Kk. I believe I'm good to go. My only grouse with the 489 visa class, is the 10 - 15 months processing time.
Can I get the link to those job descriptions you screenshot please? Need to review them properly. Thanks a lot.

Forget that timeline on average it can take 7months processing time no be problem outcome. They have direct grant too

189 has 9-14months timeline as well.

Good Morning,
For General Migration Skills Assessment as a Professional Engineer at EA, do I have to pay Australian Accredited Engineering Qualification assessment fees and Standard Competence Demonstration Report assessment fees?
Please I need comprehensive clarifications. Thank you.

189 has 9-14months timeline as well.

Funny thing is majority will come back in 4months if there is no need for CO contact.

I need help too pls
My case is this:
My background is Agric Engineering (B.Eng)...2years work experience as an Agric Engineer.
Safety Engineering (MSc) UK. 8+ years work experience as a site/project safety engineer..(2 years UK and 6 years Nigeria).
Please, how do I tailor my CDR?
Does the EA do verification (I intend to use Agric Engineering as 10 years experience)??

please the great minds/thinkers in the house should kindly advice me/guide me pls.

Now I must say, you do have a good shot at the process with your experience in employment. While the only issue will be that if you assess as Agricultural Engineer, you will have to hustle ITA with "Other Engineering professional" on 189 and it's pro rata with limited states sponsoring the occupation on 190/489. If you can meet up 80 points for 189, then by all means go forrit.

Secondly, the MSc you did in UK, was there any particular specialisations? Your experience as project/site safety engineer, what kind of projects were they? CIVIL or MECH inclined or which other?

JosephLaoye:
Jayooh, thanks so much and God bless u.
Please I need clarification on payments for Migration skilled assessment payment at EA as a professional Engineer.
My question is how many times do I have to pay before my document will be assessed and how much.
Thank you.

You only pay once depending on the kind of service required, standard CDR + fast track will be approx 1100AUD but if u are assessing experience then it goes a bit higher. Please download the current MSA booklet from Engineers Australia website for up to date fees

Thanks alot for the contribution/advice. I appreciate.

My MSc was in Safety and reliability engineering....and my 6years work experience in Nigeria has been mainly mechanical engineering.

Can I put Agric Engineering and use mechanical engineering as my work experience??

It's good to have options lol, You can go to EA or to VETASSESS
234112 Agricultural Scientist Competent Plus English (or Proficient overall); Offshore applicants Provisional 489 visa only VETASSESS
311111 Agricultural Technician Competent Plus English (or Proficient overall); Provisional 489 visa only VETASSESS
Agricultural Scientist 234112(some NSW regions)

Or You go to EA. A couple of states want Engineers as well as Agric.. professionals. Depending on how quick you can get your Nig. Transcript to Vetassess you can apply for their priority processing($1600 10 days assessment is finalised) same with almost what you will spend for EA which can take time. When the assessment is out depending on you and other factors such as English.. For 489 you get 10 more points so all you are looking for is to land yourself on 65 points inclusive of the 10. For EA you will be hoping to get nominated by a state 190 which is really competitive now or 189 If you can bag 8,8,8,8 then you are safe. In conclusion, if you get get a superior then follow EA, if not maybe try other options which are easier and quicker.

Ok. thanks alot for this insight. I appreciate.

So My first degree (Agric Engineer) can fly as Agric scientist and agric technician?

Hello everyone,

Any response please. Very urgent

Hello people,

Going through the points table for Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190), I can't see any sub-category for Masters under academic qualification.
What category can I select please knowing that I have Msc?

Also, what does the skill assessment entail? I have gone through but still can't figure out what I'm to do. From what I read, it's supposed to be very important.

I fear that I may be in a similar position. BSc Applied Microbiology and 10 years banking experience.

I'm torn between filling for 222311 (which currently best matches my job profile) and the Customer service manager. Does the inclusion of non-degree professional qualifications matter?

What do you think VETASSESS may readjust my work experience to? Thanks.

Cc: Bellong, Mamajaz

222311 is a Skill Level 1 occupation. So if you did not finish from a Tier 1 Nigerian University or a 5 year course, you will probably get a negative assessment from Vetassess. It's not currently nominated by any state except SA which has it on Special condition.

Customer Service Manager is a level 2 occupation.
Choose the one that best fit your occupation and degree to avoid a waste of money with Vetassess.

steakchips:


1. So if the degree is not highly relevant most time they will cut 2yrs post to give you a positive assessment. some cases are different but not with the jobs I have listed. so Degree no matter na work experience in this your case.

2. Just refrence letter from HR or your manager stating your details, employment date(s), roles, contact details etc.

From recent outcomes, Vetassess deducts 3 years from experience if qualification is not highly relevant to nominated occupation. You can also check the Anzsco website and expatforum

You need to state your occupation and a bit of your profile to enable us understand your enquiry.

'In some cases but not for skill level 2 jobs I stand to be corrected, if you do skill level 1 most times dey are strict and will cut 3yrs

Good morning my good people.

Please, I need to get cleared on this;
In a situation where a family is granted Australian PR visa, Can the principal applicant enter Australia first, while his family join much later before the expiration of initial entry date? I just feel it's wise for the Principal applicant to move ahead of the rest members of the family to atleast prepare the way for others due to uncertainties with job and cost of settling down.

Well for me i feel its better everyone goes once....2 heads are better than one in terms of jobs. From what i see from their job sites, there is so much jobs.

Yeah very advisable, Imagine trying to secure accommodation for family while offshore etc. Come in first settle, then bring them unless you have someone willing to assist you.

If you all come together especially with kids you stand the chance of getting government benefits because of your children ( if you are PR), you can also all apply for citizenship at same time, also you have a higher chance if two adults are looking for job than just one person. I understand your fear because I was in your shoes about 2 years ago but I am happy I moved in with family at once, as long as you have some money to survive first few months and also if you are open minded and do not mind taking up menial jobs pending when your main job land.
Having said that, if your spouse have a high paying job in naija( say 500k per month), then it might make sense for you to come in and settle down before your spouse resign and join you.
Please do not quote me as my advise is simply based on my personal experience and might be different in your case.

Yes, it is permitted for any of the applicants to go first. The other applicants on the grant can go anytime within the validity of the initial entry date.

Except you have a family or friend to stay with temporarily, it is better one person go ahead to get accommodation and other things settled before subjecting kids to the troubles of settling down.

except your spouse does not possess ability to work, that's the only way this will make sense.
because leaving a family back here still means you will provide money for their upkeep? abi?
We have seen cases where it was even the partner that got the better job first.
At the end of the day, think it well.

@ stepo707,@steakchips,@tunai@,@bellong,@trastar, Many thanks to all of you. You guys are wonderful.

Sorry I'm quoting you just needed clarification.

Does this mean that if your kids come later on you won't get the benefits if there's any?

Hi guys, my name is Olajide a graduate of Electrical Engineering and works as a Electrical Fitter for 5years+ and want to do my skill assessment through TRA and a friend told me that I will need to goto South Africa or Zimbabwe to complete the assessment. I did a search on their website for the requirements and to my surprise the same condition apply to Fitter General and Electrical Fitter. And my friend is a Fitter General. Please I need to know if I really need to travel to complete the assessment.
