Well with the high points for this visa which is needed , I’m thinking we won’t ever get accepted. 70 points metal fabricator Do you think we stand any chance ? We haven’t put in for it yet as we’ve had quite a lot going on over the past few months. But with what I’ve been reading over the forum lately I’m wondering if it’s at all possible. We’re looking at the 189 as it’s the perm visa and with 4 children we need the security. Thanks x

Yes plenty more revision, and hopefully fingers crossed all will be well!

Thank you both I’ll try again and fingers crossed , we get the points we need

Results back this morning gutted 8.5 in each category , except writing score of 6 giving overall score of 8! This means no points gained and have to re take the bleeding test again [emoji849]

Yes your right, maybe if my situation were different and they seen him every weekend I wouldn’t dream of taking them away from him... I’d of given my right arm for him to have something to do with mine and have that relationship but he’s just not interested at all.. and it’s such a shame he will be the one who regrets it eventually.

It’s good to read people’s opinions, regarding this matter.. my children are 14 and 13 and haven’t seen there dad for 5 years, he lives a few miles away and as never bothered with them. Not a phone call or anything! Just a useless piece of **** My children want to go.. and I’ve told them what will happen if he doesn’t agree and there both happy to go to court and put there point across if asked... I hope you get things sorted out

No there’s no 190 for Perth for metal fabricator that’s the only downside it would mean going to another state.. that’s the predicament we’re in [emoji21]

Hi just wanted peoples thoughts, what do you think our chances are? Husband is metal fabricator, passed vet assessment. Passed eng exam So in total we have 70 points now, we can not gain anymore points. We are wanting to go to Perth, preferably on a 189 as we have family there but ovs were not sure if we will get accepted due to the points we have as they only want high points with what I’ve read, so to keep our options open we are also thinking of a 190 I’d just like to hear people’s opinions, if they think we would be accepted for the 189 as that’s the one we really want! Thanks Jodie x

Aww that’s brilliant.. I wish you all the very best with everything [emoji5]

Thanks for the reply, no I understand the fees for the visa itself, I just thought you had to have some kind of settlement fees... and show them your assets etc Maybe I have read it wrong somewhere along the line [emoji85] We’re unsure which visa yet as my husband needs to sit the pte once he’s done that and we know where we stand with points then we can move forward with the application! I have already had a quote from pet air for my pooch, so I know where I stand with that.. I’m just trying to get all the info we need at the min

Hi , as were looking towards either the 189 or state sponsorship with nsw for the 190 Does anyone know the funds required for the 190? I have googled but can’t seem to find any information regarding the funds for NSW Thanks [emoji4]

We are still waiting to hear of them, hopefully it won’t be much longer now fingers crossed!! My husband is a metal fabricator, there seems to be more work for his occupation in nsw and Victoria.. I have family over in WA and was hoping to go to Perth to be honest, but it all depends on the points we have when he’s sat the pte then we will know what we’re looking at visa wise.. it’s just so daunting the whole process..

Brilliant thanks for the reply , yes we have looked into doing the pte first.. it’s definitely worth a shot at!! Can I ask what visa your going for ? And where abouts in oz

Hi just wondering on how long the wait is normally for the technical interview?? As anyone got an idea, My husband is applying for the metal fabricator, all relevant evidence as been submitted.... he’s worked for the same employer for the last 20years so it was pretty easy to get all the evidence together really... we also now need to book the English test just unsure on which one to take [emoji85]

Hahaha no I’m up north ? i love the south of England it’s definitely a beautiful place we always go to Torquay ,we did think about going down south but then I still wouldn’t be near my sister... and that’s what I really want.. as well as a nice upbringing for my children.. thanks for replying to me though if I think of any questions I’ll ask you for sure x
