The Skilled Migration visa Australia operates on a points system basis. The principal applicant is assessed using a points test. Points are awarded for a number of characteristics, such as age, occupation, work experience, level of competence in English. You must meet the points passmark to secure your visa. Points range from 100 – 120 dependent upon the visa applied for.

If a visa Australia applicant has achieved enough points to join the pool but not enough to have their application accepted, they will wait in the pool with other applicants for up to two years.  If at any time during this two year period the “pass mark” to proceed their application further is lowered below their current number of points then they will be able to move on to the next stage of the process.
