Dear all, I have two older children who have just quailed in trades. One being a electrician and one a mechanical engineer. The problem I now have is I’m going to apply for 189 visa, and I’m not sure they can be placed on there. But what visas could they apply for to be permanent, I don’t really like the idea of them only going on a two year working holiday visa as my understanding is they then have to come back to the uk ?

It will definitely be an agent then

Thank you, I guess so I was hoping not to use an agent and save some money:-) but think it might be my only option

Ah right they’re 21 and currently doing apprenticeships. My thoughts are by the time pass my IELTS and apply they will be in jobs

I plan to apply for 189 visa should I pay and my older children not be granted on my visa would I have their cost refunded ?

Thank you, it’s gutting but I only got till next year because I turn 40 and my points drop

Thanks all, same her to be honest I think I’ll be sticking to IELTS

That’s great I live in Wales to, awesome I’ll have a look thanks

Thanks Phil, were did you find a tutor

Thanks Phil, were did you find a tutor

Oh that’s great to know thank you

Thanks very Much for the correction !

It’s was the writing test I got 6.0 on and to be honest I thought I done really well in that section.

That’s really helpful thank you Wayne

Oh fab that’s excellent thank you so much

Hi amber I know I’m gutted if I had got 7.0 instead of one 6.0 that would have been enough for aphra and I would have sat the general one for a second time. But because I need 4 X 7.0 for aphra I’m going to have to redo the academic xx

Hi lavers, is thinking of 190 but would still need to resit I had 9.0, 7.5, 7.5 and 6.0 so would would need to resit for 7.0 over in each one for aphra but this will give me 10 points. So 10 points for visa and 190 would give me 70 points

Thanks Kaleem I will have a look into this test

I did think of doing different tests xx

Oh I know it’s so gutting I had 7.5,7.5,9.0 and a 6.0 :-( I had to do the academic test for aphra. With them I need 7 in each category. They will take it over 2 tests in 6 months so thankfully I am hoping to score over 7 in the one I need. But really want 4 x 8.0 for extra points for visa

Can anyone help, I’m trying to find if for 189 visa you can combine 2 IELTS sittings within six months like you are able to for APHRA. I can’t find any information on this, anyone know of any ? Thanks all

Thank you Marisa, they qualify in 6 months I’m positive they will still want to go. It’s just I don’t think they will have enough points for their own visa

Thank you very much all I agree lll get in touch with an agent

Oh that’s sounds more positive thank you very much.

I know it’s awful, it’s a shame that I’m able to go and they would also be able to offer something with their trades to
