Welcome home

macfaded:
Here's my timeline.

Congrats. Which of the states ITA did you eventually submit application for?

metrecube:
Bro do you think that those that have assessed already can benefit from this. A year was deducted by vetassess from my experience years. Do you think i should add the one year in filling my EOI. The one year will give me additional 5 points and the additional point will go a long way in getting nomination on time. Thanks.

I can't say. Please email DHA, they'd give the appropriate clarification.

Hello house
I got a negative outcome last year due to "they couldn't contact my employer" .
Some persons said its because my company didnt have a functional website. Am about reapplying now as my company just built a website. Does this pose any risk since the website is still new?
Pls advise what i should do. Assessing body is TRA

No risk as long as it is genuine.

If it's not, it will be best to just create online presence with google

So I’ve never commented on this site, but fine job everyone is doing guiding Australian hopefuls.

I’ll like to add a couple of things.
1. Before you embark on skills assessment(which is not cheap btw), make sure you’ve gone through the various skills lists and be sure your nominated occupation is eligible for 189 and or 190/491.

2. Ensure you check the points table to see how many points you’re likely to earn and measure against the current points required to get invited.

3. With 189 being mostly out of reach this year owing to the high points required, ensure there’re states nominating the chosen occupation for either or 190/491, and that you meet the requirements.

I’m saying this because I’ve seen a lot of people spend money on getting assessed and even getting positive assessment, then turns out they either don’t have sufficient points or their nominated occupations wasn’t in the MLTSS or STSOL or that there’s no state currently nominating the occupation or they simply don’t meet the requirements.

Goodluck to everyone expecting to be invited for 189 later today.

Thanks for the heads up. The draw was conducted on the 10th and 90 points and above got ITA.

As much as your points are valid, I'll also like to add that for everyone whose occupation is currently not being nominated and you have the required points especially for 491, if you can do the assessment, please do it. Some occupations get filled up within 24 hours when the states may decide to open your occupations.

I believe the states are just testing waters with the 491 visa. More nominations would come in soon for offshore applicants.

Good luck to everyone.

Oga Bellong, Tunlex,
Please is there a separate thread for those who have completed their EOI's, awaiting invites, or awaiting Grant's?

Not at all. It's this same thread.

abroad2020:
Thank you sir, I have written the IELTS. What I have is enough for assessment as a Medical Laboratory Technician (7,8,6.5,7.5) but not enough to give me points for English Language. Please I would just like to know regions I can apply to. I have 4 years experience.

Visit www.anzscosearch.com/search to check the state nominating your occupation.

metrecube:
Please is IELTS result valid for two or three years.?I know that assessment is valid for three years. I saw tunlex01 comment on the students thread that it is valid for three years.

For Australian migration purposes only - valid for 3 years. This means you must have gotten ITA within the 3 years.

Dafa:
Hi Tulex01,

Thank you so much, I have checked the list of occupation and what relates to my profession;

222312 Financial Investment Manager (STSOL)
222311 Financial Investment Adviser(STSOL)

The above relates to my experience over the years, while 224111: Actuary (MLTSSL) relates to my BSC degree with little experience.

Ill appreciate your feedback..
Cheers

You can choose anyone of them. For the managerial occupation, you will be required to prove that you manage Financial investment advisers.

The FIM is open in two states (NSW - 5 years and SA - high points of 95)

BetterPerson007:
Hi Tunlex,
Thanks for your response.
I got my assessment result about 6 months ago. I recently passed my English test at the 4th attempt.
I am already following your suggestion below.

Also, I saw a notification on my EOI page that 491 category can do their medicals before lodging visa application:
Posted on: 9/01/2020 at 09:30

A reminder that for the subclass 491 visa you can do your medicals before you lodge your visa application. Details can be found at: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/meeting-our-requirements/health/when-to-have-health-examinations. Delaying your medicals can delay your visa processing.

Good and best of luck.

My e-family, is it possible to book Lagos to Sydney flight and spend some days with a relative in Newcastle before heading to Melbourne? ( Note: School resumes February ending).

I hope I will not have issues with immigration at the point of entry if they see that my inbound is far from my school.

I will need an urgent response. I am about booking. Thanks in anticipation

You wont have any issues, you are good to go with the plan.

abroad2020:
Please help me with this. Which region or state can I apply to for nomination with a total of 70 points (Nomination included). I have a 5-year Bachelors degree with a 4 years of experience practising as a medical lab scientist. Thanks in advance.

You should write English test first, then assess before requesting for a region to nominate your occupation. Please read from from the first page.

I just went through and you are right, it's very detailed.

And my next question (hopefully) the last is a matter of opinion.

From your experience or gut feeling, what do you think is my chance of getting ITA through the director (film and television)

Especially with the fact that:
1. I don't have a highly relevant education background
2. It's only nominated in two provinces and I only qualify for only one of the provinces (NA is asking for high point of 95. I can't get more than 75 from my calculation.

I have enough evidence to substantiate my self employed nature.

Cheers.

Your qualification (relevant or not relevant) is inconsequential after getting a positive assessment.

I am not DHA neither do I work with any of the state migration teams...the decision to proceed is up to you.

Thanks for your. Assistance. 09097620946

your BSc cannot assess with Vetassess. It's not equivalent to AQF Bachelor's degree

Good news for Vetassess and ACS Applicants.

https://www.iscah.com/important-change-work-experience-points/

We are waiting for official statement from these two bodies and DHA.

Zega:
Thanks so much man, I really appreciate this. I have been reading your replies to everyone back to the begining and I've already identified what could be likely problems.

