hardikbv Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hello, Last week I received following response from NT authorities for my NT SS application. My occupation 242111 is there in 'High Demand' and DIAC ceiling is not reached. Why was my application rejected? Does this mean that they have started evaluating applications based on new criteria? Shouldn't they process the application as per the criteria application at the time of application? Would appreciate any suggestions on how can I move forward?

Guest Guest 47403 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Sorry you didn't receive your SS. However perhaps the NT are beginning to realise something a lot of the other states don't seem to be, and that is just because an occupation is on the skills list it doesn't always reflect in the local job market, by reading a lot of posts on here regarding how many are struggling to secure work when they arrive the SOL needs a major overhaul to reflect what is really happening in local job markets. Again sorry you didn't get your SS but better that than leaving a secure job where ever you are to then find you can't secure work the other end.

May i know your profession, skill assessment from which authority, IELTS Score in individual band, years of experiences..then it would be easier to suggest you...normally, its a normal incident. previously, many people after getting rejected in one state got the SS in another one..so, don't just frustration let your judgement cloud. Just take right decision !! Good luck with your next endeavors !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveandKirsty Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 This is a real shame for you and I'm sorry to read it. Baz is correct though, and I can actually see all of the States eventually coming round to only issuing SS visa's with a firm job offer at the other end in the foreseeable future. Thus yes, like WA, the applicant will have to work in the job that they have been granted the visa for. Your job as a university lecturer is obviously a highly skilled one, but, really to avoid this in the future DIAC and the State governments perhaps ought to state in which subject they have a high demand in, because much the same as general teaching there is a shortage of Maths and Science teachers but not so of English, Geography, Drama and so on.

hardikbv Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Thank you, Baz and Stevenandkirsty. Is there any appeal authority where I can take my case? Abdullah, here are the details. University Lecturer, IELTS overall 7.5 (7 / 7+ in each band), PhD with 11 years of experience, (8 years in the nominated occupation), VETASSESS positive, DIAC 190 Score : 75 Best Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 It sounds more like they don't think your qualifications are high enough for what the employers require. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebourvellec Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Sounds like you are not going to find a job in your field in the NT, therefore they can not give you nomination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardikbv Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Hi jojo.. For NSW, I have to wait till July (as their quote for the year is over). I have to also keep my fingers crossed that 'University Lecturer' remains there in the list post July. Do you have any past data? Does is stay there over the years ?!

Tickled Pink Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 In my experience, if a Uni really wants you they will have no probs getting you on a 457 initially, then direct entry 186 from there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traceylove54 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 With all this talk of refusal of SS visa can I just ask have you still had to pay the full visa application fee for them then to turn around and say NO?? From my understanding the visa app fee alone is nearly £5k?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhm Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Tracey, Your visa application is the last thing you pay for, so no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardikbv Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Tracy : No, there is no state nomination fees. You only pay once you apply for visa. Till now, my costs are limited to assessment and IELTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardikbv Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Hello Kate, Even I thought the same. Now the new list is out and my profession 'University Lecturer' is there in 'high priority'. Though, they say that my particular specialization of teaching (management) is not in demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate007 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 oh I have seen their draft version and Uni Lecturer wasn't there but aha just find out they included it in their final list. However, limited the field of teaching. and I am 200% sure in their refusal mail they meant exactly the same "Consultations with the relevant industry in the Northern Territory indicated that employers are seeking professionals who have specific skills set and experience that would make him/her employable in the Northern Territory." So that's the main reason. they are considering new list now but its really confusing as they didn't upgrade the list on their main place of website. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardikbv Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Yes... For now I believe the only hope is NSW in July if they continue to keep University lecturer in 190.. Fingers crossed.. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardikbv Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Any idea on NSW's July listing and University Lecturer's status in that? ! Yes...

Jojo29 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Hi, I have a 190 visa SS from NSW as a university lecturer, I have just been out to sydney for 3 weeks to do a recki on jobs and it wasn't good news for uni lecturers, there were jobs but in very specific fields, I would say quite rare fields too, I can teach business, economics, finance, tourism, events and there was nothing for me, however I did look at tafe and they had opportunities for my field, however it's a college level not uni, the pay was $75 per hr so quite good but posts were quite far from the city. Just might want to be sure you can find work before you pay the money if you need to work once there. good luck, jojo x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardikbv Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 Hi Jojo, Thanks for updating on the ground situation. I would not mind going interior. Let me hope NSW keeps University Lecturer when the reopen the applications. I also have fairly similar profile as yours. PhD, business, economics, tourism.

rpmotilla Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I received exactly the same reply for Human Resource Adviser. My qualifications has been assessed by VETASSESS and got a positive feedback. My agent do not know exactly what was missing with my qualifications as I am an HR Graduate with Masters Degree and been working in this field for more than 8 years. There are 2 things that I think was the reason for the rejection (1) I do not have any close family ties in NT (2) I do not have any job offer ---although I really tried submitting applications but they all preferred to hire those who are already holder of Australian visa... Is there any one here who can enlighten me and what will be the next available option for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
