What year was this?

I'm aware of the office at Teleperformance, Ikeja.. Saw it in the same building where they process UK visas.. But I didn't know this new piece of information..

Abeg let those that have paid their visa fees and did their biometric tell us how they went about the payment. This info is critical

Belong, I appreciate all your contributions so far, you are doing a great job here, God bless you Sir.
Please kindly advise:
I had a Bachelor's degree in Sociology, ATS Certificate(ICAN), and later M Sc Banking & Finance as I had most of my career in Banking. I first worked in Bank for 3 years as Cash Officer and was retrench end during the Tsunami. Thereafter, I worked with a private company as an Internal Auditor for solid 3 years after which I rejoined Banking again until now. I wish to do Assessment as an Internal Auditor, am I qualified? Do I have a little chance to apply as Internal Auditor with all of this I have said? The former bank I I worked before has been acquired by another Bank. Can I also claim my banking experience to add to the ones as Internal Auditor as banks do not usually write on the offer letter the position but GRADE? Also, will my certificates all together qualify me as an Internal Auditor? I wish to know all of this before I begin the process.
I would very much appreciate your opinion.
Thanks.

Thnks alot my brother...i will keep sourcing for funds to kick start d progress....God will gt me to aussie latest july....#smiles

Bnimz:


I included my masters, and I never finish am yet. At the time I submitted only a partial transcript containing first semester results sef... Nobody complained, so, yes, you for include am...

However,, nothing spoil at all... Putting it in your EOI is fine.. E no concern anybody either way since it doesn't add points...

In this process it just pays to be consistent so that if something crops up, one can fully defend it. That is all..

I'll include it then.
Thanks.

Bellong and other Gurus,

What is your specifications

I get them plenty, can dash you one.



@Damoche64,

If you have the experience, to avoid complicating issues, just assess it. Though it is possible to assess without assessing your experience but you wouldn't declare you have no experience.

As per your wife and children, the best bet is to look for the money and get it done with. Spouse visa takes time and you may end up regretting not applying together.

In addition, I don't support leaving family behind. Where the snail goes, the shell must follow. What God has joined together, let no DIBP or application fee put a temporary separation.

May financial doors be opened unto you.

Goodluck not Jonathan ooo..

@Bumpypat,

How old are you? You can't go with her as a dependent even when it was permitted as you are now an adult..

Engineers have it very easy compared to other occupations. Start your own process now and let your sister carry her own cross.[/quote]

I believe he applied for student visa when teleperformance was still handling the application processing to Pretoria.

Teleperformance does only biometrics now for temporary visa applicants and no longer involved in the application. So your friend only told you part of the story.

PR applicants don't do biometrics... Teleperformance don't handle any of the PR process. In essence, paying in Naira is not possible at this stage.

@Canadianboy,

If the occupantion is assessed by VETASSES, don't disturb yourself. Look for a similar Occupation assessed by another body and jettison VETASSES.
Maybe external auditor with CA

Vinsmuft:


My guy has been in Australia for about a year now. So I can safely say he got his visa in 2015. He told me that they would tell you how to make payment (local account transfer, cheque etc). But the main thing was that he paid in naira

I beg, can you help to get the details about this info. Need serious confirmation ooooo

Thanks Belong for your response. However, if I may ask, with my ATS certificate together with my MSc Banking & Finance, and B.Sc Sociology, can I qualify as an External Auditor, because I would have preferred to choose External Auditor? Thanks.

Good day house

I really want to appreciate those (Bellong et al) who have created this thread and also contributed highly relevant information to educate people like me on the steps towards obtaining PR through skilled migration. I have taken time to go through the pages of this thread right from pg 1, and have really learnt a lot. i have kick-started and really want to move at an express speed if possible due to various reasons like, skill migration policies changing, occupation ceiling getting filled up (like electronic engr) and so on.

