>>> clarify ko lng po sana yung info above..So, if may hubby is a telecom engineer in which nasa SOL list cia at ako nman ay RN na nasa SOL list, pwede po ba kami maka gain ng additional 5 points for partner qualification? Considering na okay ang other factors like positive skills assessment, age and the like.
>>> Kahit engineer c hubby at nurse ako, as long as pareho kaming nasa SOL ay pwede mag claim ng 5 points? Tama po ba? Or need po pareho na nominated occupation, say, dapat parehong Registered Nurse (Medical)?

no other pathway but to pursue your nursing career. Should be RN with English threshold level of IELTS Band Score 7 each test or equivalent, and take bridging course in Australia. It's a tough journey but if others have done it, you can do it too.

Question: I'll be using the same passport details (nung nabasa) since yun yung ginamit naming infor all thru-out the visa processing. Once ma-grant, what should I do? How will I update the renewed passport number ng partner ko? Form 929 ba? Or any other means?
