Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189)

The Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189) is a points-tested permanent residence pathway for eligible skilled workers who do not rely on employer sponsorship or state nomination. A strong application usually depends on the right occupation strategy, a properly aligned skills assessment, and evidence that clearly supports the points claims made.

At Seek Visa Solutions, we help skilled applicants prepare 189 pathway cases with clearer structure and stronger document planning. From points and occupation review to skills assessment strategy and Expression of Interest preparation, our support focuses on clarity, evidence, and better migration planning.

Subclass 189 Support for Skilled Migrants

The 189 pathway can be highly competitive, so a careful review before EOI and visa lodgement is important. A better-prepared case can help reduce avoidable points errors, weak occupation alignment, and mismatches between claims and evidence.

Common Documents and Evidence

A well-prepared 189 case usually includes identity, skills, points, and occupation-related records presented in a clear and consistent format.

Passport, identity documents, civil records, and current visa status documents where relevant.
Positive skills assessment, English language evidence, and documents supporting the selected occupation.
Work history, education, licensing, and employment records relevant to points and skilled migration eligibility.
Partner, dependant, and points-related evidence where additional claims are being made.

What We Review Before Lodgement

A careful pre-lodgement review helps identify points issues, occupation problems, and gaps between EOI claims and the available records.

Whether the nominated occupation, skills assessment, and work history align clearly.
Whether the points claims appear supportable through age, English, education, and employment records.
Whether the Expression of Interest details match the evidence available for later invitation-stage use.
Whether the overall skilled migration strategy is realistic for an independent pathway without state nomination.
