Hi Wrussell Can this be done in this forum for consulting an agent? Apologies, I thought that this section was the right place??!!

Hi guys, First time posting on this/any forum but wanted some practical advice on determining the path to navigate in obtaining visa 189! I have chosen this visa as it fits into my requirements for permenant immigration with my family to australia. The queries I am mainly facing is for point/ means testing, where I am appearing to be just under the threshold of 60 points. Can someone clarify for me whether I need to boost my points by IELTS from the following circumstances? Proffesional engineer with Batchelors degree accredited by governing board Age: 38 UK citizen/ passport since birth Working experience: 15 years + in engineering environment Family: Will be dependant on me Also, final point is that my wife is South African born (English speaking) with a Portuguese passport (Dual nationality) from parentage. Does she need an English test fo which she is as competent as myself in the language; as she will be under my Visa application? Thanks in advance Adam
