Hello House, I'm a software engineer with over 5 years of professional experience, but my university degree is in an unrelated field. I do have a diploma in computer networking. I've heard that ACS can give a positive skills assessment based on substantial work experience even without a computer science degree, as the experience can substitute for formal education. Has anyone here gone through ACS assessment with a similar background? I'd appreciate hearing about your experience and outcome |

N2B2: This will be my last message about this - Again, I am in agreement with you, and I am wrong but not totally wrong, so I will say this, please don't share your information like skype or phone number before the contract starts if the reason why you are sharing it is to communicate off upwork, but if the client is requesting to send documents or information to your email for the sole purpose of kickstarting the contract, please provide your email and don't lose the job like that OP did. The links and screenshot below shows the common sense I was talking about, It is not in the policy but you can see various s confirming that in specific situations, you can share your information like email Also, upwork added these exceptions in an article here: https://.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/360051749534--Information-Sharing https://community.upwork.com/t5/New-to-Upwork/Client-shared-their--information-before-the-contract-has/m-p/969569 1 Like |

N2B2:You are absolutely right; it's in their policy, and I wouldn't advise anyone here to violate Upwork's policy. What I will say is that sometimes it might be appropriate to use common sense. The client in the screenshot below secured me the highest hourly paying job I've had on Upwork. As you can see from the screenshot, her response to my proposal was to arrange a Zoom call. Am I going to say this is against Upwork's policy? Absolutely not. Why? She has spent more than $1.2 million on Upwork. Her hire rate is 90%. She has hired over 200 freelancers. She has been uwork since 2009. It's highly likely that she has sent Zoom links to everyone she has hired recently. Did Upwork ban them? I don't think so. Will Upwork ban me because I didn't point out this issue to a top-tier client who has been using the platform since 2009 long before I even ed ? I don't believe so. Perhaps I would have lost this job if I had prolonged the conversation, insisting on uwork's call feature. In conclusion, common sense is important. If your is new and you have a history of always initiating calls off Upwork, then you might be at a greater risk of being banned. Regarding NDAs, this same client sent me an NDA and other documents via the email I provided her during the Zoom call we had (as seen in the second screenshot). 2 Likes |

N2B2: You will never loose your over communicating off upwork, if your is under review it is because they suspect that you took the job off upwork, its not because you are communicating off upwork. The reason why they suggest that you do all communication on upwork is because they know it can lead to you taking the job off upwork. Regarding sharing document on upwork, there are specific confidential documents client might not be comfortable sharing with you on upwork. Below is me telling a client ( before being hired) that I prefer to use google meet over upwork call. I have done this over and over again and never have my been suspended. 1 Like |

Jaycobbs: There is nothing wrong with sharing your email to receive documents, infact, I share not just my email but my skype information everytime and nothing happens, the most important thing is that when it comes to time of the client hiring you, it happens on upwork. 1 Like |

Hi House, my wife and baby finally ed me in yesterday. Here is our timeline: I booked a family reunion appointment on June 28th, 2022, thinking that once I arrived in and obtained a Blue Card, the embassy would be comionate (knowing my wife was pregnant) and fast-track her appointment, but this did not happen. In November, we decided to try our luck by booking another appointment for her under the Skilled Immigration Act visa category. She went for the appointment but was turned away by Mr. [you know who]. I made several attempts to see if her appointment could be fast-tracked, but the embassy told me point-blank that it was not going to happen. We accepted our fate and decided to wait. After my wife gave birth, we got our little guy his port and emailed the embassy. They confirmed that they had added him to my wife's appointment. On August 28th, 2023, my wife and baby finally got an appointment for September 20th, 2023. oOn October 23rd, I received an email from ABH asking me to submit documents (prior to this, I had called BVA to inquire about the stage of my family's application). I submitted the documents via email two days later, on October 25th. The next day, October 26th, I received a response saying they had agreed to issue my family's visa and that it was now up to the embassy in Nigeria to approve it (I forwarded this email to the embassy in Nigeria). On October 31st, the embassy in Nigeria asked us to submit ports and a travel date. They did this the next day and received their stamped visas on November 6th. I noticed post-appointment, our timeline was a bit fast, this is because lawyer verification was skipped since I am on blue card, Also, I was asked to submit documents via email, if it were to be through post, it could have take an extra week or two for the document submission request mail to get to me and maybe another one or two weeks for them to receive back the documents. It also seems that the office responsible for my application is a bit fast, I think this is because I stay in the outskirt of Berlin and maybe they don’t get much application or they don’t have much workload there. I hope and pray that everyone waiting on this journey receives good news soon because it is not easy. 16 Likes 1 Share |

