CaptainC Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 I can't offer any predictions for 190 as mentioned in the first post in this thread. With 60 points you cannot currently be invited as the threshold is 65. Based on the current trend, I can't see that it will drop to 60 again during this programme year (the 2016/17 year starts on 1st July) Of course, things can change but it isn't looking likely.

You were spot on. Thanks! You're welcome! Congrats, and best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainC Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 Yeah, I was thinking the same.. Let's see anyways Thank you! I see that your IELTS is band 7. Try increasing that and you'll get the extra 10 points and therefore a quick invitation. You can also try PTE (Pearson Testing of English). Many have said that they have much more luck with that. Otherwise 190 may be your best bet. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khamutari Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 You can live ANYWHERE!! To fulfil the moral obligation you would live in Victoria. Melbourne is in Victoria. There's no legal obligation to live in any particular area with state sponsorship, only moral. Thank you, thats good to know I'll try to file for SS asap then since the 65pt threshold doesn't look like its gonna go down soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Captain C, Please predict 1. ANZSCO code: 261313 2. Occupation:Software Engineer 3. Points score:60 4. Date of submission of the EOI:09/jun/2015 Currently there's no possibility of a prediction on these occupations due to your points score being below the minimum of 65. I would suggest investigating the possibility of increasing your points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthumbrianDavid Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 CaptainC - have you got a link to the bit about the minimum points score being 65 for Software Developers? Can't find it on Border and I think I'm going to struggle to get more points! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgreaves Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 CaptainC - have you got a link to the bit about the minimum points score being 65 for Software Developers? Can't find it on Border and I think I'm going to struggle to get more points! Scroll to the bottom of this link: https://www.border.gov.au/WorkinginAustralia/Pages/SkillSelect-23-October-2015-Round-Results.aspx The last 2613 acceptance was 65 points on 22nd October, once the backlog of 65 pointers clears (I assume this is soon) then the last 60 pointer I can see was Marhc 23rd, therefore there is all the people between 23rd of March and your EOI date who will get an invite before you.

Maybe you could try going down that route and use her as the primary applicant, or if you haven't factored in already that with a skills assessment for her qualifications you could gain an extra 5 points for spouse qualification.

Maybe you could try going down that route and use her as the primary applicant, or if you haven't factored in already that with a skills assessment for her qualifications you could gain an extra 5 points for spouse qualification. To add to this you are in a similar situation to me David (albeit I am an accountant), my parnter is a nurse so she is my backup plan but hopefully I will get an invite in the next 6 weeks. If your wife intends to work over in Australia she will need to register with AHPRA before starting work (regardless of visa), however the majority of the paperwork for ANMAC who do the nurse skills assessment is the same as AHPRA. Once you have her skills assessment it will either give you an extra 5 points, or you can apply with her as the main applicant as CaptainC has suggested. I imagine once the first November details are released in the next couple weeks you may get slightly more of an idea as to when to expect an invite, but I am just assuming it will show something useful here!

NorthumbrianDavid Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Thanks CaptainC and all who have replied for the link and advice - unfortunately my wife is a diploma nurse and can't get skills assessment from ANMAC or registration from AHRPA, so I can't get the 189 in her name or even get the 5 extra points for partner skills. Frustrating! I've started another thread on which degree I require to get the extra points for education - so it looks like I'm going back to Uni to top up to a degree before I lose points for age and my IELTS expires...
