Dear Zuma, first of all, welcome to the group! As there is going to be a change to the rule in July, I guess your application will be post June 2011 in which you would have to follow the new rule to the letter. General points to consider before applying for FSW1 ( if this doesn't change with the new rule!) for FSW1:
1. You need to score 67 or more points in total in order to be eligible. Tahe eligibility test here:
