w0nderw0man Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 My application has been picked up by immigration and they are requesting a skills assessment (not compulsory). I have been with my employer (government agency) for 1 year and I have been nominated by them. I have been previously working for another company (management consultancy) for 2 years doing a similar role. I have 3 years experience in this role in Australia and 7+ years experience in a similar role in the UK. My question is whether I need to carry out a skills assessment with a governing body such as VETASSESS if I have been sponsored and nominated by employers that have already assessed my skillset as part of employing me? Given my experience, if I don't do the skills assessment will it make my application weaker? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 What visa have you applied for and what occupation did you apply under? Some require a skills assessment. Even if it wasn't specifically a requirement for your visa, if DHA have asked for one you will likely need to provide it or face a possible refusal.
