Work Experience & Immigration Lawyers

[snowiscool]

G'day everyone.

Just joined this minute as I received notification from an Immigration Lawyer saying I was eligible to apply for a Skilled Worker Visa even though on my calculations I am a few points under the requirements. 

Which brings me to the next question.  Can I count work experience from more than 10 years ago!  I didn't think I could but problem is most of my time in the last 10 years has been spent at University (which I realise I get points for) but I need more points for work experience.

So any ideas on:

(a) are the Immigration Lawyers full of it - should I use one?

(b)  can I count work experience no matter how long ago it was?

oh, and (c) if I'm from a ESB do I have to sit the test to prove proficiency AND

(d) if I claim 'basic' in French do I have to do some test for that as well?

I could probably go right to (z) but I'll save some for later

1.  It would appear that your lawyer may be full of it,
"Minimum requirements
For your application to be considered, you must show you have the necessary funds and meet the minimum
requirement of at least one year of full-time (or full-time equivalent), paid work experience. This experience
must:
• have occurred in the past 10 years
• be in Skill Type 0 or Skill Level A or B of the National Occupation Classification (NOC)"
2.  What is ESB?  If your mother tongue is not english, then you need to take the IELTS, for points in French you must take the TEF.

For English ,you have to give IELTS,For french you have to give TEF to claim the points under language proficiency.
I could probably go right to (z) but I'll save some for later

I agree according to the immigration lawyer that it was eligible to apply for a Skilled Worker Visa even though on  their calculations.

If I were you, I'll choose to have an immigration lawyer to help me for my papers. You don't have to worry about your working experience as long as you can still remember what you are doing to that kind of work. Perhaps, you will learn more if you do that again.
