Heena12 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I am a hairdresser. I advise be careful within ur migration agent. Mine did not submit all documents within lodged nomination, though I told him and provide every single documents. If u attach everything even 80 form, do medical. Better. It depends on migration agent reputation when they assigning CO. I think. Good luck. And it has been 3weeks while I paid step 2 fees. Still waiting for interview. Can u plz tell me the venue for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can u plz tell me the venue for that. I’m using the same agent I used for my 457, they were amazing. Mine won’t submit without full documents. I agree, my agent advised for my 457 it would be 12 weeks, it was granted 12 weeks and 2 days, my agent followed up with immigration at exactly 12 weeks and 2 days later it was granted I have 100% faith in my migration agent I think they hold hairdressing interviews once a month, I originally had mine scheduled for September, but I ended up in hospital with appendicitis so had to reschedule last minute, I sat it in October. Ahh I can’t remember off the top of my head what the building was called it was in CBD though! Albert street rings a bell? I sat mine on the Monday, received positive outcome online on the Wednesday and certificate arrived Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still a bit confused but, With the list that you have to do 25 compulsory units is that in the test on a computer or is that everything you have to do and send in as video evidence? And how are the units added up? Is each task one unit? As the hair & design say "pre-requisite" Did anyone know what this means? Thanks in advance ? Hi, Its a technical interview... this means all questions are asked face to face with an assessor and they record you for the answer. I am unsure how they mark you. Have you submitted your evidence yet? Regards Bella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurenday Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 What is pathway 2??Pathway 2 is when you already have the Australian certificate 3, but the immigration department will not accept the application with this alone, they still need the vetassess skills assessment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raeside01 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Hi guys, so this thread was started in 2015, so is everyone who started the process from the UK back then all happily settled in Oz? We are just at the very beginning but was hoping (everything being successful) that 12 months was a reasonable timeline but I am beginning to doubt that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you at now? We were initially going to wait for the temporary transition stream, but when they changed all the rule for 457 visas we decided it would be best to go DE instead! So we had to find the money to pay for it! And skills assessment, migration fees etc and I have 2 children aswell so 4 if us on the application wasn’t cheap [emoji51] Oh that’s weird, on my immi account it was originally 15months estimated now it’s changed to 9-12month I’m not too bothered about waiting, I’ve still got 2 and a bit years left on my 457 and bridging visa granted No I don’t think I am, I’ll search now for it Thanks [emoji16] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I had my interview back in September and passed, it all went very well. I purchased an Australian standard hairdressing book and read it cover to cover over a few months before the technical interview. All of the questions asked I had read in the book so it was well worth the $70 I paid for it. We applied for a 187 visa November 2017 and expected a year wait, but was advised in March 2018 that the wait could be 17 months due to changes within the department of immigration. So applications aren’t being processes as quickly as they should be. So we are in for a long wait. Currently still in the UK.

raeside01 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 WOW that is a long wait. Although I assume the wait will bw worth it and by this stage there should be no major snags and you can start dreaming of a sunnier life. Im miles behind everyone on this thread, we are trying to do it ourselves and my current issue is how I lay out the evidence in the way VETASSESS want to see it? My plan was to take a couple of videos and use the software discussed throughout this thread but in terms of capturing all the requirements of the units/modules required and cross refrencing to my evidence pack I was going to do write ups of the techniques required but highlight the health and safety aspects, environmental awareness, cutting techniques throuhgout each etc. Is there such a thing as over kill or is it the more the merrier? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hi It’s frustrating for sure waiting as we’ve done everything we can now. We just wait and potentially could still get turned down for the visa. Although I don’t know what the chances are of this happening. As for Vetassess evidence, you really sound like you have a plan and know what your talking about. The aim of this evidence submission is show you have understand, so I don’t think there is such a thing as overkill. I used a spreadsheet with the units listed down one side. And I numbered all my pieces of evidence, then listed the evidence number next to the units it related to. Sometimes most or all of my evidence referred to these units so it was time consuming listing them. Anything that I couldn’t add to my evidence, I wrote up my understanding of this unit to show I had knowledge. I hope this helps.

I have been in Darwin for the past 10 months. Loving every minute and the long process was well worth the wait. Also before I came to Darwin I was dreading having to stay here for 2 years on the 489 but the time is flying here and the sun is always shining. Good luck with the visa process Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found they look for staff through there Facebook pages, or they have signs up on the window. Everyone is saying Darwin has quietened down a lot recently, house prices have gone down and so has rent. I found it easy to get work but I had to walk into salons and drop my cv in. As for my bf he is a cabinet maker and there is no work in his trade up here but he got a job in warehouse, so it’s all good [emoji4] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suncuti09 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Hey I am a hairdresser gathering up employment evidence and now I am stuck While studying hairdressing here in Ireland I worked part time 24 hours in total for 2 years. I do have my contract but I was paid in Cash. She has written up a smashing work reference hope that's sufficient evidence? And just to be sure do you need references from all your past employers? Worked on a cruiseship and only have bank statements and contracts to prove my employment. Hope someone can help me understand all this Vetasses requirements better. Thank you.

First, employment prior to being fully qualified is usually not counted for skills assessments. If you are struggling to complete the skills assessment, then I would strongly recommend speaking to a registered migration agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
