Hello,
I would really appreciate any assistance with fulfilling the criteria for the sub class 189/190 skilled visa applications.
Just a bit of background to my current situation - I came to Australia from the UK in July 2012 to study on exchange but ended up transferring to a university in Sydney thereby completing my degree in Australia.
This has allowed me to fulfil the two year study requirement at an undergraduate level.
I was then granted a temporary graduate visa at the beginning of 2015 which allows me to stay until June 2017.
I have been working for the NSW government since May 2015 but have only been in a direct policy role since April of this year (2016). I have done a couple of free points assessments and if I nominate my occupation as a 'Policy Analyst (224412)' with my native English language skills and education I am achieving around 70 points each time.
I was wondering how long you would have to have worked within your nominated occupation to be eligible to use it to apply for the 189/190 visa as I do not have the money currently to pay for a skills assessment from VETASSESS especially if it is probable it will be negative.
Thank you!
