Hello,
I am planning to start my migration process and am kind of lost. Would really appreciate if someone could clear the following questions for me.
1. I hold a Bachelors degree in Information Technology and was working as a Software Engineer for 2 years and 9 months. At my next employer, i was working as a Web Support managing the company's website content and recently got promoted to the position of Web Administrator (experience 3 years and 2 months). I would like to know which occupation will i able to apply under SOL. Can i go for Software Engineer?
2. I plan to do this myself without using an agent and would like to know if there is any money to be paid for the submission of skills assessment? I met with an agent here and she said the following fees are applicable:
a. Skills assessment submission - 150 AUD
b. If i choose to take state nomination i will pay an additional of 150 AUD
c. After i get the invite, to process the papers i will pay the Aus visa fees of 3600 AUD.
Everywhere i checked, i only saw the mention of visa fees as AUD 3600. Could someone please clarify if the other 2 also exists or am i being overcharged by the agent?
3. While submitting the skills assessment, is there any predefined format for submitting my experience letter so i can avoid any kind of rejection?
I would really appreciate a detailed response.
Thank you!
Sonia George
