Hello house.
Thank you all for the contributions and guidance. Ok my own is that I finished school early this year I studied Linguistics and communication studies in uniport and I want to further or do my masters in Australia and possibly get a pr there. So I would love to know a course I can do there that would help me achieve that. And everything that it would cost and the requirements I don't want to be taken unawares. Thank you

Oga Tunlex01, thanks for all you life changing contributions here.

Please can some one pay for my Engineers assessment from Australia while I credit his Naira account here.

Does it have any effect of the name paying for the assessment is different from the assessed candidate?


The total payment for EA is $1848


If you find someone willing to assist you, it has no negative effect.

In fact it can take even more than that. Budget 5months patience on your assessment application. It will likely come out around the first week of the 6th month.
That's the reality

Hello @Bellong,
I need some opinions from you and anyone who may have been on this situation before.
I am currently in my 3rd semester for my master degree program here in NSW, I have a family of 3 back in Naija. I haven't been able to apply for subsequent entrant visa for them because of pof.
However, in Feb this year I got nominated for 491 and have since submitted the visa including my family (wife and 2children). But you know how they treat 491 visa application especially if they are not medical occupation. It can take forever with them. Terrible bad to know that they accepted huge visa fees but will never attend to your visa application.
Now, I have secured the funds to commence the subsequent entrant visa for my family. I have started it already but I have some fears regarding how to explain the aspect of our 491 visa application in her GTE statement considering the fact that this subsequent entrant visa subclass 500 is a temporary visa. Now we have indicated that we want to migrate to Australia since we have earlier submitted 491.

What do I do from here please? Anyone have been in this situation before? Please help.

It's a dicey one because the GTE for 500 SE visa will negative the 491 application. You should have applied for the subsequent entrant before 491. Two options: first is apply for the SE visa (there is a 50 % chance you might get it). Indicate you have missed them and you would like them to join.
2nd option: wait till it's granted. Follow up with calls. If you can contact your MP or Senator, visit them or email them to explain your situation.

Good morning my people, please which type of IELT is required for skilled visa?
Can PTE academics be written in Abuja because I didn’t see any Abuja test center on their website?
Is PTE Academics accepted for both Study and PR ?


If this question has not already been answered, the type of IELTS you write depends on the assessing body for your field, some may request general while others academic.

I believe the most important thing is to know the assessing body for your profession and go with their requirements for PR, for study it is mostly academic, you'l need to check the english requirement of the school you are interested in.

The two visas are handled by two different units. One in South Africa and the other in Australia.

As you have shown that you want to remain for the long term, it will be hard convincing those in South Africa that you are on GTE. Notwithstanding, it can still be done.

One of the things people do is to include yourself in the application which will cancel your original visa and issue a bridging visa till it is determined. If done that way, the application is treated locally and decision will hsve right of appeal. However, it cannot be done in your case because you already have an ongoing 491. If you do it, your 491 becomes invalid, from knowledge, you cannot make two applications as the principal applicant at the same time (things might have changed).

I will encourage you to let them understand for the purpose of the subsequent entrant, you need to see your family after long time. Put in the connection your wife still has with Nigeria e.g her job, landed property etc.

Goodluck

Townsville is a nice regional town but I think for someone coming in new, why not go to a bigger city with more opportunities. Every major city has a university.

Thank you once again @bellong,
Yea, we are trying to see if we are able to convince the south African people irrespective of the 491 visa pending for grant.
My current visa will expire by Aug 30th 2024. It just the way they currently treats 491 visa application. Especially one that is not in health occupation. It's very disheartening to see that after they collect almost $10k AUD for the visa application only for them to start prioritizing some and leaving majority of others to decay in their system.
They really need to look into justice and fairness considering that even after prioritizing one occupation over another, the shortages in the non prioritized occupation will continue to be there...
I learnt that the recent allocation strategy was to ensure that they don't get to accept too many new applications while there are still thousands of pending ones whose docs had probably expires.
