Snillous: Hello, I applied Australia visa last year December. To my surprised I got denied and they stated "They are satisfied with my document and bank statement but they consider the crash economy in my country NIGERIA and our insecurity too" so if they grant me visa I may decide not to exit Australia again. That was the reason of my denial this Jan 2025. What can I do next? I need advice because I'm not really satisfy with the reason of my visa rejection. Thank you So this people already know what's going on in Nigeria. |

DrAkpamudehe: I guess op and his wife have very special talents and grace compared to the thousands of international students in Australia who studied a non-priority course as accounting like them and havent gotten invited yet. God is great 😃 Bro. No special talent. It is just the grace of God. |

Jokerman: You are right my brother.
If Nigeria was a serious country, who go travel go do 2nd hand job??
And to think that such 2nd job pays better than a 1st class job in Naija, why the bros no go celebrate PR?
Nigerian politicians don't deserve peace There is no second hand job abroad. It is only in black Africa you have second hand jobs. |

Shine1177: Congratulations 🎊
In your previous thread you said "One dark side to moving abroad is that you have more chances of being divorced by your wife. This is a story for another day as I have gathered enough reason on why families divorce and will create a thread on this someday." when will you be creating this thread? I will create this thread before Sunday this week. Watch out for it. |

Oluwomonext212: Yea, just curious. But if they give PR in 13 months that’s so kind of them. To get the full gist, go read my story. Many people on this forum personally knows me while in Nigeria. Some are even my colleagues in the last company I worked to leaving Nigeria. |

Oluwomonext212: Thanks for sharing. I’m just curious, does 186 visa gives immediate PR or comes with a certain number of year you must work to earn one ? Just like United Kingdom, you need to work for an employer for a minimum of 5yrs to be entitled to PR, and I think 3yrs for Canada. So if Australia gives immediate PR with a skilled work visa, that is so kind of them. Visa sub class 186 is employer sponsored. There are different employer sponsored visa but they give temporary status but a step toward PR. But 186 is PR. |

The next in line is citizenship that comes after 4 years. |

franchasofficia: In as much as this sounds like a good news, we Nigerians need to do better by avoiding posting topics like this online, we are indirectly telling these countries that Nigerians are desperate to leave Nigeria and that obtaining their PR or passports is more than a breakthrough and dream come true for us, thereby making things more difficult for those coming behind us.
We really need to do better than all these sharing of unnecessary travel information.

Akpaamunsi: Good question from an intelligent Nigerian. He said his wife was a student as at July 2023 for a 2yr course. By 2025 January 20, Dem done get 186 pr visa. The story get k-leg sha and the numbers are not making sense. Cos I know u have to work for a sponsoring employer for 2yrs or most times even more before they sponsor you for 186. Well, maybe the wife has some unique skills and qualifications that gave her the opportunity to get employer sponsorship so fast while on student visa. But people should not be deceived that it is this easy. There are thousands of people on student visa on Australia even as far back as 2015 who haven't been able to convert to a P.R pathway.
But congratulations if he is saying the truth. Doubting Thomas, go read my story. My wife came to Australia in December 2021. She got an accounting job in June 2022. Her employers opted to sponsor her in November 2022. The agreement was that from the time we get our PR, she will be with them for 2 year. Wify has already been with them for over 2 years, but the agreement is from the time our PR is granted. The PR has been granted and she has to stay for two years. She can decide to work for them as much as she likes. If she decides to leave before two year, we will refund the visa expenses incurred by the company. I don't have to prove anything to you. |

I did my national youth service in 2002. I completed the program in December 2002 in Taraba State. I served in state primary education board then.
I got my first job in May 2003 and my starting salary was 15,000 naira only.
Fast forward to July 2022, my salary was 1,013,000 naira net per month. I was on this salary up till December 2023 when I left Nigeria for Australia where I currently reside.
How did I grow my salary from 15,000 in 2003 to over a million net per month in 2022?
1) Don't work for a company for too long. Working for a company for more than 5 years is a waste if time
2. Keep developing yourself. Extremely important.
3. Be good at what you do.
4. From the day you resume in a company, start planning when to quit.
5. Again, ensure you're good at what you do. I don't mean speaking big grammar with Queens English. I mean, understand the nitty gritty of your chosen career.
6. Whenever I negotiate salary, I always negotiate net. I don't negotiate gross. I leave your HR to determine that. They way I will answer your questions during interview specifying clearly what I will achieve within the first 6 months, will make you appoint me. |

Originalsly: If a husband wants to take his salary to the betting parlour... would you advise him to and give examples of people who did and hit it big? If not ...why not? Your analogy is unrelated. We are talking about humans and not gambling. There are many women that stood beside their husband irrespective of the circumstance. If you are afraid of losing your wife abroad, that means trust is dead in your marriage. A women that will leave you after coming abroad, will continue to cheat on you in Nigeria. I rather that my wife leaves me when she goes abroad than pretend to love and cheat on me while in Nigeria. There are still good women out there. My queen is a living example. |
