if you are short of points you can do one of the following or all..
1. get partner skill assessed, you get extra points if you both get your skill assessed.
2. Appear for IELTS, if you manage overall 8+, you get 25 points
3. Minimum requirement for state sponsored visas is 100 points (or 110, check form the immi site, i am sure its less thn the normal requirement). get state sponsored and apply for the visa.
