Hey Everyone! Admin here, It's a bit overdue but I will be migrating our forum site to a new platform for better security. I will take out all the ads as well as these pesky spammers. Please expect a bit of issues here and there, and will slowly move the features to the new one. Don't worry we are very much alive and will be alive as long as I'm here :)

Need some suggestions

February 2025 in Working and skilled visas

Hello, I received a pre-invitation from South Australia based on 80 points, and today I submitted my state nomination application. However, I recently realized that I mistakenly claimed 5 extra points due to a misunderstanding about my degree. In my home country, a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) is considered a doctoral qualification, so I initially claimed 20 points. However, I have now become aware that in Australia, it may be classified as a master’s degree, making it eligible for only 15 points.

This confusion arose because I completed a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD), which is regarded as a PhD-level qualification in India. Additionally, the Australian immigration website does not provide an exact comparison for this qualification, which led to the misunderstanding. As a result, I unintentionally overclaimed 5 points in my EOI.

Can anyone please suggest what I should do?
