My wife and I would like to know if it is possible to claim partner skill points given that my occupation is in the SOL & CSOL (261313 Software Engineer) where as my wife’s occupation is in the CSOL only (132511 Research and Development Manager).
With this, we are planning to apply for Victoria State Sponsorship so that both our occupation will be under CSOL which are used for state sponsorship.
Kasi po may nabasa ako na dapat nasa same SOL ang occupation niyong mag-asawa para eligible sa partner skills points. Ok lang ba since both nasa same CSOL occupation namin if mag-apply kami for Visa 190 State Sponsorship?
Looking forward for your help po, salamat ng marami.
