dunsinogundele: IOM always state 20kg in order to avoid over weighing. The 23kg on Emirates website means plus the actual bag weight and aside the weight, the bag dimensions matter. For Emirates it's 25 * 19 * 14 inches |

Bambizzle4k4556: I have not been here for two days so I didn't get to read your original posts. I know you wrote something not worthy of someone in the academics. One piece of advice I will give you is to learn humility. Pride goes before fall. No matter how great, big or influential you think you are, if you are full of pride, your downfall is a disaster waiting to happen. God RESISTS the proud. And if you are an atheist, society don't view the proud nicely. Arrogance will get you nowhere. It is a disappointment that you said you are research student and couldn't even do the basic of research which is reading. When you write a scholastic article for publication, please copy me. You are not the first to apply onshore, several people have done it before you. Like you, they came but they read and asked specific questions, they got what they wanted and disappeared to where they came from. Your excuse that you don't have time to be on here is nauseating to say the least. You want something but you don't want to commit time and resources to get it. You are the one in need of help, not anyone here and you should be humble enough to take to correction. I did not even whip you with words in my first response to you. The site being anonymous does not give you right or priviledge to disrespect anybody. It only shows who you are. If everybody is schooled privately like you wanted, there wouldn't be information on this thread for others who are not so priviledged to have a private coach. To save you time and stress, below is the link to all accredited migration agents. They are the only people permitted by law to give private migration advice. Section 258 of the migration act imposes a 10yr jail time for any unregistered person giving migration advice. If you are what you want us to believe you are, put your money where your mouth is and employ the service of a migration agent. https://www.mara.gov.au Nevertheless, if you humble yourself and repent from your folly, I am convinced everyone here will be of help to you. The choice is yours... Goodluck 10 Likes 2 Shares |

gogedda: To avoid story that touch, you MUST add your MSc degree.
Petroleum geology is a branch of geology, it is no problem at all. As long as you can proof you put to use the principles of geology in your job descriptions, you are good to go. 2) I learnt Tasmanian do ask for a job offer or presence of family member before they can sponsor people, I don't have both, please what can I do? This is where it gets tricky, before you go ahead with the assessment, be sure you will be able to meet State's conditions for nomination. Geologist used to be sponsored by most of the States but the crash in the mining industry and oil/gas turned the occupation undesirable by many states. My advice, if you think you can net 75 points which probably is unlikely, go for the SA nomination. However, if you find someone in Tasmania who will be willing to make you a family member, go for it. As it is, Geology is as good as not on the list. You have to go a different route. 3) I am yet to write the English test and I understand thie sol/csol list will expire in July with another one coming out, please should I wait to re-strategize? Read previous response.
Yes I am. I was lucky to move at the tail end of Geologist being removed from the list. If I had waited for three more months, I probably wouldn't start this thread. If you have the money, you can come on study visa for a course on the list. Alternatively, check www.seek.com.au if you can get a job offshore. The employer will sponsor you if you get one. Although it is difficult but it is not impossible. Some have been lucky to get a job offshore especially if you have an outstanding skills in those oil/gas software packages. 1 Like 1 Share |

