Thanks Marisa, greatly appreciated.  I asked my RMA a series of questions exactly a week ago and I pointed out the 85 points threshold.  I haven't heard back yet - something I find really frustrating.  I don't know whether it's normal to wait this long for a reply with RMAs or whether it's an indication that my case is 'unlikely' and therefore not a priority.  I just don't know.

Thank you for being honest and telling me how it is!

Hey Bern

Many thanks for the reply.  My partner has NVQ Diploma Level 3.  No degrees.  I'm certain she would get a high English result.  My RMA has presented me with various Visa's I could be eligible for, but hasn't really guided me towards which one might be the most suitable.  I guess I'm asking for a little help in choosing which one would most likely yield the result I'm looking for!

My RMA usually takes 10 - 14 days to reply to me.  I'm wondering if this is normal response time and I'm just impatient, or whether I should consider changing my counsel?

Many thanks for the prompt replies.  I've asked my RMA on the points from both of you.  I dare say it will be a week or two before I hear back.  That's the norm with my Agents.

Hi PIO Forum

I'm seeking your help in making the decision on which Visa I should pursue.  A few days ago I received a positive skills assessment by the ACS for my occupation 261112 - Systems Analyst.  With a superior English Score (I still need to sit this exam), I would score:

• 65 points - 189 without Sponsorship
• 70 points - 189 with Sponsorship
• 75 points - 189 with Regional Nomination
• 70 points - 190 with Regional Nomination
• 75 points - 489 with Regional Nomination

I am 42, from UK, ultimately seeking PR, with De Facto spouse, no kids.

I notice on the latest Invitation Rounds that my occupation currently requires 85 points to get an invitation.  Does this mean there is little hope and little point in continuing to apply?

I should also be choosing which visa type is best suited for my application.  What's your view?  According to my MARA Agent, I might also be eligible for an ENS Visa.

Thanks for your help!
