Sasjowatson Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Hi guys, husband has recently done the IELTS test and scored 8.5 and I'm now wondering if we HAVE to have the VETASSESS his skills/qualifications. He is 32 - 30points ielts 8.5 - 20points in his current employment 12 years - 15points so he gets 65 points without having the trade assessed but does he need this before submitting EOI and to go through on the skilled independent visa?

Adam Grey Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 A skills assessment is mandatory and should be completed before submitting an EOI. Also double check the IELTS score. The lowest band score (rounded down) will determine what points are received, not the overall score. All the best, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasjowatson Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 Thank you, I thought as much but just read something on here that made me just want to double check. Makes sense really just don't want to have to pay out £2.5k if it wasn't needed. His lowest ielts was 8 and highest was 9 so think he should get the full 20points. Thank you I appreciate the speedy response x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
