do some thorough research prior to proceeding as you will be better prepared for the battle ahead. I wish you all the very best.

Cheers!
Great insight you have shared.

@Jenny1000 if you have experience as a Microbiologist or related discipline, I'd advise you explore the PR route now.
