I can´t give up...That´s my dream
I´m studying for NAATI examination in order to elect translator as my profession as well getting the 5 bonus points. I´ve looked at the points test and came to the following calculation:
- Skill = 60
- Age = 25 (I´m 30)
- English = 20
- Bonus Points NAATI= 5
I´m thinking of taking a 2 years diploma course in a regional area in order to get the 10 other points I need. I mean:
- 5 points for Australian diploma +
- 5 points for Regional Australia
Does my plan seem suitable?
I was previously considering points for specific work experience (36/48), but as I lived in Australia from May 2003 to July 2004 I have a gap of 14 months and can´t meet this criteria.
Finally, an immigration agent in Brazil told me that all aplicants who have completed any Bachelor degree get 5 points more. I couldn´t find this info anywhere. Have anyone heard about that? He seems a very confused professional.
Thanks in advance for ur help.

2. The information you appear to have been given is incorrect. Have you read the information on the DIMIA website.
3. Your Australian qualification must be relevant to your nominated occupation.
4. Can you be sure the requirements for immigration will be the same in 2 years?
Obviously you need to be sure you can meet all the migration requirements as they are currently, plus be sure you can afford to study for 2 years in Australia.