Babbbbbbbbby:Congrats to you, I can't help but say that 's Immigration process is a big mess, if your spouse had delayed transitioning from blue card to PR process a bit or opted in to keep his blue card ( because of its benefits ) while processing his PR ( They won't tell him this but it is possible ), you won't have gone through the lawyer verification process, which means you would have gotten your visa less than 3months after your interview. 4 Likes |

Debbieeeeeee:Thank you very much, You are right, I did the written once in the past and had 8 in listening, the reason why I have been doing the cbt version apart from the fact that its the only version available in my country of residence is because of writing, I make a lot of typos while writing and with cbt it is easy to come back and correct. |

Listening is driving me crazy, I have written ielts 4 times in the past 45 days ( cbt ), and in all I had 7.5 in listening. I am unsure what to do again. House, For someone with ADHD, how can I get 8 in listening?

Hello guys, Because of marriage, my wife is changing her name on her port. She has done the name change on nin and using nin mobile application , we see that my surname has reflected, but the person helping us at the immigration office is still saying that her nin is still yet to be linked, It has been a month now of back and forth without fruitful result. As anyone in the house experienced this issue ? what did you do to resolve it ? I will appreciate if someone can help me out on this as we need her port out before mid of next month. Also to add, when I tracked the port on immigrant portal, I see that it the nin verification has a red border, this confirms what the immigration officer was saying because initially, I thought she was lying and just didn’t want to help.

Hello guys, After abandoning this journey for 2 years, I have decided to pick up from where I stopped but I have a question, I plan to update my profile at the end of this month and it will bring my score to 477- 483, my plan is to get ontario tech nomination but I am concerned about the possibility of adding my wife and baby pre-COPR or Post-COPR, she doesn’t have the time to prepare/write ietls, also, if i add her, my score might take a nose dive when. Has any one recently added their spouse later in the process? does this still work ?

Last year February, I took relocating abroad seriously. After a lot of broken conversations with recruiters in the USA due to the fact that the companies they are recruiting for can’t sponsor H-1B visa, I decided to focus my energy on jobs in . Between Feb- March, I applied to about 8 - 10 jobs LinkedIn ( ). 4 - Ghosted me ( applied but no response) 1 - Got rejected after the home assessment 1 - Got rejected after the final stage 2 - Job Offers 2 - I Declined to move further because I had two offers. If you are looking for a job and don’t mind Europe, look into , there is scarcity of talent here. Also, use LinkedIn, but when you see a job posting don’t apply for the job on LinkedIn, search for the company on google and apply from their career page, This format worked for me all the time. Also, update your linkedin profile and bio, At some point before I turned off “looking for job” I used to get at least 2 messages per day from recruiters ( mostly in US but the problem was always visa sponsorship). 9 Likes 3 Shares |

The person you speak of is actually a friend, Will you ask if it is a bad idea if someone created a channel to help deaf people understand coding by using hand signs to explain? I don't think so. The targeted audience is low but the person is making an impact. There are people who really love pidgin English and are more expressive or understand things really well when it is said in pidgin, these people are his targeted audience. Not you with the British accent ![]() 3 Likes |

Djreloaded: I like the fact that even as you don’t have any tangible skill, you are still trying to get jobs and outsource them (Though, Not to forget that you have a notorious history of duping people you hire for these jobs ![]() I could post your upwork profile link here for people who you have been managing to deceive to see the lies you have been telling but I won’t do that as I know some people who are not very happy with you here will be very eager to report your struggling for impersonation and that will for sure get your banned ( I learnt upwork doesn’t joke with reported s, especially when you claim to be who you are not). Also as extra advice, 1) Work on yourself, you don’t need to always lie, The time you spend day-dreaming and thinking of the next lie to post can be better spent on something productive. Maybe you can finally use the time to machine learning ![]() 2) When you hire people, please pay them, they have families too. 3) It’s better to have an upwork in your name and country, I know a lot of Nigerian Content writers on upwork doing well ( Top rated plus ). P.S Before you think of quoting me talking about “10million naira”, “give away” or “go figure”, that If I report your struggling , we both know in our heart that e don red for you be that, you will be left with only sportybet. 15 Likes 4 Shares |

qtguru: Actually there are gigs that pays that much ( even more), jobs like that are not just much. My last upwork gig was *REDACTED* with 30hrs weekly limit ( but i was never able to work for 30hrs because i had 2 other full time jobs ). My problem with upwork/freelancing is that you have to work to get paid unlike a full time job where you can go days without working ( because there is no work), even take paid leave and at the end of the month, you get your full salary. It’s because of these reasons I haven’t used upwork in months and mainly focused on my full time job ( which i got on linkendin with relocation ) 5 Likes 1 Share |
