BlueSkies Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Hello, I was hoping to ask a question if I may please. I am a Chartered Accountant and my wife is a Special Education Teacher. We are applying for the 189 visa under her occupation. She has 60 points without me doing a skills assessment and would get an additional 5 if I did do one. Given not a lot of invitations go out regarding her occupation do you think she might have sufficient points without me doing a skills assessment ? Thank you, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD_MOA Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Hello Dan, DIBP are not currently inviting applicants for SC189 visas with 60 points. This is not occupation specific. You can check this here. Unless you are prepared to seek state sponsorship you will need the 5 extra points. I hope this helps!

BlueSkies Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 Very helpful thank you. Probably still better to apply under her occupation given high demand for 189 under Accountant ? We will have the same number of points. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkies Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 Forgive my ignorance but when you say State Sponsorship is the points requirements lower ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
