Oz: Border case of Points for age-Please help
Hello friends,
I request your help for the following situation of mine.
I have submitted my application for skill assessment to IEAUST and awaiting
their report.
I understand that the skill assessment report is a prerequisite to submit form 47SK.
My problem is regarding points for age.
My date of birth is July 30th 1968 and Iam 33 years old now and I will attain 34
years as on 30th July 2002.
1. If I submit my application on or before 30th July 2002, can I claim 25 points for
age? Will the points be awarded based on the date of application OR date of
processing by Adelaide centre?
2. If I do not receive my skill assessment before 30th July 2002, can I forward
my visa application, with a request that my skill assessment result shall be
sent later?
As you may be aware, these 5 points have become very crucial in light of the recent
increase in points. So any suggestions and help will be invaluable to me and I shall
be thankful to you for the same.
With thanks in advance
Prad

If you are aged 34 you will still get 25 points for age. Points for age drop to 20 on
your 35th birthday.

Date of application.

No. You must have a skill assessment, although you could submit a skill assessment
other than IEAUST (eg VETASSESS) and forward the IEAUST assessment later.

Am I right in assuming that the "Date of application" is more or less the day when
the application is delivered by mail to the Adelaide office (or, at the latest, only
a few days later)? That is, if it is the date when the envelope is actually opened by
a DIMIA clerk and the application is stameped with the "Received" stamp, and the
DIMIA office happens to have a several weeks' backlog of unopened envelopes, then
some procrastinating people may be out for un unpleasant surprise!

My belief it is based on date of receipt by Adelaide. Although it's best for the
applicant to send the application by courier and hence be able to get a proof of
delivery to the office.

I've never believed those stories that post goes 'unopened' although it may well be
that certain items of mail are not dealt with immediately.
