<blockquote class="Quote" rel="suntanline">Hi Everyone,
I recently decided to pursue my application for permanent residence in Australia, specifically NSW. Unlike most of you on this forum (from what I've read in the last 2 hours) who are Engineers, Accountants, and Nurses, my occupation is a Public Relations Professional. It's not under the priority list of NSW, so I'm considering applying via Stream 2. I've tallied my points, and at the least, I'm assuming I'm at 65 points (if I'm able to receive SS), and at most (if I score close to perfect on my PTEs), 75. Can anyone share any relevant experience on their application in a similar field (i.e. Marketing-related)?
I'm currently compiling all requirements for my initial assessment with VETASSESS. I'm hopeful it will be positive.
Also, I've spoken to 2 different migration agencies, who each have their own recommendations on how I should proceed. Honestly, they were both saying different things, which led me to conducting my own research. In the end, I've decided to proceed independently. If you also have tips on how best to move forward, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!</blockquote>
how did you come up with 65 points?
Age - 25?
English - 10
Work exp -10?
Educ - 15?
SS - 5
your nominated occupation falls under group B, which means that a Bachelor's degree is required with 1 year of work exp if your degree is highly relevant or 2 years if not highly relevant.
1 or 2 years is on top of the number of years of work exp, so if you are claiming 10 points for 5 years, you must have at least 6/7 years of work exp.
