We had lots of good advice from people on this forum when we were considering the 457 visa route. And we have consequently put that on the back burner. So now looking at more permanent visa options.
Our aim is a 190 State Sponsorship visa. But we are on 55 points. Tantalisingly close. My question is if we can reach the magic 60 with 5 partner points. And we can't quite get to the bottom of it
My job code is on the SOL, the CSOL and the State Sponsorship list for Victoria. Unfortunately I'm 46 years old, hence the lack of points. My wife's job is only on the CSOL. Can we make her points count towards a 190 visa for Victoria? We are both on the CSOL list, even though I'm also on the others too.
We have approached a recommended agent to ask, but the responses are really slow, and are kind of half answers, which just prompt further questions from us, which is frustrating. And I guess may not auger well for the answer we want. Am guessing if we were an obvious 60 the replies would be quicker! But this is crucial for us, and we're anxious about it, so we thought we might get something clearer from people on this site.
Thanks in advance for any help
