VIII - Assessment result

The assessment takes 12 weeks for Engineer’s Australia. On March of 2010 the positive result was sent thru email by Bert. It just mentioned that the appropriate occupational classification in my case for migration purposes is Plant Engineer ASCO 2126-13. It created some excitement but more excitement came in when he listed the ways in which visa can be obtained. Attached with the Assessment result is seemingly good news as within the email are 3 ways of applying for an Australian visa.

The first way is thru sponsorship by the state government of Victoria. This is the fastest as processing takes only 2-3 weeks. Bert asked for some requirements before lodging the application and came back after the said timeline with a negative result. The second is the family sponsorship, which needs a relative residing in Australia. This did not work either my relative is cousin of my mother. She was used as a reference though.

And the last way, should the first and second one won’t work, is the independent visa category. This takes the longest time but I had no choice then. Bert gave me a breather when he said that it may take it less time as the occupation is on the critical skill list. Needed to take the longer road and I am very positive that this will work. Batch 2 is next.

Note: Australian regulation changes often that forms filled up, regulations and even critical skill list may vary. Be aware on the latest list they provide. April that year, changes will be made so he asked me to be quick in sending the documents needed before they implement the new rules.
