Yes, we have claimed the points and revived an invite. The issue lies when the points are entered into the online application form it isn’t giving an option for partner English. Our agent is dealing with it but just wanted to know if anyone has the same issue Thanks

Hi My wife is 28 and yes she holds UK passport. Both born in the UK. Thanks

Hi all, We are at the stage of submitting our visa application. Wh have received an invite, we are going in the 190 to SA. My agent hasn’t submitted the application as she has stated that when she is selecting the points for partner section it’s only giving her the option for skills and not English. She said she doesn’t want to submit it because it won’t match the EOI! Has anyone had this problem?? If so what did you do? Thank you.

Hi, we are using concept Australia. Had no issues and they are very thorough. Recommend them! Based in Kent [emoji1360]

Yes if you could that would be great! I hope this change in November isn’t going to effect us too much! They are closing the 190 application from November 16th to early December (date to be confirmed) my EOI and state nom form is in. However if I get an invite where does that leave me?

Thanks for the reply! it goes smoothly and quickly

Wow pretty quick for you! What is co contact? Hope you get it soon!

Hi all, Would love some insight on how long we have left! On Monday we submitted our EOI and state nom application. I am a plumber and submitted with 70 points, we are going to SA on the 190 visa! I know the processing times are 12-14 weeks for the EOI but would love to know any trades that have applied for the same state on the same visa? Thanks

How did you get on with it all? Has your husband had any luck with the English? My advice is to go onto e2language and buy a package! I’ve sat the IELTS 2x and did not get the 7’s however, I sat the Pearson’s and had the 7s 65 + points. Be good to know how you have progressed? Martyn

Sorry, should have been more specific, we will be moving to Adelaide. Do you know of any near there? Thanks for the reply.

I get that but as it stands I don’t get any points for my wife anyway? However when the points changed I will receive 5 points, additional to this, the single folk will get 15? That’s not fair on people with partners? I’m a little confused and don’t know enough about it. Fingers crossed they will remain at 65points for 190 to SA.

Thanks for the insight! Will take it all on board.

Thanks for the reply. Is there much point tho? If they are raising the points given why raise the points required? It would even it out and defeats the object, unless I’m missing something?

Hope it all works out well for you! Keep me updated on your progress! I can’t even get the 7s reading and writing are an issue for me! Going to try the Pearson’s in a hope to boost my points!

Hi all, Can anyone enlighten me and give me a glimmer of hope? I’m currently sat on 55points for migration to SA (65points required) With the new changes in November we would meet the criteria of 65 points to summit an EOI. What is the chance SA for the 190 will raise their points criteria above 65 after or before the new changes take place? Thanks in advance

I would love to know this! Will have 65 points on November 15th. Enough to apply for SA. What are the chances that they will require more points before or after that date? Thanks in advance

I bet mate that’s awesome, hoping to head to Adelaide too! What part of Adelaide are you going to?

Thanks mate that takes a lot of stress off my shoulders. My EOI will be logged shortly just gathering all my documents for the application at present. Are you in Aus now? What state have you gone for?

I hope you right given the fact that my wife also has a skill on the shortage list and we will be taking our two children maybe we would be the likely candidates see how it goes, I’m still going to keep ploughing on with the English just to boost the points if necessary.

Concept Australia, they have been pretty good to be fair. Yes sorry the 190 is what I’m hoping to go for! 55 at present. 5 for partner and 5 from state when the new changes take place.

Apparently SA are accepting on 65points? So my agent informed me?

I’m fixed on Adelaide now, our intention was to go to Perth but after doing some research on jobs etc it didn’t seem there are many plumbing jobs available. I don’t care what visa as-long as we get to Adelaide without doing the English I’m happy lol [emoji23]

I got 8 both times in IELTS, I had better get practising my robot voice! [emoji23] My question is will I be able to get there quickly without doing the English? The 489 isn’t a permanent visa?

Yes Darren has given me some tips. To be honest I think speaking is going to be my downfall as I stumble over my words under pressure! Let me know how it all goes for you! Hope you get it this time [emoji1360]

Ahhh I know! Good luck! I’ve only sat the IELTS twice and scored 6.5 in the reading both times stopping me from getting the 10 points! Giving the PTE a go next month! However, it’s completely different and feel quite anxious about it all!
