Hi damoche64, I don't think there is anywhere you can get that for now. If you can get from UKEAS at 52k that will be the best deal - I guess.

damoche64:
Dear Forumite, is there any other place I can get discounted voucher apart from UKEAS Ikeja? I need 2 dis week.

Congratulations sisterly! What an amazing birthday gift! On to the next stage sis.

I really appreciate u taking ur time to attend to my issue. God bless u for me. I'll sort it out by tomorrow.

Congrats bro! I the beginning of this journey and it gives me hope! quote author=chidike post=54943894]Oh God! I can't believe it! My Testimony!!!!

I received my grant yesterday, I didn't even know cos I only just applied (less than 2 weeks ago).

Thank you so much Bellong for taking out time to respond.

My husband is an Estate Surveyor/Valuer which would have been an easy ride but he had his HND from Yabatech and PGD from FUTA.

I dont really know the chances cos of the HND.

Do you think we stand a chance with that moreso that I didnt have it easy with Vetassess. I no wan cry again if we get negative assessment.

Thank you so much.

@toslad,

State nomination or assessment for alternate occupation that is not competitive. If you are married or engaged, your spouse's occupation may be the way to go.

Good morning House, please help we ants on this o!!! I have thought and thought about this without any headway in sight.

Cc: Bellong, please what do you advice we do as ants are now getting too many and as at the post I quoted it is already 84% filled despite the 70 points we are to get.

40manlappy, other ants please.

Pro Rata Occupations

[b]ants and Auditors are the most difficult occupations - they currently require 70 points for an invitation, and waiting times for an invitation are quite long even with this score (3-6 months)

Congrats bro!!!

God's favour in the land.

Vinsmuft:
Yes!!!
Direct Grant for me and my family just landed in my inbox. I am still in shock

Timelines



17 Mar 2017 Direct Grant received for subclass 189!!

Nice work bro. Well done and thank you.


[quote author=Alphadoor post=54636518]SkillSelect and State Nomination Update March 2017

This article looks at recent SkillSelect invitation rounds and changes to state nomination requirements.

The situation remains difficult for pro-rata occupations, but this may change as the number of invitations being issued is well below planning levels.

I have notarised OOU Syllabus.

PM me so I can send to you.

Hope you are not assessing with Vetassess o?

praiseisgood:



@40manlappy,

Many thanks and God bless.

I will like to PM you for a link to who can assist with OOU ing syllabus (2003 to 2007) and transcript.

If you can share it here if the person does not mind, it will be appreciated.

Thank you

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The land will yield to you too in Jesus' name.

Congrats Bro. I rejoice with you greatly. The land shall yield to you.

[quote author=vcole post=54265561]Hi everyone. Great info shared on this thread, big ups to all keeping it alive. Please I need your input on an issue. A friend of mine recently evaluated his Bsc ing degree which he obtained from uniben.
Cc: Tyosho. I don't think ICAN is a pre-requisite. Your friend should not be deterred. Someone like me got negative assessment from Vetassess after paying AUD810. It is not easy but I am sure the end justifies the means. There might have been something wrong somewhere.

@Nickoko,

Please why was your friend banned?

I think it could be a learning point for others too.

Thank you.

Nickoko:


Many thanks to you. Sir Bellong.

@Omo Aussie,

I don't think it has any effect on borrowing funds for your .

The emphasis is on the genuineness of the bank statement.

OmoAussie:
@ toslad

**modified

On a related note, I know this does not affect PR hopefuls but kindly advise as many as you know who intend to present statements to Australian Embassy for visa applications, to please desist from sending falsified statements!

@toslad
Thanks for the info!
Does this case include borrowing money,print ur statement and returning thereafter?

sorry Sir,

[email protected]

Thank you.

bellong:


This does not have a yahoo.co.uk Id...

Delivery error.

@Bellong thank you so much.

email address: [email protected].

I really appreciate this.

Thank you.

@Bellong good day,

I really hesitated before doing this. I have gone back some pages to locate the template you sent for CV and reference letter but couldn't get it.

Please I will appreciate it if you can send it to my mail. The saved the CV template but cannot open it.

I will also appreciate it if anyone who has it can please send to me.

Thank you.

Hello House,

I just heard that dollar now sells at the Parallel market at 410 as at this morning! I think this would be somewhat good news for those intending to buy.

On a related note, I know this does not affect PR hopefuls but kindly advise as many as you know who intend to present statements to Australian Embassy for visa applications, to please desist from sending falsified statements!

I have priviledged information that many applicants are doing this and it is presenting us in very bad light.

Almost all statements are usually reverified from the banks.

Thank you.

40manlappy:


I can't say precisely but what they wrote is Bachelor of Science awarded in 2004 by Ogun State University (now Olabisi Onabanjo University, Nigeria) is assessed as comparable to the educational level of an AQF Associate degree and is therefore below the required level.


What do you think is the issue?

I read ing. You may be lucky with MBBS!

I dont think they have issues with OOU as a school.

ahdebayo:
ok.
what about mbbs?

Abeg dont go to Vetassess with OOU ing o. Try other assessing bodies.

ahdebayo:
pls which state university and what course?
please has anybody applied for vetassess assessment with olabisi onabanjo university certificate?

Thank you so much Bellong for your usual prompt and concise response and Amen to your prayers.

Their father is a sailor and he is hardly available.

bellong:
@Toslad,

May her soul rest in peace. I pray God give the family strength and fortitude to bear the loss... Accept my heartfelt condolence.

As per custody, yes you can but you have to proof you have been taking care of them prior to their mother's death or you have been granted their custody by providing legal documents to your claim.

What of their father?

Good morning Bellong, Trust you enjoyed your double celebration. I apologise for sending this late. Na circumstances beyond my control.

Death dealt me a deadly blow on Wednesday as I lost my immediate elder sister on Wednesday night!

Very painful but we have to move on.

She left behind two children whose responsibility largely rests on me. Please I need your advice if I can include them in our application and if yes, what steps can we take?

Thank you.

@40manlappy,

Congrats but didnt she use her transcript from school?

Yes she did but it was in addition to her BSc:ACA certificate, ICAN transcript and letter of good standing from the institute.[/quote]

Thank you Omoge,

sammywemmy:
If u have spare 15k, and u believe strongly that u deserve more for d writing, then go for a remark. I did a remark for my writing and got a bump from 7 to 8. As OmogeNG rightly said, it isn't guaranteed. Na as ur liver wedge u.

40manlappy:
@toslad: Remark is not guaranteed as OmogeNG pointed out.

However, if you are confident that you done a good job and also have 15k that you are not afraid of losing, you can give a shot.

A number of people that I know got positive remarks in Writing this season that I have come to the conclusion that the examiner involved should be changed

My wife's score moved from 6.5 to 7.5 after remark.

I must confess, the waiting period was not easy.

Thank you 40manlappy, Sammywemmy and OmogeNG!

I am so grateful!

I am considering PTE too basically because I am considering another assessment with ICAA but I just feel I can get better in Writing! If for nothing, to prove a point. @40manlappy, how long did your wife's remarking take?

I wont mind saving up for the remarking cos the thing pain me - I even requested for extra-sheet!
