Re: Payment declined while submitting visa application for subclass 189

Re: Educational Documents Request After Submission of PCC and Medicals

Your nationality might be the reason. I think most of the applicants from Pakistan go through some "external security checks", whatever that means.
I am sure you will have your visa in no time:)

Re: Educational Documents Request After Submission of PCC and Medicals

I guess they can ask for any information at any time before the visa is granted... Are you from or have you been living in any of the countries they might consider "high risk"?
If not, these checks...

Re: Educational Documents Request After Submission of PCC and Medicals

wow, that's a lot of information. Quite a crazy request in my opinion... Especially the question about funding for primary, middle and high school - isn't it obvious considering that kids can't...

Re: Immigrate as Life Scientist

With 190 visa you can live anywhere in Australia. I couldn't find a job in the state that sponsored me (Victoria), so I moved to Sydney where I have been working for the past few months as a postdoc.

Re: Consolidated Sponsored Occupation List-University Lecturer

Re: Does this include any degree completed in Oversear?

No, just the degree done in Australia. Answering that question "yes" will add 5 points in your EOI, so if you only studied overseas, be careful with that question.

Re: Australian Immigration (vetassess and point test advice)

Actually the answer is yes. I got my employment as a PhD student assessed as work experience and I still have not received my PhD. I just recently got my visa (190) so I guess that has not changed.

Re: Australian Immigration (vetassess and point test advice)

Yep, and strangely they just require scientists to have a Bachelor degree. So everything afterwards counts as experience. I got my assessment based on PhD research.

Re: Australian Immigration (vetassess and point test advice)

That is enough experience to get positive assessment. The requirement for Agricultural Scientist is just a BSc degree so all experience after that is counted as skilled
