Hi everyone, Im extremely desperate now and really really need your feedbacks from anyone who knows the right answer.
My case is I completed the Bachelor of science in the University of Queensland, then I also completed the Foundation level of Cpa (which is 8 subjects in total) and got my positive skill assessment from Cpa as an accountant.
I lodged my EOI with 65 points,nominated skill as Accountant, claiming 5 points toward Australian study requirement as my Bachelor degree was done in Australia and took 3 years. I got invitation at 1st round and already lodged my application.
Now, one of my friend showed me the link http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/2-year-study.htmwhich says I can only claim 5 points from Australian Study requirement only if my Bachelor is closely related to my nominated occupation, and in my case Bachelor of science is no related to nominated skill as an Accountant. Is it true that we can only claim 5 points if the study is relevant? I rang up Diac and told them abt the link and they even couldnt give me a straight answer, the lady told me that she needed to check it again and would get back to me in a week.
Anyone used to claim points from unrelated qualifications? please please let me know. I would appreciate sooo much !!!!
If I cant claim those 5 points, i have to withdraw the application, lose all money and start over again. I dont want that and im so stressed now.
