dreamer78 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Hi All, I applied with 60pts back in dec for a 189 visa, but as it is pro rata occupation i need more points so am doing a RPL diploma. I have just today applied for a family 489 visa with 70pts, and i was wondering if anyone can shed any light in timescales etc. many thanks Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD3006 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 can I ask the "pro rata" term and what it means.. Im applying for 489 regional family sponsor for Tasmania skill - film and video editor 212314 thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Your occupation is not eligible for that visa. Your occupation is only on the short term list and it is a requirement that family sponsored stream 489's have an occupation on the medium and long term list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD3006 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 so how was my EOI for the 489 regional family sponsored Tasmania accepted to go through to selection with that skill set ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the department will very happily take your money. The 489 state sponsored allows occupations to be on the short term list, but the family sponsored stream doesn't. The department website on 489's is crap, but have a look at this. http://truebluemigration.com/visa-types/general-skilled-migration/skilled-nominated-or-sponsored-visa-489/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
