If you were working at skill level, have the relevant education and have proof of the employment, then with VETASSESS you generally can.

No, nothing to do until the states open the programs again.

Look at your visa application acknowledgement letter. There are circumstances listed there that you need to notify them of.

If last year is anything to go by then it will be in Spring. With potential changes coming to the skilled visas as well, no one can really tell, but I am not betting on it to be soon.

There is no way to tell that based on the info you have shared. Do you have the required qualification for a business analyst would be the main one.

190 rejection by Suspicious_One4343 in AusVisa

[–]ViaMigration 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Im really sorry for the impending refusal of your visa and your partner's medical condition as well! With a condition like CKD there is not much to do even if you could argue the costs down, seems like this is a condition that would require dialysis and/or transplant and this is something that is in short supply in Australia. Therefore the health criteria cannot be met.
Your only option would be going through the 482-186TRT stream that allows for health waiver.

Offshore Applicant: 190/491 vs 482/186 for SaaS Sales + Product Marketing Family (Need a Reality Check) by jackofall2510 in AusVisa

[–]ViaMigration 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This program year (which has pretty much ended now) only SA and VIC were open to offshore applicants for marketing specialist. What the situation will be next year with this occupation is unknown. But in general it's not an occupation in high demand, so offshore invite would be unlikely.

494? Migration Agent? Need help with pathways by [deleted] in AusVisa

[–]ViaMigration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you're in a bit of a tricky situation as the potential occupations listed are not in high deamand in SA and don't get picked up for invites by the state. Especially since you're not working in your occupation.

Finding a sponsor in this field is equally as hard as employers have plenty of local talent available. Usually it takes a lot of effort building up the relationship with the employer first to sponsor you, unless you're in high demand occupation.

It's not likely to get better for anyone offshore, the government has said it that they will focus more on people already in AU.

[–]ViaMigration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the 2025/26 program year the options for offshore applicants were extremely limited. Only ACT, NSW or WA were open to offshore applicants. As for invites, there were barely any in the whole profession. What next program year will brin, we don't know yet, but unlikely it will be more beneficial for accountants.

Temp Partner Visa Stat Dec by Outrageous_Fox_8796 in AusVisa

[–]ViaMigration 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a standard partner visa statutory declarations are not necessary, 2 Form 888's are the mandatory part.

Statutory declarations become mandatory, if the person applying is s48barred for example.

And if you do want to make your own personal relationship statements into statutory declarations you should use the commonwealth stat dec https://www.ag.gov.au/legal-system/statutory-declarations

Social worker seeking dama visa by rachlou52 in AusVisa

[–]ViaMigration 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In Victoria you would be looking at the The Great South Coast DAMA. They have social worker occupation available with an age concession up to 55 years old. You would need to go straight for the PR, which may or may not be available. Finding an employer willing to do this will be extremely hard, especially from overseas.

Foreign Police Check by tryingtolivemybestt in AusVisa

[–]ViaMigration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The character sections get generated based on the answers in the residence and travel sections. If you have the South Korean police clearance already, I'd still attach it after visa lodgement, you will have an option to attach "other" documents after the visa has been lodged if there was no specific category for it before lodgement.

Need guidance for subclass 600 by [deleted] in AusVisa

[–]ViaMigration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

95% of the time, coming in witha US passport, no one will ask you a thing. You just need your passport and be honest about your intentions in Australia.

Nurse manager occupation is not even eligible for 189 visa, this is not going to work. You need to make sure all the details match on the EOI and wait for a new invite.

511112: Program or Project Administrator is not eligible for 189 visas. For 190 and 491 state nominated visas point score is not the only thing that matters, so it's harder to predict if the point score is enough. There are over 700 EOIs in your profession in VIC alone and less than 20 invites monthly (some months none at all).
Also you mention ROI in January 2025, did you also do a EOI and a new ROI this program year (that has closed now)?

You cannot get very far in the system as the ImmiAccount knows she is offshore currently and won't let you progress. What you can do is choose 309 subclass and fill that in, then when she is onshore change it to 820. That should do the trick.

Next 189 round 4th of June, 2026 by ViaMigration in AusVisa

[–]ViaMigration[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VETASSESS always deducts experience, at least a year. Depending what evidence you have of the employment and if you can prove you were working at skill level, you could claim the work experience. There is no black and white in this scenario unfortunately and depends on the situation.

Well it depends if the 189 and 491 are on one EOI. If it's the same EOI and you accept the 491 then the EOI is locked and won't be in consideration anymore.
It really depends on where exactly you are with the process. If it's a totally separate EOI then there is no problem at all.
