Australian Permanent Work Visa
Hi
I am 43 yr old IT Professional Guy.
Currently am working on Storage , Backup and Archiving Technologies such as NetApp, NetBackup and Enterprise Vault.
I want to apply for the Australian PR Visa....
Need to understand how to go about this....I don't want to go thru any agent..
I am Bachelor of Engineer in Electronics and have more than 10 yrs of relevant IT Experience.
Will my age factor be a problem?
Will my BE(Electronic) and IT experience be considered miss-alignment between the two?
If the answer is NO to the above question...then would appreciate below answers:
Which option to choose for applying appropriate VISA?
How to submit my documents to ACS for Invitation letter?
Appreciate all your help on this?
Thanks
regards
Beegees

Re: Australian Permanent Work Visa
Go to Australian Government Department of Immigration and Border Protection and read about the 189 or 190 visa.
Then check the SOL and CSOL to see if your occupation is on either list. Maybe do that and tell us how you get on.

Re: Australian Permanent Work Visa
Your age will not be a problem, but the age can provide you some points which might be less (i believe for 43 yrs you will get 20 points). For an applicant to qualify 60 points is the cut off and because you get only 20 points for the age factor, the other things like IELTS you may need to score at the higher end of the band to equalize.
From your degree perspective, I don't see much of issues and i have heard from my friends with similar background assessed positively by ACS in the past.
Wish you all the best!

Re: Australian Permanent Work Visa
Instead ...what I have arrived at is something like this :
Age: --- 43yrs = ---points (15)
Qualification: Electronic Engineering =---points (15)
Work Experience: 8+yrs = ---points (15) (documented evidence mandatory)
IELTS: (General) 7.0 each = ---points (10)
State Nomination: (South Australia) = ---points (5)
Required Points: 60
Scored Points: 60
Does this look good enough to qualify for the Visa ...!

Re: Australian Permanent Work Visa
Now my only concern is whether I need to wait for my IELTS Exam to be done before I submit Expression of Interest on the Australian Visa site
OR I can go ahead and submit expression of Interest now and in the mean time prepare myself to give the IELTS Exam in next month.
Please let me know. Appreciate all the help and replies
