SegunWamiri:


Lolz. As desperate as I am and in dire need of a 190, from the look of things, @ Chuglothen we won't have a choice than to settle for NT or SA's 489. Please calm down and don't stress your self on trying to get a job in Tasmania because of the following factors:
1. The state is the second after SA with the highest rate of unemployment amongst Australian states

2. Since I ed on Australian job websites, I haven't received any alert with the Title Customer Service Manager- Tasmania

3. These employers would rather employ a citizen, a permanent resident holder or someone that is already on ground than wait and go through the stress of employing someone from overseas except that person has got some really.... special skills & abilities.

In conclusion, NT still seems to be the best option despite the POF and asset valuation thingy as it is the state with the lowest unemployment rate in Aussie.

Cheers.

Thanks everyone. So there is no closely related occupation to CSM? Ok ooo...diaris God sha.
@segun, please this POF for NT....is it like average balance or closing balance that they want?
My major concern about 489 apart from the zero benefit is that I heard that you must work in your nominated occupation for 2 years before being eligible for PR. So what if I dont get job in that particular occupation nko? I dont know if i am wrong though. Can more light be thrown on this 489 visa please?

1.Can more light be thrown on this 489 visa please? whether or not you get job in your chosen field; you have a moral obligation to remain in the sponsor territory for 2yrs before you relocate. However someone here once argued that you can reside in this territory and work outside provided you pay your taxes and bills in your sponsored state but I stand to be corrected.
http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/489-
2.please this POF for NT....is it like average balance or closing balance that they want? About AUD$35,000 ( single applicant) as evidence of your financial capacity to settle in the NT including net assets but try and confirm from NT website.

Hi everyone, I have a couple of questions please.I have been assessed by EA as a professional Engineer(Mechanical Engineering).First, I have a skilled experience of 20 months(1 year and 8 months) in Nigeria and most of the regions that I want require you to have 2 years.However, I do not know if it is just for skilled experience. This is because I have a lot of unskilled experience in the UK.Again, I want to know at what point can one cease to modify application(after EOI or ITA).I intend to get married before the second half of next year.I am scheduled for PTE next month before returning home,so I do not know if I should halt the PR process till two become one.Thank you in advance.

Congratulations on your +ve assessment; however pertaining to your question; Australia PR is a skilled migration program.
1.You can submit more than 1 EOI and withdraw same before ITA is issued and you have 60 days to apply for your visa after ITA, else you go back to the pool list and wait till you are selected again.
1i. You can submit more than 1 visa application for different Subclasses (eg.190 and 189) but immediately you receive a grant for a particular application, ensure you cancel the other which is of lesser value to you. Else event would override your grant.
For instance you got 189 grant ( the ultimate) and still have a 190 application still active on your immi. My advise withdraw the 190 visa app before a decision is made on the 190.
2. You should aim at 20points in English test and depending on your age, you may just have at least 60points which is good enough for EOI without state or regional nomination.
*** Submit you application once you have ITA and funding and you can proceed to marry you spouse before or after application has been lodged. if you didn't specify you were married during your app; just file a change of circumstance form 1022 and include your spouse in your application before a decision is made on your case. Don't forget to all necessary documents for your claims(Medicals, PCC et'al).

So EA shot me in the heart with their message ending "Based on these carrier episodes’ summary you may be assessed with the qualification outcome as a Civil Engineering Technologist (ANZCO 233914). Please confirm. Alternatively, you may provide rectified CDRs presenting your professional engineering exposure."

Pls I'm I supposed to rewrite all 3 episodes? Ejo e gba mi o

And how soon will they go back to reviewing my application if I rewrite?

@Bellong, is the above occupation good for NSW nomination?

@lalaazo, so if I get a job in another occupation apart from the one I nominated....I can still be eligible for the 887?
Then for POF, you know in Canada....it is an average balance over six months that is required? But I want to know if just a Closing balance can fly as an evidence?

@everyone....please is there a slight chance that NT can nominate me on a 190 visa without having a family tie over there

It is a very dangerous situation, . Usually I recommend sending out CDR to colleagues for proof reading prior to submission. If you did and you still got this, I think you have to refire the entire thing. To the beat of my knowledge, I think the three episodes. You may consider resubmitting 2 new ones alongside one of em rejected ones (refined). This time, prepare your episodes in accordance with the units and elements of competency for a professional engineer (page 33,EA MSA booklet). This is a challenge, one that will surely be overcome, as engineers are problem solvers.

in addition, be sure to be able to back up whatever you are writing.

About when your application will be reassessed, I think it is as soon as possible. If you satisfy the requirements, you can get you outcome the next day of submission.

Thank you so much for the critical analysis.20 points in PTE will land me 65 points.That is the only reason I am thinking about 190.I appreciate once more...gracias

@Bellong, is the above occupation good for NSW nomination?

Let me start this way, since it's not totally interactive. First, did your assessor specify the CE you needed to re-write? If no. Then you might have to repackage them or do two fresh ones.

In my case, I was not given option to be assessed as a technologist. I was requested to re-submit two new CEs, that the other two I submitted earlier did not reflect much on my nominated occupation. However some persons have had cases like yours, they requested to write another CE entirely and were later assessed as professional engineers.

In conclusion, you should your assessor first to let him/her know what you want. Which she stated in the opening speech, that you "confirm". If you want to accept the engineering technologist, you can just tell him/her to go ahead. If you don't want to, then explain precisely what you would do to get a professional assessment outcome. My one cent.

For NT, my friend borrowed money from people and printed out the statement the next day. Nt asks for about evidence of 15k aud cash( not sure) and then asset value of a large sum. My friend got a valuer to access his land, car and other valuables and inflated their worth. He got the nomination with no further questions asked.

chuglothen:

@segun, please this POF for NT....is it like average balance or closing balance that they want?
It's one's total worth (assets). So it's combination of any valuable property plus a reasonable closing balance.
My major concern about 489 apart from the zero benefit is that I heard that you must work in your nominated occupation for 2 years before being eligible for PR.So what if I dont get job in that particular occupation nko? I dont know if i am wrong though. This has been eased recently https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/887- You can now work FULL TIME in any occupation for one year in those two years.
