I did, inquiring on behalf of my brother in law.

Hi Paul Thanks Paul What do you mean by Family Stream is that for the same visa but family instead of state sponsor

Hi Just inuring if anyone has recently applied for 491 regional visa and how many points they has to receive an invitation to apply?

I emaliled the CO ans she said hubby can travel on his own as there are no conditions. It woulld be better if he went over before us and settles and gets a job. Our family is in lansdale so will be living with them for few months before renting a place.

Hello Stevie Thanks, will find out from the CO, what part of Perth are you settling to and when are you moving. We have not been to see Perth but have family there and we looking to move in Jan next year as our entry date is by mid Feb.

I have emailed the case worker so wait for the response from her. The visa condition is Nil so I assume that he can travel before me .

Hi Teacherben Do you know whether my husband can enter Australia before me. I am the main applicant and he wants to go and have a look before we move with the children early Jan. If not I assume he can go on a visitor visa.

Hi You need to be a member of the ACCA to claim 15 points. This is what I claimed. also if you are claiming for work experience then they only consider experience after the member ship date. I got my skills assessed by CPA and it was equivalent to a bachelors degree.

Hi Eddie Which removal company have you used and wot did they charge

thanks, we are planning to go by Jan next yr and go visit sometime this year.

Hi Teacherben Got my grant this morning, great relief from yesterday. Didnt expect the quick response from the CO within a day. Thanks you for all your help and advice it was very useful. We are moving to perth, which city are you planning to go to and when

Thank you for all your responses on this forum, it has been a great help. it has been a quick turnaround logged the visa application on 2 Jan got the grant today stress over now, need to start planning the move know as we looking to move early Jan next year to Perth in time for the new school year

Hey Guys We got our grant this morning, It was a quick turnaround considering I only emailed the police checks to the CO last night and received the email this morning. will be moving to Perth in Jan 15. Has anyone been there. any comments for the place

Hello DianaK I had spoken to a few agents about claiming the points for 8 years work experience and was told that the DIAC does not give points based on the CPA employment assessment and I would be able to put through the 8 years hence I declared that otherwise I would still have received an invitation on 65 points and not gone through the hassle of collection evidence for the other 3 years.

Hello Teacherben The CO said that I can only claim work experience for 5 years rather than 8 years hence the drop to 65 points as the letter from CPA mentioned that experience is only recognised from my membership date which means 5 years of experience. The CO said in the email this On 16 December 2013 you received an invitation from the Department to apply for a SkillSelect visa subclass SI189. The score stated in the invitation was 70. This score was based on the information you provided in your SkillSelect Expression of Interest (EOI). I have reviewed your claims on which your invitation score was based. I am satisfied that you made an inadvertent error when entering your details into SkillSelect about : · claimed to have employment experience of 8 years in the last 10 years when you have only evidenced skilled employment for 5 years in the last 10 years as evidenced by your Skills Assessment, which states that only your employment from 22 November 2008 equates to work at an appropriately skilled level as a 221111 – Accountant (General). I find that your invitation score is actually 65. I note that this invitation score of 65 would still have led to an invitation being issued in subsequent invitation rounds since you applied. I am therefore seeking your permission to correct the score to reflect the actual score of 65. As you are aware, a mandatory criterion for the grant of the visa for which you have applied requires that the applicant’s points test score assessed by the visa case officer is not less than the score stated in the invitation to apply for the visa (‘invitation score’). I have provisionally assessed your points test score as 65. Subject to your agreement to correct the score to reflect your actual invitation score, I will then consider your assessed points test score against the actual invitation score. so she is saying that she will correct the EOI score to 65. Hope this will be ok, fingers crossed.
