Congratulations

Saynoomore:


Sorry please, I'm new to this, and trying to read them up. I have just completed IELTS, and packaging my document for VETASSESS. From what I've read online, I think cut off points for 491 are less than 189 (https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skillselect/invitation-rounds).

My Questions are:

1. How can one get ITA from the various Regions (i.e. Western Australia and New South Wales) Is there a box to check and indicate interest on the States/Region when applying for EOI on 491?

2. I have observed that there are various subclasses (i.e 491, 189, 190, etc). Are applicants allowed to submit an Expression of Interest to more than one Subclass? e.g can I submit for EOI to 491 and also submit to 189, and 190 at the same time, just to broaden my chances?

Please I want to ask a question concerning my application and that of my wife. I’ve applied for 489 since 2019 without getting a reply since then. My fiancé was in Australia since 2018 and only came back two months ago and we married. However, there was an instruction not to get married while I was applying for my 489 visa but I can’t keep waiting as time has been wasted already and we can’t continue waiting. An organization has agreed to sponsor my wife’s 482 visa so I want to ask if she can add me to the visa application as partner even though I didn’t mention her name while o was applying mine. Will it work? Or will it have any negative effect on my already existing application?? Will DHA get mad at me for marrying while I’m told not to? Please help

You have no problem then if your 5yrs work experience is verifiable.

Just take your PTE test and aim superior English scores. Are you single or married? Go for 491 to boost your points.

Western Australia and New South Wales only require 3yrs experience to apply for their 491.

Use this to calculate your points: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/tools/points-calculator

Carefully answer all the questions to get your projected point scores.

I don't think chemical engineer is open for offshore applicants. WA Austraila too is not open for offshore only for WA graduate I think. But he can submit unsolicited EOIs in these states and hope for the best

I may not be able to tell you want you want to hear. You knew the rule of what you applied for but you went against it. Even though your applications has not yet been approved, it still does not change the legislation and sadly, the COs work with legislations and not how we feel.. Anyways life will continue if the CO decides to follow the rules about your application.

482 is a work visa, you may have to confirm if that has a pathway to PR (what I read is that 482 applicant that have been on the visa for over 12 months or during the pandemic will be able to apply for PR) but I'm not sure if it applies to anyone applying now.
That may be a good option for you as your 489 is shaky as it is.

The other option is both of your strive for your visa, get it separately and run your stuff separately. Although there may still be a snag when you may apply for 887.

Goodluck bro

sorry please, can I get something clear! Are you guys saying that married people are not eligible for some visa subclasses?

tunlex01:


No, it means you cannot get married until after landing.

In the new point system introduced in November 2019, single applicants gets an automatic 10 points added to their points while married people need to have partner that will make them get the 10 points through assessment and English test.
So what DHA is saying is if you claim you are single, when you get ITA, you cannot get married to add a spouse until after you have landed in Australia.

Saynoomore:


Perfect, fair enough!

Please, one last question.
I have done my IELTS, and currently packaging my application for VETASSESS. My concern is this:

Is it compulsory that you MUST claim points from your spouse? What if my spouse's IELTS is LWRS - 5.5,6,6,7?

My point is currently 75 without Spouse points. Can I be selected without including my spouse english Language test result? My spouse currently struggles with getting 5 in listening. If she writes and doesn't get 6,6,6,6, I think I might be too impatient to wait for a re-write. I intend to continue to EOI without bothering to gain spouse points. The last draw I saw, I noticed someone in my line of profession got ITA with 70points. I think I might just be fortunate too, to get with above 70points.

Hi team been reading the thread and I need some information I am a graduate of electrical engineering 2014 but with very little work experience do you advice I go ahead with my assessment on Australia engineers.

Good day guys, please I need your help to some questions. Does The Australian embassy in Nigeria issue visa to Nigerians or do Nigerians need to travel to Kenya to apply for the visa?

Secondly, my widowed sister whom was married to an Australian wants move to Australia as she has a son whom we have successfully procured his Australian passport, now she wants to take the kid to Australia, so please I’ll like to know where to proceed. By the way we don’t live in Nigeria so that’s why am asking if the embassy does issue visa from Nigeria. Thank you for your response.
