This is only a rough estimate pls largely dependent on Assessing body & Conversion rate. U can just budget the following. U might spend less than or a little more for 1 applicant
Assessment: 300,000
English test: 70,000
Visa:1,000,000
Medicals: 50,000
PCC: 5000
Miscellaneous: 100,000 (rewriting english or processing transcripts, scanning etc

So roughly, less than 1,500,000 if all goes well.

teewhysafe:

Okay. How did you arrive at 15 point for Experience. Hope you have also deducted the compulsory 1 year VETASESS removes from total years of experience (that's even assuming they really like you ).
Yeah a positive assessment from VETASESS is key to the whole process. Try packaging your application with a well detailed job description of an Agricultural consultant. Tips can be gotten from the Anszco code description.
Also attach as much evidence as possible from your employers.

In this case, you are submitting for 2 employers right? Employment letter, Confirmation, Reference letter etc. should be on company letter head please. As Bellong advised, submitting the company's registration & other evidence that it truly exist helps to ascertain the believability of the company since there is no website and also ensure your referees are well prepared to vouch for you in-case of verification.

Do you at least have a payslip/pension document you can submit or even a bank statement that shows inflow from these companies? It helps if some of the documents provided are externally generated e.g. bank statement, pension/tax documents.

If not, still try generating payslips and getting the right stamps/signatures for it.

Hope this helps.

From a fellow biochemist, its unfortunate Biochemistry is no longer on the list. It was eligible about 2 years ago for 190 only sponsored by SA but no more. Any occupation you nominate will require at least a qualification in a relevant field or 5years in lieu of experience. Not sure this even applies to all occupations

blaze007:
Hello Bellong,

Just a quick one, Will ACS call d owner or sum1 else at my company apart from the contact details I provided on my refrencence letter and 3rd party decorations?

jazinogold:
cost of sending transcript to vetassess? n how much to verify the result wen vetassess contact my school

SilaV:
Good job you guys are doing in the house, here. Please,I am having a question concerning the information concerning Partner Skills. Does it mean that all the listed conditions under it must be fulfilled before one can get the 5 points under this category.

toyinana:


Thank you so much, have been anxiously waiting for a response.

Okey, now what do you feel I can now apply for?

Having a vast experience in marketing but no academic back up for it, do you think I can apply for a marketing specialist?

Experience in marketing is over 8 years.

Meanwhile I have a company registration which outsource cleaning personnel to banking industry, can this be of help in any way?

.

teewhysafe:

We spent 20k in 2016 to send to Vetassess from Minna. Not sure of rate now and its also dependent on courier used.
I dont understand your second question.

bellong:


Write your CDR as a chemical engineer. I believe you should be able to. There is similarity between petroleum and chemical.

If you write a convincing chemical engineering CDR, you should get a professional engineer.

BKings:
IELTS or PTE?

odigiri1983:
Good day all,please i need your advise.I want to make application for skill assessment with Engineers Australia .My question is can I go ahead to submit my application for assessment without test of English?

korlahwarleh:
Good morning SIRs and MAs.
Please I have few questions and I'll be glad if people with maybe similar experience can make time out from their busy schedule to assist.
I already have my positive assessment with EA (experience wasn't assessed) since March this year, and I'm planning to rewrite my PTE in two week's time.
My questions........
1. Due to present situation of things, I want to apply for both Visa 489 and 189, as I'm currently at 55 points, but hopefully this will rise to 65 and probably 70 with experience. Am I to do this with the same EOI or separate EOIs for both? If separate, should I use my second email to register for the other one? Lastly, Is having more than one EOIs an offence?
[/b] You can create separate EOIs for the different visa subclasses you are applying for. It is not an offence.
You can use same email address for all EOIs, no issues.[b]

2. Also, I graduated in 2014, but I have just worked as a professional Engineer since December 2016. However, in my current workplace, I was an engineer intern from June, 2015 before I became a full staff (Only have appointment letter to show for this since I was paid by hand, at times not paid at all self). However, I have every documents for the full time position, more than they can ask for even. My question is, can I get 5 points with this experience?

[/b] Key here is to ensure that the employment reference letters you will submit is in line with the Job title on the contract letter you will submit as well. You employment claims are most likely going to come under a lot of scrutiny by DHA at the visa application stage as you did not do relevant skilled employment assessment with EA. Please take what i have just shared with you very seriously[b]

Let me stop here for now. Thanks so much in anticipation of your answers.

bellong:


I don't think so. They can contact the HR if they are unable to get through to the contact on your reference.

piusford:

I am stuck about the payment. If paying online, am I to transfer the money after the documents get to them or when it's still in transit? Pls I need reply ASAP. Tnx

As regards your question, go to aims website and follow instructions. It's easy.
You need your academic transcript, degree result, not less than two years work experience in the position with proofs, such as payslips, reference letter from current employment and previous employers, and an assessment fee receipt.

bellong:
@Milkytins,

You cannot get partner's point from your wife. The occupation must be on the same list as per subclass level.

bellong:


I believe work experience is very important for TRA assessment.

