Hi all,
I am after a bit of advice please.
We are looking to migrate to Oz on a 189 visa as a management accountant.
I have today sent a ream of paperwork to CPA to get my skills assessment and work history and degree approved to get some points.
So if this goes well I will have
15 points for BA Hons degree
15 points for 10 yrs work history
20 points for English (IELTS done)
and 15 points for age.
Which hits the magic 65 points to lodge an EOI.
However..
I loose 15 points for age in July as I become old (45).
So as I know things move slowly I am now slightly concerned about what happens if I submit the EOI in March (assuming a positive CPA reply which will take 3 weeks from now) and then wait say 2 months to be picked I am in May before I can apply for a visa.
If this then takes 3 - 4 months to progress do I loose the 15 points and a chance of a visa, or are the points 'frozen' at the time of the EOI invitation?
Sorry for the long winded question
Thanks in advance
Jon
