Yes, I graduated from an Australian uni which added a couple of points to my PR application.

My wife didn’t go through IELTS as I applied for a partner visa for her cause we weren’t married when I applied for my PR.

What's your overall total score?

I see. What about your points tested stream? I know 65 is the minimum but from my research rarely they'll touch anything below 75.

How long did it take for you to get approved from the initial application submission to the final approval letter?

Just over 4 months, but this was back in 2018.

Thanks.

Last question, since you've walked this path, if let's say I get approved, how much money should I expect to bring to settle down comfortably for the first 2 months?

Australia has no problem with dual citizenship...but Malaysia does not allow....

The tricky part is how you travel between the two....you can leave Australia with any passport, but you can only enter Australia with an Aussie passport....because you will not have an eligible visa on your Malaysian passport....

You can enter and leave Malaysia with the Aussie Passport, as long as they do NOT know you are Malaysian...You cannot enter and then leave with the Malaysian passport, because of the above....you need a valid visa to even check in....

The way out is to travel through a 3rd country that does NOT practice API with Malaysia....

What about entering and exiting with Malaysia passport
And then entering and exiting Australia with Aussie passport

Transit through Singapore, entry and exit with Aussie passport?

You're still Malaysian right. Being Malaysian doesn't mean you need to have a passport.

But if you've 2 passports. So enter and leave Malaysia aussie passport. Then enter leave aussie how.. Use what passport

Aussie passport only available for citizen. So you sendiri bocor if you use Aussie passport to enter Malaysia.
