State-Sponsored by one state but chose to live & work in another State

brent

Was wondering if any of you guys chose to live & work in a state other than the one which sponsored you, without fulfilling the 2-year "Obligation" as required by the Sponsoring state? Did you encounter any problems when transacting with Govt agencies, or when applying for AU citizenship afterwards?

Post your experiences / tips here!

@brent sI @paris_hipon dapat ata sumagot nito kse I know yun yung balak nya... Probably most people will do the 2 year first... I will, kse pumirma ako at baka may legal implications kse. 2 years lang naman ilang kembot lang yun! 🙂

Some say it is more of a moral obligation than a legal one. Pero since some states require some sort of signed declaration, delikado na dahil nasa black and white na.

@Metaform Ako kasi nag-sign din ng agrement na yan e, kaya medyo tagilid. Hehe... Although nabasa ko sa FAQs na pwde naman daw mag request sa sponsor state ng release dun sa agreement. Anyway po, thanks for your advise, i think may dahilan ba't ako naapprove sa WA kaya push ko p rin dun.

@Aiwink yup may nadaanan nga akong discussion n c paris_hipon ang main topic, kaya ayun sumangguni din ako sa knya. Hehe...

Thanks po & cheers!!!

huyyy wag mu naman ako ibuking shhh!!

nyahahhaha joke lang. As spoken on our pm also for the info for other readers, just check pomsinoz.com madami silang thread about this. Debates and stuff. But after you read the posts there, bottom line, its ok to work in another state as its not a prerequisite in applying for your citizenship.

I havent contacted my ss and havent told them im working in nsw. Im thinking just not to contact them, if they contact me I will reply but if they dont I wont. So far they havent contacted me yet. I dont think they check every single person who got the ss about when they will arrive in australia, or if they have arrived in aus. I dont know, I just think they dont do that in my intuition.

You are right. Its better to follow your state sponsorship. 2 yrs nga lang at ilang kembot. But as long as you are sure that you will get a job there. I took 2 weeks before I got a job in Sydney ( I was just blessed I think), I applied for call center agent, housecleaner, admin assistant, cad draftsman, interior designer. By experience, it is hard to FIND a job here. I had 6 interviews, 5 is fail, I got hired in a design company since my house is like 15 mins away from it so I think that was the biggest factor why I got hired.

Just make sure you will get a job on your state sponsorship. A job you like and you can do. When I went in the interviews, a lot of people from all over the world were like jobless for 2 months or more and looking for a job here. A lot of people from euro, south america are here looking for job in Sydney so its quite hard also to find a job.

I dont mind staying in South aus my ss, but my main concern is I think i cant get a job there since theres only 1 or 2 job openings there in seek.com and mostly when I apply they dont reply. So in short, thats the reason why i went in nsw since theres more job opportunities here and I dont think I can do other jobs like hotel cleaners and other manual job mejo maarts kase ko hehe.

Thats just my advise, as long as you can get a job you like in your ss, then stay there. And if you cant find a job there then find another state. If your jobless but yer staing in your ss whats the point???

Its still up to you to decide to follow it or not. Cheers!

Hi paris_hipon thanks for posting this info. This is very helpful. I'm going to NT my SS next year. Dun kasi pwede yung IELTS score ko. Medyo konti nga ang IT opportunity sa NT so I'm also planning to move to other state. But I will still try to find a job there, if after a month or two wala pa rin, move na po ako sa iba.

Minsan kasi akala natin kaya tayo na-approved kasi para dun tayo, pero baka way lang yun para makarating tayo sa AU, then meron pa palang mas magandang opportunity sa ibang state na naghihintay sa tin.

Hi advise ko lang hanggat maari pilitin pa rin makakita ng work kung saan state kayo sponsored. Mag paalam muna kung papayagan ng DIAC na lumipat at kung nakalipat inform agad ang DIAC para di maka epekto in the future kung sakali mag apply ng citizenship. cheers

@paris_hipon & @TotoyOZresident thanks po sa mga advise nyo. Well noted & priceless tips indeed. =)

just in case po makatulong sa iba na may kaparehong dilemma, eto po yung galing sa website ng WA (i'm not sure kung same lang ang ruling pagdating sa ibang states):

<u>http://www.migration.wa.gov.au/skilledmigration/Pages/Frequentquestionsaboutstatesponsorship.aspx</u>

<i>Q: Am I able to relocate to another state even though I have not resided in Western Australia for two years post visa grant and what is the course of action for the applicant?

By accepting State sponsorship you made a commitment to live and work in Western Australia for a period of two years and signed an agreement with the Government of Western Australia to do so. Applicants who request to relocate to another state will need to apply for release from their signed agreement through Skilled Migration WA. </i>

Happy New year guys.

Sa mga palipad pa lang, next year will be our Aussie year!

Cheers po & Good Luck sa lahat!

Hi guys!

Just to share.

State sponsored din ako in Vic. Done with my 2 years. they sent me survey or info forms through email hanggang matapos yun 2 years. Siguro naka 5 or 6 na send. i have to state my address, work, company. If I remember it right, nasa email nila na it's an obligation to reply or answer the sent form as part of the sponsorship, kasi nakalimutan ko once.

And meron din ko 2 friends na state sponsored din in Vic but sa ibang state sila pumunta. No emails were sent to them by the Vic govt. Siguro random lang sya.

Hope this helps. 🙂

hindi kaya dahil di nila ininform ang State of Victoria na dumating na sila ng oz? hehe

thanks po sa mga info! happy new year! 🙂

happy new year to all! 😃

kami rin may SS from SA at ako ung main applicant. willing naman ako mg-comply sa two-year obligation pero ang worry ko ay ang number of available jobs sa SA.

kaya napaisip kami na si mrs at anak namin dun kaya mg-stay sa tiyahin ni mrs sa NSW habang ako sa SA.

Baka sakali matagalan ako makahanap ng work sa SA, si mrs mas maraming job opportunities sa Sydney plus ung anak namin pwd maiwan sa tita nya.

may nakagawa naba nito? ung two-year obligation dapat ba whole family ang mg-comply or pwd na ung main applicant lng?

Metaform

@hotshot yes it is the migrant's responsibility to inform the sponsor state of his arrival. After a week ko dito tsala ko lang naalala to inform vic smp, then saka nila sinend first of the five surveys.

Eto rin nasa isip ko, sa relatives ko muna ako sa NSW habang naghahanap ng work sa Perth / WA para makabawas naman sa gastos on accommodation. Then kapag meron na makitang work saka na lang punta ng WA. But I plan to work sa NSW para maka-ipon din. Ok lang kaya yun?

Meron na kaya nagpaalam sa State to release from sign agreement and na-grant?

Sana may makatulong dito sa forums. 🙁
