What are your asking price for 20 & 40ft respectively?

uchman:
Thanks for your reply

I have been to Dubai more than 5 to 7 times on business trip
My business is a Ltd company on 6 months tax free period.

No,
I won't want to stay back, will only want to ship auto parts from there.

Let's talk. It's easier and cheaper to buy from Japan. I can link you up.

uchman:
Hello WestAfrican,

Is it easy getting Visiting or business visa as a Nigerian?

Either can be easy depending on your status. Do you have a good travel history? Do you have a successful business?

Upon arrival do you intend to remain in Australia?

You could get 3, 6 or 12months single or multiple entries. If you have a good portfolio and intend to stay, Business Innovation and Investment Program or Business Talent (132) Visa are the way to go.

Ayolachris:
OK...sorry about the ambiguity, I am in Nigeria currently. While my wife is in Australia. She has finished her 18 months program and applied for a 2yrs visa extension to do another program. She's still there while u am here. Thanks for ur interest . I appreciate.

Thanks for elucidating on that. Yes your wife can include you and your kids if any, as dependent family members

But also have it in mind that she may be required to show a proof of sufficient funds for all family members included on the application.

I suggest she includes you as a dependent, omits the SOA in her application. If requested by her CO she can then provide youse SOA.

Ayolachris:
Good evening and thanks for all the contributions in the house... It has helped a great deal to so many people.

PLEASE, WHO HAS AN IDEA OF HOW MUCH I NEED TO HAVE IN MY ACCOUNT BEFORE APPLYING FOR SUBSEQUENT ENTRANT VISA. I want to use my account dis time. I used mg step brothers statement last yr but was refused. So I want to reapply. My wife has finished her 18months program and we applied for 2yrs visa extension to do another post graduate in nursing. I want to apply again if the visa extension comes out...although they have called her for medicals. So I need to arrange my self for my application. Pls I need help so that I can start sourcing for funds. Thank you ...I love dis familu

Hi, your inquiry is a bit ambiguous. Are you able to rephrase your questions again?

Are youse in Australia?
Why do you need to reapply if your wife have been invited for medicals?

knick:
Good day guys, a great job in here. I greet you all. Please any one with information on schools offering Environmental Management and such related courses with ongoing admission? Thanks.

Good afternoon nairalanders.Pls,i intend to visit Australia through invite with my family then find a school and pay immediately we enter.How visible and possible is this? Hope it won't require us coming down to Nigeria again?

It's possible if you don't have a NO FURTHER STAY condition on your visa. The tricky part is getting a visitor Visa and gaining admission into a university. It may be a bit stressful trying to settle your family while pursuing admission etc except you have relatives here.

Not sure what your situation is but I will encourage you try applying from Nigeria

venus33:
please i need your help fellow nairalanders,
i am new here,i want to apply for australian student visa but i am having a probelm.
i studies religious and cultural studies but worked with an it firm for 2years now.
i want to aplly for masters of arts in griffith university but how do i reconcile the fact that am working in an it firm and now i want to do masters in arts
if i pick masters in information technology,my degree does not rhyme

Its normal for people to change career here, even universities and Tafes encourage it too.
Stick to your Masters in Arts, write a good statement of purpose and you will be fine. Take care.

Loloantho:
Pls anyone in UQ that can give me recommendation for accommodation suitable for a family of four
Very urgent

It's difficult finding an accommodation without first viewing the house.
In some cases you may be able to find private landlords or individuals renting their houses/room.

Like has been earlier advised, it's best you search for a place while you are here as photos atimes can be deceiving.

Succeeded:
Good evening. Is there anyone waiting for their visa. Mine is delaying. I'm supposed to resume 4th of march. I have sent a mail since Friday last week. What else can I do?

Hang in there. They know your resumption date. Grant could come a month after lectures has commenced.
If they are in doubt and need more time to asses you they will ask that you defy your admission and send them a new confirmation of enrollment.

tobadex1:
good morning all,
I av someone in Australia she want me to visit her for this Xmas , she's working on my visiting visa right now hoping to be out this week I did biometric in Lagos 2weeks what are my chances of getting the visa she's working everything out in Australia any interview again after the visa is out...house should enlight me I'm a novice

When did you lodge your application?

