Points Test Help
I want to immigrate to Australia through the skilled independent cat but have
realised that i am short of about 5 points (110 pts). Does anyone know whether they
would even consider my application. I am willing to put in more $$ if needed.Has
anyone in the same situation managed to get their PR. Would appreciate your advice.
Thanks!!

Re: Points Test Help
With 110 points, you will not meet the passmark, and therefore, you will be kept in the "pool" for up to 2 years, with the hope that when/if the passmark drops, your application will be revisited. Being in the "pool" isn't the best value-for-money one can hope for with the application fee of AUD1,700+.
You say you're willing to put more money, but what do you mean by that? If you have AUD100,000 to spare, you can possibly get extra 5 points if you invest that amount of money in an Aussie government approved instrument.

Re: Points Test Help
As Peter says, applying with 110 points is taking a risk with your A$1745.
Why not apply for Skill Matching directly? No initial cost (other than skill
assessment) and try for a regional nomination. Depending on your skills, you could
talk to Victoria or South Australia:
