Guest Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Pretty much non existent to slim I'd have thought. I'm not even sure that she could sponsor you as her uncle and family tbh. https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/lega/lega/form/immi-faqs/how-can-i-bring-family-members-to-australia-to-live Do you or your wife hold a skill on the skills list at all?

The only way you can emigrate is if you qualify in your own right. That means you need to have an occupation that's on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it makes no difference. One of you must still have an occupation that's on the list. Is your wife a qualified Pharmacist? I don't know if that's on the list, worth checking.

VERYSTORMY Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 A family sponsored visa would not be possible as for you, you are too old and for your wife the occupation must be on the long term list. Note, the SOL no longer exists. However, as you have spotted, pharmacy technician, is on the short term list. Which may give rise to options. That is if she can pass the skills assessment and has enough points. I would recommend you speak to a good agent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that way you’ll know where you stand with it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I agree with Snifter. Rather than asking each question individually and getting more and more confused, book a consultation with an agent like Go Matilda. They will look at your qualifications and tell you whether you stand a chance or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
