(25 Points) ------------------------------------------ English language ability (10 points) Assuming I get 7 overall. ----------------------------------------- Skilled employment within Australia* I dont have any work experience in Australia so (0 points) ------------------------------------------------- I have over 8 years overseas experience so should I get the 20 points or 15 points ? Skilled employment overseas* (Maximum 15 points) I have worked in my nominated occupation or a closely related occupation for at least 3 years (10 points)I have worked in my nominated occupation or a closely related occupation for at least 5 years (15 points)I have worked in my nominated occupation or a closely related occupation for at least 8 years (20 points) --------------------------------------------------- Would I get the 10 points for below quaestion if I was to complete the AQF111 Cert?Qualifications* (Maximum 2 points) I hold an Australian Diploma or trade qualification (10 points)I hold an award or qualification recognised by the assessing authority in assessment of my nominated skilled occupation (10 points)I hold at least an Undergraduate Degree (15 points)I hold a Doctorate Degree (20 points)None of above (0 points) ------------------------------------------- Could I claim 5 points for my wife as she is a Solicitor in the UK? (aged 35) Application with your spouse* (Maximum 5 points) Can you claim 5 points on joint application with your spouse?* -------------------------------------------- I hope someone can help as I get more confused everytime I read it. If I dont get enough points it will have to be employer sponsership but im not hopfull that way as most people in the trade seem to be self-employed. Thanks for anyone who has read this.

Caz Brady Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 If you don't have any trade papers you will have to get them, you then have to get recognised by TRA and they're dicking about a bit at the mo not sure what the story is with them at the moment. You as far as I'm aware should get 15 points for work experience. You can claim for wifes occupation, but if she is fully qualified with work experience then it might be easier to get over with her as the main applicant, you might still need to get trade papers if you want to claim for your work but you wouldn't need to get recognised by TRA for the visa Hope this helps it's all a bit head wrecking, but people on here are usually very helpful I'm sure there'll be a few more posts soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebourvellec Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 FOr cliaming partner points - both occupations need to be on the same SOL, also she will need to get skills assessed. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/_pdf/sol-schedule1-2.pdf maximum points for overseas employment is 15 points, you can only get the maximum 20 if you have worked in australia also. Age - 25 English - 10 Work Exp - 15 Trade - 10 If you managed to get State SPonsorship if your occupation is on SMP - 5 points, you would have the 65 required. I would get advice from a migration agent, to assess you and your OH case better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will do a check on how many points my wife would get for Solicitor and then start hunting for an expert to approach.. Does anyone recommend any?
