Any registered migration agent should be able to advise you further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saints man Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I have (supervised licence / training permitt as well for my 176 visa ) may i ask what you are asking, as if you have a supervised licence you must have been issued a visa of some kind or was the OH the main applicant.

Ozmaniac Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 The only difference between state sponsored and independent (i.e. no sponsorship) visas is that you get 5 or 10 points for the state sponsorship. If you can possibly get the 60 points required for an independent 189 visa, that's the one you should go for and forget about state sponsorship, at least until you're certain you can't get to 60 points without it. Also, Queensland is only willing to sponsor electricians if they have experience in heavy industrial and rail signalling. You should have a try at an English test and see how you go - you might be surprised. You'll probably find PTE Academic better than IELTS. http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/231707-ielts-v-s-pearson-test-english-academic-pte-academic-my-personal-findings.html#post1936733023 IELTS v.s Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE Academic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
