Which visa? fees explained?

Hello everyone!
Starting to look into visas for PR here in Australia, and there are some things i don't find clear enough on the visa website.

In short, my partner is a registered nurse (aged care) and I'd be classed as an agricultural Scientist - both on the skilled jobs list.

She has more experience than myself, and looking at the points table, with experience and superior english, she'd be raking in 70 points (189 visa), 75 points (190 visa) and potentially 5 more points if i can be deemed as skilled in this profession (<12 months work, hold a masters, 4+ years as a zoologoist, but i don't believe this would count, as it was all during my graduate time and not in a related class to ANZSCO code 2341-12).

So, being a nurse and having her AHPRA registration, this would be deemed suitable for a skills assessment.

Lodging either a 189 or 190 visa, would each cost $3755 for her as the main applicate, as we are welcome to submit EOI for either of these visas at any time.

When it comes to bringing myself in, i could be lodged with this application for an additional $1875 for either visa.

I see in the visa listings it states 'the second instalment charge for family members is AUD4,885'

so this additional second instalment is also the charge for myself, on top of being $1875 correct?

we are also looking at the 482 visa, so a shorter stay if PR doesn't come threw in time. I read somewhere she cannot be married upon first entry into the country?

Does this mean we cannot lodge an application for this visa if we are together?

Thanks everyone!

There is no cost of EOI so you can lodge as many EOIs as you can. The suggestion is to lodge one EOI per visa subclass.

When it comes to bringing myself in, i could be lodged with this application for an additional $1875 for either visa.

All the costs are related to the post-invitation visa application so primary would pay 3755 and each secondary will pay 1875 (18+)

I see in the visa listings it states 'the second instalment charge for family members is AUD4,885'

so this additional second instalment is also the charge for myself, on top of being $1875 correct?

No. This is the cost of English Language ability. If you fail to provide Functional English Ability , then you will be required to pay this fee, otherwise no.

she cannot be married upon first entry into the country?

This requirement is after getting the visa and before making the entry. The application can be lodged together for couples
