I already paid for the shipping, even the shipping fee was paid even before the toll truck took the car to the port. I track the vessel and still displaying enroute to baltimore. Am thinking maybe the ship is not yet there, i really dont know what is going on, all am hearing from him is he will let me know when my car is on a vessel, he is not precise and this makes me sick, over 3 weeks on queue, going to 1 month. I thought they say cars only uses 3 weeks on queue, but this is close to a month and nothing yet.
How can you assist me on this

Since you have paid, nothing I can do. Ask him the vessel he booked the car on and when it is taking off. You have the right to know the vessel he booked and he should show you the paperwork.

Dapson000007:
Hello house, please my car have been on queue at baltimore port since 13/14 october, grimaldi actually
Up till today, no word from the shipper, and i checked grimaldi schedule, grande sierra leone will arrive today, is it possible my car leaves with the ship cause my shipper told me its for sierra Leone, and hopefully it have space for 9ja stuff to carry. I really dont understand this, i thought all ship carries cars on queue selection. I need more light on this. Thanks

Have you paid for the shipping?

I don't think your car made it to the vessel because you should have received the Bill of Laden by now except you chose telex release.

If you have not paid, you should seek for confirmation on what is happening and if he is not giving definite details, I can assist you with it.

Righteousness89:
Every World Leader just like all of us are mere Creatures....
No Matter the Position or Power we feel we wield, we all are Nothing but Dust!

What Matters is Who Does GOD ALMIGHTY Congratulate?
Who among the two Will GOD put as President for the next term?

US Media has Picked theirs!

Between now and January 20th we all will know GOD'S Choice!

If you actually read the bible well, you will know God does not suppress the will of majority when it comes to leadership even when people clearly reject the leadership and authority of God (reminds me of Samuel). Accomplishing HIS purpose is not hinged on a man that lacks basic character and empathy for others. God will surely accomplish His purpose with or without Trump.

US media have always called the election before now, so Trump is not bigger than the tradition. And the USA media will continue to call the election after this year.

Dapson000007:
And please what if it was shipped this month, maybe 10th of this month, is it possible for the ship to reach here this year.

It takes about 21 days to get to Lagos from the East coast. Your shipping agent should have given you information of the vessel and departure time. Contact the shipping company to provide the information.

Dapson000007:
Please can anyone help me out with this
Actually my car was moved to baltimore port on 13th of october, do anyone have the idea on the duration for the queue before uploading and if likely a ship arrives on the 9th or 17th of this month, like how many weeks do ship sail before reaching Nigeria. Roro

Who is shipping it? Grimaldi or Sallaum? You can find the schedule on their website. If it was delivered on the 13th October, it should have met one of the vessels that left in the last two weeks.

Bodacious1:
Hello all,

I submitted an EOI in April this year which I updated with additional points for English last month. I am presently doing a Masters in a UK university (started early this month). Am I supposed to update my EOI with this information? I am projected to complete the Masters in September 2021.

@Tunlex01, @Bellong for your kind attention. Thanks.

You don't need to update the information because it will add no point. If it were a completed qualification, you may need to update depending on your circumstance.

300wayne:
Please does TRA do experience in lieu of qualification??

NO they don't. You must have both qualification and experience that are closely related.

Iphiegrace:
Please i need a link to assess my points in the skill assessment. I studies Optometry but I have been a Manager in Eye Care for 3 years. I’m 34.
Please I did IELTS General is it acceptable? What are my chances?

Read the first page of the thread. Meanwhile, it is not straightforward for optometrist. Go through the requirements on the assessing body's website.

afrobaby:


Thanks for your response. I won't pick system administrator, I will likely pick 263212 ICT SUPPORT ENGINEER. I still have a long way to go though. Still need to process my transcript to submit to ACS and I don't know how long oou will process it especially now that there is COVID

If you have a copy of your transcript, you can upload it along with other documents. ACS does not require that your institution send the transcript directly to them like VETASSES does.

Ikjosh04:


To put it in context, i cancelled out that part cause I really don't know what you are up to.

There's less than 2k people with the job title Engineering Managers in Australia. The data is available. Check Australia bureau of statistics, i won't do the easy job for you bringing that proof to your doorstep since it seems your motive is to demotivate me.

Engineering Management degree has diverse career path way and I am starting out my own as a Project Coordinator and grow through the ranks.

I said project coordinator is a graduate trainee role and there are entry level project management role too when you brought up your skewed thinking and I quote "Let me be honest with you and I stand to be challenge, no one will employ you as a project coordinator/manager in Australia without a local experience or at least experience from a 1st world country in engineering"

Mr bligs please avoid me cause I don't know why you will tell me the bolded when I'm not competing with you or something. Abi you be village people?

And oh yes! I'll quote you when the time is right for my testimony.

His choice of words may have been wrong but I don't think he meant to demotivate you.

