Hi Wrussell

Can this be done in this forum for consulting an agent? Apologies, I thought that this section was the right place??!!

Hi guys,

First time posting on this/any forum but wanted some practical advice on determining the path to navigate in obtaining visa 189!

I have chosen this visa as it fits into my requirements for permenant immigration with my family to australia. The queries I am mainly facing is for point/ means testing, where I am appearing to be just under the threshold of 60 points.

Can someone clarify for me whether I need to boost my points by IELTS from the following circumstances?

Proffesional engineer with Batchelors degree accredited by governing board

Age: 38

UK citizen/ passport since birth

Working experience: 15 years + in engineering environment

Family: Will be dependant on me

Also, final point is that my wife is South African born (English speaking) with a Portuguese passport (Dual nationality) from parentage.

Does she need an English test fo which she is as competent as myself in the language; as she will be under my Visa application?

Thanks in advance

Adam
