E Fam,
I greet you all.
I'm so happy I can't just contain it. Waking up to a mail from VETASSESS almost gives one a high BP as one is not sure of VETASSESS and their ways. However, lo and behold, it was POSITIVE.
Assessment lodged 11th August...
Positive outcome 26th September...that's about 6weeks and some days.
No Assessment officer contact, no request for additional or supporting documents...rather I was the one calling and mailing my assessment officer. It can only be God. To Jehovah belong all the glory and the honor and the power. The journey has just began. The hustle is real!! Special thanks to the Ochendo Gburugburu of this thread - Sir Chief Bellong for starting such a life changing thread as this with wonderful people and information.
Hordunayodt- a special brother from another mother. He gave me the strong heart needed.
Mamajaz- Mama like no other, I respect you Ma.
Teewhysafe- Wonderful couple, Jah bless your family.
Phlunteer- Kudos Mama, we'll meet in Aussie soon
SegunWamiri--- You're blessed brother, as you also embark on this thrilling journey.
Hosflex---May Jehovah bless you Sir.
Funbi---my partner in...Positive assessment also falls on you too soon.
And to my adopted uncle Jide, your ways are perfected already Sir.
I can't just recall everyone's name...please pardon. We're all great on this forum. Please accept my warm love and best wishes everyone.

OK I realised I missed this two posts.

I will be glad if you guys helped.

For you to put forward an assessment you can help too. Forgive my putting successful assessment.

There is no strict requirement. As posted earlier, I was expecting a pm from anyone that wants to help.

Anyone that has done a successful assessment with Vetasses can help as per d resume.

Thank you so much for the comments and opinions.

So sad about the Tier 2 thing of University of Ilorin ( i finished 2008) but all good.

I think i will work more on English, attempt PTE first then IELTS. My concern with getting 8 in writing for IELTS is my bad handwriting.

I ought to have done assessment for my wife, she can easily get positive result for Agricultural Scientist ( also from Unilorin but 5 year duration course; will this be Bachelors or Associate as well with regards the tier 2 class? but i'm a bit skeptical about the cost and from my calculation she can only get 60 points too. I plan to use her for last resort. Age- 30, degree( 15 or 10), Exp- 10 (graduated 2011) and partner 5pts.

Overall, it is cheaper for me to do PTE(52k) and IELTS(68k) than going for the Vetassess assessment for my wife (about 900aud + other costs of transcripts, looking at 300k)

Based on the report from ISCAH dot com, best bet is to hit 70 points.

Lastly, congratulations to all who just got their grants.

I pray i get mine too soon In sha Allah.

Hello Bellong and the Gurus,

I am new to this group, although i have been an on/off visitor to nairaland.

i appreciate the work you are doing here and only God can repay you guys.

I need support.

I have been battling with the PR process for a while but not with full focus.

I need all the help i can get to get the 189 PR for 263111 (Computer Network and Systems Engineer)

My story.

I did assessment with ACS 2014, it was positive but Bachelors compared to Associate Degree - Sent several mails to them and all but not no change so i was discouraged. I also did IELTS L8R7.5S7W6.

Fast forward to 2017

I got course outline from my school (University Of Ilorin), updated my references, did another assessment.

Result below

Your skills have been assessed to be suitable for migration under 263111 (Computer Network andSystems Engineer) of the ANZSCO Code.

Your qualification has been assessed as follows:

Your Bachelor of Computer Science from University of Ilorin completed May 2008 has been
assessed as comparable to an AQF Associate Degree with a major in computing.

The following employment after May 2012 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately skilled

I have about 11 years work experience ( 2 years before degree and others after), so the above only leaves me with 5 years experience.

I did IELTS again few months back, L8R9S7W7

So far i have 60 points ( Age-30, qual- 10, exp-10, Eng-10)

Where i need help and your support based on experience of the group.

- Is there a workaround towards getting my degree assessed as Bachelors? This will give me five more points for qualification and five for experience ( deduction from my employment history will be reduced)

- Should i do another IELTS or focus on PTE ( moreover, i have a bad handwriting and good in typing)?

- i am open to all, please help.

bellong:
@Teejah80,

Congratulations...

NT is not bad Na... Infact, there is more money in NT than Queensland..

I just did my second try with IELTS and i got L8R9W7S7 but i need total of 20 points.
Can you support with tips on PTE?

I will be glad

They have been of great support to me in my PR paroles.
I lodger my application to EA on the 11th of April this year,and the outcome came in early today 21st April 2016 I did the fast track one.I applied as a professional Engineer, but in the outcome letter, they said my qualification is equivalent to Engineering Technologist. And that my degree is equivalent to Australia Qualification Framework as bachelors degree. I want to know if this qualifies me to v the 15points.

I wrote IELTS last year, I had above the 6.0 band score but my score didn't fetch me points.however I did PTE jst last month on the 16th of match, result came out early the following day,17th march.
Listening 81
Reading 90
Speaking 84
Writing 80
As it is now, my total points accumulated
English test -20 points
Age-32----- 25 or 30 points,by end of November I wld b a year older, I really don't know which point to pick 25 or 30
Bachelors degree(elect/ elect engineering with telecommunications option--------- 15
Total points= 60 or 65 depending on age point
I want the dons in the house to clarify on the engineering technologist thing.
Thanks house..

Your current job description appears similar to the anzsco description. Buf is there a way you can restructure the wordings to almost match the anzsco description?

Also, click on the link I posted above. It is the acs requirements for that occupation i.e job description and university core modules needed.

Thanks for your response. I already did the restructuring for each phase of my work experience but i'm skeptical about posting the details here. I will be using it for my employment reference and its three pages long.

If there is a better means, i will send to you to vet.

bossladyMo:
Will get back to you in a bit...

Alright Thanks.

bossladyMo:
Your IELTS score won't generate any points for you. You need 7 and above to get points for English language skills. Your exp will get you 10pts though.

Your job description has to closely match the job description of your nominated occupation...not a 100% match, but at least 80%. That's why I asked you to paste your current job description, so I can see if it matches your nominated occupation.

See below the job profile. right now, i'm working on my writing. apart from having a bad handwriting, i need to up my essay skills too. hopefully my next attempt would be above 7 in all bands.
