Getting support with a State Nominated Skilled Visa
Many people don’t know that even if you meet the point requirements, you are not guaranteed to be granted the specified amount of points if you are unable to provide evidence the government deems as suitable to verify your points. Given how competitive the skilled nominated visa pathway is, you definitely wouldn’t want to risk having your application knocked back due to unsuitable evidence. This is where using a Registered Migration Agent, like True Blue Migration can be a game changer.