SkillSelect and State Nomination Update March 2017 This article looks at recent SkillSelect invitation rounds and changes to state nomination requirements. The situation remains difficult for pro-rata occupations, but this may change as the number of invitations being issued is well below planning levels. A few states have restricted their state nomination programs, but state nomination remains a very effective way to improve your eligibility for migration to Australia. Non-Pro Rata Occupations For most occupations, 60 point is sufficient to obtain an invitation for either the 189 or 489 subclass, and applicants can expect an invitation next invitation rounds. The reason for this is that the total number of invitations being issued for both 189 and 489 subclasses is nowhere near sufficient to hit the targets being set by the Department of Immigration. The current planning level for the 189 subclass is 2,000 invitations per round - giving a total of 48,000 for the program year. Even though we are now 3 quarters through the 2016-17 financial year, only 23,021 invitations have been issued for 189 visas, or 48% of the total planning level. Similarly for the 489 family sponsored subclass, the planning level is currently 200 per round, or an annual total of 4,800, but only 1,082 invitations have been issued - a lowly 23% of the total. The reason for the shortfall is that applicants in pro rata occupations (see below) are currently very unlikely to receive invitations for 489 family sponsored visas - the 189 program has priority for these occupations. Pro Rata Occupations The situation is quite different for occupations which are on the "pro rata" list. These are occupations where more eligible EOIs (Expressions of Interest) are being lodged than there are places available in the occupational ceiling. The maximum number of invitations for such occupations is limited each round, resulting in a higher minimum points for an invitation or a longer waiting time for invitation. Accountants and Auditors are the most difficult occupations - they currently require 70 points for an invitation, and waiting times for an invitation are quite long even with this score (3-6 months). All IT SOL occupations are on the pro rata list as well and require 65 points for an invitation. ICT Business and System Analysts are currently waiting 31 weeks for an invitation with 65 points, but the situation is much better for Computer Network Professionals (6 weeks) and Software and Applications Programmers (4 weeks). There are a number of engineering specialisations on the pro rata list - most require 65 points for an invitation, but electronics engineers have oscillated between 60 and 65 points in the last few months. Some of these occupations were added fairly late in the program year and are currently very close to being filled - Other Engineering Professionals are 96% filled and Industrial, Mechanical and Production Engineers are 93% filled. The 1 March round was interesting in that double the usual number of pro-rata invitations were issued - this suggests that the program is low on numbers and that Immigration is seeking to fill more places. If the higher number of pro-rata occupations continues, it would mean that the occupational ceilings for pro rata occupations may be met well before the end of the program year. As a result, points and/or waiting times may reduce in the short term, but there may be a period of a month or two where invitations are not issued in some occupations. State Nomination Update A number of states and territories have tightened up their state nomination requirements for 190 and 489 visas. For instance, Western Australia has this week announced that it has suspended 190 and 489 nominations pending a review of the WASMOL. This may be a consequence of the recent state election in WA. ACT recently suspended state nominations for offshore applicants - nomination is now only available for those living in the ACT. Victoria previously sponsored IT professionals quite actively but has suspended these occupations until the new financial year. Despite these changes, state nomination remains a very effective way to improve your eligibility for skilled migration. Figures from February show that there are a significant number of state nominations being issued (1,578 for the month in total), with NSW, South Australia and Victoria still very active in sponsoring for General Skilled Migration. Conclusion The General Skilled Migration program certainly appears to be behind planning levels. Much will depend on the Department of Immigration's reaction to this. Options they could consider would be: Raising the occupational ceiling for pro rata occupations - this would meet the program and result in lower points requirements for an invitation Relaxing the restriction on pro rata occupations applying for family sponsored 489s - this would probably still not meet the planning level for the program, but would be a boon for people with permanent resident relatives in Australia Do nothing - in this case, we can expect the number of pro rata invitations to be increased in the short term to attempt to get closer to program numbers If you would like advice on your likely eligibility for migration to Australia, please book a consultation with one of the numerous contributors on this thread Source: https://www.acacia-au.com/skillselect-and-state-nomination-update-March-2017.php 5 Likes

@kingbukaz Although it wasn't me you quoted but I might be able to give some answers. The outcome of result varies from assessing body to assessing body. You need to scan through the website of the one that concerns your intended occupation in order to ascertain this. As for whether they call to verify, I'm not sure but DIBP does. Either a call or e-mail |

Result of IELTS of 4th March, 2017 have just been released. I had a near perfect score which recently expired. Surprisingly, my scores in this latest test is unbelievable, it is ridiculous. How can one go from LRWS 8/9/8/8.5 to 7/6.5/7/6.5 in just about 2 years? Please note that I lived in the UK for the better part of those 2 year period. "I'm not understanding". Is someone there cooking up scores? If that is the case then IELTS in Nigeria is a scam. |
