They know because you will have indicated the visa you are applying for ie 487.

nominating an occupation which does not match with your nominated occupation on your skills assessment which some have inadvertently done. Not declaring information about any previous offences, as above, providing false details or information, not meeting the points test in some way eg not enough work experience post qualification.

it is worth asking for a remark - people on here do this especially when the difference is half a mark it could be worth it especially when he scored highly in the other sections.!

For anyone in the same predicament it is worth asking as today I received an email saying they were not needed. :wubclub:

Thanks guys I knew i would get a response on here faster!!!!

find us here and welcome http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/148264-176-lodged-may-2012-a.html

Done it thanks - just wondered though whilst i am waiting for the reply

Hi I have received a request for the above and it says you should provide them from all countries in which you have lived for 12 months or more. so my question in i spent just under 12 months by 8 days in Oz - I don't mind obtaining them but it seems a hassle if i don't need to I am just wondering if anyone else has been in the same dilemma?

All I can say is that when I worked in the courts the magistrates were not unused to hearing the police had behaved poorly over minor matters and were not not unsympathetic in a professional sense but if you attempt to labor the point and show an anti authoritarian stance they really don't like that either, I agree strongly with the Hoff!

Its alright to upload them now -they will ask for them in the requests they send out to finalize everything anyway!

Thanks Pablo, especially for the advice about on street parking too - do you know if they do Saturdays perhaps as this may be one option dependent on Oh's shifts and if so if they charge extra?

I would email them they will get back to you -it is not the TRA who have the quotas they are just the assessing body and will assess whether or not the occupation has been capped, as I am not an IT specialist I did not go down this route myself- let us know how you get on best of luck

why do you think this? your skill is still on the current list so you can apply but you would need to get your skills assessed! I would suggest go back the trade web page and have another look as this is the assessing body http://www.immi.gov.au/asri/occupations/i/ict-customer-support-officer.htm#SKIA http://www.deewr.gov.au/Skills/Programs/SkillsAssess/TRA/Pages/default.aspx and look at the permanent offshore migration info refer to http://www.deewr.gov.au/Skills/Programs/SkillsAssess/TRA/OffshoreAssessment/Documents/OSAPGuidelines.pdf and also refer to http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/ABS@.NSF/Product+Lookup/1220.0~2006~Chapter~UNIT+GROUP+3131+ICT+Support+Technicians to show which skills/tasks you should evidence in your application. neither is it an off list skill, its on the list! My advice is to slow down and try to understand the process - look at book 6 on Diacs web site with regard to IELTS you have to make a decision as to whether you need extra points as you already have a uk passport, so dont always need to do this test http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/pdf/points-test.pdf if you are getting confused and you cannot find your way through this info to make any sense of the process you may wish to consult a migration agent to help which will cost- if you are trying to beat the deadline when everything changes to skills select and when you will only be able to apply by invitation only then you are cutting things extremely fine! the process is to look at the points test and find out if you can actually meet the points test first and if not decide what you need to do next apply for your skills assessment -you can search this site to find out how long this takes people to obtain book your self in for ielts and sit the test if you need to then apply for state sponsorship with WA if you are willing to wait for the July deadline and will still be able to obtain 65 points without being too old and loosing points etc then you need to look at the skills select

Hi does anyone know if the the panel DR's list on Diac is uptodate? Would have preferred one nearer to home if possible due to work commitments! Also do they ask for permission to have a look at your NHS record or do you have to provide anything extra specifically as i don't know my health number?

there is a cap and WA publish their list each month - if you explore the site further you will find research as to whether there is an ongoing demand for your skill or whether it is flagged to be removed. The cap is relevant to each year so will change again in July as new places are allocated. If WA is the place you want to go for def i would then look at the skills assessing body to see if you can meet their requirements and look at how long it is likely to take!

Hi if I were you I would still launch an application for state sponsorship as soon as your Ielts results are known as there is a chance you will get it before the deadline and be able to apply-the 175 visas are moving fast at the moment but it does make your application stronger with state sponsorship, especially if you are from a HR country. HR country's tend to have a longer wait at all stages because of lots of checks ( just in case you fall into the category be prepared) it may be Victoria that allows you to apply without your result si Don.t know- if you do a search on here for NSW state sponsorship or Victoria you will see what times people are waiting as opposed to what is quoted on the website. *when I first started posting to this forum I did not know forum ettiquette or rules, I now know that posting in capitals is like a form of shouting. I was also intimidated and did not think that anyone had seen my post as there were so many posters and it was all confusing-rest assured Berhe you will get a response and it is usually friendly and helpful - put this one down to a learning experience-welcome!

Hi if you go on diacs web site and look at skills select and points test you will be able to see how you could meet it - if you need points for post qualifying years of experience and are unlikely to get them within your time frame then you could always consider an employer sponsored route!!!!

Tip to the wise- don't put your date of birth on here- The visa wizard is not so helpful it really requires some investigative work on your side. I would also suggest as others have that you look to see if you have a skill which would attract sponsorship from a state - if I were you given the time frame in that things are changing in July I would look at the new Skill select program on Diacs web site. If in the future your relative becomes a permanent resident and you are willing to wait and would still meet the points test then you could be sponsored by them and if you have a skill that is wanted there will be a route to explore. It looks like some choices will need to be made somewhere down the line as i am not sure that you can hold citizenship for more than 2 countries if you apply to OZ.

First impressions on returning, loved the greenery and shopping and friendly people BUT: I have missed the outdoor lifestyle and wearing Sunnies for most of the year! and missed the quietness of Perth and the what did you do this weekend chatter, rather than what did you buy? I actually got used to the lack of Sunday and evening trading actually this made things slow down a whole lot enjoyed my OH having to wear thongs, he took a while!!!!! I have learnt that UK people are more PC (at least to your face - doubt it other wise) and willing to debate anything, in the UK shopping is sadly the lifestyle for most, Aussies are blunter and don't understand friendly sarcasm as much, Aussies are proud of their country and are not afraid to show it and the UK keeps apologizing too much, the Uk economy is totally bankrupt and its leaders bereft of moral integrity Hoping to give Oz another go as it got me hooked more importantly if you want to make the world a better place you can do it in either country!

what they are looking for is evidence of your research that your skill is needed - on the WA site there are links to info which shows how the state has researched each skill and its predicted need ie is it a priority, top priority need etc?. I named the areas in which my skill set was needed and said it was transferable to a number of areas of employment which I also named, and I also quoted job sites where adverts were regularly placed.

Hi there is a direct question related to evidencing that your job/skill is desirable, how far have you got with the form?

Hi i lived in oz for less than one year ie just 8 days short of a year -do I still need to include this as it says all countries where you lived for a period of 12 months or more and if I do will it generate PCs for Oz-I dont have a problem in including it or going for Pcs from OZ but am just someone who takes things very literally lol! anyone have a similar experience?

I am of the same mind and did not go for the employment advice form the assessing authority only the skills assessment and know others who have done the same- Diac still assess it anyway and if yours is straight forward you will be ok.

I would send them an email querying this and saying that you have proof of delivery if you have-I went for a further additional skills reassessment around the same time and have already received it back as successful I got the confirmation email on the 10th of Nov!

congratulations on your successful assessment and good luck with your journey
