<blockquote rel="AnnieIngles">Hi all. Appreciate if anyone can give me any advice. Hubby got his IELTS results and he got an OBS of 6, meaning 0 pts sya when we compute for points dba? Without the ILETS, we are at 55 points. Our agent suggests to go for the State Sponsorship route so that we can get additional 5 points. If we get the approval for SS, do we automatically get invited for Visa 190 because we now have 60 points? Does this mean we can no longer go for Visa 189?

If you get SS, yes. that's automatic automatic invitation for 190. If you are claiming the 5pts from SS, thats no longer independent (189) 🙂. You can still get 5 points from other sources except state nomination to qualify for a 190 invite 🙂
