189 Visa to oz??
Hi, was wondering if i'm going to apply for the 189 visa is it better to get my IELTS + VETNASSESS(or other TRA) first, then apply. Not sure whether to use an agency, i've been told you can do it but I dont want to make a mistake

I did the skills assessment and IELTS myself - then used an agent to file state sponsorship and actual visa app at reduced cost (agent fee only £900 instead of £1800 if onboard for everything). I only used an agent as the rules were changing, and I didn't have enough time / organisation to convince myself I could complete it

If you want to apply for a PR visa, you would need skills assessment first. That would be Vetassess, Vic Uni or Future Skills. If you do not need the points, and are the citizen / passport holder of the UK (and some other countries) you do not need IELTS. You need to look at the Vetassess site - http://www.vetassess.com.au/migrate_...ade_skills.cfm to see if you can pass the skills assessment; and Skill select for visas (but booklet 6 covers the main ones - http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/booklets/1119.pdf )

I had to do the IELTS course as well. I recommend you revise if you need to get 8 points.

Haha thats true, I did mine in perth with about 150 others. I was in total shock that the woman reading out rules and instructions couldnt speak english properly as she had trouble pronouncing words properly and using correct grammer. A bit of a laugh really

I done mine in Bangkok with about 500 others and it was an Aussie guy who gave the speech.
Sorry, can't help with the interview although I think I read somewhere on the forum that they ask questions about motors. That seems to be a hot topic in Australia. I would also expect maximum demand and cable calcs, volt dro, etc.