Please, i need experts in the house (especially those already assessed by Engineer Australia) to help clear my doubt on if student's copy of an academic transcript or an official copy i got through a previous employer is accepted by EA?, as i very well know that some other assessing bodies don't accept, i equally know that requirement varies with different assessing bodies, hence the question as stated above. i have gone through the MSA booklet it only states that a complete and official transcript should be uploaded.

Thank you all in anticipation for the response.

Haba!! But you said you have gone through the thread from page 1.

Ok oo. EA accepts your student's copy, the original submitted to an employer is equally accepted (that's what I used)

jamson:

Lol. I have actually gone thru, i read a page where some one said student copy was rejected for Vetasses. Maybe i got it mixed up. Thanks so much. That was very valuable.

Emmabogs:

VETASSESS is a very strict, bureaucratic and dogmatic body. I used Student Copy of bachelors transcript for EA.. , nobody complained... I submitted letter of enrollment for masters instead of certificate, and submitted partial transcript of only first semester.. Nobody complained..

Vetasses gan, their own too much.

@Bnimz, mamajaz

VETASSESS wahala is "four" much sef.

During the holiday, I used the Nairaland "search" feature to check mentions for VETASSESS and it brought out 20 pages.

Come and see lamentations upon lamentations. That body no try at all.

However, reading through the entire 20 pages gave me some insights which would be useful should I go ahead with the assessment .

Thanks Dear,

Didnt get your PM oo.You shall overcome PTE as well

mamajaz:

Weldone sister, one shall put a thousand to run, but two shall put billions to flight. Your testimonies will soon be sure... I so salute your doggedness, and my respect swells up for your husband.

damien83:
@Bellong Please I need your advice on a situation. My bachelor degree in Business Admin(2.1) from Uniben was assessed as an associate degree by VETASSESS. So my question, Is a Nigerian bachelor degree assessed or equivalent to an associate degree in Australia? If no, what might have gone wrong in my case? Should I appeal the assessment. Will appreciate your feedback.

Please how did you get your transcript from Uniben and how long did it take?

Cecegal:
Thanks Dear,

Amen my sister. I have sent it oh.

bro please, share the info...

bellong:
^^^^ your wife does not have to sit for another. That of last year can be used.

Hi Bellong,

sorry to take you guys back a bit, if i am the principal applicant and i can rake in required point to get ITA, does my wife still need to write IELTS?

Oga bellong and other amiable landlords on this group, i hail oo
Thanks for all the support you have been giving people so far on this platform, may God bless you all abundantly amen.
I went back to reading the thread again, this our profession is really giving tough time. All medical doctors here can relate. I saw where bellong advised someone, tony....., cant recall d name well about having to write the AMC first stage before getting a temporary work permit in australia. Toor, we are too broke for that, exam fee, flight and other expenses to SA or egypt where the exam can be taken.
We decided to go with the primary health organisation manager, assessed by vetassess, no specialisation required, no minimum requirement required. Though we wld go with the skill assessment support first inorder not to waste precious money on the skill assessment proper. We wld do that by GOD's grace January.
I wld need all the supports from you all .
Work in a general hospital and also a private hospital (PP) simulttaneously(work in the private hospital 4pm - 10pm daily + weekends.
Can i claim that the private hospital is a private primary health center/organisation/hospital?
I have 4 years work experience ( including housemanship done in a teachung hospital, during my service year, worked as d only doctor in a newly built hralth center in that village, and then since den my present job)
Please house, what are my chances? What are the likely challenges i can stumble upon in my journey?
Age - 30 points
I would definitely adjust my cv to be in line with that of the primary health organisation manager. In the private hospital where i work, we are just 2 doctors that work there and oversee all activities, the other doctor covers 8am-4pm

I wish i can get a positive assesment so as to be a point of contact for medical doctors, just like the engineers in the house. Please help so i dont make any mistake. Thanks.

To my Oga in the house,

I need clarification as regards the family information in the form 80, Parent and Sibling section. Is it necessary to fill in the information because i read somewhere where someone filled in the info and a request was made for parent medical examination.

As regards my parent, both are deceased but i have siblings. Can i fill their details without incurring additional cost for medical examination because am only preparing for my immediate family.

