nuttersuclan Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Dear all Apologies for reposting this, but I thought it might be useful to have a separate thread in a more populated section of the message board. The points system criteria suggests 5 points can be awarded for your partner's qualifications, as long as you are on the same Occupation List. I, a lecturer, am not on the SOL whereas my wife, a secondary school teacher, is. We are both, however, on the CSOL. Does anyone know if this counts?

Ozmaniac Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 If you will be applying for a 190 or 489 state sponsored visa nominating an occupation on the CSOL and her occupation is also on the CSOL, you should be able to claim Partner Skills points provided she meets the other requirements (age under 50, Competent English and a positive skills assessment from AITSL). If she was the primary applicant applying for a a visa on the basis of having an occupation on the SOL (189 or family sponsored 489), she wouldn't be able to claim Partner Skills points for you because your occupation is not on the SOL.
