ABG Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 In order to claim the partner points, both occupations need to be on the same skills list (i.e. either both on the short-term skills list, or both on the medium/long term list). Both applicants would need to have their skills assessed by the relevant skills assessment authority for their particular occupation, and the partner would also need to demonstrate they can speak English at Competent level. If you can't meet any of these requirements then I don't think there are any other options. If you're struggling to meet the points threshold then it may be worthwhile consulting with a migration agent who can help come up with some alternate strategies. https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/189-?modal=/visas/supporting/Pages/skilled/Partner-skills.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
