i guess no bakers here?

any bakers waiting to be invited by NSW for SS here?? or probably bakers who have been granted with a 190 visa? please share your timeline and points please.. as for me, I am a baker with 60+5 points, submitted my EOI on 7th August 2015.

Cheers

@que sera: i hope so, as much as i'd love to migrate to australia, i wouldn't risk the current condition until i got my visa. thanks for answering, and fingers crossed they won't call the employer

@que sera: you are right, what i do not want is that if my application will affect the probability of being promoted, salary increase, etc. since i would still need to work there at least until my visa is granted.

@supercow: you are right, i guess i am gonna have to be ready then. @Cubiscus: i haven't even been invited to apply but expecting within a month or so, and right now i am preparing all of the docs to reduce the processing time. thanks for the info btw, i hope they won't ask for form 80 and won't call my employer

Hi,

Could anyone help me with the question please..in the case where I am not claiming points from work experience in EOI, would DIBP still call my employer for security check purpose if I gave out the detail of my work experiences in the form 80?

I am trying to avoid for DIBP to call my current employer since it will put my job at risk..

Thanks to whoever answering!

Hi,

I applied for TRA MSA (Migration Skills Assessment) back in April and received my acknowledgement letter on 6th May, but still haven't heard anything from TRA although it is already 63 working days now. Anyone experiencing similar situation?

Thanks,

Al

Hi strikker,

Just curious, which pathway did you take for the TRA? was it TRA MSA? and when did you receive your acknowledgement letter? I received the acknowledgement letter on 6th May but still haven't heard anything yet,,

Thanks

Hi,

I am intending to apply for SS with Baker as my nominated occupation and have worked as a Baker for the last 4 years or so, however I noticed that I couldn't claim points from it since the breakdown is as follow:

- 8 months Australian work experience as Baker before receiving related certificate III qualification.

- 10 months Australian work experience as Baker after receiving related certificate III qualification.

- 2 years and 10 months overseas work experience as Baker after receiving related certificate III qualification.

Now I am aware that to claim the points from the experience, it needs to be AFTER I received the qualification (unless the assessing body recognizes the prior). Therefore I am unable to claim any points either from my Australian or overseas working experience (the latter one because it is less than 3 years).

The problem is, when I try to fill the EOI, it asks for my employment history and automatically counts the Australian experience as 1 year and give me extra 5 points which means I will be overclaiming the points. Now I am confused.. Should I fill it anyway or just leave the employment history empty? If I leave it empty, will it affect my application somehow? Since EOI asks for employment history within the last 10 years.

Thanks heaps for all those answering..

bump! anyone please?

Hi all,

I am seeking for help and answers from this forum, I hope someone can help me

, Here are my details:

Qualifications:

- Advanced Diploma of Hospitality (2 years program in Australia where the first

year was Certificate III in Patisserie, and the 2nd year was Advanced Diploma in

Hospitality.) -> Australian Qualification

- Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design -> from overseas university

Australian Working Experience:

- about 380 hours working as a baker before Certificate III in Patisserie awarded.

- about 740 hours working as a baker after Certificate III in Patisserie awarded.

- about 3 years working in retail with the last position as Trainee Store Manager

Overseas Working Experience:

- about 3 years working in retail as Area Manager

- about 3 years working as Baker

Now, I am about to apply for SS subclass 190, I am wondering if:

1) I am nominating Baker as my occupation, can I claim points from my bachelor's degree even though it is not related to my nominated occupation? Since I will only get 10 points from my Advanced Diploma, but I can get 15 points using the degree.

2) If I can claim points from my degree, where should I go to get it recognized? I have no working experience as graphic designer but.. I have been looking around on the internet and found that VETASSESS would be the right place, but I am not sure if I should do qualification assessment-only or the full skills assessment in order to claim 15 points from my degree..Can anyone assist?

3) For skills assessment by TRA, I assume that they will only consider the working experiences after I got awarded with Certificate III, am I right?

4) Since I am overseas and my country is not listed for OSAP, I will have to use TRA MSA (TRA Migration Skills Assessment). Anyone has experience with this? Did they call your employer or check your workplace etc? Or even call you to interview/check your skill?

Any response will be highly appreciated! Thanks again!
