Hi, and welcome to the forum

You might be best to start your own thread as your background is a little different to the original poster on this one

Also have a look at Australian Government Department of Immigration and Border Protection for more details on the visas themselves.

What do you reckon; is state nomination 190 visa quicker than independent 189 or not?Pls shed some light on this if you could.Thanks

I think you should check and see if you could pass both skills assessments, and check how many points you would have for both, and use that to make a decision. If you cannot get to more than 70 points as an accountant, any EOI you submit will wait a long time to be selected. If you can meet the requirements of the second occupation, and the points requirement, you need to check which states are sponsoring it, and any additional criteria they have.
