Hello, I submitted EOI for visa subclass 190 with 65 points hoping that the additional 5 points from state sponsorship will earn me a total of 70 points. In view of the highly competitive nature of my nominated occupation (Accountant: General), I have been thinking of how to increase my points and get an invitation to apply. My occupation appears on both SOL and CSOL lists; the closest occupation that match my spouse's current job role is "Financial Institution Branch Manager" which also appears on CSOL. My questions; -Has anyone on this forum gotten a positive assessment from VETASSESS on "Financial Institution Branch Manager" or a closely related occupation? What documents did you submit to get a "winning" application? -In view of the acclaimed tough nature of VETASSESS, is it worth it to stake AUD810 on their skill assessment and hope to get a positive assessment from them? What has been flashing through my mind for the past few days is the possibility getting additional 5 points from "partner points" since both "Accountant: General" and "Financial Institution Branch Manager" are on CSOL list. -If we are going ahead with VETASSESS, would it be necessary to go through their Skill Assessment Support (SAS) which includes Document Checking and Consultation Services and spend additional AUD330 on that? Any special benefits? -Beyond the advertised timeline, how long does VETASSESS assessment takes in reality? Any ideas of the probable dates of selection by NSW for my profile: 221111: Accountant (General); EOI date 31-10-2016; IELTS Results L-8.5, R-8, S-.7.5, W-7.5 (overall score of 8); 15 point on experience, 25 points on age.
