Raz434 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Hi all, looking for any advise / knowledge around this. Continuously paying different amounts of money to different people and hearing differing opinions, its all rather confusing. I have an honors degree (4 years) graduated 2013. Psychology. have worked in the field in my field 2.8 years. on a 457 visa, have a sponsor to do 186 but have not been with them 2 years. my degree is deemed not relevant to my occupation. Residential Care Officer. Positive skill assessment thus came out as 0.8 The assessment is used to help points based visa. Is 186 a points based visa? Does my degree need to be 'relevant' for my sponsored job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 A 186 is not points based. However, if you want to do a 186 before two years with your employer you will need a positive skills assessment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It states 2 years at work experience that meets required criteria And then 0.8months work experience relevant. So I am unsure if I then will (in feb) meet the 3 years work experience 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raz434 Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Bachelor of Science (Honours) is assessed as comparable to the educational level of an AQF Bachelor degree and is therefore at the required level. Field of study is not highly relevant The employment meets the minimum requirements for this occupation. Skill assessment: Positive Based on the evidence provided, the qualification/s and employment described above meet the requirements of your nominated occupation and are assessed as suitable for migration purposes. And then it says Points Test Advice is 0.8. But if I am not going for a points visa then I am okay? *headsdesk* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
