Accommodation na serious matter here o especially for non-students. Never experienced such a hectic process before. Even in the UK, you will surely get a place under 3days provided there is a vacancy and also depends on your taste. Going through Agency you need to apply for a property, wait for the inspection date, of which you are already at a disadvantage because majority of other applicants are currently working in Australia. The Agencies and Landlords want applicants that are in employment. Except you have a fat bank account funded with transfered funds from Naija of about AUD10,000, of which you have to promise to pay 2-3months upfront and additionally a bond of same amount, then you can be considered. Some landlords are good and wont mind, but it seems people have some kinda alert on gumtree, because an advert put up 10mins ago already has 36views. SO you call and the landlord says someone is keen and he/she will put you on the waiting list in-case the person's references don't come back clean (serious long thing). Getting a shared accommodation (not that easy though, as this comes with several restrictions like culture, religion, no couples etc) is the best to start with for minimum 6 months to enable you get a job and possibly build up more funds, before you move to an apartment or house of your choice. You will also need a character reference from the landlord or person in charge of letting out the room to you at the end of your 6months lease to help your application. After so much wahala and several inspections, I have eventually settled for and gotten an en-suite master bedroom in a shared house, as i have a wife and son. On a lighter note, 1st week of arrival i already did 2 interviews within my profession and progressing in stages in both. Same goes for my wife. My experience above is based on what i have seen in Melbourne, might be different in other low population suburbs and other states. But to a large extent they practically do things the same way here in Australia. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Congrats bro. God will see you tru, the road to success is a narrow way, at the end you will eat the fruit of the Land. You and your Family should be brave, like I use to tell my wife at times that any sacrifice one took for the Good of the Family is worth it providing that the end Justifies the means. You will get a good Job and enjoy the City soon. You will see. God bless your efforts. izykvision0: 1 Like |

izykvision0: Submitted my application to VETASSESS last week, so the Aud810 they charged me includes point test advice? It was stated on their site that the minimum requirements for work experience is one year and I don't have up to 2 years work experience, will they still deduct one year From my 20 months work experience? |

smile4davo: that is good news, I have subclass 573, spouse visa. |
Re: General Australian student Visa Enquiries Part 2 by izykvision0: 9:45am On Aug 13, 2015 |
cybug: Its now called a complete assessment, which includes the point test, but your first year at work is used to meet the work exp. requirement. So if you have worked for 2 years post assessed qualification, you only have 1yr work exp. With VETASSESS you need 5yrs post work experience if your qualification is not related or closely related to your assessed occupation. Or 1yr if they are both related or closely related. The 1yr work exp. deduction doesn't affect your assessment only when claiming work exp. points at DIBP stage. If you meet the (B) part of the above requirement,then you have 8mnths work exp. to claim on your EOI. |
Re: General Australian student Visa Enquiries Part 2 by cybug: 10:15am On Aug 13, 2015 |
izykvision0: Ok, thanks I'm not claiming point for work experience. Question: will clock 33 years by February next year. If I submit EOI before February, will my point for age still reduce to 25 points? |
Re: General Australian student Visa Enquiries Part 2 by izykvision0: 10:46am On Aug 13, 2015 |
cybug: If your invitation to apply for the VISA comes before your birthday e.g feb 14 is your birthdate, and invite comes feb 13, then you are fine to claim the points for age 32 which is on your EOI. So its how early you get the invite not EOI. But of course EOI has to be in place for the invitation to come. |
Re: General Australian student Visa Enquiries Part 2 by cybug: 10:58am On Aug 13, 2015 |
izykvision0: Thanks for the clarification... Before VETASSESS give me feedbak, maybe November don't know why they take that long,... Lemme just keep my fingers crossed and hope for a positive outcome If my points reduced by then, subclass 489 is the last resort |

Re: General Australian student Visa Enquiries Part 2 by izykvision0: 12:29pm On Aug 13, 2015 |
WinningSun: Factory jobs, warehouse jobs, cleaning, security, care jobs (elderly, mental health, learning disabilities), customer service, shops like retailers (coles etc) Most of the time, one gets too tired or engrossed in it and thus reduce intensity searching for the main thing. So if one is doing any of these, one needs to do it with SENSE. Don't forget that as you work out of your profesional line, you are creating a gap on your CV and recruiters don't like such applicants. 3 Likes |

izykvision0: Thank you. I just submitted my application to Vetassess last week. And I will have to wait for my + assessment. My nominated occupation in SA currently reads 'special conditions apply' or in other words it's filled up . which means I'll have to go the 489 route rather than the 190 |
Re: General Australian student Visa Enquiries Part 2 by mozo: 3:23pm On Aug 13, 2015 |
izykvision0: Is it possible that an occupation status with no or low availability later on can change to medium or high availability? |
