Hello everyone..!!
I have been assessed as an Engineering Technologist by Engineers Australia but I don’t have any work experience points to claim. I have 65 points right now (Age = 30, Qualification =15, PTE = 20). Is there any chance to get an invite from any Australian state with these points without having work experience?

Hi!
I am currently a nurse have almost 8 years of experience. However, I have not studied in Australia and the only way for me to apply state sponsorship is through a job offer. But I don’t think I could let an employer wait that long for me to apply 190, so 489 seems to be my option. I saw that there is a chance of being invited to apply 190 even I apply 489 cat3A, do you think you could prepare me for the chance of getting this opportunity?
I am currently 65 points without state sponsorship score. Turning into 70 in August with 8 years of working experience.

Dear Peng,
I am a qualified Chef. I have got a positive Chef skill assessment from TRA. Currently my points is 55 without 10 points from state. I am trying to get a better score to gain more points.
My inquiry is If my wife study in Tasmania on a student visa, and I am on dependent visa. Will I as a main applicant for 190/489 visa be still eligible to meet the study requirements for Tasmania.?
Is any chance to get invited with 65 plus points without working in Tasmania, will be invited 489v?

Thank you for your detailed explanation for each category about visa 190 for Tasmania. Currently, I am a Master of Commerce student at Macquarie University.

hi my wife is main applicant and we have been living in tasmania from 4 months .
our skill assessment has been refused by VETASSES [family support worker]
she is completing her 35 hours an week .and my migration lawyer said there is no way we can appeal and re apply skills assessment .
is there any way we can get our skills assessment or we can apply any visa which doesnot require skill assessment.
