Can someone please evaluate my profile for approval chances of 489 visa.

Hi,

This is Sasidhar, from India, but currently living and working in USA as Java Developer. I am looking to apply for 489 subclass visa, through sponsorship from my first cousin, who is living & working in Melbourne. Can someone please evaluate my below profile and tell me if there could be any risk factors that can potentially cause the visa to be denied.

As said, I am currently located in US, and so planning to apply for the 489 visa Offshore, from here, being in US.

EDUCATION: I pursued Master of Science (MS) in CIS from State University of New York Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Poly) with 3.15 GPA in 2015. Back in India, I did B.Tech from JNTU, in 2010. Is there any possibility that 3 years of gap, between 2010 when I did B.Tech, and 2013, the year I entered US, pose to be an ISSUE, that can affect my chances for visa approval.

OTHER DETAILS: I am 27 years old, have got some work experience in US (but less than 3 years). Though I can meet the point requirement by getting sponsorship, skill assessment by ACA, and required IELTS band scores.

I can provide almost any document required to establish the above details mentioned.

ONE MORE THING I am worried about is skill assessment requirement. Please let me know if I can hope for sure, to get positive skill assessment by ACS, for my US work experience, and MS degree from a reputed US university.

Finally, can anyone please let me know if its TRUE or NOT that 489 visa is usually not rejected , when the applicant's profile and supporting documents are good enough to get approval.

Sorry I can't help but wanted to wish you luck.

I have sent you a PM.
