Hey Wrussel

Thanks for the reply.

You are definitely correct about the online points calculators. I have not achieved the 65 points which i originally stated and i am going through the process of getting my aqf which starts on Monday. Its such a minefield of information out there. I may yet decide to go with a migration agent but i have heard some horror stories from those who have used them but also horror stories from those who done their own applications.!

Cheers

Dave

Rupert. You have hit the nail on the head. I have totally miscalculated somewhere along the line. I am just wondering now if i can actually use my degree at all as it is totally unrelated to what skills select will be assesing me for. I am confused though as they state to put down the highest qualification that you have. Any advice anybody?

Cheers Dave

Sorry Rupert I should of explained that I got my high points on an online visa points calculator. I get high points as I have a bachelors degree.

Hey all.

As this is my first post on this i will try and keep it as short as possible.

I am going to apply for the 189 visa

My name is Dave and i am based in Leeds but originally from Ireland. My wife and I are hoping to emigrate to Perth next year.My trade fibrous plasterer (dry liner/ceiling fixer in UK) is on the list and i have done some of the online points calculators and am hitting 65 without doing my English test.

I am hitting high points as i have a Bachelors Degree in an unrelated subject (business management). Not sure if this will be good or bad for my application?

My wife is a primary school teacher which is not on the list.

I still have to undertake my AQF 3 and sit my English test.

Any advice regarding 189 visa will be appreciated.

Cheers

Dave

Would like any advice fro people who are in the process at the moment and maybe expected timescales etc.

With regards the IELTS i have been told my everyone i have spoken to that it should be done. People have told me that immigration look on it as someone who is prepared to go one step further etc.

Any advice regarding 189 visa will be appreciated
