How? To me, once you get a positive skills assessment, you are halfway done for the 189 visa.

Of course, a positive assessment gives you hope however 189 is most likely out of ones league now except you have Australian qualifications and have high scores like 85 and above.

Other options to consider are 190 and 491 visa subclass

jmanity:
Have any accountant been evaluated before? whats the process?

Check the websites of the 3 bodies assessing for Accountants and compare

CPA Australia
CAANZ
IPA

Bambizzle4k4556:
hello everyone.
please who recently applied for 189 visa?
I want to know if NYSC experience was added to form 80

You can add your NYSC experience to form 80 as long as it's within the last 10 years.

ham334488:
Can anyone post the link to check occupation sponsored by each state.
Please help a bro. and thanks in advance

Use www.anzscosearch.com/search

Chijiuba:
My ANZSCO code is 261399 which is software and application programmer, please will TRA also be able to assess it.

Most of the states are not sponsoring the occupation 261399.
You'll lose experience point due to your degree and may still not get nomination in time.

Your other option is to either nominate ICT Customer support officer or Hardware technician with TRA to be ahead.

Madonna university

okay. about 6 years will be deducted from your experience by ACS.

If possible, assess with TRA instead.

Chijiuba:
Thank you for your response, my Bsc is in computer science (10 years) and the PGD is in information technology (1 year). Occupation is Software developer. Kindly advice

I'd advise you do away with the PGD since it's a recent qualification. Most assessing bodies tend to approve only the years after the most recent qualification.

Which University awarded your Bsc?

ridoh:
My Occupation is Electrician.
CO requested for pay evidence, Vaccination Card and spouse English proficiency report.
Southern Inland Region of New South Wales

ridoh:

tmeg:
Please what of an individual who works alone like me, I dont have a registered company, I work alone as a builder and am paid in cash direct from clients who gave me jobs.
How do I tackle these issue of payslip

Your best bet is to register your business now as all the years your company was not registered cannot be used for this journey.

omabetter:
@tunlex01, I want to nominate telecommunication network engineer any advice?

You are good to go. If you also can go for trade occupations to be assessed by TRA, that will be better as the requirements for IT and Engineering professionals are not favourable in recent times.

tomifizi:
Good day guys. Sorry for the long post�I need to ask for the advice from anyone that applied for another visa type even when you have already submitted one earlier one. I intend to apply for a 190 visa although I’m awaiting a 489 visa grant that I submitted over 6months now. I tried creating a new immiaccount to begin this new visa application and submit afterwards.
I humbly request to ask these few questions
1) Should I have created a new immiaccount or still continued with the immiaccount of my almost completed 489 visa ?
2) from your past experiences, will my creating this new visa application start from the beginning as regards processing time? Or will DHA continue with the initial documentation of my 489 visa
3) Will I and my family have to do book another appointment for medicals?

1. You could have continued with the initial immiaccount.
2. Yes, processing time for each visa class are different. DHA will not continue. You could be lucky both applications will be treated together
3. you can select that you did medicals within the last 12 months and provide details of your e-medical while filling d form.

Note that if your 190 visa is granted before 489, then 190 becomes invalid and 489 becomes the valid visa.

Best of luck.

Bodacious1:
Hello,

I am currently in the process of conducting a skills assessment with the ACS. Must the employment reference letters be addressed to the ACS?

I am asking because I would prefer not to raise unnecessary questions (and do not want to use the statement of declaration route).

Would appreciate responses especially form anyone who has recently been assessed by the ACS. Thanks in advance.

No, it doesn't have to be addressed to ACS. You can use to Whom it may concern but ensure all the information requested is captured.

darelar:
That means one needs like 2m before he can embark on the process?

It's in phases and all the funds are not paid at once

rudyislife:

FreshBoss007:

Depends on several factors
Assessment - A$700-1000
English test - N47k - N75k (depends on the English test you write asides rewriting)
State nomination : A$200-800 (depends on the state or regional area)
Visa application : A$4,045 (for single applicant)
Medicals : N45k -N75k (depends on the hospital and nature of medical history)

omabetter:
Dear All,

Let me start by thanking you all for great contribution so far.I am very new to this platform.

I am in Australia on student visa. But I am in a confuse state and I need someone to lift up my spirit and give me good advice.

I have Diploma in Electrical/Electonics Engineering from Kwara Poly, bachelor's degree in physics/ Telecommunication from Federal University of Technology, Minna. I have worked as IT support officer for about 4 years. Currently studying masters degree in telecommunication engineering in Melbourne. What do you think is my best option for skill assessment between Engineer Australia and ACS? Please I need all your sincere opinion @boss Bellong and other gurus. Thanks.

