Hi great thanks for getting in touch, are you also doing plumber application and 70 + 5? 

Our lawyer thinks our chances are pretty low at the mo, so good to hear someone else thinks there's a good chance!

Hi 

I really hope so, I think if the electrician can get in with same points we stand a chance for the plumbers  hopefully l, we are still just collating info for skills test and booking English test etc, which English test did you do ? Good luck hope you get your invite soon

I'd definitely recommend them, plenty of info. Answered all my questions, passed me onto an migration agent who gave me the details I needed. 

I will be using them, however my situation is probably different to yours, but I'm trying to find an employer in Aus that's willing to sponsor me. Once I've got this I can get all my paperwork sorted with DUC. 

The email correspondence I've received has all been FOC, and a couple of phone calls too. All worth it just for the knowledge. 

If you do with them, they do charge extra to be part of some special forum or something or other. From what I understand this isn't really needed, as you can get that information through your agent or on here. So not really needed. 

Thanks very much and good luck with your sponsor.

Update. 

I'm going to be sticking with the Down Under Centre, had a decent phone call with them last night. 

So the option which I'm going to attempt is, once I have my Motorcycle Mechanic Level 3 qualification in my hand. I can get an employer to sponsor me (I have a couple of options) then I can earn my experience in Oz, after the 3rd year of experience I can apply for the skills assessment and then apply for state nomination in SA. 

So with any luck I shall get to Oz one way or another. 

Thank you for all the feedback. 

Hi I’ve had a achy with Wes from DUC today what is your opinion, we are considering going with them my husband is a plumber by trade and will be on 65-75 points

Hi 

We've submitted an EOI for 190 visa (February 2020), plumber 70 + 5, hoping to get invited by NSW.

Wondering if any plumbers have been invited by NSW recently and how many points you had / how long it took to be invited? 

Or if you're in the same boat waiting for NSW plumber invite let's get in touch and keep each other updated on progress! 

Hi we’re looking to make The same application I’ve been chatting with a company called Down under centre and he seem to think we have a good chance of invitation via 190 hopefully yours is the the same good luck and let us know how you get on 

Hi 

I’m really hoping someone can help me out, basically I am a 38 year old gas fitter and have had my own business for 12 years, I’m acs qualified however  do not have my NVQ In Plumbing which I’m hoping to fast track, I’m using a migration agent but she seems to think my ACS won’t count, I’m very confused as gas fitter is in the skills list and I’ve read threads to say other gas engineers only has ACS qualification, any advice would be greatly appreciated by anyone who has or is about to apply under similar circumstances. Migration agent is telling me that I need to be sponsored to obtain a visa ?? Thanks
