Regional Skilled Sponsored Visa - 475
#1
![Default](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hello there all helping hands and good friends,
I am starting new thread as I could not get required information anywhere.
I applied for my wife's VETASSESS (counselor, 2513-79) assessment and yesterday I found positive result online, so it's like a bit relief.
She has worked for 3years as a Counselor in India before coming to UK. Now it's been a year (13months)she is in UK. As she can prove 95 points, she'll have to go for Skilled Regional Sponsor Visa (475 - state sponsorship) so that she can get more 10points and that's how fits in criteria of 100points. Hardly there is only one state WA where Counselor comes in shortage list.
But problem is that she'll apply for state sponsorship and that will take a bit of time and then (if she is successful in state sponsorship) applies for Visa, she'll be lacking of work experience (where rule says one have to have one year experience in last two years). She could be about a month or two month short. Do they allow it or not?
I am really confused that how can I sort this out.
Any help/suggestions would be great, like which other visa she can go for.
Cheers,
Manish
