You will have to give more details. Which visa subclass is ur wife applying for? U mentioned her being Nominated. I guess u are talking about state nomination(SN). I don't really knw abt SN and if General IELTS is accepted. But if its subclass 189 and she is trying to get a +ive assessment and thereafter apply thru SkillSelect, she will need to get a band score of 7 IELTS(Academic) and apply to the assessing authority of her choice which I mentioned b4.

UBKtech:


Whether State Nomination or Independent (189), she still needs a positive skills assessment before any state or territory can sponsor her. She still needs Academic Ielts band 7.

lawland:
Not living in Perth is very much possible but not living in WA is a no no no... I am a big believer...

jennykadry:


Okay na. Stay diaaa make pata dey wear you

prechear:


Here u have it, oscarpellenchy. Ur wife will have to need hit a 7 in all IELTS band(Academic) regardless if she is going for skills Independent or state nomination just as UBKtech clarified. General is NOT accepted for Accountants. I Initially forwarded General Ielts for my assessment and I ws later asked to provide Academic.

chookudi:
Just a few Qs for you preacher. Did you have your academic qualification and employment skills assessed at the once? why did you prefer CPA? My fiancee just passed her academic ielts (7.5 overall) and i have made a decision on her behalf to have ICAA assess her academic qualifications and employment skills because they seem to have the shortest processing time (4weeks). basically i just want you to shed more light on why you preferred CPA to IPA and ICAA. ALso do you think she needs to include her ICAN qualification together with her Accounting degree (UNILAG). I suggested she should do so to cover any loopholes

Please for those you who have passed through 189 visa application process, i applied on the 15th of August and yet i have not heard from a case officer. Other people who applied after me for the same category of visa (Indians ) have been granted visa. Is it what to expect from DIBP because i am a Nigerian. Is there an email address i can contact them with. Thanks

bellong:


I guess Indians are not subjected to the rigorous internal and or external checks.

Be patient, there are others you applied together and are in the same situation.

Meanwhile, you could have been given a CO without you knowing. You only know of a CO if there is an outstanding document needed.

gogochocolate:


I decided not to submit my medicals and PCC until I am told to by the case officer and I am suprised he or she has not requested for it. Thanks for the input

Thanks for the insight. Yeah I already know most of the info..How long did your assessment take?
Q1. The assessing authority will ask for evidence of employment in ur chosen occupation in addition ur qualifications. They will indicate its OPTIONAL but I provided anyways. I can say yes to this question
Q2. CPA/ IPA is like ICAN/ANAN. I prefer ICAN. There is nothing wrong with either of them. CPA is more of the private sector while IPA is of the public.
Q3. Ensure tht she includes her ICAN qualification else she might not get a +ive assessment. CPA, IPA,ICAA and our ICAN are all members of IFAC, the world acct body. Remember dogs don't eat dogs.

oscarpellenchy:
if ur wife can hit 60points without claiming work experience, then she can go for it. Being nominated a state attracts some points. Do the maths and check. Age, state nomination, IELTS, qualification etc

surveyor1:

yes. Fatayi williams dont have X ray machine but if you go to st nicholas, they will do both for you. St nicholas is among the panel doctors now

cherries1:



wrong information, I called St. Nicholas today & I was told they run x-ray only.

bossladyMo:



I applied a few days after you, but CO already requested for meds and pcc on the 10th....I guess because I'm not claiming work exp points, so the application is pretty direct. But your case is not out of the ordinary, enough Indians from July sef have not gotten grants...they just started working on August applications last week, from what I could see on another forum...

It is if you dont have a CO by next month that the worry can begin...and 189 does take longer than 190/489

Well, things might have changed but if u check the immi panel doctors list, you will find St nicholas there and i knew folk who did it there.

lawland:
My boss, you can send me contact request and I go do am sharpary...

Sorry i have other Qs to ask concerning assessment. Is one required to provide payslips for EVERY month worked for the employment skills assessment? Concerning ICAN, should one also provide the syllabus or will the result certificate suffice? I'll like to also know how long CPA took to assess your qualifications. Thanks

UBKtech:


I have sent u a pm, do the needful!

bellong:
Bjayzeez,

You can use the reference letter you used for the assessment.

Yes, admission will not cut it.

Do you have offer from university in Perth?

I was told my application is undergoing various checks but he doesn't know or can't determine what the checks are.

bjayzeez:


remember I mentioned that vetassess assessment stated that i have over 2 years experience.... as they assessed only 35 months, lol. So the plan is to get an updated letter from work, and submit with payslips...just to be on the safe side.

I do have an offer with Curtin...but I guess id have to let it go

Im sure they would revert in a bit....the window before you get a response is 12 weeks isnt it.... bestaluck

bellong:


Alright... Get it updated.

What program is your offer in? I used to work on geothermal systems, I can see that Adelaide has geothermal program.

Thanks

bjayzeez:


Oh, nice.... How did you get yourself into that lol....Id guess thats not within the shores of niger area.

Mine is on burial history modelling, resident in the pet engineering department..... Part of the research in their shale gas consortium.

bellong:


Getting into it was fortuitous..

We do have the resources though not really enough for power generation but can aid in agriculture and other needs if tapped.

I have been useless to geothermal since I returned though.

You are digging deep into oil and gas history... Very nice.

bjayzeez:


so, you planning to go back to school in Aussie? Perhaps Adelaide? Ive been making noise about shale gas too in the past, gave talks at NAPE, and people just simply ignored me lol.....

On this geothermal ish tho....I have been looking it up as a prospective area id like to get involved in. We would definitely talk about this someday..... but before we turn OZ migration page to General Geology discussion.... we better park well lol

bellong:


Its part of the migration talk. At least one can talk about plans after grant.

Yes, I plan going for PhD in geothermal. Will probably look into geothermal wells cohabiting with oil.

Shale gas is the current bomb unfortunately, my interest has not been in the oil and gas. Thinking of exploring it now.

bjayzeez:


sounds good. Im sure we would be able to find common grounds in our respective research areas. I am into oil n gas, interested in geothermal....you are into geothermal, thinking of exploring oil and gas.....

sounds interesting to me
