As for immigration purposes, it is strategic that you use your maiden name even after marriage or even if you really want to use your husband's surname if it is time-consuming and costly to have replacement documents.
The birth certificate DOES NOT show civil status... it's a report of your birth. So don't worry about it showing as single because it doesn't.
To show married status, just submit your marriage certificate and an updated NBI that shows married. Note that NBI and immigration authorities would want to have a PSA certified copy of your marriage certificate... for some instances this could take a while as well.

I checked CPA Australia... Skills Assessment and Skilled Employment Assessment are not one and the same.
Skills Assessment - assessment if your qualification is equivalent to an Australian degree, mandatory competency areas are met, English proficiency requirement is met
Skilled Employment Assessment - assessment of employment history to determine if experience obtained is relevant to the chosen ANZSCO occupation.
Based on my understanding of the Home Office website, husband only needs Skills Assessment to satisfy Partner Skills points. Confirming my understanding po.

Saw this in another website:
You can receive five points if your partner meets requirements at the time you are invited to apply relating to:
Age;
English Language Ability;
A suitable skills assessment in a nominated occupation on the same Skilled Occupation List used for your application.
You cannot receive these points if your partner is not included on your visa application, or if they are an Australian citizen or an Australian permanent resident.

Is it okey na parehas kami mag lodge ng EOI using both for us yung partner skills and wait nalang which ever comes first will be the main applicant?
I already submitted an EOI thru my agent last Oct 2017.
For my wife, is it okey for her to submit an EOI also? We are not planning to have an agent in her case and process docs with our selves.
My wife was assessed as a Accountant (General) [ANZSCO 221111] by CPAA and got a positive feedback for her qualifications (school credentials) & 10 years work experiences.
I was assessed as an Engineering Technologist [ANZSCO 233914] by EA and got a positive feedback for my qualifications (school credentials) & 5 years work experiences.
My wifes points:
Age: 25 Points
Englsh: 10 Points (PTE ACADEMIC)
Qualification: 15 Points (BS Accountancy)
Work Exp: 15 Points (10 years - Assessed by CPA)
Partner Skills: 5 Points (Husband - Engineering Tech - ANZSCO 233914)
State Nomination: 5 Points (NSW - SUBCLASS 190)
TOTAL POINTS: 75 POINTS
My Points:
Age: 30 Points
Englsh: 0 Points (Competent English)
Qualification: 15 Points (BS Mechanical Engineering)
Work Exp: 10 Points (5 years - Assessed by EA)
Partner Skills: 5 Points (Wife - Accountant (General) - ANZSCO 221111)
State Nomination: 5 Points (NSW - SUBCLASS 190)
TOTAL POINTS: 65 POINTS
Hope you can give some pointers, suggestion so we can start the process na.
Thanks In Advance!!!

@ceinau15 thanks for your response!
but does anyone got news or somebody have an experience if they are invited with 75points (SC190-NSW)? or should target the required points as of today which is 80-85 points?
Thanks

75 points will have less chances as accountants invited lately are having 80 points. I know someone who have been waiting fro 2 years already with 75 points.
