@JoyceVince,

Congratulations. Enjoy the Great Southland.

@Quinhade,

Use the ANZSCO job descriptions. If you align your job descriptions with that of ANZSCO, you will be fine.

5years ago i spent a semester (ND1) at lagos state poly and sat for the first semester exam . i didn't sit for second semester exam._{problem identified}
this is what i have in addition. i have been running a computer business centre for over 10 years now
PLEASE what are my chances?

Use bow & arrow effect. For you to go forward, you have to move back first to take off.
My own idea was birthed since 2015; got rejected for study and have now graduated in Naija.

If they don't want me as an Immigrant, they will have to accept me as one of them.

Use study route. They said a couple of years of experience in some occupation can get you positive outcome, but I for 0ne believes that you have to tender something. At all-at all.

You are correct bro well stated!

transcript is a collection of exam results taken by the student and that is why you can request for it anytime during the school year. even if its just a semester, you can request for transcript

certificate is an award for completion of degree

Hello House ,
i would like to know an HND holder in Electrical/Electronic Engineering but has experience in Biomedical field, what psot would be the best to apply for under Australia PR Visa

with the little i know of Australia and their visa types, i am sure this is a scam, i have never read or heard anywhere that Australian immigration department will convert work visa at the point of entry.

Good day house, its been a great pleasure reading through the previous pages, and i must confess that its been tremendously encouraging and educative, may God take us all to our promise land. Please I am confused about my situation and i will appreciate some inputs. I have HND in Science laboratory tech, and i've worked with one FG laboratory for the past 10 years, although i started as an office assistant, but i went back to school for my OND after which i was promoted to the level of an assistant lab technologist 5 years ago. After completing my HND, i was given promotion to the cadre of a lab technologist just last year. Now my point of confusion is, can I assess as a lab technologist/scientist using my 5 years experience as an assistant lab technologist, or i should just opt for my 1year + experience as a lab technologist.
* Note that the job specifications are not very different just that, as an assistant i was assisting the technologist in all lab work.
please i'll appreciate any help i can get as am thinking of pitching my tent with the 491iers.

Good morning my people. I'm in a dilemma concerning work documentation.

My first work experience was in a one man business but it was also in my field of study. I was there for three years but was paid in cash all through my time there.

Which supporting documents do I need to tender. Bear in mind that I have an appointment letter.

Please I'll be glad if anyone can put me through.

I believe that there's finance in the skill select and it is in Short Term Occupation List (STOL)/(ROL), and only available for 190 sponsored or so.

You should go through Anzsco search to study about it more.
If it will be tough, you might aswell look into Canny route.
You have a chance

491 visa details are here and Gold Coast and Perth are added to regional:

I love this. Those regional areas are quite amazing. Imagine calling Newcastle, Gold coast , Sunshine coast and Geelong regional areas. Those places are as amazing as Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. I think I will prefer those regional areas walai.

The good thing about this visa 491 is that; one is not restricted to one region. This means, one can decide to move to any regional area of any state as far it is not Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. This is more than amazing!

Look for Skill level 2 occupation that relates to your hnd and experience then do the assessment

iambigX:

491 owns the point as it is designed to push those who can’t reach the basic 65 to the regional areas. If the point apply across others, the general point would change from 65. There are several people within that are hanging on student visa at 60points, so they are trying to make it easier for them while they move to the regions

Mcslize:


Before now, people claim partner points for all the visa types 189, 190 and 489. So, why will claiming point for being single only be for visa 491? It is a across board. It can't be for only 491 alone. If you can claim partner point for 491, a single person now has the opportunity to do same across all the visa types. They are trying to give equal playing field for everyone. I know that's where your doubt is. Claiming point based on your marital status can't be for just one visa type. Partner points had always been claimed for all the visa types right from time. It is that same opportunity they are about to give single individuals so they won't be left off. And it is across board.

Moreso, my occupation is not available for 489 that is about to be substituted with the 491. Mine is skill level 1. It's only available for 189 and 190. It is even only NSW that's nominating it for now.

The new changes were posted here by a member sometime ago. I think it was gotten from the immigration website. You can read it on their site.

Have you actually taken time to go through the new changes that will take effect from November? You are still very much in doubt I understand.

I once doubted until I went straight to the immigration website to read it up. They just can't put up something like that if they won't implement it. Will they really do that? That's my thought. So you see, that 10 points is not borrowed. It is what immigration put on their website. That's the right source you can confirm it from.

It should be a good news to everyone, so that those whose occupations may not be on the 491, will still have something to fall back on. Definitely, if my occupation appears on 491, I will apply for it as well. Any one that comes quicker will be the one I will go for. But even at that, not all occupations will show in the 491 list.

You are right. They are trying to push people to the regional areas that is why visa 491 comes with 15 points when nominated.

The addtional 10 points that is based on your marital status is constant and it applies to the 3 major visas. There is a point that has been introduced/assigned to your marital status whether single or married which is the 10 points. As far as you have a partner that had assessed his/her occupation and have a competent English, you won't say you can't claim the 10 points simply because you are applying for 190 and not 491. You get? I do believe that's what you are trying to say.

I still stand with the fact that it is not only those applying for 491 that can claim applicants marital status points; the 10 points. That's not true to the best of my knowledge. The 10 points is constant and it's across board. As far as you meet the criteria to claim it, irrespective of whichever visa you are applying for, you can always claim it. It is not introduced only for 491.

The only thing that may occur will be pushing the minimum points from 65 to 70 which the 10 points already catered for.

[please i need someone to look into my issue Cc Bellong, DoDirtsLikeWorm and all the gurus in the house, please help a sister.

magnolia4,

What was your job role for the period of five years? What exactly did you do in the lab? Your reply will attract the right answer to your question.

However, I think you can apply as a Medical Laboratory Technician not scientist.

Thanks, it is a science analytical laboratory and my job specifications include but not limited to analysis of food, drugs, cosmetics, medical devices, industrial samples, sample and data collection, writing reports and so on. And like I said, I was an assistant Laboratory officer before being promoted to a science officer last year. The only difference is in the job title

First, we don't know which of the lab you referring. We have different lab jobs. Is it a Medical lab or Engineering lab that you worked in?

Yes the new point system cuts accross all the visa class.
10pts Marital status points also cuts accross.
However ITA points will go up even they still peg base point at 65 (although this is likely to go to 65/70/75 ....491/190/189

Hi,We are in the same space.Still new here.I had earlier sent you an email request, plz kindly reply.Thank you

DoDirtsLikeWorm:


This, I always believe applies to 491 only until proven otherwise.

For 189 & 190, I am not that too sure about this single 10points that y'all have been borrowing.

the new point system is for all skilled visa subclass 189, 190 and 491.

Good day everyone,
This thread has been very informative, I'm sorry for asking a question that may have been previously answered, but I need clarification on a few things.

- My first degree (Architecture) was from a private university and second degree(Landscape architecture) from Unilag, practising for over 3 years in the same field I studied in(Landscape architecture), does anyone know the likely outcome of my skills assessment?

- What kind of documents does VETASSESS request from you? do they request transcripts for your education assessment?

Thanks.

You can assess as a Landscape architect with Vetassess with your Masters degree
Vetassess request for transcript for your assessment. visit their website to read all the requirements.
