Dear all,

On the immigration website I have read "a suitable skills assessment in a nominated occupation on the same Skilled Occupation List used for your application". What does that means please?


Cheers,

in order to claim 5 points for partner skills, you will need nominate her occupation from the same Skilled occupation list that you used for your nomination & assess your partner qualification from a relevant assessing authority.

 

Is that, we need to apply to assess her skills with ACS and get it ready before we submit the EOI or can we submit the EOI now and the partner skills to be assessed before invitation.

 

Partner Skill point

HI ALL,
Can anybody suggest about partner Skills' 5 points specifically for nurse as dependent(secondary)applicant.

Say for instance if my partner is in overseas(not in Australia) working as nurse. To gain 5 points from her (Primary applicant is myself) :

1. How much ielts score she requires?
2. I know she has to do skill assessment. But does it require ielts score of 7 each band? I know to register as nurse in AU requires 7 each band. So does it apply to skill assessment as well?
3. Does she require work experience such as minimum of 1 year or?

Any valuable thoughts will be much appreciated.
Thanks

 

Hi rabindra,

per DIAC requirements she must demonstrate competent English, for example by getting 6+ in all bands of the IELTS test. She also needs a positive skills assessment (for an occupation on the same skills list as you) and must fulfill the age (<50) requirement. There is not requirement that she must have any work experience from DIAC's side. You can find all the information on the SkillSelect 189 - Points page under "Other Factors - Partner Skills".

But in addition, you'll have to go through the criteria of her skills assessing authority to find out if they require a higher score for positive assessment. According to the ANMAC FAQ, section on "Do I need to do an English language test as part of my migration skills assessment?" she'll need to pass an Academic IELTS test with a score of 7+ OR the Occupational English Test (OET) for nurses with a B pass or higher in all sections. There are different application options (Student, enrolled nurse, registered nurse, midwife) - check their requirements regarding work experience.

Good luck,
Monika

 

Thanks Monica. It looks like she needs to score 7 band in ielts (academic) test for skill assessment purpose only, registering as nurse is another process.

 

Dear expats,

i was wondering how we can claim partner skill 5 points for migration to oz.. here below my questions please reply if you guys know the answers

1 . Do i Need to do the skill assessment for the partner and what should be the ielts score?

2. when i required the skill assessment / ielts results of partner ?is it when i submitting EOI or when i applying visa?

3 what are basic requirement for the Partner Skills points to be claimed

thanks guys this forum is a treasure for me! :fingerscrossed:

 

Yes you partner should have the skill assessment, IELTS score of minimum 6.0 in each(R, W, S, L)

You must provide evidence that your partner meets the requirements. This evidence must be:
1. documents that prove your partner is 50 years of age or younger
2. documents that prove your partner has at least competent English
3. a positive skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority for your partner’s nominated occupation (your partner’s nominated occupation must be on the same Skilled Occupation List as your nominated occupation).

All of this should be done before submitting EOI.

Hope this helps you.

a few questions:
- i plan to claim partner points for my wife.
- she has IELTS 7 and above in all bands
- she has a suitable result from ACS as an ICT Business Analyst.

my question is: the occupation ceiling for ICT business analyst has already been reached. so, can we still claim 5 points for partner skills?

thanks

 

Guys

My query can i claim for 5 points as partner points if i process RLP for my wife also i bit confused because 2632 is not listed in SOL . please suggest .

 

Hi Monika
Considering your an RN, pls forgive if I am wrong. Hoping you could help on below
I am a RN from India, registered in Australia and applied for Modified Assessment for 189 with ANMAC.
Had a query regarding Professional references once invited for 189.

Once Invited do you need to upload your reference again for CO to review or just the LOD from ANMAC should suffice??
As far as my understanding Skill assessment LOD will have my experience assessed has I have already submitted the required format while applying to ANMAC for gaining extra points for migration.
My problem is I have some how managed to get references from concerned managers as I have worked in 4 different hospitals back in India over the period of 4 years and and few of them seems to be too busy to right down a reference. I hope I wouldnt need the reference again for the purpose of CO reviews. Your reply will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.\
Regards
Blessy

 

Hi Blessy,

you should upload scans of all the documents that you submitted to ANMAC in the eVisa system. Why? The case officer usually follows the opinion of the assessing authorities but they perform their own work experience assessment. Don't you have scans of the documents? If not, you'll have to get them again. The CO will definitely want to see reference letters for all work periods for which you claim points. In addition, you need to submit evidence of your salary (e.g. pay slips, bank statements or tax return documents).

