Hi Ausvisitor,
Thanks for your reply.
About how to get higher points... I guess my only chance is/was to improve my English score. I am so annoyed with my PTE score as I got L82, R78, S80, W78... A 79 on each band would have given me 10 more points...if only the average was considered. I did it end of January and had to go to Italy as there is no center in my country. I was preparing to sit the test once more but.... COVID19 disturbed the entire world. Borders are closed. There is no way I can do that in the next couples of weeks/months.
Then I enquired about the language accreditation... but gosh, you need to pass pre-requirements tests before sitting the test, meaning you need some work to prepare and again, sitting the test won't be possible. And that is to improve by 5 points... Don't get me wrong, I have done everything possible to prepare my application and maximize my chance. The process was exshausting. So many letters from a lot of employers, official translation, certification by a lawyer, 3 English tests, hired an agent to ensure I wasnt doing any mistake.
I keep my fingers crossed for a reopening of the borders (which would mean that the bastard is disappearing). But I am thinking, if I improve once more my English, let say in July/August, again, my EOI would need to be updated. And my EOI date would be August 2020... knowing in December I will lose 10 points. It means I would have 3 months with a max points possible and I am wondering what are my chances to be invited during this very short 3 months timelines.