I'm yet to understand why most Nigerians fail to pay taxes and yet complain on the condition of the country. Am sorry to say but your reasons sound a bit dodgy to me.

Anyways, all you can do now is PRAY and HOPE.

Godspeed.

Someone has responded with the docs you need to present to your CO to carve their indulgence on your genuineness.

Does your company have documents used in applying for the change of business name back then or any form of communications with the registering body concerned?

Your best bet will be bank statements from your first pay day, middle pay periods and last pay. Also include payslips as well. Get them certified by Australian High Commission if you are in Abuja or a qualified Lawyer.

Again make sure your documents are from the original sources otherwise you face a 3-10yrs (if the 10yrs has been implemented) for providing bogus documents.

horlakay:
I lodged for visa on 25th of oct, 2018. I got a mail from correspondence that i did not meet (pic)4020. Stating that my work document...that is letter of appointment and letter of promotion in advance were bogus documents. And i av been given 28 days to prepare my defence...
I av later seen the fault, the company letter head on one of d letters has a missing alphabet....but this was due to the companys change of business name which was not successful then, but it has already reflected on my appointment letter...



Pls gurus in d house what is d way forward,

Some unis and organizations give Msc scholarship by research . If your'r considering to study by research.

You may also want to have a look at this url:

LadyHeaven:
Please fam, who knows any university that offers even partial scholarship for Msc? Been researching and searching to no avail.

I believe they have recently increased the quota for uploading documents. You may want to double check on that by logging into your immiaccount. Click on your application to see how many documents you have submitted

vikmeek:
OK sir .

I will certify them and reattach. I just hope there is a place to reattach more docs after application has been submitted.

You present the original documents for your lawyer or JP to site and confirm it is original, then they will photocopy and stamp it.

In Australia they have a list of occupations that can do it for you including teachers, engineers Doctors etc but I believe since you are overseas you may have to use a Lawyer or High Court.

vikmeek:
Pls quick one..

To certify the documents, it will be a photocopy of my certificate that I Will certify right?

And can any lawyer sign and stamp for using his seal..or must I take the documents to a high court?

Thanks as I await ur reply

If I was in your situation, I will either certify those documents rename (Certified Documents) and reattach them or I will just let it be and hope for the best.

Attach all your documents into one single PFD file and upload as other-documents on your immiaccount.

vikmeek:
OK..

But pls, since I have already submitted by application and paid, what can I do in this case..

Getting a lawyer to certify my documents won't be a problem cos my elder bro is one.

What do u advise I do, don't wanna leave any loop hole

It is recommended you certify your documents by a Lawyer, justice of peace or of you are in Abuja, you may want to ring Australian High Commission to see if they do it. I suppose they may charge you more.

Certifying your documents gives your case officer one less stress to worry about how genuine your documents are.

vikmeek:
Do u think not uploading court certified documents delays the decision on such applications?

Tiffany Trump is quietly dating a wealthy scion from Nigeria, one of the nations President Trump supposedly slammed as a “s - - thole country.”

Sources exclusively tell Page Six that Tiffany is seeing handsome Michael Boulos, who grew up in Lagos, where his well-connected family owns a multibillion-dollar conglomerate that trades in vehicles, equipment, retail and construction.

A source said Tiffany met London-based Boulos, whose family is of Lebanese origin, on vacation in Mykonos, Greece, this summer. Things have been going so well that law student Trump — who split from Ross Mechanic in the spring — even brought Boulos to the Trumps’ Mar-a-Lago for Thanksgiving.

A source told us, “Tiffany is happy she has so far been able to keep things with Michael under the radar. But she introduced him to her family at Thanksgiving, and he comes across as a very intelligent young man from a great family. There was no mention of the president’s unfortunate comment about African nations.”

Boulos attended an elite international school in Nigeria, and his brother Fares is an actor and rapper who performs as Farastafari. Their family founded Boulos Enterprises and the publicly traded conglomerate SCOA Nigeria.

