Thanks George.
I called the IEAUST this morning but the buttessing officer that dealt with my case was not at his desk and I had to leave for work. I explained the situation to a colleague of his and they said they would pbutt the message on and ask my buttessing officer to e-mail me.
If I don't hear anything I will call them again tonight.
On looking back at our points, we may be OK anyway by just getting 5 points for work experience. On reading booklet 6 it seems that for 60 point occupations you can have 5 points for having 3 out of the last 4 years work experience in any occupation on the SOL. So, as long as I at least get 5 points for work experience we should be OK.
60 - occupation 30 - age 20 - English 5 - work experience 5 - spouse skills
120
We could sell the house for the $100 bond if need be. Actually, if you applied for a 136 but didn't get enough points awarded from DIMIA, then they pooled you at say 115 points. Can you then say to them, heres $100,000 and they then add that to your visa - or do you have to re- apply from scratch?
I wonder if thats happened to anyone?
