Hi guys,

I recently had applied under training and development.

After 3 months I got the assessment from vetassess as negative.

I am still awaiting for the detailed letter but as das as the initial reasoning is concerned, it is really strange.

Even though I have submitted all the documents related to my 5 years of experience they have stated that employment is of insufficient duration.

Also it says the tasks undertaken are not related to ANZSCO while in the advisory it stated that it is highly relevant.

I have spoken to my agent and we shall try and get a clarification for the assesses. Can someone pls tell me about the accuracy of this assessment.
Also if it goes wrong and it gets changed once the problem has been identified.
And what needs to be the next step.

Thanks

Dear All,

I need your advice.

I’ve been working in the Human Resources field for over 7 years. Accordingly, I sent my employment evidence to VETASSESS for the required assessment.
I just received my VETASSESS’s Assessment and the following has been written in the assessment:
“More than three year/s of employment is assessed highly relevant to the nominated occupation and completed at an appropriate skill level in the five years before the date of applying for the skills assessment”

Given that the points for ‘Work Experience’ are categorized as follows:
At least eight and up to 10 years – 20 points
At least five but less than eight years – 15 points
At least three but less than five years – 10 points
At least one but less than three years – 5 points

Does VETASSESS’s assessment mean that I can only apply for the ‘At least three but less than five years’ category which is worth 10 points?

Please advice.
Thank you for your reply in advance.

Hi Sally,

You have to apply for (points test advise). This is the only way by which VETASSESS will consider any experience older than 5 years within the last 10 years.

Hi,

I initially applied for assessment under "212412 Newspaper or Periodical Editor". However, the work experience assessment came out to be negative, whereas the education assessment was still positive. In the explanation letter, the assessment officer suggested that my current job experience appears to be more aligned with "212415 Technical Writer". So, now i will reapply under Technical Writer.

My question is: In this reapplication, can I tweak my work experience letters to make it more aligned with Technical Writer? Or, I should use the ones that I had submitted earlier for Newspaper or Periodical Editor....as they have already reached VETASSESS for the previous assessment.

Hello All,

I had applied in the code 222311 "Financial Investment Advisor" in last November however unfortunately i have been assessed negative by the VETASSESS since by boss in my organisation goofed up in the background check, from the professional front i am a Treasury Dealer for a foreign bank in India.



From my further research, i found that there is a better matching skill code i.e. 222211 "Financial Markets Dealer" which exactly matches my profile however the code stands closed as of now in ACT. I also checked the SOL list as on 01-Jul-13 however couldnt find this code there as well.


Now i have an option to either reaply into the same skill code or reapply changing the skill to a better matching code. Request help from all you folks to understand that is this respective skill code i.e. 222211 available for immigration to ACT or any other state in Australia and if not then what are the chances for this code to be made available by July 2014 so that If i apply for reassessment into this code now then by the time my assessment outcome will be released I would be good to apply for EOI.

I donot wish to just apply for assessment into a code and sit quitely, i think there is no point actually hitting into a code which is closed as of now. Request some light from you all experienced fellow members.

Regards,
Ashesh

Hi guys,

I just applied for VET reassessment and I can't wait another 8-10 weeks for the reassessment.

Can someone advice a valid reason to write on the urgency request form.

Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Good news: IELTS 8,7,7.5,7.5. A big sigh of relief!

Warm regards

Dear all,

I had received negative assessment from Vetassess, for the position of office manager.
When I had asked for a detailed explanation they said I could apply as Site Supervisor because I work in a small size construction company.

Major responsibilities is to supervise the construction site and purchase materials for the companies trading business too. (Whole sale of timber, cement , etc..)

Am worried because I don't possess any qualification related to Civil Construction, I just hold my bachelor of business management.

Could you please guide me whether I should re-apply as Site Supervisor without relevant qualification.

Is re-assessment required if a positive outcome but number*of*yrs*assessed*positive?

I had applied for Vettasses GSM for which I got a positive outcome response today for my occupation Audiologist. But I have some doubts if I can still go ahead with my EOI

1. I see in my skill assessment outcome letter that the number of years assessed positively is 2.4 years. As I am still working in the SOL occupation, my experience will be 3 years in another 5 months. So do I need to apply for GSM skill assessment with Vettasses again?
2. If yes to the above question, is there an option for adding the additional experience with the current application as submitting a brand new application would cost a lot of money and time?

Can someone please help as I am stuck with my visa process :)

Vetassess fees payment trhough mail

This is regarding Applicants who have a positive Skills Assessment from VETASSESS and who now wish to add further employment to gain points for immigration purposes!

I need to fill in SRG35 form.

Since there is no online payment, they have asked for credit card details.

My doubt is , it is safe to provide credit card details through the mail?

Is there any other option?

I saw that demand draft is possible, but my bank does not have MICR code for their demand draft.

Moreover, it might take longer time.

Any advice??

When you apply for re-assessment under different occupation; the timeline will be the same as of a new assessment.

I had positive assessment for one occupation; then i re-applied for another occupation and the process took similar times.

Hi, I already have one assessment as a marketing specialist in last November. However, my occupation was under stream 2 which got closed. After a bit of research I can see one occupation under subclass 190 which is quite similar what I had assessed under Vetassess and presently doing.
My question is what are the chances for a positive result in 2nd assessment ? Secondly if 2nd assessment comes positive, what would be the status for 1st assessment.

Hello Prithvi, the Re-Assessment applications usually taken about 14 weeks or longer. In many cases, they have to conduct an integrity check [telephonic/physical vertification] as well. Your chances of being assessed positively depend upon the nature of tasks claimed by you in support of the occupation Program or Project Administrator.
