Sol2Oz Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I have been working at the same job for years now - doing the exact same thing, but my assessing agency said that I am "qualified as of year X" - (the day I got my degree). My problem is that I don't know if DIAC will look at it the same way or not. If DIAC agrees with my assessor, and they only count my experience from since I had my degree, then I'll have to wait until this coming May to get the full points (to complete the year) OR.... I can go for State sponsorship ....what would you guys do? :idea: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chardy Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 State sponsorship as that gives you an extra 5 points which I assume you will need if you are short of work experience points. Plus it's a quicker visa than the 175 :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOL Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I know that for our visum they specifically asked for POST-QUALIFICATION work experience. So your agency -could- absolutely be right. I'm not sure in which cases they also accept pre-qualification work experience. Not sure if the info helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bj27 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 well, 175 gives you more freedom to live where you want to live but 176 is faster and apparently you need the points if you would like to live in a state that would sponsor you, there is nothing wrong with SS.

littlegreenman Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 If you want to move soon and are happy to live in a specific state then 176. If you are happy to wait a while and are in no rush then 175. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