He can assess as an electrical engineering Drafts person with Engineer Australia. He doesn't need experience, he only needs to write a CDR.

jazinogold:
Thanks for the response...actually, I learnt vetassess will message my school to verify the transcript result sent, and school will require a fee before verification on result.

teewhysafe:


I really can't advise on the best occupation. As for Marketing specialist. Confirm first if its on the list. Then visit the Assessing body. Read up on the requirements/condition for the positive assessment of the occupation. This will advise you of your eligibility. I really do not see how your company registration can help you becos its also not related to Marketing.

mamajaz:

Well done sis. Thanks for taking time out of your tight schedules to give back to the community. I've been having issue with certifying some stuffs. Not sure again, but I think I learnt from the first forum that when your documents are in coloured forms no certification is needed. Is this so, or I just misunderstood the info shared then?
Second concern is to all Vetasses successfuls, does Vetasses consider part time works for positive skill assessment?

stepo707:

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

toyinana:


Thanks for taking out time from your busy schedules to pay attention to my worries.

I took out time to read up requirements for marketing specialist under vetasses but the more I looked the less I saw, I got more confused as I was referred to the Australia home affairs site where a table was displayed with caveat caption. I really didn't understand the whole thing, I wish I can post pix of what I meant probably you would have been of great help.

odigiri1983:

Hello @teewhysafe, please, I need help in assessing my realistic chances for skilled immigration to Australia with the following points and profile.

Age: (25 points)
Education: (20 points)(ANZSCO
Code) - 133111 - Construction Project Manager
IELTS: L8.0, S7.5, W7.5, R7.5 (10 points??)/I could put in for PTE to get 20 points if necessary.
Work: 3yrs+ (5 Points)

My main question is that I have a 5yr degree, MSc both in Estate Management, and a PhD in Construction and Project Mgt all earned in Nigeria Universities.

With these qualifications what are my chances for a positive assessment with Vettasses for Construction Project Manager, with a 3yr+ work experience as a Construction Manager with almost identical job description with (ANZSCO Code) - 133111 - Construction Project Manager?

Thank you for your help in advance.

fakmurphy:
Hi everyone, thanks for the wonderful job of sharing informations here. Please, I need your advice and suggestions, 1'm 34 yrs old, married with 2 kids,presently a property manager (I own a real estate management business with my wife for nearly 3yrs), my highest educational qualification is Msc (Real Estate Management and Investment 2015). Prior to my Msc, I had a Bachelor degree in Teacher Education/Physics.

Here is my situation, I'm planning to apply for Canadian PR via express entry pool, and thinking of the probability of shooting 2 birds with one stone (Although I prefer Australia because of the weather), but the process and procedure of the Aussie own seems not too straightforward like the Canada, I'll like great people here to use my situation in the first paragraph in advising me. I will be glad to know if my my occupation is listed on Australian skill list?,if yes, how do I go about about the assessment and application?, and any other advice.

I'm asking these questions because of confusing and conflicting information I have read about the Australia stuff. Thanks for your assistance.

suzzyallen:
Hello, I'm a silent reader. I just want to encourage other people by sharing my PR journey as I have also equally learnt a lot from other people's experinces. My family and I decided to apply for Aussie PR in 2016. In March 2017, due to hubby's IELTS score (L8S7W7R9), he couldn't get up to 60 points to apply for 189. So, we decided to apply for NSW 190 visa, and to our surprise, we received ITA in 2 weeks. Lodged visa on May 10, 2017 and did PCC and Medicals a 16days after following CO contact.

We were very hopeful that we would receive the grant latest September 2017 as the process seemed to be moving fast for us. It wasn't easy waking up everyday checking email with the hope of getting the golden email. It was so emotionally draining. However, instead of the grant, we got a Natural Justice email in October 17, 2017. It was not a happy moment . Apparently, the HR of my husband's company made a mistake with his date of birth while responding to DIBP during employment verification. They gave a wrong year of birth but correct date and month of birth reducing his age by almost 10 years in comparison with his real age. This casted a big shadow on the genuineness of my husband's claimed employment. So, DIBP wanted him to prove that his claimed employment was not phony. They also wanted clarify some other issues with his letter of reference and his pay slip.

We contacted a MARA agent for a way forward as we were confused about what to do. The agent requested for AUD4500, which we couldn't afford at the time. We then decided to respond on our own with God on our side. Thankfully, hubby's HR agreed to rectify the mistake and sent DIBP a mail to that effect. On our own, we came up with and submitted a 64-page response with evidence supporting the genuineness of his employment in November 10, 2017.

In January, 2018 my hubby suggested that we explore Canadian PR since we had not heard from DIBP following submission of NJL response in November. I wrote IELTS in Feb 2018 but verification of my credentials took a while so I entered the pool in April, 2018. Received ITA in May 2018 (at this time, our mind was off Aussie PR as we were trying to gather documents for Canadian PR visa application).
On June 12, we were contacted by Aussie COto redo PCC and Medicals ####HOPE RENEWED.

Morning of July 6, 2018 as I was preparing for work, hubby suddenly screamed "granted". I was startled, then he showed me the golden email.
IED 29th November, 2018. It was like a dream. After 13 months of waiting, we thank God, PR LANDED.
Just to encourage everyone that there is hope after NJL.

Now on to the next phase Have 3 months to pack. Sydney here I come.........

DottaofGod:
God is indeed great! Plz a cousin of mine has been in great pains due to the NJL she received. Was asked to comment in writing. However she is in the process of fetching supporting docs but confused on what it means to send her response in writing.Does it mean she ll have to type, printout and sign her comment before uploading (YES) or what? Secondly, ll she have to also include the previous documents she sent during the visa application alongside the new evidence?
Please I will welcome your suggestion,pls
Thank you
