Vickiw89 Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 It's about a 6 month wait for it to be granted now! We're planning to go after Christmas so it should be ok. Your 190 is about a 3 month wait I think. You going for the NT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edel Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Yeah hopefully everything goes okay with the eoi for the 190 (NT) if not our agent said we may have to apply for a 489 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickiw89 Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 Ah fingers crossed for you. If I was you I'd email vetassess and see how long it will be till you get your cert. Have you done your ielts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sony Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Hi all, i appeared for for vetassess interview on 24th November, I had to email VETASSESS for the certificate in January as I was running short of time for 190- age criteria, I got my certificate in the 1 st week of February. Then applied for EOI, it took 3 weeks, roughly end of Feb but I was offered 489 visa sponsorship as I was turninig 41 in the month of March. I filed visa application on 11th March with required documents and fees. There was a query by the department and again submitted relevant documents in end of April. Awaiting my visa grant. Very anxious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libby Taylor Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Do I need to do the ielts first before the vetassess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurahair Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Do I need to do the ielts first before the vetassess You only need the IElTS for extra points. You are best to apply for this early because the dates are limited and if you need to resit it this will take longer. What state are you hoping to apply for?

eloisepyper Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Hey girls, hope you don't mind me commenting. Me and my husband are applying for a visa in the NT. I've done my IELTS and I've passed my first lot of Vetassess trade assessments and I am waiting to hear when my date for my technical interview is. I'm so nervous as I've been hairdressing for so long and I'm worried I won't remember everything. Any help would be appreciated. ☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickiw89 Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Hi Eloise, ah sounds like you're well ahead with your application! Don't worry too much about the technical, my advice would be read through this thread and you can get an idea on what sort of questions are asked, also do a bit of research on Australian health and safety. Go through your folders and just refresh everything. Dont worry if you need a minute or two to think before answering a question either, they are patient. As long as you have looked over everything you'll be fine. You might get asked questions on how to do a chemical straightening etc I did and never done this before so it's worth having an understanding of everything even if you don't do it yourself! Whereabouts are you from? Have you been to Oz before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eloisepyper Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Hello, thank you for replying! I read through the whole feed this evening and read through what you have been asked. I've never done chemical straightening either to be honest, but I've googled it a little. We are from Luton and are hoping to go to Darwin! How about you? We travelled along the west coast last year and loved it!! X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickiw89 Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 I got asked how to do the procedure, and also a bit about men's shaving I was honest and said I didn't do it but guessed! We're from Shropshire have a salon in tassie sponsoring me for permanent residency, application is in but it takes 6 months to grant! Never been to tas before so not sure what to expect! Have you been to Darwin before? I haven't but my partner has he said it's nice! We were there a couple of years ago for 2 years we did the east coast the middle and down south, loved it all! It's an amazing country! X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sony Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Hi you should check the procedure for perming and straightening, when to use neutrilizer in both case, as I had the same questions. They had also asked me about out line shave and gents hair cut I replied women not much in barbering but I learnt the skill as I had to put up videos for trade assessment. The interview was quite detailed, message technique names were asked I could only give. 2 names. Asked about salon safety, hygiene, short bob hair cut cutting angle, hair updos for Long hair, problem facing with French roll. There were many question my interview lasted for 2:17hrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libby Taylor Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Hi wondering if u can help I sent my cv to i immigration office they said i can only apply to nt. I have 10 years experience in the hair industry and they said nt is very hard to get into as that correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickiw89 Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 Hiya, it's only the NT and Tasmania that are sponsoring hairdressers at the minute. We tried for the NT but they need proof that we have $50,000 which we don't! I contacted a few salons in Tasmania and one is sponsoring me for a 186 visa, I got extremely lucky with that. To get into tas on any visa I think you need a job offer. I think a 190 might be quite hard to get unless you have ties there, think some people were being granted a 489 instead of a 190. Have you contacted a migration agent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libby Taylor Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Yh I contact consept australia and they said tas wasn't sponsoring hairdresser so confused lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickiw89 Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 They definitely are, check anzsco search it'll tell you where is sponsoring hairdressers, I'm with go Matilda who are brilliant, give them a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libby Taylor Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Ok ty il try them did u have to do a tra for a job sponsor x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickiw89 Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 I was planning on a 489 for Queensland so did my vetassess and then it got taken off, I know the visa I'm going for the 186 you need one but not sure about other sponsorship visas. Have you done one already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libby Taylor Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 No not yet just re searching information first I was seeing wot immigration offices said first as ive been doing hair for 10 years but for the past 5 years been doing mobile and hair at a retirement home so self employed didn't no if i qualified I never realised how much is involved got a lot harder now as my sister lives in queensland and it wasn't as bad wen she applied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickiw89 Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Think it's best to consult a migration agent they'll be able to tell you more about whether you qualify! Yeah it's definitely got a lot harder to move to oz, I'm just grateful I can still get in! I don't work as a hairdresser currently so my time was running out! It's not as bad as it sounds, the worst part is the vetassess assessment and as long as you provide enough evidence and revise you'll be fine! It will take time though that's the downside!
