Make sure you can get around condition 8503 "The holder will not, after entering Australia, be entitled to be granted a substantive visa, other than a protection visa, while the holder remains in Australia" which is a visa condition often imposed on working holiday visas

190.411: The applicant may be in or outside Australia when the visa is granted...

Hi Dippenhall, It is possible to apply for a 189/190 onshore and include dependent applicants who are offshore in the application. Fitzpatrick Immigration Australia fitzpatrickia.com MARN 1576327

Hi jodipodi, If the applicant applies for a 190 visa onshore in Australia while his family are in the UK, the applicant would have to be in Australia when the 190 is decided. His family, at the time of the application living in the UK, would have to be in the UK when the 190 is decided. The applicant could apply for an Australian Bridging Visa B after applying for the 190 to allow him to visit his family in the UK. His family in the UK will not receive any Australian bridging visas.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics website, which has the ANZSCO on it, says that you can substitute at least 5 years of relevant work experience for the formal qualification (the bachelor degree)

A previous employer in India can sign a statutory declaration for the purpose of an ACS assessment

I would say yes. Given the discussion on another forum particularly "Sounds like the other posters here have explained things well - ACS requires 6 years for the RPL (recognition of prior learning) skills assessment - after the 6 years, you are considered skilled. If you had a closely related IT bachelor degree then it would be a different story - at ACS if you have a non-IT degree you can go for RPL instead (fortunate, as many skills assessors do not offer an RPL option). It sounds like you may have misunderstood the ACS regulations - that the 6 years essentially "substitutes" for an IT degree, and that just like an IT degree, you're only considered "skilled" when you've completed the degree. In your case you were considered skilled when you had completed the 6 years of work required for the RPL option."