Trump reportedly called El Salvador, Haiti and unspecified nations in Africa “s - - thole countries,” saying during a January meeting on immigration, “Why are we having all these people from s - - thole countries come here?”

Nigeria was outraged and responded by saying the comment was “deeply hurtful, offensive and unacceptable” if true, and demanded clarification from US officials.

Trump later denied using the derogatory phrase, but he admitted the language he had used at the Oval Office meeting was tough. He then described Nigeria as “beautiful” when meeting with its president, Muhammadu Buhari, in April, adding that he’d like to visit.

The Trump family and Michael Boulos didn’t respond to requests for comment.

It is recommended you do it just incase. If your school happen to waive it for you then that is fine, just support it with a letter from your university stating English as the medium of instruction.

LadyHeaven:
The school i am applying to doesn't require Ielts, do you mean its still advisable to do it because of immigration?

Good evening nairalanders.. ....im a fresh graduate, I studied philosophy, I'm 21 years old, will be 22 by next year, I'm planning on applying for nursing ,a bachelor's degree though, I felt I can't further for philosophy it might be a red flag, I have my waec From 2013,i hope when applying for the visa my years of waec till this current year might not be a problem? I need some advice if i can go for bsc, God bless you as u reply me

Check to see if your Major or something related to it is on SOL. If YES do apply for a master's program.

To start with, if your WAEC/NECO can get you Nursing admission in Australia then apply for a BSc in Nursing. You mau choose to state or not state in your SOP that you already have a degree in Philosophy but wish to change career. Also get your sponsor to write a letter saying they are in support of new career path and are happy to sponsor you.

If you do have an interview with your CO, asking what you have been doing in the interim of your graduation from High school. Ensure you tell them the truth.

Your visa may be granted or you could be ask to get a new ecoe from your school for next intake.

How about considering the vacant occupational list below?


Australia is among the most sought-after immigration destinations across the world with tens of thousands of people trying their luck to migrate down under every year as skilled migrants. While many skills are experiencing long queues of visa applicants, there are some that have found absolutely no takers at all.

Of the 190,000 permanent visas that Australia plans to issue every year, nearly 70 per cent is reserved for skilled migrants.

Under the skilled stream migration, prospective migrants are required to nominate an occupation from the relevant occupation list depending upon the kind of visa they apply for. For the skilled independent visa (subclass 189) - a permanent visa allowing indefinite stay and giving the freedom to live and work anywhere in Australia - all applicants file an expression of interest; and based on their points test score, the Department of Home Affairs then issues them an invite to apply for a visa.

This permanent visa has nearly 44,000 places reserved in Australia’s annual immigration planning.

Some occupations such as accountants and IT professionals are so popular that due to a high volume of applications, the Department has introduced pro-rata arrangements, whereas, in some other occupations, no invites were issued during the last financial year.

Cabinet makers
Out of the total 73 occupations that are subject to a ceiling, at least six were such that did not have a single invite issued in 2017-18.

[b]Wall and floor tilers, automotive electricians, electrical distribution trade workers, boat builders and shipwrights, precision metal trade workers and livestock farmers [/b]together account for 9,603 visa places.

Most in-demand jobs that can get you permanent residency in Australia

Australia's skilled migration program is designed to fill the skill gaps to meet the country's economic needs. However,shortages in some skills continue to persist.

Sheet metal trade workers, cabinet makers, glaziers, panel beaters and barristers and some health diagnostic and promotion professionals – together accounting for over 5,300 visa places – saw just one applicant receiving an invite for each of the six occupations.

Metal workers
Precision metal workers are in demand in Australia but no invites were issued for this occupation in 2017-18.

Chaman Preet from Migration and Education Experts in Melbourne says most visa applicants with trades occupations prefer to take other routes to Australian permanent residency.

“In order for subclass 189 visa applicants to succeed, they require relatively higher levels of English proficiency, work experience and educational qualifications. In most cases, applicants with these occupations would prefer a sponsored visa that would get them additional points to meet the minimum requirements,” she told SBS Punjabi.

Most of Ms Preet’s clients are from India – a country that’s currently the biggest source of permanent migrants and Australian citizens.

