What if his spouse doesn't have her occupation in the same nominated occupation as his?

My profile:
Age 30 points
Education: 15 points
English: 20 points.
Total: 65 points.
I guess state nomination is my only option. Any advice on states to target.

234ng44uk:
Thanks, that was helpful.

Good day house

[color=#000099][/color]Am I going to upload my transcript in PDF format or ask my school to send to ACS directly?

Dear friends,

I have finally made payment for my flight to Adel aide but I have question, IOM mentioned in their mail that what they gave me is an "estimated quite", so does it mean they would refund me if final amount is less than what I paid?

funkyjo:
Happy New Month Everyone.... May this month bring us and ours all our heart desires. God will cause us to win and laugh all through the month.

@vinsmuft...really sorry about your result. IMO and from research i did then when I was seriously considering a remark, I'll say you should just let it be. I was able to find only one person from a forum (I don't remember now) who actually had a rescore for just one point too. He said in a few hours, he got the exact same results. I'll advise you do more research into the speaking section and retake the test instead. A few tips I used to improve my score was that I didn't correct myself even when I said something wrong, ensure you give a conclusion at the end of every diagram. Those were the few things I did differently the second time..I wish you the best

bolaobby:
Yeeeeaaaaa!!! why now. Is PTE also joining IELTS scam? This is really painful.

I took the exam for the second time yesterday to improve my point to 75. I got the result this morning too, it wasn't as close as yours.

Please, don't be discourage, keep pushing. It is well.

40manlappy:
@Vinsmuft

I know that feeling, sorry

I believe that you are almost there.

teewhysafe:
Eyaa. Can be painful. I know cos I have been there twice infact. Sorry about this.
Seems u have to take PTE two to three to even four times to get desired outcome.. Scammers...

Bnimz:
The thread has 154 pages sir. that is as comprehensive an archive as anyone can wish for.. kindly go through all the posts starting from page 0. almost all possible questions have been asked and answered

Declan16:
Thanks @Vinsmuft. Just to clarify, is the IELTS test required the general training version?

Declan16:
Please I would like to clarify some facts about the Australian PR process, as I am interested in applying for subclass 189 this year.

I have a BSc in Computer Science (2012) and an MSc in the same field (2014). I have 24 months work experience till date (14 months before MSc and 10 months as at today), all as an IT analyst. Age: 30 points. My nominated occupation will be Systems Analyst.

Please what are my chances for getting a positive assessment from ACS? In addition, do I need to take an English language exam before submitting my credentials for assessment?

I am not sure I will receive any points for work experience from ACS so I intend to get 20 points from English language skills.

Thanks.

bolaobby:
I have a little issue and i want anyone that can help with a response.

My job title read SYSTEM ANALYST on my employment letter and promotion letters but my job role is that of a network Engineer with CCIE certification.

I got my head of unit to write the employment reference letter that i used for my assessment with ACS with the job tittle NETWORK ENGINEER and the result was positive.

Am waiting for ITA but my concern is at the time of lodgement of visa application. Since my employment and promotion letters has SYSTEM ANALYST, wouldn't that be an issue.

Am also trying to get one of the senior managers in admin to write another reference letter that i can use for the visa application in case they want to verify my employment reference letter but am so sure that the job title will be the one that is on my employment letter “SYSTEM ANALYST”.

I need answer

aceBlazer:
@ Bnimz & Jamson...all other useful inputs also appreciated
Pls I need to be cleared on something...At what point exactly do you need to tender maximum points of 65 or 70 as the case may be? From comments here, it seems like you don't need maximum points especially from English tests, for the first stage of the skill assessment. Pls I need urgent responses... cheers folks.

nkechima:
I know how it feels sis but see it as cobweb alongside your success story..
Here is my OZ story so far
I started the journey sometimes in 2013 with student visa, along the line I missed my footsteps and was given a three year ban because I gave false and misleading document. When i saw the outcome of my visa application, I knew I was in a big mess, I felt bad and poured the anger on my partner cos he encouraged the false document. I was down for months because I couldn't believe myself. The truth remains that I was part of that decision whether I like it or not because I took the final step. I was broken into piece but did I give up my dreams because I made a mistake in my first attempt? The answer is no!!!!!!!!!! I don't want to dwell in my past mistake and use it as an excuse for......... I can only give up when He "God" is not part of my dreams.
So, put your self together and match on, you are almost there ...... Just one more step Sis

Alphadoor:
Is it possible and advisable to front load medicals even before assessment result is out.

Am asking because it's likely a "bun in the oven" story might enter the equation before EOI.

I like to factor in all variables when I make my calculations.

...... thank you house

For all those asking for options to pay here is the only one available from Banks :

1.Get a USD Prepaid Card from the Bank and load with dollars bought from the black market (a bit expensive but still better than none).
The card usually is like USD 20 while you pay an annual fee of USD18. Stanbic IBTC has that and it works .

2. Open a dorm account with your Bank and ask for a USD Debit Card -Still the same process. You will have to fund the account from the Black market.

That is the ONLY option available if you don't have anyone to help you from "the abroad".

kayzat:
I am Yoruba but its not true that we kneel down when someone in position of authority is addressing . People condemned GEJ when one Ambassador Tafilda or whatever his name knelt down to brief Jonathan now that slave mentality is happening in the house of the lord.


Pastor Adeboye is not God and this practice is highly unnecessary.

buygala:
That's what they call uneccesary arselicking.....Get that right

Bowing a bit while greeting an elder is expected... but being on knees while being addressed? .....when it's not like I am before the gods of my forefathers

Even Jesus' disciples didn't speak to him on their knees

Since you are suddenly so 'respectful', when last did you have a lengthy discussion with your mum, who carried you in her belly and gave birth to you, while on your knees?

trastar:
Lol.
But if it's general knowledge that Universities in Nigeria don't send original copies to individuals, wouldn't that make them question how I got it in the first place?

I know I'm over analyzing but I like to tie all loose ends.
Nigeria Universities are mega-annoying.

trastar:
I keep reading conflicting information here about Transcript.

Nigerian universities don't send transcripts to individuals.
You have to upload scanned copy of your transcript on ACS yourself and not to be sent by the university.

I have arranged with ETx to get the transcript from Babcock, however. They said the copy I can be given is going to be stamped with "personal copy" and it's not for official purpose. They only send "official copy" to institutions or organizations...and since acs requires me to upload a scanned copy myself...I want to ask...
Can I use that copy stamped with "personal copy"?
Anyone had this issue?

I know I can just put an institution or organizations address to get official copy but...
Pls help.

bolaobby:
1. As regards the transcript, you have to get it from your institution, make photocopy of it and take it to High Court to get it certified. It is the certified copy that you have to scan and upload to ACS not to be sent by your institution to them.

2. On MCIPT, i sent the one i have along with my cisco certifications but the case officer asked for the transcript of the Microsoft. I have to ask him to assess other certificate when i couldn't access my Microsoft portal. If you include it as part of your credentials and they need any clarification, you will get a mail form the assessor.

3. On the employment, i think statutory will do but if you have any other document to back up your employment history, its not a bad idea. I only send employment reference letter and nothing else in my own case.

Hope this will help