My experience so far hasn't been with any particular company, at least not for long. It comprises years of freelance, years of contract based work. The payment are always in invoice format.

How can I package these things for the assessment. I figured the assessment is the first stumbling block.

Thanks once again.

Visit Vetassess website for the documents requirements for self employed. it's detailed and clear.

Hello Ogas In the house.

I'm at the very beginning stage of my PR adventure. I read mechanical engineering in school (b. Eng) but I have since abandoned it for filmmaking.

I noticed some States have film director( film and TV) on their job lists.

I really don't have any certificate in that line but I have verificable experience spanning years in film.

Can I still apply and what do I send to VENTASSES for assessment?

Help guys.

You can use your mechanical engineering degree to assess for the occupation (212312) even though it's not related. Most likely, more than 2 years will be deducted from your years of experience if your job descriptions are well aligned.

NSW and SA are currently nominating it; NSW requires a minimum of 5 years approved Vetassess experience while SA requires that you have 95 points (inclusive of 15 points for 491 visa).

You can check Vetassess website for all the documents you need to send and upload. You may also wish to try the Skill Assessment Support service on Vetassess website to know if your degree will surely fly.

Good luck.

MerryCoke:
Wow. What a great thread this is. I've spent the past one week reading through the threads and I went from a total novice to the point I can ask intelligent questions.


1. I studied Civil Engineering in UNIBEN. It's a five year course.

2. I've been working at a small private civil engineering firm since my graduation which totaled about 8 years of experience.

3. Since I'm 34 years of age, I plan to write PTE test till I achieve the maximum point of 20 to boost my score.

4. My question is: with all the credentials/limitations above, what job should I nominate for the best chance of getting ITA?



Thanks in anticipation.

Cc: tunlex01
bellong

Option 1: Civil Engineer with EA
Option 2: Civil Engineering Draftsperson with Vetassess

Both are available for nomination in several states, however with EA, you will get max points for experience if you have pension or tax for the 8 years while Vetassess will deduct at least 1 year experience which will drop your experience points.

kooolkunlex:
thank you tunlex01, sorry for disturbing. Do you think I stand a chance if I assess for Chemistry technician

You can't assess as a Chemist due to your degree. Your only option will be chemistry technician.

Have you gone through the tasks for the occupation?

Only NSW is nominating the occupation for 491 visa and requires at least 5 years experience.

Other states may nominate the occupation by July.

kooolkunlex:
Chemist is the related occupation

You can't assess as a Chemist due to your degree. Your only option will be chemistry technician.

blackbriar:
Lol......I wish just mere 70

and you are gunning for 189.... please dont sleep on a bicycle; look for a state nominating your occupation for 190 or 491

raibrahim:
@tunlex01. Please I need to speak with you. I need guidance on how to do my accessment. 09097620946

What guidance do you need?

beatmonster:
Thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate

Pls under additional point on this page https://myimmitracker.com/en/au/points SC491 has 15 points and SC190 has 5pts can you throw more light on this sir

The minimum score for ITA is 65, however states and DHA have different requirements for each occupation. While some occupations will get ITA with 65 points, some occupations would need over 85 or 90 to get ITA either from the state or the federal (DHA).

If you are applying for a 491 nomination, you will get 15 points in addition to your calculated points while 190 applicants with a successful nomination gets 5 points.

blackbriar:
yes i have done all that except nominatin, targeting 189 visa

Good...what's your points now? is it above 90?

lusco:
OK...tanks @Tunlex01but please which course do u advise for My MSc considering my first degree n experience n secondly course that will give me a better chance of qualication. Tanks as I await ur quick response.
Tanks again.

I'm not vast in that aspect. You can ask on the Australian and Canada student visa threads.

beatmonster:
Good morning beautiful people in the house. I checked the pr points calculator and I saw additional 10 points for STEM graduate and another additional 10points for singles. Does it mean that single and STEM graduate now have higher chances?

After selecting the option I got 85 points. Can 85points give me nomination?

STEM points is for applicants who studied in STEM courses in Australia.

Singles get 10 points automatically. It depends on other circumstances. If your spouse has competent English and a positive assessment, you also get the 10 points too.

blackbriar:
Not yet

You don't need police report until after you have gotten ITA and about to pay ofr visa. You can even upload it weeks or months after visa application.

I guess you have your assessment, English test result ready and have applied for nomination.

kooolkunlex:
I salute you all. Keep up the good work. Please question is know my chances of getting a possible PR.
I’m a graduate of industrial chemistry from Covenant University, with 5 relevant working experience, working as a scientific officer at state civil service. I am 30years old and I am single. IELTS 6.5 (6,6,7.5,7). Gurus in the house please help a brother.

I don't know what a scientific officer does, so I'd push you to visit Www.anzscosearch.com to check the occupation list to see the occupation you can nominate.

@tunlex01 and @bellong help a sister
Happy new year n tanks for all u are doing here.

Am a graduate of mass communication from Madonna university 4years course

Worked as a customer care rep for 1year

Sales/ marketing rep for 8years in a real estate firm and married. Currently sales/unit manger. I intend moving with my spouse n he is not a graduate.

Wat are my chances n do u think I can apply for sales or marketing even when my degree is not related. Or wat are ur tot.....tanks... Pls reply me

Apart from the degree, the University too won't help cos sales/marketing roles require Bachelors degree which Madonna Mass comm degree is not equivalent.
So I'd advise you process student visa, Canada or Australia.
