Good day.. Please, I'm new here and I need help...
I studied Physics Education, graduated 2017 ... And I have the intentions of studying Medical Physics for Masters.
I was advised not to spend Millions on Fees and the likes but to go for PR since that's what I want to end up with.

But I really don't know how to go about it... the application and the rest... I need a guide please

The first step is to read the thread from the beginning, you will then know how to go about it.

Please what does Australia mean by *Pro rata Occupation*?

This mean that highly popular skills or occupations will be restricted and the invitations are sent pro-rata (limited number of invites in that skill category).

Summary is that those occupations have defined number of invitation to give other occupations a shot.

@corjay,

Both of you can still be primary applicant. You can both submit EOI and whoever gets the invitation first becomes the principal applicant.

That being said, have you checked the conditions for nomination from Victoria or New South Wales? Other option is customer service manager for your occupation.

Your husband can go through the RPL route (recognition of prior learning) for ACS assessment.

Goodday all, please am in the process of submitting my 491 visa, i have work with 4 employers and 2 of them didnt remit any tax or pension but i have bank statement and payslip to prove salary payment, the other 2 i have their bank statement, payslip, tax cert and pension, during my assessment these were the document i sent to TRA. At this visa stage, i was told that they dont recognize bank statement and payslip, was told tax or pension is the priority to prove previous emloyment. Please how true is this. @bellong please i need you input and anybody that can help out, so i can upload my documents ASAP.

The bank statement will serve as a third party evidence which will be enough in addition to other employment documents.

You will be fine.

How about going through school, will it be easier getting papers that way?

There is definite response to your question. It may or may not depending on your course of study and state of study.
And of course, migration policy is dynamic.

Please am new to this group and I know nothing about Australia PR. I will be 31 by July, am married, am a medical doctor and I have up to 3 years experience working as a doctor. I have written General Ielts with scores LRWS-7.5,8.5,7,7. I filled in the eligibility for visa 189 and am getting 70 points. Please I got an info from a telegram group that I can assess my skill under a health related skilled occupation as going through Australian Medical Board would require me writing AMC. Please house, which health related occupations can I assess my skill under and how do I go about it?

Why not write PLAB for the UK and practise there for at least a year and then consider relocation to Australia. It will be easier that way.

Ohh... thanks sir...

The thing is that.. I'm planning to go to Australia by 2022..ie my final year...
I'm currently saving my money and I intend to learn a new skill in IT maybe software development and plumbing because I heard law can't Grant u PR there

I'm just confused as to how to migrate especially due to the fact that I might not have up to the 3yrs and above experience needed for the 189 visa

What are you studying?

Learning IT may not improve your chance except you get a quslification in the IT or plumbing. Qualification is an important requirement for the process.

189 is not the only subclass available. Have you read the thread?

Is there any likelihood of Australian authorities allowing new students in this year? I am aware no body is allowed into the country cause of Covid-19.

Until international flight restriction is lifted, no foreigner can fly in. The earliest that can happen is in August considering that the three phases of easing restrictions was released yesterday

Please, I studied Physics Education Bsc Ed. and I'll love to have my masters in Medical Physics and also love to have it in Aussie.. I actually finished with a CGPA of 2.75 thereabout... What's my chances of admission, what's the application procedure.
And what are the possible school suggestions for me...
And How marketable is the course over there?

When did you graduate? Do you have experience as a teacher?

You are a science teacher if you have experience. You will be better off starting the PR process than committing millions to school when your end game is PR. It is easier from the outside most of the times than applying onshore because you have all the states to apply for nomination. People onshore can only get nomination in state of residence except they have a job offer in another state or relocate.

Check the PR thread and read the process.

Good day House,

I’m interested in masters in law, i want to know the prospective with such masters as (it’s 1year) and i intends to stay back after study. Will it be possible?

Also as a lawyer in Nigeria if masters in law won’t work out for me or is not lucrative, what other masters are good and that can help one get post study visa, or apply for pr

Go through the course or department's website to identify which of the courses will qualify you to be registered with the Law society of that state post study. If the course can give you opportunity to be registered and called to the bar in the state, you are on the pathway to PR as a solicitor or Barrister.

If the course or program will not give you membership of the Law society, it is a waste of resources. If your aim is to stay post study, you must have a plan from now.

A lot of people grab any course just to get to Australia and then take many years to find directions while some end up being sent back home.

