Good day everyone in the house. I have been following this thread from part 1 (although I didn’t finish because the thread is too long) and I have some questions. We want to use my husband as principal applicant
Age: 33
Education: Bsc Electical and Electronics Engineering
Years of experience: 7+ NYSC 8
English test: not yet
His work experience is in telecommunications site management, now he’s a regional manager in the same job. We don’t know what profession to use. And what states to apply to. Q Secondly, someone said I shouldn’t bother with Australian pr that it costs about 2.5mill for application. Can someone please confirm or refute this claim

2.5 million ke, how?

2.5 million for Visa application if you have a family of 4-5, yes.
But this is what i always say to people, the process is such that your victories are in stages and the fee for the smaller victories isnt that much.
English test is a victory-cost about 55k
EA assessment another victory- the most important hurdle to cross -cost about 300k (if i am not mistaken).
By the time you have spent this almost 500k and you are receiving the good news of ITA.
Like a letter from Australia saying "Madam, you are eligible, pay for visa"- 2.5M will be the least of your worries.
Its like being pregnant and going into labour-the joy of what comes after labour is too big compared to the pain of labour.

On the issue of what to assess as, the truth is, you really need to read the thread.
I am also hoping our engineers in the house can help.
Also, you may want to wait with assessment for now. New occupation list will be out in July.
wait to see whats on it before applying.

For option 1, you still need a reference letter

Primary Documents
Reference letter on official company letterhead to:
1.1 Indicate 5 main duties undertaken, job title or position;
1.2 Indicate the exact period of employment (commencement and
completion dates);
1.3 Be endorsed by the manager/direct supervisor/HR Section (with
official telephone & email address);
1.4 Indicate full or part-time with number of work hours;
1.5 Pay rate;
1.6 Include the company’s stamp if applicable.

And include one of this two
Secondary Documents (either 2 OR 3)
2.1 Income Tax Return Acknowledgement or Receipt;
2.2 Social Security Insurance/ Superfund/ Provident Fund/ Retirement
Contribution Statement Reports.

You can back up your bank statements and payslips with your pension statement of account.

For your workplace, one reference letter is okay.
For each workplace provide:
• organisation name and location, including contact
details
• dates and duration of employment
• title of position occupied by you
• your defined role (provide a duty or appointment
statement where available) and/or a brief description of
your activities

You can back up your bank statements and payslips with your pension statement of account and tax certificate.

Include online MOOCs that are relevant to your profession.

Hello guys,

I have some questions. For EA:

1. Do I still need an employment/offer letter even when I'm going with an option 1 reference letter (as in the EA MSA doc)?

2. If I worked with a company for 2 separate periods (with the same job descriptions), do I need just one reference letter for that?

3. What happens if I have access to only bank statements and pay slips to prove employment? What are other employment evidence combinations can I use?

4. Are online MOOCs and study for Cisco exams of any use for CPD? I reckon they would come under private study and short courses respectively

Thank you

Does my long post here get anyone wondering whether I talk too much in real life?
I actually don't.
I write more than I speak.

*Just to be clear, in case anyone is wondering*

Many thanks for your response, stifo2012.

Just to clarify, I know that I do need a reference letter for option 1. Are you saying that I need an offer/employment letter as well?

Getting a TCC and/or Pension Statement may be difficult for me

For TRA, I know someone that successfully used bank statements and pay slips. I wonder why EA is unnecessarily difficult.

Can someone apply with a diploma from Aptech with 2yrs of work experience?

@trastar, I'm sure no one is thinking about that.....You're doing a great job.

Don't think you need the employment offer once u have got the reference letter stamped on company's letterhead.

You can try getting the TCC at FIRS by paying an amount and explain to EA that your company is not enrolled on any pension scheme and if you can get your coy to print your pay slip for you on d letterhead as well that should help.

Hi everyone. I work as a teacher in a govt secondary school. I am married with a kid. I av bsc in computer science education and masters degree in computer science education. I want to apply for Australia skilled worker permanent residence. Pls how do I go abt it. Thank u everyone. What are the requirements?

BAMZ . Are you assessing your experience with EA?

Thanks, fatima04. I hope that amount won't empty my account . I'm looking at 5yrs.

Yes, verocharles.

No trastar.you always explain things clearly and easy for one to understand.
You might consider lecturing in Australian University.They pay good salaries

Software Engineer

From personal experience, ACS will assess your APTECH diploma to AQF Advanced Diploma qualification. You'll still need a university course added to achieve Bachelor qualifications. Depending on your nominated occupation, your transcript details and work experience details, they might equate your work experience as part of your qualifications.

Long story short, the best you can expect from them is Advanced Diploma equivalent. The way you package your work experience in relation to role will determine positive/negative assessment.

Hope this helps.

Aub430:
They got me confused by asking for these:

Certified copy English Language Test
Certified copy of Skills Assessment
And more...

I will probably upload the soft copies I have.

Thank you.

Are you applying 489 to FSC? They ask for certified everything and they're notorious; if it's not certified, they'll reject your application after 3 months with no refund. Please find a way around it if you can.

Guys what are the implications of having two submitted applications with vetassess. The 1st application hasn't been paid for while the second has been paid for.

Please can anyone tell me how long it takes an Australian Visa to come out? And how to check or track it, just to confirm someone's statements on argument. Thanks

I actually did a thorough search for you and nothing came up for Industrial Chemistry.
You have a master's degree, your chances are better with Canada, have you considered that option?

which of the Australian Visa?

Employment letter is not necessary.

You can get your tax clearance from the state revenue board, though you will have to pay some money.

Can I address letter coming from my company to EA or DIBP as "TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN". I don't want my direct Head of Department and Human Resources manager to know about my migration to Australia. Please can I use "TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN" or I must address it to EA/DIBP direct.

My question goes thus : Why submit 2 applications?
Are the applications of the same skill?
Are the applications of different documentation back up?


Because, am aware you can always complete your initial application and pay. I am still wondering why you submitted 2 applications. I would be glad if the aforementioned questions can be answered to that effect. Thanks

hello gurus in the house. please how true is this?.
I deferred my July 2018 admission to Oct 2018, so that I can meet up with d docs requested. someone in Aussie told me the date is not good for int. student, in d sense day u won't have enough time or no time to work.

to whom it may concern is fine

After the first application was submitted, before i payment i noticed from thorough research that my qualification was not highly relevant to my selected occupation, so i started a new application with a new selected occupation which i feel should get me a positive assessment

The application aren't same skills but closely related

Same back up, just different letter for statement of service.

cuteyem:


Lol...well thanks. Your theory seems like a nice one... but i think i will give it a shot. It depends on how well we can prove that she has gained that experience in her teaching role. So i intend to show in the CV, details of relevant practical training and other stuff. Also she taught practicals and managed thes school farm, which could also pass for relevant experience. I think we can give it a try

I have a colleague who read estate management with only one year (NYSC) experience in the estate department of a polythecnic. He was able to get Vetassess to give him a positive assessment by packaging his reference letter and other documents well. So i think we can follow suit

Hello Cuteyem,

How far with your application?

Good evening house, please your suggestion is needed. hubby has bsc Med rehab from Oau and has been practising as physio. Do u know any Nigeria trained physio who assessed as an occupational therapist?what other options do we have? APC condition for assessing physio isn't favourable ,IELTS result is ready .thank you

VETASSES will only reckon with an application you made payment for. If you have not paid for the other one, you have nothing to worry about.
