How many points do I actually need for a Skilled Migration invitation?
While the minimum requirement is 65 points, the "competitive" score varies significantly by occupation and state. We provide a breakdown of current invitation rounds to give you a realistic view of where you stand and how to legally maximize your points through NAATI, Professional Years, or regional study.
What is the difference between a 190 and a 491 visa?
The Subclass 190 is a permanent residency visa from day one, requiring state nomination. The Subclass 491 is a five-year provisional visa for regional areas that provides a pathway to PR (Subclass 191) after living and working in a regional area for three years. We help you decide which is more achievable based on your occupation.
Can I apply for a visa if my occupation is not on the MLTSSL?
Yes. Many occupations are available via the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) or the Regional Occupation List (ROL), which may lead to employer-sponsored or state-nominated pathways. We analyze your specific code (ANZSCO) to find every available option.
My visa was refused. Can I stay in Australia while I appeal?
In most cases, if you apply for a merits review within the strict legal timeframe, you will be granted a Bridging Visa that allows you to remain in Australia until a decision is made. We recommend an immediate consultation to assess your timelines.
How long does the migration process take?
Processing times vary based on the Department of Home Affairs' priorities and global volumes. We provide our clients with the latest "Global Processing Time" data for their specific visa subclass to ensure realistic expectations.