While it can be an express route to permanent residency for applicants with the necessary skills, experience and English proficiency, Ms Preet says some occupations are more popular than others among Indian migrants.

“The choice of occupations depends on the ease of doing the course and then the ability of the students to find an employer because most of them would look to gain post-study work experience and then employer sponsorships to make up for any gap in the points requirement,” Ms Preet said.

SBS Punjabi earlier reported on the most in-demand occupations that can get applicants permanent residency without the need of a sponsoring state or an employer.

Good thing is, in Australia there is equal opportunities for all genders although their could be a bit of difference in salaries.

Here is a url search for civil engineering jobs
https://www.seek.com.au/civil-engineer-jobs . There are plenty more out there you can look up yourself.

I couldn't advise on what school to study. There are plenty of campuses out there. So depends on which campus is closer to where there are jobs opportunities thats what I do be going for.
This url will help you in search of uni, tuition fees, course duration and who to contact.

LadyHeaven:
Actually it's Civil engineering Sir West, please what's the scope of female Civil engineers over there? Can you advice me on schools/state better for such degrees? i was considering Deakin or Griffith

First to qualify for either a Temporary Graduate Visa 485 or Skilled Recognised Graduate 476 (Mainly for Engineering study) you need to have studied in Australia for 2yrs and over.
Most universities now offer 1 - 1.5yrs master programs which makes it a bit daunting to remain in Australia after studies. So you need to search out for Unis that offer 2yr program in your course of choice.

If I were you, I would pursue course related to my first degree as it makes it much either to gain admission plus secure a visa. In either ways, you still need to write a strong statement of purpose so as to convince your case officer why you are having a bit of change in career path.

Changing a course with same school shouldn't be much of a problem in your situation, since there is a bit of similarities in courses offered. And I doubt you will have to reapply for a new visa in such case but again school will have to notify immigration. Problem is when you intend to change program or school completely then you are required to make a fresh application only after 6months when you initial course has commenced.

I don't know what aspect of engineering you specialize in but am sure their are heaps of work opportunities for engineers in Australia.

hi guys, please i would really appreciate feedback from those who know better, i intend to go for an msc degree in IT(network security) but the agent advised that i stick to my ist degree, I have 3year work experience in IT but no certifications to show, is it possible to switch courses once there? my ist degree is in engineering.

It's vital go get it right at the beginning and I have always been an advocate for that but the fact remains that not all cases are the same. Individual circumstances differs and we must put that into consideration.

I read where he has been adviced by several folks here to apply for a school in Sydney but he still insisted to going to Wollongong for reasons best known to him. Not everyone who gained admission into Universities in Sydney secured their visas and not everyone who went to Wollongong had to commute to Sydney for work. He may have gone through hell getting admitted or the process may have been easy for him, we don't know. Some were lucky to find a job in Wollongong and are happy living there while others had to travel to Sydney or live there cos of the sort of work they wish to do.

When giving advice/advise we need to show people both sides of the coin. I don't really have time to share a story of a 12yrs old i adopted here. May be we need more experience in life to realise why we need to allow people make decisions for themselves.

I commuted to Sydney not because there were no jobs in Newy but because the job i enjoyed doing was in Sydney and I couldn't live in Sydney because of the sort of housing and the cost.

The pros and cons of Tasmania are these:

Pros:
Easy to gain admission into University

Accommodation, transport, food are cheaper over there

Eligible for state sponsored visa after your study

Less traffic

Loads of beautiful places to visit cum holiday.

Cons:
Hard to find a job as you habe to compete with people who have recently migrated there.

Can be very cold

My friend who has been in Australia for 6yrs is yet to secure his PR so he went there, found a job and how has an invitation for state sponsored visa. His eligibility came after living and working for 6months as the criteria changed at the end of the 3rd month it used to be.

So yeah finding a job can be difficult unless you don't mind working in the farms as there are heaps of farm work.

Like i said earlier if you are looking at getting into the country first then going there or to Northern territory are better options as the present government is happy for people to migrate there.

This is one of the biggest job sites in Australia have a peek and see if you qualify for the jobs listed therein.
