    Default Skilled migrant visa: job offer in skilled employment for less than 12 months

    Hi there,
    I have at the moment 140 points without a job offer under the skilled visa expression of interest criteria.
    I found an employer who is willing to offer a job but for less than 12 months ( the job is on the shortage list), which I can understand as the employer needs first to test me.
    Is it possible for me to claim the 50 points for skilled employment job offer ?
    Cheers

    If your job offer is not permanent job position, you may not granted 50 points from this job offer.

    Is there some other visa other than residence that might suit you to come here first, start working, get a permanent contract and THEN go for SMC residence? Not sure what your situation is but you might be eligible for another kind of temporary visa?

    I agree with the last poster.

    You definitely can't get the points for a short contract. SM7.15 b ii. http://onlineservices.immigration.go...nual/30549.htm