@Bigfido

Your wife only need English test if she can't get a letter from her university in support of language competence.

If you have the required points, you don't need any point from her.

@yody,

Yes you can nominate PHM or Medical Administrator. However, you need to read VETASSES' instructions for the two occupations. I once attached a document from VETASSES here which has further information about all occupations assessed by the body.

I am very sure, your degree will be assessed positively, where you may need to work on is how to convince them on the experience.

Once you land, waste no time in passing the AMC exam. Practising as a doctor is a gold mine. Unfortunately, my brain is too active to go back and study medicine..

@bolaobby,

In the form 80 and 1221, you must fill in the information of all your siblings. You wouldn't have to do their medicals except you want to add them as dependents.

When I submitted my application, I added some family members as dependents not traveling with me but DIBP crossed them all out themselves. No medicals requested for any of them.

bolaobby:
but i have siblings. Can i fill their details without incurring additional cost for medical examination

The section asks, "migrating with you" ? Remember to tick NO...

Also make sure your Question 46 is NO...

damoche64:
Hi Ogas in d house, Av been reading d thread 4 sometimes now & I av d following questions. Is it possible not to assess experience with EA but claim d experience point with DIPB & can someone apply as single while married specifically just because of d cost of visa fee & travelling arrangement or any other conditions? Will be glad if references are provided 2 support urs advice.

Expecting input from experience ogas Bnimz, Jamson Bellong and others.
Thanks

I think you are right because it might be difficult to go with your family when you have not gotten a job yet. Remember you have to pay for accommodation and feeding for the family over there. Until you get a job.
My thoughts though

bellong:

PR applicants don't do biometrics... Teleperformance don't handle any of the PR process. In essence, paying in Naira is not possible at this stage.

My guy in Australia has confirmed that it was actually a type of student visa that he obtained (subclass 573) and then things were still done manually. Thanks again Bellong

jamson:
Ok folks....

Christmas has decided to come early sha. ITA loaded today after 14 days in the pool.

Congrats bro.

tyosho:
For a journey that started sometime in 2013,I'm very happy and so grateful to God that we received our 189 grant mail this morning.
A big thank you to BossLadyMo who was there from the very beginning and of course Sir Bellong who encouraged me when I was feeling overwhelmed at some point.To everyone who has responded to my enquiries at one time or the other,this is saying THANK YOU.
My family and I are getting set for Melbourne as I type.
The journey so far;
Applied with Vetassess as internal auditor in August or so 2013 and got a negative report after over four months.
Encouraged by another who's gotten his grant,we tried ICAA as external auditor in June 2014.After over 3months,they asked us to provide a corrected transcripts as the one we submitted omitted some courses.
Trust Nigeria institutions,we enter one chance trying to get a fresh transcript.
At this point,my Oga(principal applicant) say he's not doing again.He asked for his documents and money back from ICAA.Na there the journey terminate in 2014.
After plenty cajoling,prayers and pampering,hubby agreed to try again with Icaa in 2015.He Waka tire and spent money trying to get a fresh transcript which he now sent again to ICAA.
October 2015,we were positively assessed.We lodged Eoi with 60points(hubby wrote Ielts thrice by the way to get 7 minimum).
February 2016 he wrote Pte and we moved up to 70points.
When invite didn't show by May,he applied to ICAA with same documents and was positively assessed as accountant.
August 2016,we got four invites!!! 189 accountant and 189 external auditor.Then 190 accountant and 190 external auditor from Nsw.
We went with 189 external auditor and lodged on Aug 3rd.Uploaded all documents.
Then late August,there were issues with hubby"s X-rays and he was asked to do further X-rays.They still were not satisfied and asked for a sputum test.We were quite frustrated.
Finally on Nov 28th,his medicals were cleared.
On Dec 7th he was sent a health declaration form 815 to fill and submit.
Dec 22nd,we got our grant for the whole family.
Pls forgive any errors.I no fit modify

Wow.....Congratulations my sister, this is indeed Amazing. Great Success As you land.
