Good day gurus in the house. Thank you for all you do.
I am married with two kids, I still retain my maiden name till date but my kids bear the same surname as their father. All my documents and my application for SA nomination bear my maiden name (no change of name). Do I need to go ahead for a change of name to my husband's surname or I should just let the name be as it is.
Thank you for anticipated response.

It's a dicey one as only experience after qualification is regarded.
but check the occupation you want to nominate first.

Visit www.anzscosearch.com
You may need to register on the website to view the details below
On the top middle page click "Lists" (on a laptop/computer) or click the Hamburger sign (3 horizontal lines) to select "Lists" if you are using a mobile device
Go through the 3 lists MLTSSL, STSOL and ROL
Click any of the occupations that best relate to what you do.
When you click the occupation, scroll down to 'Anzsco code' and scroll to 'Tasks'
Check if the tasks relate to the occupation you have selected.
Revert here with occupation(s) you deem relate to what you do and we will take it up from there

Hi House,

Started reading this thread from page 1......no be beans. Weldone to all the pillars that have kept this thread going.

I need some "surgical" advise for the peculiar position i currently find myself. I have summarized a quick run down of my numbers below;

age: 34
IELTS: Band 9
Experience: 8 years continuous production management in one firm (different roles though, but scripted my reference letter well )
Education: Chemical engineering degree ( 10 years ago) & MBA in Operations & Project Management ( 3 years ago)
Partner IELTS: Band 6
Total points: 80
Target Visa: 190

Truth is i was close to 90 a few years back, but Canada no gree person see road.

Anyway, this is my challenge.

I just accepted an offer for a similar job in Singapore. Based on all preparations, i should be living the country in 2 weeks time.

Question 1: Is it possible/advisable to run Australian PR as a Nigerian living outside Nigeria. Will there be an issue or conflict from the change in address, etc

Question 2: Will there be any issue in processing this PR while i and my spouse live in different countries

Question 3: i have ran through every step of the process to see which one would require my physical presence in Nigeria at any point. The only things i could zoom in on were
a) Vetassess skills assessment (Transcript arrangement)
b) Police certificate,
c)skilled employment evidence (employment reference letter, etc)
d)Partner documents ( joint bank statement, etc)
e) Health Exams

i'm i missing anything? I am particularly worried about the Health exams. Any possibility of triggering this before EOI application(i.e before i travel ) for 190 visa or will it be required after nomination? Also is it possible for the medical test to be done in different locations (i.e assuming i have not relocated the rest of my family by then)

Apologies once again for the barrage of questions, but looking at my short timelines, i must get these physical requirement right.

Hello please for those living in Sydney on student visa, how much tax do you pay after income?

Televizo:
Hello Great folks in the house

My profile is given below

Age 38
Education: BSC
University: Nnamdi Azikiwe University
Couse of study: Mathematics
Year of graduation: 2011

Experience
NYSC 1 year(2012-2013)-work as a Teacher
Also work with Sterling Bank for 1 year(2014-2015)-work as DSE (Direct Sales Executive)
From 2015 until date, am just self employed I sell and repair mobile phones.

My question is what is the best field to go for accessment that is straight forward without any complication in my application.

First of all, I thought of going for Mathematics accessment with vetassess, then disregard my previous work experience and package a new work experience with a new company that will provide me with 7-9 years work experience that is relevant to vetassess work experience for Mathematician, to enable me claim 5 or 10 point, such that, if I can claim 20 points in PTE by achieving 80 in all bands. I can have total of 65 or 70 point depending on what I can claim on work experience.

Can someone help me out and advise me on the best strategy to go about this,
Secondly, is the idea of packaging work experience to suit a particular area of interest ok, will that be a red flag if one choose to package work experience.
Finally what is the best area I can
focus on. Guys your contribution will be highly appreciated.

Good day guys, please I am applying Vetasses skills assessment for skilled migration. I have gathered and uploaded all my documents and yet to submit them on the website but there is an issue. I need my school to send my transcript and BSc certificate directly to Vetasses but all the staff of the Uni are on ASUU strike (federal University)

Below is the requirement stated on the Vetasses website for Nigerians.
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.

What would you advise as the way forward?
1. Upload My certificate and student copy of transcrip online?
2. Upload my certificate and student copy of transcript and find a way to inform them simultaneosly that there is ASUU strike and the school will send the documents once its called off
3. Do not upload any online but upload other documents and submit, then wait for ASUU and try to send as fast as possible when the strike is called off?


I really do not want to just wait and wait without doing anything.
Kindly advise on what to do

tunlex01:

If you have issues with tax, perhaps EA is not your best option then as you must have either pension or tax for ALL the years being claimed.
Look out for other occupations that is not assessed by EA.

tunlex01:

1. Yes, no
2. No
3. None of these require physical presence. Health examinations can be done in any country. You will only need to go to approved hospital.
No, medicals is only done after you apply for visa.
FYI, 190 is rarely given these days, not even for chemical engineering. 491 visa has been consistent for applicants outside Australia.

Hopefully this may change in the new financial year.

Good day house. Please will an accounting Bsc from unilorin be equivalent to Australian Bsc or Associate degree?

@tunlex01, I have a positive assessment as a professional chemical engineer with EA in the past but the assessment has now expired. I didn't claim any experience then and I am about to renew my assessment with the option of adding relevant skilled employment. For some reasons, I don't intend to claim the work experience with EA but wish to claim it with DHA. What do you advise please?

Saynoomore:
Hi All,
I'm new to this route. I've read some information online about this program, and I think it's viable.
I understand now that I would require VETASSESS to assess my credential and employment. I'm under 242111

My question is: What documents would be required to prove the years of employment, apart from the employment letter. Do I need payslips from the first year to date?

Modified** - I also read somewhere that there are State nomination fees to pay if an applicant is applying to a state, to be considered for nomination (https://truebluemigration.com/visa-fees/skilled-visa-application-costs-in-australia/), but can't find the fees anywhere. I'm interested in knowing how much the state's nomination fees are, just to enable proper planning of the expected expenses.

brandmix:

Thanks!

Are your familiar with the Vetassess platform.

Been stuck on the work experience page (section to state job duties) with errors popping up every time I submit the page.

Beginning to think it’s from their end.

RockhouseCafe:


@
Tunlex01. Please which Nigerian schools have Bsc that are equivalent to Australia's? Is Unilorin one of them?

tunlex01:


I hope you have MSc and also know your experience will only be approved from the date recorded on your MSc cert.
Vetassess has a list of the documents here
https://www.vetassess.com.au/skills-assessment-for-migration/professional-occupations/eligibility-criteria
Yeah, payslips first and last but for DHA, it’s for all the years you are claiming.
The state nomination fee depends on state but it ranges from A$300-700

With the new PM, do you think anything would change?

tunlex01:

Bsc Accounting from Unilorin is an Associate degree. Which occupation are you assessing?

Saynoomore:


Thanks.

I have MSc, and PhD. I can easily get both transcripts sent to VETASSES because I didnt obtain them from a Nigerian University. I started work after my PhD and I'm only interested in claiming years of experience afterwards (its 8yrs now). I have some journal publications that could suffice as evidence also.

Can I ignore sending my BSc transcript since I'm not claiming points from after BSc? I want to avoid UNIBEN wahala with getting transcripts. Its extremely hectic and time consuming!

RockhouseCafe:


Oh thanks...then it won't fly. I'm trying to assess for my wife so l can get 10points from her. She did accounting, l was looking for any associate degree skill she can assess. Everything related to accounting is skill level 1. Thought of office manager but is not on 491. Confused

Any idea?
