Do you have to work in the skill that you are tra'd for
My husband is applying for a skilled independent visa. Basically we applied part of his skill set to a specific category (which he is able to prove with certification and work experience) to enable us to qualify for the 60 points and he is just about ready to send off his TRA.
My question is this, his skill set is a lot more diverse than is required to qualify for his particular category and probably he would not be looking for work in this field. Assuming we get the visa, does he have to work in the field that enabled him to get his visa or can he look for a different type of work.
He read that once you have used a time period and specific skill sets you can't use them to apply for different licences. However, my argument is that only parts of his work apply to the skill category so surely he would be able to quote the other ones when applying for different licences.
I hope this makes sense, sorry to ramble.
