Hello, @Bellong. Sorry I had to crash your question but I think your question may apply to me.

Yes, please. It is registered but i don't have a separate account for it. If it is cheque, I simply pay into personal accouunt or collect the full cash or have them make a transfer.

Does the payment shows that it is payment for your service? If it does, it is ok and you add tax certificate too.

PrettyEdnacious:
Hello dear,

Please am new to this thread and I need help with the entire process.
I will be glad of you can help out. Is there a telegram group for this Australia Japa

The help you need is on the first three pages of the thread.

First read and ask specific question. It is a do it yourself thread.

tunlex01:

Boss, what about the date (27th April 2022) stated in the preceeding paragraph?

I missed that. He should get clarity from ACS. But I believe these guys have been instructed to stop this deduction of experience when someone is rightly qualified for the occupation.

If it is what it means, he can't claim the 5 points

mojolajesu:
Hello People,

I am concerned about my skills and education.

I studied Civil Engineering in my Undergraduate and currently working within the IT sector. For my skills Assessment, I am looking at Computer Network and Systems Engineer cause that is closely related to what I a doing now.

My issue now is that ACS will access my skills relative to my degree and there is no correlation at all. I also have only about 3 years experience. Could there be away around this? Anybody please help

You can assess as a civil engineer without claiming experience points. You can use your thesis and internship to write the CDR.

For ACS, since you don't have qualification in ICT, ACS will require some years in lieu of experience.

armani07:
I applied for Visa 190 which I claimed 70points..Although Skill employment point is not part of it because I don't really understand this ACS assessment below. Please with the assessment below, can I claim the 5points for (at least 3 but less than 5 years) of Overseas skilled employment(

Yes, you can claim the 5 points. The outcome says those years meet experience at the appropriate level for the stated years.

Dking29:
Hello All,
I have been preparing to lodge application for skill assessment with VETASSES until yesterday when I read something that’s discouraging based on my peculiar family issues that I need advice on. I have a three year old son that’s suspected to have autism though no official diagnosis have been given. He has most of the signs and I personally think he is. Also, my wife was diagnosed of rheumatoid arthritis earlier this year. I read about Australia refusing PR based on similar health issues and I don’t want to waste money and it ends in that. I am the main applicant and have no medical issue.

Please is there anybody here that had similar issues or knows anyone that did and was successful?

Please I need advice from experienced folks.

Applicants and dependents who don't pass the medical examination are usually denied visa because according to them, they will constitute significant cost to tax payers. However, I don't think the medical examination conducted will identify if a child has autism or your wife has arthritis.
Autism may be considered a significant cost to the economy but it is not what the test will identify except you tell the panel doctors that you suspect he has autism.

The medical examination check significant visible disability, organ issues etc. The X-ray included is for the chest check for TB and other diseases, it doesn't target the joint to identify if there is a presence of rheumatoid arthritis.

Temmybuky:
Hi everyone, please I have some concerns that require the input of experts in the house. I did Master of telecommunication engineering in Australia, and I have gotten a positive assessment with EA for Telecom Engineer through it. Also, I have already done an expression of interest in that skill in some states in Australia without claiming points for work experience because of some complexities involved from my employers in Nigeria. But I changed my career during COVID-19, and I have been working as DevOps/Cloud Engineer for more than a year now. I know I will have to do an assessment with ACS on the new job, but I am getting confused about it. I am thinking of claiming 5 more points for working in Australia for 1-3 years to boost my point. Is anyone in a similar situation please help.

Please, what can I do?
@bellong
@tunlex01

Your immediate worry should be getting a positive assessment from ACS before thinking of claiming work experience. ACS is known to reduce work experience depending on your qualification and how long you have been in the occupation.

Meanwhile, if you get a positive assessment from ACS with your years of service approved, you can claim the Australian work experience points

NHQGUY:

I claimed points for it. 8years experience.
Getting tax certificate is not working out.
If i choose to use my bank statement, do I need to generate a bank statement covering the whole 8years?

You don't have to print the whole 8 years. Print the first 6 months, 3 months from each year and last 6 months.

You can add your pension fund statement to it and payslips.

NSW is a better option between the two towns

Decentdave:
@bellong,and Tunlex pls am at the final stage of application,I have applied for my tax clearance certificate from Lagos for the past two months ,I was told it will be ready early next year because of some portal issues.but the following documents are here with me for pay evidence
1.payslips for 5 yrs
2.gratuity statement
3.pension statement for 5yrs
4.Bank statement for 5yrs
Will this document fly...?
Your speedy reply will be appreciated..thanks

That should do, you already have 2 third party documents, bank statement and pension statement.

[quote author=Silentthinker post=118663657][/quote]

Which town in NSW? If your husband gets his truck licence, that will be a good advantage for him due to shortage of truck drivers.

