@habibi, according to immi AU:
<blockquote>If your partner is included in your application you may be awarded points if at time of invitation, he or she:
• is able to satisfy ‘basic requirements’ including age, English language ability and
nominated occupation; and
• has obtained a suitable skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority for
their nominated occupation.
Points are only available if your partner is included in your application as an applicant.
Points are not available if your partner is an Australian citizen or permanent resident.</blockquote>
<blockquote>Evidence to support your application
- Obtain evidence that your partner satisfies the basic requirements:
• a suitable skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority for your partner’s
nominated occupation (see ‘Self-assessment’ on page 18);
• evidence of age (see ‘points for Age’ on page 19); and
• evidence of English language ability (see page 20).
- Your partner should provide a suitable skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority
at the time of invitation.</blockquote>
Not necessarily kailangan nasa IT. Basta may points ang age, english assessment, and pina-assess mo na skills nya at positive ang assessment. Ano ba work nya?
@mlac23, 5 points lang ang state sponsorship, unless he chooses visa 489, which is not the same as permanent resident visa.
