  @marianne_pinoyau mainit kasi yung occupation ng asawa mo sa nsw. daming nakapila na 55 points and above. criteria pa naman sa nsw is occupation-points-english kaya kung 55 points at competent lang ay mahihirapan din. try to review and practice for PTE. gawin nya inspiration ang oz dream para makapasa.

  @marianne_pinoyau yes, very competitive yang occupation na yan...software engineer din sa akin...di ko makuha 8.0 sa ielts kaya nag PTE ako at naka kuha naman ako ng 88. naka 70pts ako now, so pag submit ko ng EOI, after 1wk, na invite agad.
  
  Dapat at least siguro 65-70 pts nya para ma invite sa ganyang occupation.
