State / Regional sponsorship - what documents? (176 route)

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Think I'm starting to get the hang of this thanks to all the help everyone on PP has provided so far!

 

My question now is.......

 

The next stage for us will be state sponsorship - what information / documents do I need to be digging out for this stage (as I have trawled through DIAC and WA migration webs and cannot find this info anywhere!)

 

For the visa application (which follows after) I know need the following documents;

1. Evidence of age

2. Valid passport and certified copy of bio data page

3. IELTs

4. Skills assessment

5. Skilled employment history / experience

6. Qualifications evidence

7. State / territory sponsorship

8. Medical

9. Police check

10. Birth certificate

11. Marriage certificate

12. Decree absolute

13. Two recent passport photos

 

HELP, pretty please with cherries on top :arghh:

Hi PomPom,

Your Migration Agent should be able to send you a check list of all the documents they require for your application as sometimes we require more than the standard checklist to be able to present a solid case, depending on your circumstances.

This will be a starting point for you though

Remember you are paying your agent to guide you though, so dont be afraid to ask for their assistance, that is what they are there for!

Good luck

This is where I am slightly frustrated as my Agent doesn't want to tell me what to collate for the next stage until we have received my OH's General IELTs results. I can understand from her perspective but I am also concious of 1st July. It seems pointless me sitting here twiddling my thumbs when I could be getting on with something! I have just read your link, thank you so very much for this. I now know what I can be getting on with for now and I need to call my solicitor friend and get her to certify a number of documents.... this will keep me occupied for a bit. IELTs results come out this Friday - fingers crossed.

You are welcome Pom Pom, the mre organised you are the quicker you should be able to lodge! I hassle my guys for all their docs as soon as they sign up with me as I hate leaving things to the last minute! Have you checked that the assessing body is guaranteeing your assessment back before 1st July as now many of the bodies are saying they wont be able to complete them before July???

ICA is a great one as they do a 5 day skills assessment so if you are an accountant you are fine!!!

Hope you score well on your IELTS!! Let us all know, hopefully 8.5's all over!

Bloody hell, maybe in hindsight I should have used you. So pleased about ICAA, as my OH is a qualified accountant and that is who the skills assessment has been sent of to (sent last Friday by courier from the agent aparently). So am I assuming that we could hear back from them by the end of this week at the same time as we get our IELTs results - that would be fantastic!!

Chandi, great news! My oh got 8.5, 9.0, 9.0, 9.0. A fantastic result, I am so proud of him.

 

New life down under, yes we paid the extra through a migration agent. Skills assessment submitted last Friday, they came back to the agent with a query Wednesday. Agent responded Thursday, nothing back today so guess it'll be Tuesday at the earliest before we hear anything. It's so frustrating when it's out of your control.

Hi Chandi, I assume nagging the migration agent is the norm? On the other hand I don't want to piss them off, but guess I've got to think of us and what's in our interest. Thanks again for keeping in touch. Until the next episode LOL!
