Kasi si hubby nakakuha ng results sa EA assessment pero instead of EE naging Engineering Technologist and equivalent raw to Advanced Diploma. We are thinking of doing assessment naman sa TRA naman for Electrical Engineering Technician. But worry namin if bagsak nya Advanced Diploma pa rin, sayang bayad...

Question po - me and my wife are both CPAs with 9 years of working experience.
We wish to move to AU together with our 2 kids, should we both apply separately as independent skilled? or isa lang sa amin ang mag apply? Thanks in advance :-)

lesser docs ang ipapasa mula sa secondary applicant..
decide po muna kayo sino mag main applicant, sya dapat yung mas sure na makakakuha ng mataas na points at mas sure na makakakuha ng supporting documents for the claimed points ( like employment docs) at kung sino mas sure na makakakuha ng mataas na score sa PTE/ielts to have more points and more chances of invitation. Hope this helps. GB
