Sophie2806 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Hello ? My partner and I are looking to move to Perth in January from the UK. My partner has worked as a chef for 12 years and has been a head chef for the last 12 months. We are looking to come over on the 190 state nominated visa. Chris doesn't have any qualifications as a chef, so we think vetaccess might be a little risky, so we are looking into chris doing a RPL (recognised prior learning) which could turn his skills into a recognised qualification in Australia; a iv commercial cookery. Has anyone done this before? Or know if the RPL could work for obtaining the visa? Or has anyone done a skills assessment for an unqualified but experienced chef ??? I would be really grateful for any advice?. I keep getting told, and reading different things and my hopes keep yoyo-ing ? thanks, Sophie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I can't help with getting recognised but are you aware chef is schedule 2 on the WA list? This is means that in order to get state sponsorship he would need to obtain a job offer with a contract valid for at least 12 months.

Sophie2806 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Hi, thanks for the reply. Ive been doing research and haven't found anything that says this. I've also spoken to several agents and again no one has mentioned this. Are you positive that's the case? he will be nominated by the state of perth on the 190.

verystormy Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Yes. Look at the link below and see page three http://www.migration.wa.gov.au/SiteCollectionDocuments/skilled_migration_criteria_2014-2015%20%283%29.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophie2806 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Yes. Look at the link below and see page three http://www.migration.wa.gov.au/SiteCollectionDocuments/skilled_migration_criteria_2014-2015%20%283%29.pdf Thanks for the info! We will hopefully be over on a WHV while the application goes through, after doing the skills assessment and IELTS in uk. So hopefully the job offer won't be an issue and he can get one easily enough from Perth. Thanks Sophie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophie2806 Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Yes. Look at the link below and see page three http://www.migration.wa.gov.au/SiteCollectionDocuments/skilled_migration_criteria_2014-2015%20%283%29.pdf Thank you! So ive been told by an agent that he could be nominated by New South Wales as it will be much easier and chefs are more in demand, but can live in Perth. Is that correct? It seems wrong....

Sophie2806 Posted July 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Thanks for the info! I've been advised by an agent to apply for nsw but live in perth do you know if this is allowed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 On a 190 yes - there is only a moral obligation to live in the sponsoring state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
