Hi good day!
We have just received a letter from our co yesterday. Our eoi points was 160 but now during their initial assessment of our application, it was reduced to 120 for an smc visa application.
The qualification bonus points and work experience bonus points were deducted. He told us that my husband who originally claimed bonus points as an electrical engineer does not qualify in that certain ltssl however he qualified for a different area which is an electrical technician. They cannot grant us the bonus points for his work experience as his job description focuses on maintenance technician in which he focuses on electrical related maintenance still.
Now the co has given us until march 1 to reply back and he told us that they are unlikely to approve our application with all our given information.
I wanted to get the advice of some people here who have been in the same situation, we were devastated as we are hopeful that we could have a chance on smc visa. What do you think should we do at this stage? Do you think we still have a chance on getting approved?
