Family R

We are very serious and I’ve already been in contact with Paul. I’ll be able to afford the consultation in January so will book it then. Fingers crossed it’s something that’s a viable path in his opinion. Thanks all for the input.

Thank you all i made an incorrect assumption that it would be a remote area. Sunshine Coast is where we want to go ideally. Paul - I’ll get in touch in the new year to book that consultation and see if there is a path. thanks all again

Thank you. We’d only go on a 190 as we don’t want to go regional. It’s either that visa or nothing I think.

Thank you both. I really appreciate your time and honesty. i was trying to get a revised overview before spending money on a consultancy session. lots to mull over.

Isn’t it just . Thank you again. worked out it would be a very small window in which to apply - literally about 4 to 8 weeks As long as she applies before she’s 45 does that still mean she’ll get the ‘age points’ even if she turned 45 whilst the visa application was being processed?

Thank you. If she is fully qualified as a teacher from April does that mean her experience won’t count even though she’ll be working as a full time primary teacher?

Thank you all for the advice so far. Following on from that we went and did some more research and came up with an alternative path we think. It would be for a skilled nominated subclass 190 visa. If my wife took a masters degree then that would give her the 4 years study at degree level criteria. She could undertake that whilst working as a teacher and so then meet the 3 year work experience criteria. She would be 44 by the time she had done the above. Just sanity checking that she would have the 65 points required and that also this is a consistent visa and not likely to be subject to change? (we know there are no guarantees). Just thought we would ask in here first before paying for a migration consultants initial consultation. Thanks in advance.

Sorry to ask another question but I just want to make sure we don’t miss any potential opportunity. Would a 2 year HND in media design be counted as higher education level study (and towards the 4 year requirement)? This was undertaken in approx 2004.

Thanks everyone for the information / advice. Not what we wanted to hear but at least we know. I’ll get in touch with one of the companies like you mentioned to see if there’s a way.

Thanks for the reply. Is that an Australian criteria as it’s a full primary degree course but it’s 3 years not 4? There is no 4 year option and she’ll qualify with fully qualified teacher status as it’s a full teacher degree not an add on to an existing degree.

Hi All, Apologies for the vague question. What visa would my wife apply for with the below criteria? I’m struggling to work it out from the points calculators available online and whether she’d need some form of sponsorship. She is 40 years old Finishes her 3 year Primary Education degree with qualified teacher status next year. Does placement count as experience when calculating points? I’m 45 years old We have 3 children Looking to move to Queensland. any advice would be hugely appreciated
