kayinperth Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 come here as a working holiday maker(class 462) and try to find 457 (max 4 years I think) sponsor? I know your brother isn't keen to get PR, but if he can apply for an individual skilled visa, it cost a lot but easy to get here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Grey Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Hi Mr T, What are his intentions...Work? Travel? Holiday? Bit of everything? Short term? Long term? What's his occupation? His age? His nationality? Lots of factors, lots of options, lots of things to consider. The more info you give the more someone will be able to help you.

mrtension Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 Hi Guys thanks a lot for your advise can you please advise us whether he can apply 489 and please let me know what else information should i provide thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Grey Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I agree, but there's enough to start narrowing things down. Mr T - I'm going to assume he was assessed by ACS as having a bachelor degree, otherwise it's unlikely his ACS assessment would have resulted in 3 years experience. So if he does have a bachelors degree, going by the above info he currently has 50 points in the skilled migration points test. The minimum benchmark total needed is 60 points as I'm sure you know. As his occupation is on the SOL and you as his brother are an eligible family member living in a designated area of Australia, then the sc489 visa could be a possibility and would grant the extra 10 points required. The issue with the sc489 is that the invitation places are extremely limited (around 15 a month I believe for family sponsored) and it's not a PR visa. It merely allows the holder to remain in Australia for up to 4 years, and after living in a designated area for at least 2 years (and working for a least 12 months of those 2 years) they could be eligible to then apply for PR through the sc887 visa. I understand that he's taken the IELTS and only achieved band 6, but of course it would be preferable if he could score 7 in all bands to gain the needed 10 points that way and apply through sc189/190 instead. The benefit of re-attempting this until the desired score is achieved is something that has to be considered against the likelihood of him obtaining the result, and the fact that he is 32 and will lose 5 points when he turns 33 (it's not clear when this will be from your post). Age should also be considered if you do look at the sc489 visa, because as mentioned above the invitations are limited and can take a long time to be received. Different English language tests will be introduced from November I believe, but whether these will prove easier is unknown. I'm assuming again that he has no partner (for possible partner skill points) and that there's no health/character concerns. As he already holds a positive skills assessment with 3 years experience and has achieved IELTS 6 in all bands, if he were to apply for and receive a job offer in this occupation he could enquire whether they would be willing to nominate through ENS - Direct Entry rather than a 457 visa. ....There's still lots of considerations and options. As WRussell said above, more information is required to give a fully informed assessment. I've had to make a couple of educated assumptions in the above, which if wrong make the whole thing moot! As you can see its difficult to go back and forwards on a forum as questions need to be asked and sensitive details need to be known for a proper assessment, the above will give you a good indication IMO but it's no substitute for a telephone or face-to-face consultation with an RMA which will look at every aspect, and be able to ask those questions in real-time.

Umair Rafiq Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Hello Adam , Can you please let me know that how many points are required to lodge EOI for 190 visa. I have 05 years exp and my skills & cdr are alraedy. MY ILETS score is not 7 on each band. What i need to do ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Grey Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 For a 189/190/489 the benchmark total is 60 points. The higher you score the more likely you will receive a quicker invitation. You can submit an EOI whenever you want, but for these visas you must have a valid skills assessment and competent English at the time of invitation so no point in doing it until then.

Umair Rafiq Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I already have a valid skills assessment (cdr + 5 years overseas experience). But do i need 60 points to apply for EOI? because someone told ne that with 55 points you can fgo for 190(5 points will be given by state) but i am confused.

Adam Grey Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 If a state sponsors you for a 190 visa you get 5 points extra, so yes if you have 55 points without it, this will take you to the 60 point benchmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umair Rafiq Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 So what is your advice? I lodge EOI with 55 or first Give english exam again till i get 7 in each band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umair Rafiq Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Dear Guys, I have a valid skills & work experience assessment of 5 years. So I am standing at 55 points. Can you please tell me that Can I claim 05 points for education of my spouse (She holds a 04 year Bachelors degree in computers and 2 years experience). My plan is to submit EOI with her (if i get her 05 points). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 If your spouse's occupation is on the same list as yours (either both on the SOL or both on the CSOL), and if she gets a positive skills assessment, then you can claim 5 points for her.