Olubukolaalice:

Thank you so much�

In addition to this, ensure that you submit your application as soon and as early from when you send the transcript. This is to enable them to match your transcript to the application. If they get your transcript without the application, it is difficult to know whose transcript it is. They can only view your application details when it is submitted

Prettiepearlz:

But this other employer that he or she mentioned is in the UK not Australia.

Visa 186 is an employer sponsored permanent resident. The OP asking if Tasmania is a good city to reside indicates a plan to not reside in Tasmania if not recommended as the best place to live.

I supposed that the question to ask should be about Tasmania and the city where the sponsored organisation is located.

Jayboi:

To be honest, my wife is not ready to sit down and study any ielts. And I believe it will reduce the points. U mean the PR path for her and my kid will be an issue.

Adding her to your application will not jeopardize it even if she doesn't want to sit for IELTS. If need be, letter from her school that her education was in English will suffice.

The hurdles to cross in bringing her later will be too cumbersome to cross and worry about.

kontrieman:
Good day, Bellong and other leaders in the house,

I am done filling in the necessary information on the VETASSESS portal, but I am having challenges making the required payments for the skill assessment. Please, kindly, guide me on how to make payment from Nigeria.

I have been reliably informed that I can not use my Nigeria master card to do such payment, and barter shut down their virtual dollar card service recently.

Please, how do I go about making payment? Guide me

I believe you have sorted this. Follow the advice given to you earlier.

[quote author=Silentthinker post=118579501][/quote]

For fairness and equity, you should work with the company that nominated you for at least two years before thinking about looking for another state.

The organisation offered to nominate you with the hope that you will work for them. While the 186 doesn't restrict you to the employer, it is only fair if you stay with the employer for two years as a thank you.


To answer your questions:

1) Is tasmania a good place to live?

Depends on your definition of good place, Tasmania is a nice place. If the organisation is located in Hobart, it is a nice harbour town but becoming very expensive. Relatively very safe too and not too crazy winter.


(2)what's the cost of living over there?

The cost of living in Tassie is increasing like the other states. Average cost of rent for a 3 bedroom per week is between $380 - $400. You can check www.realestate.com.au for advertised rents.

Groceries prices are increasing by the day with the capitalist hiding under rising inflation to jack up prices of food. For an average family of 3 expect to spend between $500-900 monthly on groceries if purchasing in organised departmental stores.


(3)Are schools free for children ?

Public schools will be free for your kids. However each state has a sort of levy parents pay to support the school. Something about $500/year or less depending on the school.

(4)Hope non medical Jobs are easy to come by (for my husband) ?

Tasmania is a civil service state. Non-medical jobs are not easy to come by but he will eventually get something for sure. However, he could be lucky and get something good immediately.

There is a sizable Nigerian community in Tasmania you can be connected with to assist you in settling down.

All the best.

Hello Tunlex, Bellong

I just realized that the reason why my visa 489 application has remained stagnant is because Home Affairs sent a mail to my employers to verify my employment since January 2020 and they didn’t reply this message till today. It is now over 2 years and I’m just finding out today. I am heartbroken and confused on what next to do. Please I have attached the mail and will appreciate your advices

They should respond with an apology and state it was skipped.

It is not too late. The CO should have sent a reminder or follow up with a call, maybe they ignored the reminder email too.

Voice234:


Inclusive of NYSC I have 7years of experience. I was invited with 70points and it includes 10points for experience

Since you will still have same points without the NYSC experience, there is nothing to worry about. There would have been a problem if your points will reduce without it.

For the benefit of those reading, any experience you are sure you cannot get evidence for, tick not relevant in the appropriate box to it rather than create issue that shouldn't arise.

Voice234:


@bellong and @tunlex any response please ?

How many years of experience do you have? How many points were you invited with and how many experience points does that include?

yousee:
Please when paying for the assessment on EA, which is it?
1. Standard competency demonstration report OR
2. Competency demonstration report plus
relevant skilled employment ASSESSMENT.

Thanks

1. If you are not claiming any experience

2. If you are also assessing experience

VirileNelly2420:

Reasons for companies relocating musnt be cos of parts, it can be caused by any logistics other than that.
They can choose to play solidarity card with their Western subsidiaries. That's it.

Just to make it look they are disgruntled by the Russian actions even when dey are actually not... But have to play along so they don't enter d black list of the agitating European block and there Western counterparts.

It's just like Nigeria closing it's embassy in Russia cos of the situation in Ukraine...
Yes Nigeria can. But for wot reason? Simply to buy favour from West and in the eyes of the world.

If they can't source for parts or sell the products they manufacture, what do you suggest they do?

VirileNelly2420:

Where did u see dat? Na so una deydoctor information upandan
Go back and take another look at d news. This time, read slowly nd carefully!

Western sanctions imposed on Russia since the beginning of the Ukraine offensive have heavily disrupted supply chains affecting mostly technology and car manufacturing sectors.

