Hi, everyone! Currently looking into the skilled and regional visas for AU. However, I'm quite confused regarding the skills assessment portion, and I'm not sure if I have high chances to get a positive assessment, and if I pass the 65 points requirement in general.
Some details:
Age: At least 25 but less than 33 years
Partner skills: Single
Occupation: Graphic Designer
For the VETASSESS skills assessment, this is the requirements for a positive assessment:
For the AQF degree, I graduated from a Liberal Arts and Commerce double major program (AB Communication and BS Marketing) from a Section 1 school. Does this guarantee it'll be recognized as an AQF Bachelor's degree? It is not a highly relevant major as well (I think).
And considering that, I only have 3 years of relevant work experience.
If my education degree does get counted as an AQF Bachelor's degree (but not highly relevent), then according to the table, it should still be possible to get a positive skills assessment with 3 years minimum of highly relevant work, but I don't know how this will affect my overall points. Will the 3 years get deducted and count my work experience as zero?
If so, how are my chances under the points system (while assuming I get the full points for English and community language scores)?
Thank you in advance to anyone who can help enlighten me.
Worst comes to worst if the Bachelors degree is not equivalent and not suitable for migration
If you get a positive skills assessment - and deducted by 3 years ,most likely you will get 0 point claims for skilled employment under a 190 or 491 visa?
Try to work out the scenarios and combinations of the worst to the best
Most likely if you run into lesser points than the current trend you will have to wait for a while.
Key is to harness all the possibilities to max out your points in other frames of the points system.
Try to check the current points cut-off of those that got an invite for your occupation to weigh your possibilities .
Vetassess or other assessing authorities have no capacity to determine the equivalence of an applicant’s qualification. We all refer to CEP. From the information provided, I can already tell for sure that the qualification is equivalent to an AQF degree due to the institution being under section 1. There is no need to wait for the outcome letter to confirm this as CEP states that this is the case. Now, what the applicant needs to wait for from VETASSESS is whether or not the course of study is highly relevant to the course of studies. I could only assume that it won’t be, hence they will deduct 3 years work experience. In any case, the applicant will only lose 5 points which isn’t much at all.
That’s correct as per @Ozdrims just exhaust as much points as you can. As an agent, I always say as long as you meet the minimum points eligibility, there’s always a chance. It may be a longer wait but I will never be in a position to tell a client not to pursue the oz dream but just prepare to wait. Be mindful, 190 and 491 are not subject to priority points. Hindi necessary pataasan ng points, that’s only applicable to 189 and 491 (family sponsored). It’s the state that determines the criteria. The target sector for this financial year, is education and health but that doesn’t mean if one isn’t under these sectors, no chance na. The possible silver lining here is since the applicant is just in the early days of the skills assessment stage, likely the policies/plans for current financial isn’t something to be taken with high regards. By the time the applicant is ready for EOI, it’s most likely by July at the earliest which is the new financial year - new migration plans and state allocations will likely apply. Hence, if the applicant really wants to pursue this, just take things a step at a time. The fact that it seems that the assessment could yield a successful outcome and that potentially he/she will meet the eligibility minimum points, that’s something I won’t hesitate to take for a case 👍
