coolboys2323 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Hello Good People, I will try to keep it as short as possible as I value your time. - I am from India, 27 years of age. I did my Bachelors (B-Tech) in Electronics & Telecommunication in 2013. - But my skills and work experience (Self Employed) is not related to my B-Tech. - I am successfully running my own web-design company since 2014. My skillset is Webdesign, Web-development, Graphics, Branding & Animation. I learned all this on my own so I do not have any certifications/short courses as well. - I am working with many clients & companies based in Australia. They are ready to help with anything if required for my PR application. I also have visited Australia twice, I got my visitor visa approved the last December. - I am looking to apply for a subclass 189 Visa to get PR. Following is the list of occupations that are related to my skillset and not my study (B-Tech). 261211: Multimedia Specialist 261212: Web Developer 261312: Developer Programmer 261313: Software Engineer 232414: Web Designer 232411: Graphic Designer - I will be able to get 30 points for Age, 20 points for English. 1- The query is will I be able to get 15 points for my Bachelor degree as it's not related to the occupation I am applying visa for. Also what about points for my work experience as I am self-employed (running my own company since 2014) 2- For Multimedia Specialist, the Occupation Ceiling Value is 1000 but invitations issued are 0, What does this mean? So should I not consider applying under this occupation? 3- I just wanted to know what will be my best bet to apply for PR. I do not mind if my application takes time, I am in no rush and can wait for 1-2 years or more for PR. Looking forward to your help guys.

mt9754 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Please note specifically for 189 visa, your occupation must be on the Medium/Long term list (in section 8 here https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2019L00278), which means some of the occupations listed are not currently relevant for 189 (eg Web Developer). You should be able to get points for your degree providing it's from an institution that Australia recognise. However, the skills assessment from ACS is tough and it's easier if you've got a relevant degree. Have a read but I think it's possible to get a positive skills assessment result without a relevant degree if you have 6+ years of relevant experience. https://www.acs.org.au/content/dam/acs/acs-skills/Skills Assessment Guidelines for Applicants V5-6 Aug 2018.pdf Regarding Multimedia Specialist, the official descriptions from ACS are here: https://www.acs.org.au/content/dam/acs/acs-skills/ANZSCO_Code_Information.pdf . I expect it's just a specialist field and so they don't get many applicants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I would strongly recommend you speak to a registered migration agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausvisitor Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I know you are expecting 20 points for English, but many native English speakers fail to get this designation, so I would suggest you take the test and see if you do in fact have the required English ability - many assume they do until they try the test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
