Lisa P Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Hi, I am looking at applying for a 190 visa. Providing I get a 7 in all sections of the ILETS test I don't need my partners points as I'll score 65 points, however, do you think it's worth doing anyway so that I score 70 points? I know my partner will have to have his skills assessed and do the ILELTS test as well. I'm applying under "Real Estate Representative", we are a family of 4 and I'm concerned that they won't approve my application if they think my skill is too low level to support a family of 4?? My husband is an IT consultant and has a higher skill level than me. Does it work like that or am I worrying about nothing??? Thanks!

cjbchris Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 If you are sure you'll get the 65, then you should be okay.. I applied with 65 without the partner points for 189 and had no bother. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soroka Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 The 190 visa is not ranked by points unlike the 189, as long as you get the 55 points then 5 for state sponsorship your in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DyLeB Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) No advantage of getting partners skills assessed if you are main applicant for 190 visa. Both occupations need to be on same list to be able to claim partner points, therefore if partner occupation on SOL 1 you wouldnt get points anyway. Do you have a positive skills assessment??
