Hi,
My partner and I are looking to apply for a 189 visa.
Our points are as follows:
25 points for being 24
20 points for IELTS 8 (hopefully)
15 points for a BA(Hons)
=60 points
I am currently in my NQT year of teaching and so currently only have four months in the job.
Being a skilled visa, for which you must have "an occupation that is on the relevant skilled occupation list", what counts as "having an occupation"? How long must I have been in the job to apply? I know I can only get points once I have been in the job for at least three years but can I apply before then?
I don't want to pay money for a skills assessment etc. and find I can't apply for two years, then find my skills assessment has expired.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Kris
