What to do with job offer

[Dorsetbrit]

I had a great Skype meeting with a landscape gardener in Brisbane that could lead to a job offer. I’m self employed sole trader and have been since 2001. Just wondered what the process would be if I got an offer and how long that might take.

Also my wife is about to get her skill accessed for an accountant and will have 75 points we think. So really not sure what we should do or can we keep applying for both. I feel sponsored visa is a big risk such as hoping you like that job etc and can we keep applying once over there for a 189 if that’s the one we go for?

 

Bit of a mine field I feel.

 

Cheers.

As far as i;m aware ,,If your wife is applying you can 'piggy back ' on her application ,you don't need a separate one for yourself.

Yes I know we can go as a family just wanted to know which one is best and quickest to get there, keep applying on the wife’s 189 application or me to accept a job offer and be sponsored?

Best doesnt necessarily equate to quickest.  Best would be something permanent - there are all sorts of minefields in the way of someone on a temporary visa that just aren't worth the risk if you can get something permanent.

from my understanding they have stopped inviting accountants for this cycle. this site has an estimate of when you might get an invite. they tend to be fairly close with their estimates.

Thank you, accountants have come back on but at 80 points but it was of for ages before that. Hopefully when the new rounds start they’ll accept 75 points.
