Thanks everyone for all your advice it’s been a great help. And thanks for the recommendations.

This does sound like a better option for us. Do you have any recommendations for a migration agent?

Jetblast How different is the 489 to the 189 visa?

Jetblast, maybe I’m thinking of a different sponsorship? Queensland is definitely where we want to live as my sister and family are there, do they do a state sponsored 489 do you?

When we first spoke to an agent my husband was a Carpenter/Joiner and was scored 60, so we’re going to apply for a 189. We were told that we wouldn’t be accepted for a state sponsored visa because my sister lives in Queensland which at the time didn’t do that visa and a different state wouldn’t take us knowing we wanted to be in Queensland. Has this changed?

Thanks everyone for your help. Looking into it more and finally finding the points calculator on the gov website it looks like we will need to have an English test to boast my husbands points up. Marisawright how would I find out how many points my husbands job needed?

My husband and I were told by a migration agent in 2016 that my husband needed to do an English test before we started the visa process. Since then, the agent kind of dumped us so we’ve decided to try applying for the visas ourselves, but looking at the Australian government site it says for competent English you only need to have a British passport if not then you have to do the test. Am I right in thinking he gets the points for having a british passport or am I just wishful thinking?

Hi, My husband and I would like to start the visa process soon, but over the last few months we’ve noticed my husband seems to be dairy intolerant, he’s reluctant to go to the doctors to get it investigated in case this causes medical issues when we come to that stage of our applications as we’ve had medical issues holding us back regarding my son so doesn’t want to add more complications. Am I right in assuming we will be ok to have this on his medical records? Any suggestions will be a huge help
