bolaobby:
Here is my timeline

2 November 2016 - ACS Skill Assessment Submitted
15 November 2016 - Positive ACS Skills Assessment Result
5 December 2016 - Wrote PTE
11 December 2016 - EOI Submitted with 65 points
14 February 2017 - ITA Received
20 February 2017 - Medicals and PCC
28 February 2017 - Visa lodged with all documents frontloaded
10 March 2017 - Direct Grant with IED 20 February 2018

Visa granted to me, my wife and our two sons.

I want to thank all those who made this possible starting with my first post on this forum asking for advice whether to make payment for a master's programme or wait for ITA.

Thanks to you all...it has being a wonderful experience bonding with you all here.

Congrats bro. Wow! Its raining grants here every day.

sunvick:
Even State nomination bro is not even guaranteed.
NSW said it better "See State Nomination as a possibility and not a guarantee"

I laughed when I read that part!!!

So @Springyng. If you get ITA then PR its a guarantee.

Calm down bros. Getting ITA does not mean PR is a guarantee. If your documents don't check out, DIBP fit still bounce you o

jamson:


Na my good news ooooo

Ok folks....

Grant have shele!!!!

Just seeing this now!!
Correct!!!!!!!! Jamson baba!! Congrats big time my oga. God don answer our prayer. He that watereth shall be watered also himself. You have been of great help to many on this forum and you have finally received yours. This is just the beginning of great things for you. You will prosper in the land of Oz. You will come into your own in the new land.

I dey call you asap make I share the joy with you and tap into the 189 anointing!

sunvick:
I nominated System Analyst, and it has been on pro-rota. The worst part is that the date of effect is not even moving an inch.

If that's the case, quickly submit another EOI for 190 on NSW. Maybe that one fit click on time. But make sure you have all documents and application fee ready as NSW will only give you two weeks to apply for nomination if they invite you. No dulling bros.

sunvick:
Thanks for the insight Buddy. Which means us with 55 points will be waiting along time!!!!

Depends on your profession and the state nominating you. The best thing is to have as much points as possible.

All the best

Wwwe:
Bros, what strategy did you apply? Pls help

Some guys on this forum (jamson and some other guy) said that one should watch all Youtube videos by navjot brar. The teacher is an Indian woman with a heavy accent but don't let that worry you. Just pay attention to what she says and practise them. Omo you go blast PTE . Her videos worked for me big time.
Here are some links where she gave tips on how to pass the Speaking module because that's the part that is generally most problematic.

Then download and use this PTE practice software to give you an experience of the real deal.

Do all this and come share your testimony here

bellong:
Congratulations... I personally believe IELTS and TOEFL are easier than PTE. Though I have not done PTE before but I prefer to interact with human than a coded robot..

You may prefer to deal with a human than a coded robot, but in my opinion it is far easier to fool a coded robot than a human being. In my 1st attempt at PTE, I used some strategies to score 78 on Speaking even though I was speaking nonsense some of the time. However I cannot try that with a human being

diggy4real:
With what point pls?

With 65 points (adding 5 points from the prospective state nomination making it 70 points in total)

sunvick:
Please folks, has anyone gotten nomination recently from NSW? Kindly share the date you applied and how long it took to get invite for nomination please.

Cheers

@ mamajaz==> President General Australian Immigration Commission, Nigerian Branch.

You no go kill person with your humour!!!

I submitted EOI for NSW sometime in January and got an ITA less than two weeks later. Had to bust it though to wait for my 189 ITA

bellong:
ACCOMMODATION

Wow! Thank you bellong. An eye opener indeed.

Na wa o. This Australia cost sha.. Imagine paying $300 a week. That's $1200 a month. Plus the bond money making it $2,400. That's almost a million naira every month

Bellong, abeg are there any benefits that the Australian govt pays new unemployed migrants to ease this initial financial stress pending when one gets a job? No be beans o!

Nwokeomajayb:
I'm in Australia(Sydney) with a study visa. But I want to process my pr asap.
Age 29 but will be 30 this year
1st degree electrical electronics eng
5 years experience
English test not yet
My problem is how'll I start the processing in Australia. What Doc exactly do I need to provide?
That's why I said I need a guider who can just tell me start like this then I'll kick it from there.

@Nwokeomajayb, that you are currently studying in Australia does not make the PR process any different from those of us still here in Nigeria. It would only make a difference if you can complete your Australian studies. In that case you could get an additional 5 points for Australian Study requirement.
Just go ahead and start the process as advised by others

adesolami36:
I replied your pm already

Hello adesolami36, I just sent you a pm now. Thanks

bellong:
TAX AND TAX RETURNS

Thanks for sharing oga Bellong (pls forgive me for adding 'oga'. It was a reflex action )

I will pm you an alternative way for sharing documents online as this platform is very restrictive in terms of file size.

iriferi:
Offering to offer someone 18.181% increase and tagging it "help" is pure evil. And I will not sit down and read it and you expect me to swallow it hook, line and sinker.
This right here is the problem we have in Nigeria. While others are trading their dollar at a not so reasonable (but manageable) rate of 330/335, someone from somewhere just comes and increase it to 390 and you said we should see it as "help". My brother "Fear God."
Yes I am a student here in Australia, but I don't have dollar to sell and even if I do, I won't sell it at that rate.
It is better if I don't have the dollar to sell, than for me to have it and put a tag of 390/AUD and still make you see it as help.
Bro, there is nothing like help in that. Let's stop painting evil as good just because we're in a time of trouble.
The will of God will never take you,
Where the grace of God cannot keep you.
Where the arms of God cannot support you,
Where the riches of God cannot supply your needs,
Where the power of God cannot endow you.
Thank you!

See wetin Buhari cause now! It have do oo!

EOI submitted 7/1/2017
65 points
Mechanical & Indutrial engineer.

Still awaiting ITA. I'm getting really impatient. Na wa o

You have to step up your game fast. From the last draw http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Skil/1-february-2017-round-results you can see that Mech Engrs have been waiting on the queue since 2nd November 2016. From two previous draws before http://www.border.gov.au/WorkinginAustralia/Pages/18-january-2017-round-results.aspx you will see that the date of effect for Mech engrs is 1st Nov. So the queue has progressed by one day only! That tells you that you that applied Jan this year have no hope unless you can increase it to 70 points before the next draw as there are only 157 slots left in the current programme year for Mech engrs.

incemay:
Yes they do.

Thanks

Hello house,
I was told that I can get a yellow fever vaccine shot and the card at Port Health close to the Intl airport, Lagos. Does anyone know if they open on Saturdays or only on weekdays?

Bnimz you don submit already! Badass!

bolaobby:
Thank you all for the good advice. The wait really worth it. Am sure that the money will pay for my application and family. The advice to wait was decisive at the time of my confusion. Really appreciate all.

Is there a way i can know the exact amount i have to pay without starting the application now. I want to get my medical done on Monday before starting the application.

The application is for me and my wife with 2 kids (6yrs and 3yrs)

Exact amount to pay for what? Your visa application or your medicals?
