@heyits7me_mags: If you're referring to their occupation list, here's what is posted on their website. They claim that this is updated every month 🙂

@rainbowcoffee, thnks! wala pa rin sa list yung Analyst Programmer na nominated job namin hindi pwede mag SS kami dun, ICT Bus. Analyst lang meron. 🙁

@heyits7me_mags Analyst Programmer is included in the VIC SS Occupation list. I heard there's no fee collected for VIC sponsorship. Here's the link: http://www.liveinvictoria.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/225920/State-Sponsorship-Occupation-List-for-Victoria-2011-12.pdf

@rainbowcoffee, meron nga sa Vic pero tagal ng result 12wks., pero try rin namin kasi malapit na validity date ng ACS Skills assessment namin 17 May. Sa NSW kasi 3-4wks. lang pero may fee AUD300. SALAMAT! ha sa research sa Vic. Yung SS application sa WA madali lang yung basta follow mo lang guidelines kasi meron me friend na grant ng SS dun ganun lang din ginawa nya.

Yup. Sabi nga daw WA lately may pinakamabilis na processing. Hope it would stay that way until July 2012. Still waiting for my assessment then will take IELTS pa.

@rainbowcoffee, anong assessing body ka nagpapa assessed, pwede ka ng kumuha ng IELTS or kung kelangan mo mag take review pwede na rin, hindi ka nagmamadali for July 1, 2012?

rainbowcoffee

@heyits7me_mags: VETASSESS. I already submitted my application but it seems that results are coming out 12-16 weeks on the average. I am looking into taking IELTS by March. Nagmamadali po 🙂 but I need the WA State Sponsorship kase yung nominated occupation ko is in SOL Sched 2. Im really crossing my fingers that WA State Sponsorship takes only less than a month. Yung WA questionnaire daw kase needs reasearch so Im hoping may makapagshare dito para maprepare ko na lahat. Hehe

rainbowcoffee

Hi guys! I applied for a SS on WA for a 475 regional sponsored (state) as a ASCO: 263311, Occupation: Telecommunications engineer (263311). My agent lodged my application last Dec. 21, 2011 at was approved the day after Dec, 22, 2011. One day processing lang yung sakin. Validity of the sponsorship is 3 months upon notifying you of the results. kulang kasi ako ng points for a 175/176 visa kaya 475 na lang ang option ko. Ayoko na kasi mag retake pa ng ielts saka medyo parating na naman ang July 2012 kailangan na magmadali. =)

@k_mavs: Congrats on your WA Sponsorship! 🙂 Wow ambilis! Would you still remember yun questions sa sponsorship? Anong mga documents yun mga nirequire for the SS? 🙂

katie0499

@rainbowcoffee,

pwede mo naman simulang filupan yung WA SS form.

naalala ko sa questions are:

1) papapiliin ka ng regions in WA except perth, tapos justify mo why do you decide to pick those regions

2) cost of living

3) any people you know in Australia (be careful with this one, i discourage placing any name from other state kase it would be negative to them in a way dahil they might think that you'll prefer to stay in that state because of your ties to that person)

Documents: the usual lang Assessment + ACS + education docs + employment docs + passport + birth certificate..

WA does not require proof of funds although you have to enter a specific amount.

20k is ok for single + 10k for every dependent.. syempre wag mo saktohin yung value diba?

rainbowcoffee

@katie0499: Thanks for the info 🙂 Is it possible to download the WA SS form? Wala pa kase ko ng assessment and IELTS and Im not expecting to receive them any time soon. Im just hoping I could prepare my answers in advance so I can submit my application as soon as I have the required docs with me. I heard that their questionnaire requires lots of research daw.

katie0499

@rainbowcoffee if you are interested with the details. you can fillup the online form naman. you can just input dummy data dun sa parts where they ask for assessment and IELTS details..

ganun kase ginawa ako kase atat ako.. at least pag dumating na yung mga kelangan mo, babalikan mo na lang yung online form diba? at least you get the first had experience sa pagfifill up.. madami dami din yun, so better start now

rainbowcoffee

@katie: Wala ba yun expiration? Like sa mga application with assessing authority and DIAC na you have to complete them within certain number of days. If ever I started to fill up online now pero yun mga documents Im expecting them towards the end of April pa. Okay lang kaya? Thanks! 🙂

k_mavs

@ rainbowcoffee: Katie is right. You can make a dummy account just to be familiarized with the questions in the SS application. And dami kasi ng mga tanong eh. =)

rainbowcoffee

@k_mavs: Thanks for the info. I better start preparing for those questions 🙂