Yes, quite a number of people struggle to get into that entry level role due to the local experience requirement (silly right?). However, it doesn't mean you will not get it.

Having the information he provided should be to motivate you more to add spices to your CV so it stands you out and give you an edge. You can get the role.

Meanwhile, don't harbour the idea of getting positive assessment as an Engineering Manager after one year in a project coordinator position.

afrobaby:


You are right. His age reduced his points.
The maximum points I can attain is 70.
For english competency, which would you advice I do, Ielts or PTE?
Also, do we both have to write the exam?
Lastly, what are the documents I need to submit to the accessing body?

Thank you all

I can't give an authoritative advice on the English test. Some find PTE easier than IELTS while others think IELTS is the best thing after Agege bread . It is up to you to decide which suits you. I only wrote IELTS, so I have no idea about the structure of PTE.

Yes, I will advice you both do assessments and write the exam to boost each other's points (partner's points).

Go to ACS website (Australian Computer Society), you will find information on documents required and steps to submitting your skills assessment.

NB: you should consider another occupation closely related to system administrator. This is because prior to COVID trouble, only ACT was nominating it and may likely remove when full nomination process starts. Look for closely related occupation that is nominated by at least three states to give you options.

Mcslize:


Hello bellong, the bolded. Can you quickly highlight some of restrictions lifted by Victoria State?

People can travel within 25km radius of their home. You can now receive some number of visitors in your house and can start to work from office provided the company can stick to the social distance protocol and other COVID protocols.

Silverpurple:


Many thanks for you honest feedback. I was actually looking at landing in Syndey, what do you think about this. It has about same opportunities as Mel on job sites. I have also started applying for jobs. My plan now is to get to the town by March 2021.

My reference to Melbourne is not an intent you are moving to the city but to let you know that there was a second wave which created restrictions. The restrictions in Victoria had some impact on the general economy. The economy is slowly picking up and it will take little bit of time for things to return to normal.

Sydney is ok, it is the most populous city. You should get something in Sydney only that Melbourne is considered the IT hub of Australia.

afrobaby:


Thanks for your prompt response.
My husband is a server administrator, system engineer and a software licensing specialist.

Read the first page, go to the occupation list and identify occupations that closely match his skills and yours. Once you do this, use the point calculator to calculate possible points the two of you can get, then you will be able to decide the principal applicant.

You might likely have more points because with his age, the age points is significantly less.

Your spouse will get a positive assessment from all the accounting bodies. However, she will not make enough points to receive invitation going by the points accountants are invited.. she needs at least 90 points to begin to have hope.

Ikjosh04:


Yes, the tasks of an Engineering Manager is glued to my brain.

I'll make further findings but nevertheless I can use my B.Eng Che Engineering degree to access with EA though what I actually thought was I just need to have 1 year post Msc working experience doing the task(Project Coordinator/manager) of an Engineering-Manager to enable me access as an EM since I have the EM degree which is not readily available for undergraduate study.

The one year experience will not qualify you as an Engineering manager. While the role is technical, it also has the administrative part to it. You will need more than the one year to get a positive assessment.

To let you know, the one year professional year is indirectly considered as an apprentice like year. It is not looked in the same way as skilled experience.

Please I need help guys. My own case is a very different one.
I was a system administrator in 2 companies for over 4 years before I lost my job in 2016, now I run my personal fashion design business and sales of taileoing accessories but still listed as a director in my husband's company.
I have BSC Computer Science
Age :37

My husband on the other hand is also an IT professional with over 8 years work experience. He, however left his salary job and started his personal IT company about 4 years ago.
He is officially 42 years old.
We have 2 kids

Now my questions are:
1) Who stands a better chance of getting a PR?
2) is my work experience as system administrator still valid?

Thank you so much

1. Who stands a better chance is dependent on who can gather the maximum points and whose occupation is nominated by the States. We don't know your husband's area of specialisation in IT.

2. Yes, your system admin role is still valid. Experience within 10 years is valid.

Hello I recently got the Aussy, 189 PR visa. I stay and work in Lagos earning 550k a month. Is this a good time to leave all and move to Aussy. I am a software developer in Lagos.

Also, I have a wife and infant son.

Thanks for your advice..

Don't move yet. Melbourne just lifted quite a number of restrictions. You can start to plan your move by January 2021.

Meanwhile, you can start to apply for jobs that catch your fancy from now. You could get one. Check Seek and Indeed Australia websites.

Cutiejewel:
can someone that travels with subclass 600( visit visa) later get a PR in Aussie?

99% of visitor visa issued to Nigerians and some other countries will come with No further stay condition. There is 99% chance that yours will come with it.

Under the no further stay rule, even if you apply for removal of the condition, the ACT does not permit issuance of another visa except for COVID that brought little changes to it.

