Hello Anil
I’m the main applicant (Analyst programmer-261311, MLTSSL) and my husband is the secondary applicant (Software Tester - 261314, STSOL). I had an overall score of 75 for independent and 80 for sponsored category. Now my husband ACS skill assessment came to be successful and he has a competent PTE score as well.
I have 5 EOI’s in total one for independent and the other 4 for Vctoria, NSW, Queensland and Any State. So while I tried updating the Partner skill points for all these 5 EOI’s, except independent 189 EOI all other EOI’s got updated with 5 points. So now my points for 189 is 75 and for 190 is 85.
But for independent even if we try claiming the 5 points by providing all his information regarding DOB, PTE score and ACS assessment still it does not update the score. Is that because Software Tester is not listed under 189 class. Both our job code is listed under 190 scheme so may be that’s why points are getting updated for all the other 4 sponsored category EOI’s.
Now my confusion is if the requirement of both our skill to be in the same list is mandatory then won’t it be an over claiming of points if an invitation I receive for 190 class from any state as my 5 points I gained is by mentioning the partners skill points. So in that case should I edit and remove those points claimed?
Also I heard that NSW now have an additional requirement for some category of occupation to be living and working in NSW for one year. So my occupation comes in that category so that means I cannot expect an invitation from NSW though my secondary applicant is not listed for this additional requirement. But will they consider the occupation code of the second applicant or just the main application? if it is main applicant then chances of getting an invite from NSW is nil for me now? is my understanding correct?
Finally, currently for 75 point scorer by 17th Jul 2019, what is the expected independent visa invitation?
Thanks Anil for all the support which you provide to us.