The truth is with all the sanctions, no technological driven company can survive as some vital parts are sourced from Western Europe, Japan and the USA. It is no given that all the manufacturers are leaving. I don't think it their leaving is about the war but incapability of manufacturing to meet minimum standard due to availability of parts.

Decentdave:
@ bellong and Tunlex...I have a concern o,and I need ur help..am gathering all my documents for TRA as I have already started the process..the only issue now is my tax clearance.i am evaluating for 5yrs,but my tax clearance certificate available is only for 3yrs .This is so because Lagos state currently can only provide tax clearance certificate for only 3yrs ,I want to ask if it can fly
Note:the rest documents are intact
Payslip:5yrs
Pension statement:5yrs available
Bank statement:5yrs available
Tax clearance:3yrs

You are good to go. You already have a third party document (bank statement and pension). The tax certificate is an icing on the cake not an absolute requirement once you have one of the third party. The tax certificate only settles all doubt.

Goodluck mate...

Pls Op kindly advice how one with these can proceed his application and successful get into oz

The first step is to read the thread from the start. Then check the occupation list to look for an occupation that fits or closely align with your experience.

Once you identify an occupation, visit the assessing authority's website to read requirements for assessment. Then you are good to go.


If you read and follow the instructions on the thread, you will likely not have any difficulties following through.

Melo101:
I’m yet to get ITA as I’ve not started the process. I just want to understand the step by step process. I’m an English graduate and I’ve been doing customer care jobs. How ever I want to apply as a chef. Can that suffice? Kindly assist guys ��

Your first step is to read the thread.

meetme01:
I need your advice.

I have Masters in Social (MSW) Community Development is my Speciliazation written on my certificate.

I work as a Social Welfare Officer and aced my IElTS. My assessment is the gridlock.

I can see Social Work on 189 and 190. The accessing body is AASW which has a very long process.

However, that of AIWCW (Welfare and Community Worker) is liberal. I have all the documents.

Can I assess my credentials with AIWCW and use for Social Work since my major in Social Work.?

Or

I wait till I get a province for Welfare and Community Workers.?

Kindly advise.

You cannot apply for an occupation you have not been assessed for. If you assessed for a welfare/community worker, then your EOI must be in that occupation.

Meanwhile, the occupation you get visa with does not limit the kind of jobs you can do when you are in the country. You can work as a social worker if you can sell yourself.

In the meantime, I will advice that you to consider your options properly and assess for occupation that will get you ITA faster.

Voice234:
Good morning house and great job @Tunlex01, got ITA on the 6.10.2022, Mechanical Engineer. Currently applying and I was told to list my addresses in the past 10yrs. how far can this go; would it include every hostel/lodge I lived in while schooling, NYSC and masters?

Secondly I wrote another IELTS before the ITA, which has a higher score, can I substitute it for the former IELTS I use in my EOI that gave me this ITA even when it's yet to expire ??

Include address you lived in for more than 3 months.

Even if you add IELTS with higher score, it will be irrelevant as your application will be treated based on the points you were invited with. No need to start complicating your matter for something that wouldn't add any value to your application.

baresi22:


Thank you so much. That is what I have decided to do. I called them after posting this and I was told to draft a cover letter and apply.Me self come tire... I had to explain the situation again to the Department of home affairs staff and I got the same response. It seems that they are bending their rules cos they need people.

Customer service centre has been outsourced to a private company. The people you talked to are contractors for DHA not case officers.

Anosky:
Pls kindly with this EOI question;
Are there any family members the client will include in the future? If we have only one child w would the answer be 1 or does it include the spouse and the child making it 2?

Aside unborn children, do you have any qualified family members you are not including in the application now but may include later?
If your answer is NO, then it is no.

Please wat will i select

You selected the appropriate option. The first one.

kontrieman:
While checking the List of Required Document on VETASSESS Page. Concerning Transcript, they stated that;

NIGERIA
A verified copy of the award certificate and full academic transcript must be sent in a sealed envelope from the awarding body directly to VETASSESS.

For Priority Processing, the verified documentation must have reached VETASSESS by registered courier mail at the time you lodge your application.

Until I came across this, I had always believed that I only have to upload a scanned copy of the school certificate while I request my school to send my transcript to them by post...

Please, does this mean that they also expect my school to include a verified copy of your certificate with my Transcript and post it to them?

If I upload a scanned copy of my school certificate and instruct my school to post the transcript alone, would that suffice ?

I finished from OAU, and I don't think they have a procedure for including verified award certificate with academic transcript

Bellong and other Leaders in the House, kindly guide me

When you request for your transcript from exams and records, give them a photocopy of your certificate. They will stamp this photocopy with OAU stamp and note copy of the original on it. This stamped copy will be included in your transcript when posting.
