Hello again, I realised that if I apply before May 2019, when I will turn 33 I am actually considered still as 32 year old, therefore if apply in April 19 instead of October, my points breakdown is; 30 points for age 15 points for bachelor degree 20 points for English 0 points for experience (I will have 1 year experience since obtaining degree) 5 points for nomination = 70 points Can someone please advise if that would work? Also, what happens if I receive no invite, can I apply again in couple of years? Than you Magda

Thank you Ferretts, very kind of you. My points breakdown as at Oct 2019 will be; 25 points for age 15 points for ACCA 20 points for English 0 points for experience (I will have 1 year experience since obtaining degree) 5 points for nomination = 65 points, if all goes well. Is getting accredited in a community language difficult? I also speak Polish. I have been working hard for the past 1.5 year with an aim to apply for a skilled visa, I hope odds for accountants improve next year... Best Regards, Magda

Hello, I was wondering if you could kindly provide some advice. I decided to apply for Australian skilled visa and have been studying to become an accountant since 1 year and a half. I should be able to obtain accounting bachelors degree in October 2018 and hopefully become an ACCA member in July 2019. I am looking to apply Sep-Oct 2019 and if all goes according to a plan, considering current guidelines, I will have 60 points (including 5 for state nomination). I currently work as management accountant and at the point of applying for visa, I will have 1 year of relevant experience (2 years overall, 1 since bachelors). I have recently read about threshold increase to 75 points, is that correct? If so, are you able to advice what can I do to obtain more points? Additionally, is membership to ACCA considered as masters or bachelor level? Thank you, Magda
