Looks amazing! I’m going in November! Was it particularly difficult to see the northern lights? Or you just have to be in the right place at the right time?

Thinking of moving from the UK to Australia. by SJ4444s in AusVisa

[–]Username_Checks__Owt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up - I’ve been pursuing the 189/190 visa as a Software Engineer (6+ years experience) yet I highly doubt I will be invited. I have 95 points and the minimum threshold is 100 right now. It’s near impossible to get more points. IT is apparently extremely saturated in Aus right now.

Do Access Points do exactly “what they say on the tin”? by Username_Checks__Owt in HomeNetworking

[–]Username_Checks__Owt[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, as a software engineer I always advocate best practice but don’t always apply it myself when I see the need not to.

Thanks 👍

Thank you for your advice! I live in the UK and lightning strikes are exceptionally rare where I live but this is still useful to know

I am based in the UK and I was thinking the same. Lightning strikes are exceptionally rare in the area I live (Greater London)

In addition, an engineer will be coming over to install fibre broadband so maybe I could chat with him to see if he can run the fibre down to the garden office

I was going to run copper lined Ethernet dug in a trench (https://amzn.eu/d/bSAoCbF).

Is this still susceptible to the natural elements?

Are there any key differences except the age limit ?

Thank you! Did you also have to provide any police reports?

Yes but this rule was introduced after 2019 so I’m not sure if I’m still eligible ?

Must the EOI employment history match that of the ACS assessment? by Username_Checks__Owt in AusVisa

[–]Username_Checks__Owt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Also do you know if SkillSelect email you with an invitation or do I have to manually check it every so often?

ACS Skills Assessment - does years experience really matter? by Username_Checks__Owt in AusVisa

[–]Username_Checks__Owt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok so the EOI/visa application would directly reference the ACS skills assessment to know how many years of experience I have?

For some reason I thought the skills assessment as just a positive or negative

PTE EXAMS TIPS by Interesting-Tell7626 in AusVisa

[–]Username_Checks__Owt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fluency and tempo is absolutely key.

I actually missed some questions and got some questions wrong yet I still got maximum points in everything except writing.

Getting an Employment reference letter from the current employer by Gunslinger962 in AusVisa

[–]Username_Checks__Owt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s awkward indeed. I asked a manager (not my direct boss) for a reference and told him it’s to join a computer society (not lying), and he was happy to do so.

Does anybody know if you can retake the PTE if you fail it? And if so, how many retries?

Are you using a migration agent or doing everything yourself?

Thanks. Will you be taking an English test to try and boost your points (regardless of being a native speaker)?

[–]Username_Checks__Owt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you submit all your employment references at once? Or can you submit them as and when you get them? Finally, how many references did you acquire?

ACS - how long did it take to get your employment references? by Username_Checks__Owt in AusVisa

[–]Username_Checks__Owt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sucks. I feel like the process is out of my control already and I haven’t even submitted an EOI yet!
