Common questions from Punjabi-speaking clients
The questions we hear most.
Ask for a Punjabi-speaking practitioner when you book.
My skills assessment deducted years for a post-experience qualification
Very common. TRA and VETASSESS often deduct years when a formal qualification was obtained after the work started. We review whether a review application is viable, recalculate points, and identify which states nominate at the lower score.
My employer wants to sponsor me but is not an approved sponsor
Happens a lot in hospitality, cleaning, trucking. The business needs to become an approved sponsor first. We handle the SBS application, nomination, and SID visa as a single package.
My 485 Graduate Visa is running out, what are my options?
Options depend on occupation, English, work experience in Australia, partner's situation, and willingness to move regionally. We map out realistic pathways and do not pretend there is always a straightforward answer.
Can ART hearings be conducted in Punjabi?
Hearing itself is in English, but the Tribunal provides an interpreter at no cost. We request the interpreter on your behalf and where possible ask for an interpreter with a Punjabi dialect that matches yours. We prepare you in Punjabi.
