Hi. I am also a ls. Ubktech listed all the steps needed in the past. You can read back or check his profile. There is no extra point to be gain if you have a relative, that is if you are interested in 190 or 189.

Oknee,

I've gone through all of UBKtech's post and I didn't get the listed steps you mentioned and I don't seem to get how to view his profile. Would appreciate if you could help copy from the page and paste here since you've seen it earlier.

Please does she have to take the AIMS exams after submitting her application and AIMS assessment?

Thanks

Hi,

Good to be a part of this Forum.

My wife is intending to migrate to Australia through the Skill Select Scheme. She is a Laboratory Scientist and just starting the process. She has this perception that she would only get high chances if she has a relative living in Australia.

Please can you advice in this regard on step by step process and also her chances of being eligible as she doesn't have any relative in Australia.

Thanks
