Hello ,did anyone out there not have the relevant work experience needed for visa and still succeeded to emigrate? we are trying to apply with my wife as main applicant who's job is on modl [cook] and would reach 120 points easily,but because she hasnt worked as a cook for 8 years we wouldnt get the points.she has a list of catering qualifications as long as my arm.she could get a cooks job in UK for 12 months and then apply but we cant wait to get started. PLEASE HELP !!!!!!! :scared:

Sorry, can't really help but try posting to 'Working Abroad by Profession' or 'Australia and New Zealand Immigration' forums on this site.
