Jess557 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Hi just wondering if anyone could advise how much time is needed to apply for a 189 skilled migration visa as a Chef. We have about 8 months until my partners second year working visa expires (expires in June) so wondering if we have left it too late to get the skills assessment and English language test etc done to find out how many points and then do an expression of interest and hopefully get invited before June. Is that realistic? We are thinking f doing that or a partner visa but worried if we do the skilled visa which is much cheaper and a better option that may run out of time and not get an invitation in the time frame we need and will then have no time to do a partner application etc after that. we think he will have around 70-75 points if that helps at all. Any idea of our chances of getting invited? Any advice or comments about your own process and time involved welcomed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karstedt Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 75 points will probably get you in the round after you apply. 70 might be a couple months unless they cut migration like the PM is talking about, in which case it may not happen anytime soon. However, the 189 program has a stupid selection process. If you apply for state nomination (190), you will most likely get an invite at their next selection. Many states are taking Chefs like they are the cure for cancer... 60 pts will get you an invite to NSW asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
