The Australia immigration skill visa is the easiest way to obtain Australian permanent residence status. If you have very good English language ability and have an occupation in demand (called a MODL), you have an even better chance of obtaining an Australian Skill visa.
Background to the Australia skill visa and Australian skill migration: The Australian Government using their research has identified certain occupation shortages. These identified shortages change over time. A solution to fill these shortages is offering eligible individuals permanent residency Australian skill visas in order to attract them to move to Australia. Once the visa is granted the applicant retains their permanent residency visa irrespective of whether the skill shortage ends or continues. Applicants who are granted the Australian Skill Visa hold the visa for 5 years. Once they travel to Australia they are required to remain in Australia in order to be eligible for a new permanent residency visa when the first Australia skill visa expires.
Those occupations which have a higher demand attract greater points. Those occuapations in less demand attract less points. The highest priority occupations are found in a list called the MODL. As these occupation shortage needs are met, the skills and qualifications needed may no longer be required, resulting in the occupation classification eventually being deleted. Australia Skill Visa class applicants are assessed on a number of criteria. Some criteria are mandatory; others are not. Those that are manditory are the skill assessment and English language ability. The process in obtaining the Australia Skill visa The first part of the process is having your skills and qualifications assessed (skill assessment). This assessment is completed by an organization involved with your occupation. If you obtain a successful skill and qualification assessment, you may be eligible for the next stage of the Australia skill visa process. This next stage involves assessing such criteria as your English language ability and the length of time you have been employed in your occupation. You are awarded points for these criteria. If you have high level English ability you may be eligible for additional points. The total score is then calculated and if you meet or pass this identified score, you may be eligible for a permanent skill visa. The government identified score can change from year to year. Now if a person has been able to obtain a positive assessment in the Australia Skill Visa application yet has been unable to obtain sufficient points to meet the identified government score for the skill visa - they might be eligible for a permanent residency visa through government or employer sponsorship. There is also a visa which, so long as you have a qualifying relative residing in a particular location; makes you eligible for a remote skill visa. If you are a recent graduate from an Australian education facility you may be eligible for a temporary visa which will allow you to work for up to 18 months and during this time apply for an Australian Skill visa. A related visa which may involve employer sponsorship is called the Employer Nomination visa. This visa is an option where your qualifications and skills are unique and in short supply in Australia. The visa requires a nominated business to apply for sponsorship status. Once this status is approved, the applicant may apply for the visa. Not all occupations and skills are accepted. The Australian periodically publishes a list of occupations that may be sponsored. Most applicants applying for an Australian skill visa have issues in identifying the most appropriate skill visa and conditions attached to a particular class of skill visa. Difficulties also arise in obtaining the required documentation in both the assessment stage and the final visa application stage. Our experience in identifying these matters gives you a greater chance of obtaining this visa.
