Hi Fizzy, I don’t think we can sadly but I’m not 100% about this. Good luck! Megan

hi does anyone know if the law modules You study to be admitted as a lawyer in Australia count towards the Australian study requirement to gain more points on the application? Like other I am assessing whether I should do the extra study and trying and get a visa as a solicitor as I’m only at 75 points and I know that isn’t enough at the moment. Any ideas on how to boost the points? thanks

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is doing ok and that your visa apps continue during these Difficult times. I was looking for advice on 186 visa. Boyfriend’s previous employer In Melbourne has said he is willing to sponsor him on 186 but he’s never done it before. He’s a small construction business. Do you know how complicated it is for the sponsor and if we will need a migration agent , and if you used one do you have any recommendations? thank you and good luck everyone

Thanks all

Hi, I have found this thread really interesting. j was wondering for some advice. My partner and I lived in Australia 2 years ago on a working holiday visa for 10 months. We can back to the UK so I could complete my training contract. I qualified as a solicitor last year and left my job after 3 months to work in policy as I didn’t think working a a solicitor was cut out for me. we are thinking of moving back on a 189 visa. My partner is in construction and on the skilled list but im not sure if we will get 65 points. I’m thinking of looking at what I would need to do for my qualifications to be recognised to apply for the Visa although I wouldn’t intend to practise as a solicitor once I was there. Is the first step for me to get my qualifications assessed by the relevant state and then be informed of the list of courses I need to take? If it’s just so that I have an eligible career on the skilled list and not to practise in aharealia as I would look for policy work, would I need to do the same amount of courses as you ? I’m finding the whole process really confusing... thanks for all your help !
