I don't think you can assess for an Actuary. For you to get a positive response from vetassess, you must have between 1 - 3 years experience in the last 3 years as an Actuary.

How many years of experience do you have as an Investment Analyst?

You can claim same 10 points if your partner occupation is on the same list and is assessed with competent English. But if no assessment but your partner possesses competent English alone, you can claim 5 points for that.

So, it is still the same 10 points as single individuals.

This, I always believe applies to 491 only until proven otherwise.

For 189 & 190, I am not that too sure about this single 10points that y'all have been borrowing.

For 189 & 190, I am not that too sure about this single 10points that y'all have been borrowing.

Before now, people claim partner points for all the visa types 189, 190 and 489. So, why will claiming point for being single only be for visa 491? It is a across board. It can't be for only 491 alone. If you can claim partner point for 491, a single person now has the opportunity to do same across all the visa types. They are trying to give equal playing field for everyone. I know that's where your doubt is. Claiming point based on your marital status can't be for just one visa type. Partner points had always been claimed for all the visa types right from time. It is that same opportunity they are about to give single individuals so they won't be left off. And it is across board.

Moreso, my occupation is not available for 489 that is about to be substituted with the 491. Mine is skill level 1. It's only available for 189 and 190. It is even only NSW that's nominating it for now.

The new changes were posted here by a member sometime ago. I think it was gotten from the immigration website. You can read it on their site.

Have you actually taken time to go through the new changes that will take effect from November? You are still very much in doubt I understand.

I once doubted until I went straight to the immigration website to read it up. They just can't put up something like that if they won't implement it. Will they really do that? That's my thought. So you see, that 10 points is not borrowed. It is what immigration put on their website. That's the right source you can confirm it from.

It should be a good news to everyone, so that those whose occupations may not be on the 491, will still have something to fall back on. Definitely, if my occupation appears on 491, I will apply for it as well. Any one that comes quicker will be the one I will go for. But even at that, not all occupations will show in the 491 list.

I will be happy if it works out that way. And i believe that the reason for the delays since July 1st is because they are waiting for November 16.
And that their aim is to push people to the village; that is where the doubts lies.

Because if people are giving more options/ ways of raising points, they'll tend to go towards that way. But if you make the point earning to be equal, they might still want to stick with their 189.

I will go with you until 491 is added to the general calculator.
For the 2 calculators i was able to see; 0ne (1) is for the 189/190/489, while the other is a separate one for 491. Udo!

The 489 is being replaced with 491. You are right. They want to push people to the regional areas. People points will be higher for the 491, and it can make people get invite on time.

With my calculation , if my occupation is available for 491, with the new system, my point for 491 will be 85 points, 75 for 190 and 70 points for 189 with superior English. You can see how high the points is for 491.

One can create different expression of interests for the 3. Any one that gives ITA on time, one will go for that one while withdrawing the rest two. That is if my occupation is available for 491. That's definitely straight ITA.

More so, for the 190, it still depends if your occupation is non prorata. There are occupations that are on high demand that are termed prorata. If an occupation is non prorata, I think one can get ITA with 75 points for 190 with superior English. The person only need to wait patiently.

Good day everyone,
This thread has been very informative, I'm sorry for asking a question that may have been previously answered, but I need clarification on a few things.

- My first degree (Architecture) was from a private university and second degree(Landscape architecture) from Unilag, practising for over 3 years in the same field I studied in(Landscape architecture), does anyone know the likely outcome of my skills assessment?

- What kind of documents does VETASSESS request from you? do they request transcripts for your education assessment?

Thanks.

Hello House... Please I have been trying to figure out where Human Resources Manager falls(Pro rata or Non Pro rata?..Where can I get the information pls.. Thank you..

It should be non prorata and it will be available for 491. It's been available for the former 489.

100%,
transcript is a collection of exam results taken by the student and that is why you can request for it anytime during the school year. even if its just a semester, you can request for transcript

certificate is an award for completion of degree

Also consider the fact that the goal post will also shift by 16/11

The base point will either shift from from 65 or fragmented per visa class which will trigger very high point requirement for ITA as a lot of 189/190 hopefuls will join the 491 queue with the hopes of at all at all na hin bad. or The whole incentive is to drive people to 491 as 189/190 will become harder than it is currently

I was even thinking that they wants to keep 189/190 at 65 point, but does not know how to shift 491's point back to 60 point(which is what it used to be.)

All these same, they are testing the waters and their next move will be to restrict people to the particular region that sponsored them, and remove some regions all together. After they might have seen the velocity of the crowds applying. _{My assumptions tho!}

Hello house, I am trying to relocate to Australia on permanent residence visa , I have 6 years of experience and I have done IELTS and scored LWRS 8877, I am now in the process of submitting application for vetassess assessment ( as my occupation- MICROBIOLOGY is been assessed by vetasses) however I am concerned about the job description, a check on the Australia website shows non-medical for microbiology thereby creating more confusion. Please any Microbiologist in the house who has gotten a positive assessment? can you give me the list of the job description you stated in your reference letters when applying for vetassess assessment.