Which occupation do you want to nominate?

ogbevireo:
For those who want to pay for PTE Academic at the official price in Nigeria, just use a Zenith Bank MasterCard. It is a seamless transaction.
Thanks to @Bamz who gave me the info.

Also, all Nigerian Bank cards authorised for international transactions can be used to make payment on PTE and other Australian websites.

REBEKITAB123:

I have my evaluation done by IQAS Master and I've also don my IELTS. please, what next am I suppose to do now? I am a lawyer by profession but works as a Sales Admin Manager.

Do you report to the MD of your organisation as the Sales Manager?

Quinhade:
Thank you for the clarification you please with me the link where you saw that OSU is classified as a tier 2 university.

I will share later when I have my laptop. I'm responding via my mobile phone. It's a paid service of about A$45 as at last year.
When you pay for it, you will see your university's AQF

All the states have similar clause in their requirements just decided to reference Victoria alone, Queensland required you to be living and working for at least 3months in a regional area.
https://migration.qld.gov.au/skilled-visa-options/im-working-queensland/

https://www.migration.tas.gov.au/skilled_migrants/skilled_regional

https://migration.wa.gov.au/services/skilled-migration-western-australia/state-nomination-requirements

NSW, Northern Territory and South Australia are yet to open/update their requirements for 491 and i am sure similar trend will be followed. The whole 491 visa of a thing tends to favour those that are onshore.

In my opinion, 491 is created to systematically push selected ppl to fill in the few available job opportunities in the regional areas as against the popular opinion that the floodgates of regional visa will be open when 491 was initially announced.

I'm quoting the choice of the word "ALL" which is not correct.
Even the QLD link you posted has offshore requirements
https://migration.qld.gov.au/skilled-visa-options/im-offshore/

This is the Tasmania occupation list...this list has many occupations with minimal requirements and not requiring job offers.
https://www.migration.tas.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0009/147267/Tasmanian_Skilled_Occupations_List_TSOL_2019-2020_Updated_18_Nov_2019.pdf

The Western Australia link you quoted also was about 190/489 which means the requirements for 491 have not been updated and based on the links below, WA will commence invitation from November 21 which does not require job offer for offshore candidates as long as your occupation is on the WOL.

https://migration.wa.gov.au/services/skilled-migration-western-australia/how-to-apply-for-state-nomination

@the bolded, I can only guess you have insider information on each state migration plans for 190/491 to be very sure of your comment.

The use of words like 'may' or 'might' will be preferable when you are speculating or stating words that are not verifiable.

While we wait for other states, some applicants have started their applications with TAS.

It will end in praise for all prospective applicants.

ridoh:
Personal income tax was paid in Jan 2019 to cover for those years.

Upload the tax document again. You can get a letter from the company to also substantiate your claim or do a letter of explanation stating that tax payment was made to cover the years and notarise it

Zi:
Hello everyone, pls I if apply for 10 EOIs, for instance, must I accept the first one that gives me an ITA?

If I do not accept the first ITA, does it affect the the result of the other pending EOIs?

No, you don't have to.
No it doesn't affect the result.

However, a bird in hand is worth thousand in the bush except you are sure of getting the other ITA(s)

DoDirtsLikeWorm:
The fact is that 85% of them do not want to nominate anybody for 491 as it stands now. Those that wants to nominate are putting difficult clauses.

85%..just want to know how you arrived at this please? Cos only TAS and VIC have released its list and there are still 6 other states yet to publish its requirements.
There are many occupations on the TSOL with minimal requirements as well.

bligs:
Each state with their own requirements for invitation, Victoria required you to have a job offer.
https://liveinmelbourne.vic.gov.au/migrate/skilled-migration-visas/491

Then let your info be explicit. I only quoted because you stated it as if all 491 requires job offer.

ridoh:
Hello House, I have a logged 489 VISA, CO contacted me yesterday for evidence of payment of my salary when employed at a company I am claiming a year from. I worked with this company between 2008 to 2010, I received by salary by hand, No pension, No payslip and Tax was not remmitted. I paid a three year Tax myself this year, any advice on what to do further?

Did you pay the tax for the year the CO is asking for evidence?

hartson:
Bros,I hope you know that there is a condition attached to 491 application.no application fee but must provide evidence of job offer.
As par your concern I have no clue.Seniors will direct you.

Where did you get this wrong info that one must provide evidence of job offer? Can you provide the link?

btsnm:
Elders in the house please help. While filling the new EOI for 491, I came across this. My spouse is a general practitioner which is also available on the skills list as mine. However, she does not have skills assessment yet. Should I leave it blank altogether or answer that she has a nominated occupation but with no skills assessment from their Australian medical council? It's confusing please.

It's okay as seen in the image. After submission, download the points and see if you were awarded points for the partner occupation. If yes, go back and change everything to No. If your weren't awarded any point, leave it as it is.
