Hi Team,

Hope you are doing great.

I am asking this question on behalf of my friend who want to understand how the new rules which kick in from November 2019 affect him.

My friend currently has 75 points for 189 visa. His wife passed away last year and he has a daughter aged 12.

Would he be considered as a single applicant and be awarded 10 points when the new rules come to effect even though he as a dependent family member(daughter) in his application?

I see that he can either get 10 points for being "single" or 0 points if treated as "any other case" based on the below table.

10 points – if you are single
10 points – if you have a partner who is an Australian citizen or Permanent resident
10 points – if partner has an acceptable skills assessment and competent English
05 points – if your partner has competent English
00 points – any other case


Thanks.

Does this mean you get 10 for partner skills + 05 for partner having competent English? so 15 points extra or can we opt for only 1?

No. You get to claim points for only one of the categories mentioned in that list.
It works like this:
If you have a skilled partner and they have competent English then you get 10 points.
If your partner doesn't have the required skills assessment but have competent English then you get 5 points. etc.

I haven't gone through the details of the new rule yet, but in general, the term "single" means you don't have a partner - shouldn't have anything to do with having a child.
 
Consider before posting:
  • Do not post the same thing in multiple places.
  • No personal contact and/or non-English phrase is allowed.
  • Always post in a relevant thread or open a new one.
  • Better to use the reactions in a post to congratulate/thank.
