Hi guys..

I am Marine engineer (ships engineer - occupation code 231212) and have got my skill assement done from AMSA.
Unfortunately they did not credit my marine engineering degree and gave me an equivalent of Advanced diploma AQTP thereby
making me short of 5 points - i.e 55.
My ielts scores are
IELTS SCORE - written 7 , speaking 8 , reading 8.5 , listening 8.5 thus it as selects 7 as the skill level!

Now it seems I have 2 options either I take my Ielts again and get 8 in each section atleast or I apply for a state sponsorship under 190.
I am looking at NSW and VIC as the two states for this..

Can you help me with the following:
1. Can I select more than 1 no. of states for state sponsorship?
because the skill select doesnt allows me to select more than 1 option.
2. If I happen to opt for the state sponsorship can I still opt for 189 as well i.e if i get a better score in IELTS and happen to cross the 60 points hurdle?
3. How exactly should I file for state nomination as I assume the NSW nomination would re-open somewhere in October ..
And what about VIC?

Looking forward to your help guys!

Hi mohit,

1. For NSW SS, you need to select NSW only.
2. Yes, you can change your EOI to 189 if you will get desire band scores in future. But at the same time you should not have any approved state nomination.
3. Yes, NSW nomination will open in few days most probably on 14 Oct and for VIC it is already opened. Yet, it is advisable to try for NSW first, if successful you will be lucky. But if you will not able to come in Que then go for VIC, they will take 3-4 months.

All the best.....!!!

In the document called: NSW Nomination for a Skilled - Nominated visa (subclass 190)
Process Flowcharts it says that the documents must be colored copies of the originals, however, how would they understand what's written in the papers if, let's say, my graduation diploma is in a foreign language?

You need to translate that document in to English language....

Good Morning HWarraich,

I really want to thank you for starting this thread.

I got reject from VIC yesterday, after 14 weeks of wait and NSW is my only hope.

I couldn't sleep whole night yesterday and I am really very tensed.

I was going through experience of people who applied for NSW in July and seems like it wasn't good.

The many of their servers crashed and people faced lot of issues, many couldn't complete their application as the 1000 entries in their code was filled.

I read somewhere on the other websites that people who tried to fill the form last time might have an advantage since their browsers must have cached the entries and they can use auto-fill option.

Can people who have already applied for NSW in the first round please please share the questions here and the list of documents required.

This will really help us prepare ourselves in advance, as the rush will be tremendous even this time.

GOD PLEASE BLESS ME.

Very gud mrng dear.....!!!!

Its really disappointing that VIC rejected your SS....what is your intended occupation ?

Going forward, Yes indedd, last time it was filled within 40 min and thats why people predict that servers crashed.

Not 1000 applications in their code mate infacy there are total 1000 for all codes.

At last, don't know that people tried last time can have the advantage. As I confirm from someone who was successful that there are pop down options instead of manual data entry.

I am in process of finding I formation about all required documents and questions. Will share soon....!!!!

Guys,

Shouldn't we be making a checklist and be ready accordingly.

Below are the things required for filling the online application form:
EOI Number
Nominated Occupation
Checklist (Not sure what this is)
Self-Assessment
Migration Agent Details (if applicable)
Applicant Details
Dependants


Scan copy of below documents need to be uploaded:
Resume
Skills assessment
English language ability
Educational qualifications
Bio-data page of Passport
Evidence for other points related claims

Now we all need to collectively find what questions/information are present in the online application form, so that we can have it prepared in the notepad file.

Regards,

Hi
Its color scan.Apart from the above,we need to clarify on technical aspects.Somewhere it was mentioned to go for specific internet explorer version to avoid hangup issues but NSW clearly stated to use chrome.Any feedback based on past experience is welcome.

Hi Guys,

I've two queried regarding filling the form for NSW
1. In my passport I don't have a Surname (it is blank). I only have given Names (Abdul Waheed). But in the form the Given Name/s and Last Name is Mandatory. What should I do?
2. In the work experience section while calculating points- Should I put the work experience assessed by ACS or my actual work experience?

Thanks!
 
#60 ·
Hi abdul
1. No worries if you dont have surname in your passport, suppose your name is abdul waheed in given name field. fill given name in form " abdul waheed" and fill last name in field " waheed". Bcoz they are asking for last name , not for family name or surname. Anyways you have to upload biodata page of passport so dnt worry.
2. Upload actual work exp. With refernce letters bcoZ IF THEY NEEd any verification they will made from your organisation or employer.

If you have any info regarding this please share guys

Good contribution to this thread.....keep it up....!!!

Hey Guys,

Do I need to upload reference letters, if I don't score any points for work experience, but I still have relevant assessment from ACS?
 
#65 ·
you dont have to upload any work related docs if you are not claiming any points for experience. ACS letter is more than enough. Dont waste time uploading unnecessary docs. Being a NSW applicant one of the 1000 is like winning a lottery. Goodluck.