Don't let any agent deceive you into study any course to get the visa. Most of the time it ends in tears.

Goodluck

Happy new years Uncle B.

You keep sneaking in and out tongue

Some people do not know how to thrive for balance.

So if they want to place something above their family, it better be their calling e.g. Apostle Paul them them and not a job/living.

Unfortunately, only a minute few will ever fulfill their calling or purpose. Most are just chasing the wind under the guise of 'working, earning a living or becoming independent'.

I still think the family is the first ministry sha.

I don't sneak. It is you that disappeared cool angry

The family is the basic unit of life if I may put it that way. When an assignment is committed to a person, it is not to put the family unit in jeopardy under any circumstance. Anyone that chooses to have a biological family cannot put his calling above his or her family as it is a recipe for disaster. Like you put it, the balance is the key and I do know that grace is always available in abundance for it.

There is no evidence that Paul had a nuclear family unit of his own. Most information available are speculations. Paul has always been a journeyman even before his conversion..

I will send you a mail if you have not changed your email.

Good morning,

Please when you are submitting your documents for assessment to vetasses did you upload your transcripts on their application websites or its just your school that will send the transcript to them.

The instruction is clear on VETASSES website. Your school must send the transcript. If you upload, they will still wait for the official one before finalising your assessment.

Please I have a question, I am looking at the criteria for 190 visa class for New South Wales, and I noticed under the priority skilled occupation list, the availability of my occupation is listed as 'Limited" does anyone really know what that means? I attached an image here.

Limited means there is limit to the number of people to nominate for the occupation.

Yes he lives in a regional area in NSW. I am doing family sponsor.

Family sponsor nomination is strictly done by DHA and the queue is long. They hardly invite high numbers of family sponsored applications.

If NSW has your occupation on her list, apply to NSW too.

Good morning @bellong, @tunlex and othere gurus.
I say this on the eligibility requirements of NT.
That offshore applicant must have a job in region already.
How posible is this please

Not all the occupations require job offer. However for the purpose of your question, it is possible to find a job from offshore.

NT companies sometimes struggle to fill positions in the region because people don't want to relocate to the place. You could be lucky to find a position if you have skills employers need. The spin to it is the economic impact of COVID-19 may prevent international recruitment drive.

Am sticked at biometric and medical because of the lockdown in lagos. I have sent a complaint Mal to DHA but received a generic reply. What do I do next.

The department knows that worldwide services have been impacted. The 28 day limit has been suspended. You will be given enough time to get them done.

This is an excerpt of information available on DHA website

"Disruption of services
Some services relating to the visa application process may be impacted by COVID-19 and a range of services we rely on are increasingly unavailable.

This includes overseas panel doctors (see below), English language testing facilities, biometric collection and paper application lodgement centres.

While these services are unavailable, many applicants cannot meet visa requirements. Applicants will be given additional time to complete checks and provide the requested information."

You have nothing to worry about..

This thread and previous thread have enough information for people to be able to self-analyse their own chances.

Putting up your profile shows you have not read the thread. The beauty of do it yourself is for individuals to read themselves and then ask questions where stuck. Asking basic question of what are my chances shows you have not read the thread.

You should know that nobody works with DHA that sends invitation. Hence, we don't know anybody's chances but you can use the information to assess your eligibility.

Please read people.

232311 fashion designer VETASSESS skill 1 (the task best fit what i do)
so what do i do next sir....will like to have all arranged before i start the process
Recap
Am 30yrs
Presently single but intend to marry asap
am a Bsc holder 2014
online store 4yrs old

Printing machinist and fashion designer are trade occupations. Do you have qualification in fashion design? I don't think you will be qualified for printing machinist because it is completely different from what you explained you do.

Graphics designer is an ICT occupation.

Do you sew the clothing yourself or you sell clothing online? If you only sell, you will not get a positive assessment.

You mentioned you are planning to marry asap, what is your fiance's qualification and experience?

You are in the better position as the principal applicant. Geophysicist is a level 1 occupation, so you will need to add your MSc for the assessment to get a positive assessment. However, VETASSES may not approve any of your pre MSc experience.

There is no specific information that visa processing is suspended. However, with the international movement restrictions in place world over, it is fair to say that temporary visa processing may be put on hold. No point approving a visa nobody can use.

Meanwhile, this is the information available on their website:

"Applicants should be aware that some services relating to the visa application process may be impacted by COVID-19."
