Hi everyone,
My partner are planning to move to Sydney asap (on 457 visa which will be lodged this week). We are now looking at our PR options as we are in it for the long run. Looking at the immigration website, we reckon that a 175 visa would be a good option for us. According to the points system, we should be able to get 125 points IF I score a 7 on all 4 IELTS areas.
Our questions:
- can anyone give us an indication of the level of English that we need to master to obtain a 7 score on all 4 areas?
- does 125 points mean a garanteed PR?
- we could also wait 1 year and gain 10 more points on working experience and go for a score of 6 with IELTS; what would you recommend?
Look forward to hearing your opinions, thanks!
