StudentInDebt Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Hi there, Been granted state sponsorship and have started filling in the 176 application form. Some of the questions ask for the names of various government departments but the drop downs on the e-form don't have the exact names I have on my paperwork. For example the question about being state nominated, the drop down has the "WA - State Migration Centre - Small Business Development Corporation" amongst others but my email says Department of Workforce Training and Development. Similarly we both have ETAs that were issued by the Tasmania State Office but the closest I can find is the Hobart Regional Office. The DIAC email query system doesn't support free-text answers so before I call them at some suitable time in the morning does anyone know if this will cause a problem with my application or do they accept the closest answer?

StudentInDebt Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Spoke to DIAC, they referred me back to the WA state migration team. They (very quickly) emailed to say that DIAC don't have the latest department codes loaded on their systems and choosing the SMC - Small business option will get the application to the right people. Just got to wait for my newborn's passport to come through and we can fire off the application Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