Anmac pr



Hi

Thank you for your prompt reply.
I do have photos copies of submitted Professional Reference to ANMAC but in Black and White and have got them attested as True Copy from Advocate.
Apart from that I do have Experience Letters in original from all the hospitals which you normally get when you resign from an organisation, but they are not as per prescribed ANMAC PR format.
Will they do.
Or do I again need to get the reference.
Also I think I will manage to get the Payslip/Bank statement from the concerned banks.
Await your reply.
Thanks
Blessy.

 

Hi Blessy,

in that case, I'd submit the same (black-and-white) reference letters that you submitted to ANMAC.

 

Thats Great, such a relief
Thanks a lot.
Blessy.:clap2:

 

Hi,
I have got positive skill assessment for both me and my wife.
During assessment they counted less than 4 years for me and my wife (Both for Job code of Software Engineer). We both have around 7+ experience.
To claim atleast 15 points, we need 5+ experience in assessment. I am planning to review the assessment, and it costs $395. I will do it for either me or my wife.

Now to claim 5 points for partner skill, how many minimum years of experience are needed , or just a basic assessment is fine?

Thanks,
N

 

Could any one please advise on following:

We are planning to apply for 189

Was your application successful? Were ACS outcome and IELTS enogh? Did you need any additional documents?

Hi,

need help. i have 55 points (no points from ielts), i have done my husband's ACS and ielts. i tried applying EOI with partner points, however my total point score in the last submit page was showing only 55 points.
why wasn't my husband points getting added or when would that get added.
can i still go ahead and submit EOI with 55 + 5 (assuming would be considered while giving me invite)

please advise.

 

There is a section in EOI which asks if you would like to claim partner points. Select yes and it will ask for your partner's skills assessment and IELTS score details.

Once you do this your partner points will be calculated and the correct points figure will appear at the end of your application.

 

Hi all,
I’m planning to include myself as a co applicant with my husband to claim 5 points. I got Masters degree in Computer Science Engineering a year ago, but hasn’t had any work experience yet. Wondering can my skills be positively assessed for one of the relevant ANZSCO codes without any experience?

Thanks!

 

My partner, he assessed his job assessment 3 years before so now it expire 2 years validity. If I apply now, can I get 5 points in Partner skill qualifications without doing reassessment?

 

Hi,
I claimed 5 partner skill points. His occupation is ICT business analyst, of which the ceiling has been reached. Does the occupation ceiling apply for secondary applicants? Thank you.

No. Neither the ceiling nor (in case of a CSOL occupation) partners occupation sponsorship being open/ closed applies. The only requirements from partner are: age, certified as skilled in an occupation on the same list (irrespective of ceiling/ sponsorship), and English (6+ in all components).

 

Dears,

Please reply me on my below issues:

1. My Spouse is ICT professional , Do i need her IELTS score prior to assessment procedure?
as i was wondering that Australia computer Society are not requiring IELTs score but i guess she needs Competent (IELTS 6.0 in each band later on while submitting my EOI as prime applicant)?

2.I ended my Bachelor Engineering degree on July2007 so by 1St july 2015 i will have 8 year of work experience in my relevant skills and its under SOL as welll so do Engineers Aust. recognize my 8 YEAR experience ( as i got confused my you line 8 year of relevant work in last 10 years of work? as i have been associated purely in my relevant Job right after my degree completion for last 8 years which will be completed by this July (1-july-2015)


Please help me out. Thanks a lot for your co-operation!

 

1. It seems you are planning to claim 5 partner points. In that case, apart from her assessment, you will need her to score 6+ in each IELTS band. But, not yet. You can go ahead with her assessment and then start to work on IELTS. IELTS is not a requirement for ACS assessment.

2. From what I know, EA does not deduct any experience (like ACS does). So, if your full time employment was from July-2007, you should be able to claim points for 8 years in Aug-2015. You just enter your employment periods in the EOI system and it will calculate the points accordingly. What they mean by 8 in last 10 is that your 8 years of work experience should be from work performed in the last 10 years (i.e. after July-2005 onwards), which indeed is the case with you.

 

thanks a lot for you kind reply!

Please one last thing :

EOI should be then logged by me on June30th,2015 in order to get my 8 years exp. points countable from EA? as i started my work from June30th but 1st July2007 i got my Course completion from University

Thanks ,,,,

 

As long as you are eligible to submit an EOI (i.e. have minimum 60 points), you should do it at the first opportunity and not wait. When the time comes, provided that you have given the right information in the EOI (for instance, left the To-Date field blank for your current ongoing employment), the day when you reach 8 years of experience, EOI system will automatically bump up your points and place you right in front of the queue/ waiting list.
