Hi everyone,
Please, some advice in my case.
I am living in Melbourne. I am married and my wife is pregnant (3 months now).
I am working as a Butcher on 457 Visa since October last year. Unfortunately I cannot get my skills assessed through TRA and I will not get 186 Visa with my employer. And as everyone I want a PR and stay longer in Australia.
Back in my country I worked as a Production manager (manufacturing) and if everything ok, I will get my skills assessment from Vetassess next week or week after. My advisory service was very positive and I lodged all documents, so, I am confident.
Note: I do not have work experience as a Production Manager in Australia.
Points:
AGE: 32 = 30 Points now (after 05th of January is going to be 25 points).
English language ability = Competent English (IELTS L=7.0 / R=6.5 / W=6.0 / S=7.5 / Overall = 7.0), note: I am taking Pearson PTE in 3 weeks and I think I can get 10 points here.
Overseas Employment= 10 (5 years last 10 years)
Education qualifications= 15 points
State/Territory = 5 Points
Total points in the moment = 60 points
Total points if I get 65 in Pearson PTE or Ielts 7.0 each band = 70 Points
Could you guys give me some advice on the best way to apply for State Nomination or another way, strategies, etc......
Thanks,