If your aim is for PR, waste no money on visitor visa, apply for study visa or PR itself.

metrecube:
Good day my ogas on this thread. Pls I have my occupation (project builder) renewed in April when it expired after 3 years of no invitation. With the current trend I'm only praying for more state to start sponsoring it as the pandemic gets reduced. But I'm thinking to assess another occupation wc is bricklayer by adjusting my jd. I have a BSc in building from oau. Is the degree not too high to use for bricklayer?. I dont want TRA to bounce me. Also I want to know if assessing bodies share informations. Would TRA knows that I have positive assessment from vetassess? Pls I want to be cleared about this as bricklayer might give me a quick invitation. Thanks.

TRA will have no issue with higher qualification as long as you can demonstrate that your JD fits into your nominated occupation.

No, assessing bodies don't have agreement to share information. The money is important to all of them.

annex1:
My people.
Yesterday was exactly two years I submitted my EOI. It just got expired and deleted

Anyways I thank all you guys that have been advising and guiding by contributing (Bellong, Alphadoor and my G Tunlex amongst others) God bless you all.

And to others still in this race, perseverance and resilience is all you need. Godspeed

What is your occupation? How many points do you have?

Do you know that you can create another EOI?

Mamabigboy:
Hello good people,
Following the budget presentation, I fear things don't look too good for offshore applicants. I stand to be corrected anyway.
I have been waiting with my 95points for 491 since August hoping for state allocation but feel a bit confused today after reading some parts of the budget.

Can you explain the part of the budget you are worried about?

Most states suspended nomination due to COVID and some recently reopened while others are still closed.

JayMaine:


Hello Bellong, can you please advise me on what job role I can assess as, please with my ABU degree and over 10years work experience?

Studied Mass Comm, ABU.

Your occupation (Television journalist) is a Skill level 1 class B occupation. This means a Bachelor degree equivalent to AQF is a must. From experience, qualifications from ABU have been assessed to be equivalent to a Diploma. This will likely give you a negative assessment. You can make an enquiry with VETASSES for clarification.

Meanwhile, the other hurdle to cross is that only ACT specifically has it on their occupation list. Other states have it under special conditions. You will have to go through the states' website for more information.

You can choose many occupations but the hurdle is they are all Skill level 1 and not many states sponsor them.

Omalicha4288:
Hello every one, please I have a question.
My qualification is BSc Applied Biology and Biotechnology, I have a certificate in Health,Safety and Environment. My occupation fall under 134213(Primary health organization manager) because I work in a health organization as an Enlightenment Officer.
My fear is that my qualification and occupation are not in the line. Can I go ahead and evaluate with Vetassess?

I don't think PHOM aligns with an enlightenment officer. Go through the job descriptions for primary healthcare organisation manager and check against yours.

Priceless25:
@Bellong.. Please can I list my brother as a sponsor and still list his children (3) as my dependents? I'm really in a tight spot here.

I don't really understand your question because I don't know why you need your brother as a sponsor for skill migration except you want him to nominate you on family nomination.

If it is for study visa, yes you can add him as a sponsor but his kids cannot be your dependent when you are technically depending on him.

Babysho:


You sure there's no explanation for why it could be 180? The person is a trusted family member.

And any idea what the rate is in Nigeria not the one on Google.

Your trusted family member has ripped you off N100/$. Go and demand the balance.

The rule is clear, I know. But ask yourself why he was given the harshest punishment which was forfeiture of the $250,000 he had earned so far in the tournament instead of the minimum of $20,000 fine. Besides, the lines judge did not have to go to a hospital.

I don't like Djokovic o, but its a witchhunt.

Imagine that was Federer
That lines judge would have stood up and claim she wasn't hurt and everyone would laugh it off. That man is LOVED, he broke my heart in the last Wimbledon, I was close to tears.

You still don't get the rule. Even if it were to be Pete Sampras or Federer, he would have been given same treatment.

It is not whether the victim is hospitalised. The ball or racquet must not hit officials when ball is not in play, this includes unintentional hit. Even if the ball had just kissed her, that touched the official is a default.

Djokovic should rather work on his anger and frustrations. Federer doesn't behave in such manner when frustrated because he understands the rules.


You mentioned Serena, Krygios and David. Have you read the rules?

Krygios and David have been given default in the past and Krygios probably has paid more money in fines than he has won on court.

Serena's outburst was a violation code for which she received due punishment.

Ent3rpreneur:


Djokovic is a victim of witch-hunt.
This wont stop him from overtaking Frauderer to have the most GS

It is not any witch-hunt. The rule states that if you hit a ball hard, either intentional or unintentional, and it hits someone, you get a default.

Don't be in a haste to think somebody is after anybody. It is the rule which have been applied to other players in the past even for lesser situation. Tennis is no respect of any player.

It is not about intention but for players to play with decorum and not take their frustrations on balls and racquets.
