Tanong ko lang so sa pointing system yung under ng qualification. So makakakuha ba tayo ng 15 points dahil dito "At least a bachelor degree from an Australian educational institution or other degree of a recognised standard" tapos 10 points pa na dagdag dahil dito "An award or qualification recognised by the assessing authority in the assessment of the skilled occupation" after magpaassess. Please help me.
Paano ka umabot ng 65 points?
Salamat ng marami.

I applied on-line.
You will get 15points if you get your bachelor's degree assessed by EA as equivalent to an Oz degree.
You get additional points for years of relevant skilled occupation as assessed by EA (i.e 5pts for 1 year Oz experience or 3yrs overseas). You can get max of 20pts from skilled occupation.
See my pts breakdown below.
Age - 30
Bachelors degree - 15
English skills - 20
Total = 65
Cheers!

Is a 476 visa really required (or just ideal) to apply for the 189 visa?
How long after being granted the 476 visa can I apply for the 189 visa?
And can I go ahead and apply directly for the 189 visa instead to consolidate my efforts (and cost)?

- No. They are separate visa's with separate application processes.
How long after being granted the 476 visa can I apply for the 189 visa?
- You can apply anytime.
And can I go ahead and apply directly for the 189 visa instead to consolidate my efforts (and cost)?
- Yes, you can.
