noob

Dear all

 

I'm just starting the skills assessment process via VETASSESS, as a University Lecturer. There is the option (at $80 AUS) to receive a letter in support of your points application, primarily about your work experience and qualifications.

 

A question to those who are in the know, or have been through the process; is it worth it? I can only see that it might speed up the visa application slightly, as there's one less thing for them to check in a rigorous fashion, but is there another potential benefit I'm missing here, or is this a waste of $80?

 

Cheers in advance

Even I need to get points test assessment for my Degree done as all my work exp is in IT however the degree is from commerce background.

How much time does it take to get the points test for the degree and also where can i start whats the procedure as my application is under process already. Please help fast

Also, before lodging my 190 Visa and after getting my Victoria SS, I hope I can claim the points for my degree as well by editing the EOI. So to increase the chances.

Thanks again for response. I would however have to get there medicals and PCC done. Please suggest.

Also, my kids are below 8 years old do I need PCC for them as well. Plese suggest.

Also, my wife had 3 operations two for the kids and 1 for an ovarian cyst. Can that be an issue ?

Hi,

All points are frozen at the Date of Invitation. IELTS is valid for 3 years. If you do not receive an invitation by the time they expire, you need to re-sit IELTS and apply for new assessment.

If you got Vic SS and Invitation to apply for visa, you do not need to worry.

 

Cheers

Thanks a lot for resolving my query. I am waiting for my Victoria SS, its been 4 weeks so was just wondering as my ACS expires in May 2 nd.

Also, one last query I had added my dependents in my EOI and Vic SS application. Now, however due to some family issues, my wife has to stay home to take care of her mother since her son cant support for at least 3 years and he is not in the country.

So, my question is, is there a way I can exclude them from my 190 application ? I do want to show them as non migrating dependents if possible but not pay the visa fee for them as I am the only one who would be moving there. Please suggest.

Hi, I have filed by 190 Visa for Vic, however my ACS and IELTS are to expire in 1.5 weeks. Will it have any impact on my Visa application. I am so worried after such a long journey What should I do please please suggest.

Hi - I am going to file SS for Victoria today, can I also file SS for other states like ACT or SA in the middle because Victoria SS would take 3-4 months and than they would inform me whether its positive or negative. I would loose lot of time. Please guide me.

Can anyone please respond ?

Hi,

I have filled ACS (RPL) under - ICT Systems Test Engineer. Wanted to check if anyone else has filled under this occupation. If yes, have they received their results as I am still waiting its going to be 2 months. Would be great if someone could share there experience.

Best Regards,

Avi

no it cannot be. maximum time is 6 weeks.

Since late Dec 2012 and till today, its taking either exactly 2 months or +- 1 week, I know many people who have got the results in 2 months time line .

I my self filled mine on 12th March, its exactly 6 weeks today. If I go by your estimate the case should have been finalized by now but it has not

Wish you were correct. I am tired of waiting as well.

Yes, as others have pointed out, this is the 143. However, you said you haven't applied for your own visa yet, & you would have to be a settled Permanent Resident of Australia before your parents could apply. You will have to be there for at least 2 years before they can put their application in.

thanks all for sharing information. I was with my agent earlier today. He said they can stay with you on tourist visa for 12 months go back and come back again and then you have file for contributory parent visa.

Please suggest if this seems to be the right way ? or any other better way.

My agent says he can get it done some visa subclass where they charge 40k for each parent not sure which is that visa can anyone guide me for that ?

Yes most of europe, asia, south america and th US she loves travelling

Thanks, I am worried I cant leave them here. Are there any tourist visa they could take every year.

I was thinking that she could get into travel agency. She was planning to get IATA certifications.

Guys any suggestuon woukd be very very helpful. We would be in SA.

I dont have a visa but would be filling after acs resukts next month. My dad suffers from sugar and high blood pressure. He has pention but I am only child I cant keave him and mother here. There has to be a way. Please guide.

Thanks for replying. My father does have pention. We are from india. I wiukd go on a PR state sponsership visa and I am their only child. There are no relatives who can take care if them here. We are from india. Please guide and suggest.

What all options do I have to bring my parents to aus with me. The quickest and the fastest way.

My father has retired.

My wife is a graduate has done her bachelor of science but has never worked, but now if we move to Aus she wants to work, can you guys suggest which occupation are in demand there and if she could do short term diploma here before leaving will that increase her jobs prospects. Please advice

First of all thanks a lot for responding. I know they are two seperate codes. However when I read them they both of exactly same KRA listed in them. I have applied for ICT System Test ENG. I have chosen this for SA. Can you please check and let me know if I made the right choice.

Software tester and ICT system Test eng have same skill set requirments. Are they same, I filed under ICT System Test Eng. Can anyone guide and help.

Hi - Has anyone filed and got a positive assessment on ICT Sysmte Test Eng. Please respond asap. I think I might have filled the ACS under a wrong code. Please respond at the earliest.
