Hello, I have a question regarding the job offer. I have a job offer from Fremantle for 12 months. I’m looking for state nomination from WA. I have total 65 points including state nomination and my English score is 6.5 band. Positive ACS under 261312 Developer Programmer
Could you please suggest me if there is any chance of getting the nomination to approve?
Peng Cheng · February 6, 2019 at 6:59 pm
