I am being sponsored by my relative who stays in Melbourne, so that means i can stay anywhere in the Melbourne right?

But the thing is, i was told by my agent that i will need to work in my nominated occupation and i tried finding the source of information from the immigration website but couldn't find one..so bit confused

Hi,

Can you please clarify if a 489 FS is required to work under the designated occupation for 1 year?

 

 

Possibly but perhaps not.

 

What date is given in your ACS letter where it says "The following employment after (DATE) is considered to equate to work at an appropriately skilled level and relevant to (YOUR OCCUPATION)".

You can only claim points for experience after that date.

My ACS results are with my agent, got to ask him again.

Thanks for your inputs and suggestions

There is no option for family sponsor for 189, you will not have enough points.

 

if you want 189, you will need to re-do IELTS.

But i have 3 years of experience, i can claim 5 points right?

If you are being sponsored by a relative it is not a 189 you are applying for it is the 489, that coupled with the pro-rata invites for your occupation will be the reason why you have not been invited yet.

 

when did you turn 25

July 1st last year

Did your agent send you your EOI points calculation and does it show what you've posted?

 

I only ask because the 189 page ( http://www.immi.gov.au/Visas/Pages/189.aspx ) says:

 

 

 

So I don't think the 10 points for relative sponsorship would be valid for the 189 visa. In fact, on the 'How points are awarded' section it says that's for the 489 visa only (sponsored to work in a regional area).

 

I might be wrong but it could be handy to check this with your agent.

Yes he is a registered agent, I have checked that.

It took me three attempts to get my current Ielts results.

How about PTE this time, will it help? And how many points do i need to claim 20 points for superior english?

I have mailed my agent to ask if he has applied for 489 or 189 :dull:

Hi All,

I have submitted my EOI for 189 visa under the 2613 category as a software engineer in April 2014 and still haven't received any invitation. My agent is handling the whole process and i have been sponsored by my uncle.

Timeliness are as follows

1. Appeared for Ielts and scored overall 8 bands (L 8.5/R 8/S 8/W 7)

2. Received positive assessment from ACS in November 2013

3. EOI submitted in April 2014

and still waiting for the invitation

At the time of submitting EOI i received only 25 points for my age but now i have turned 25 so i suppose the system should have updated my age points

My points breakdown is

Age: 30 (25 at the time of EOI submission)

Degree: 15

English : 10

Sponsorship by relative :10

Total: 65 (60 at the time of EOI submission)

So my question is what could have gone wrong that i still didn't receive any invitation?
