Hi Guys,

I applied to a Skills Assessment with ACS as 261211 - Multimedia Specialist for 485 visa, which was successfully approved.

The ACS Website approves 261211 - Multimedia Specialist to be assessed for 485 Graduated visa. Even the information says that 485 applicants should applied for the occupations on the list on the top where this occupation is. See the link

https://www.acs.org.au/content/dam/acs/acs-skills/ANZSCO Code Information - 2017 V4.pdf

However, when accessing the information on the immigration website, the 261211 - Multimedia Specialist doesn't show the 485 visa as option. See link:

Combined current list of eligible skilled occupations

So I don't know if I should apply for that visa with that occupation approved as I'm afraid that it might be refused.

If anyone can help me with this that would be amazing as my choices are reduced now.

Thanks.

Hello,

From my understanding is the list of required occupations change from time to time and that is updated on the website. Your best bet is to contact the embassy/consulate in your area or the immigration dept.
