Sood Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I just gave my ielts exam and expecting to score 7band I tried calculating the points on the calculator and the total score is coming out to be 75. Is this a decent score to apply and might get an invitation. Please suggest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srg73 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 You need to align your skills/qualifications, experience and demand for your profession in Australia. Obviously age etc come into play. Best of luck with your application however prepare for a few ups and downs on the way. What would help is to post how you reached your 75 points. Requirements have been as low as 60 previously however I needed 85 points to get noticed a number of years ago! S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sood Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 I am B.tech graduate and currently 30yrs old and have 8years of Work experience. My husband is MBA and can sum up in 5pts as well. Let me know if more information is required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 who will be the main applicant and do they meet the requirements for the skill assessment? It will depend on the occupation and visa you apply for to determine points required above the minimum to get an invite. so if you post the occupation visa and how you calculate the points people can clarify your position.

VERYSTORMY Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 a B tech isn't going to get you points and you can only claim points for your husband if his occupation is on the same list as yours and he passes a skills assessment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeltInCaulfield Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 VeryStormy, I think in other parts of the world, they use that designation for some degrees. Not sure. Would concur if it's a British BTec though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeltInCaulfield Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 As has been asked already: which occupation is this based on? Do not presume validity for qualifications or experience unless a responsible body gas provided an assessment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sood Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 thanks Celtincaulfield!! I literally needed this guidance since i was assuming everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 What are your occupations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stayorgo Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Your partner needs to have an occupation on the skills list and be assessed by the relevant skills assessing authority to be able for you to claim the partner 5 points. Your partner holding a degree doesn’t automatically qualify you to be able to claim partner points. Im having to do ielts so that I can then get my skills assessed for my partner to claim 5 points for my skills on his EOI. (The skills assessing authority for my occupation required ielts or similar as well as evidence of qualification) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
