    @maiSG03 you dont need to have a relative in SA if applying for state sponsorship unless your occupation is in their "special category" or supplementary list. If under special category or supplementary list, you either have to have high points, studied in SA, chain migration (family memeber in SA) or currently working in SA.

    South Australia offers a lot of occupation in their skills list that is why it is attractive for people who wants to come over to oz. As to job, SA is a small state so don't expect too much. I agree to other posts here, it depends on the applicant if he/she wants a fancy job then it will be difficult to find one especially for new migrants. Anywhere in oz, local experience is important so I guess the technique is to get your first break in an oz company (even casual or temp jobs) and establish a local work experience.

    489 sa akin @ethelmariz pero wala namang pinagkaiba ang docs sa 489/190 visa for state/territory sponsorship pareha lahat sa SA na state. Ielts, positive skills assessment, passport namin tatlo, coe payslip at ibang pang proof of employment.. sa mga high points and chain migration applicants di ko alam ang mga additional docs. Meron naman list of docs na makikita mo sa site nila. ^^

    @ethelmariz since the changes in skills list last april 19, SA had to remove a lot on their state skills list hence the processing times have improved significantly. they use to proces SA state applic 4-6 weeks but now its around 1 week. best of luck!

    Hi Everyone,

    Question po. Yung ICT occupation like System Analyst 261112. Need po ba dapat na ang minimum points is 70 points (kasama na yung SA SS na +5)? Currently nasa 60 po kasi yung points ko without SS. Allowed po ba ako na mag apply for SA SS? Thanks sa sagot po. :)

    @coachella9 if you have 60 points now, apply for 489 visa in adelaide to give you 10 points for state sponsorship. 60 + 10 SS = 70 points then you can lodge your state application. adelaide process SS very very quick at this stage

    @maiSG03 if you have the required docs for state sponsorship and you have your EOI number, lodge you state sponsorship application ASAP.

    Adelaide state immigration is closing its application system on June 29 in anticipation of changes in SOL and migration rules. Be on the safe side, again, lodge your state sponsorship application ASAP coz they may change the rules again.

    From Adelaide State migration website:

    Immigration SA’s application system will close at 3pm (ACST) on Thursday 29 June 2017 and will re-open at 12pm (ACST) on Tuesday 4 July 2017.

    This closure affects all existing or new applications for Skilled, Employer Sponsored and Business migration.

    Skilled Migration
    The re-opening of the application system on Tuesday 4 July will coincide with the release of the updated State Nominated Occupation List (SNOL) for 2017/18. The update of the SNOL is an annual process undertaken by Immigration SA to manage participation in the national migration program.

    As per the current SNOL, certain occupations will not be able to access state nomination for the subclass 190 visa and are therefore restricted to the subclass 489 visa. This reflects both restrictions put in place by the Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) in defining ‘regional occupations’ and further considerations by Immigration SA. Immigration SA will also restrict offshore applicants for certain additional occupations to state nomination for the subclass 489 visa.

    DIBP has also advised that the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) will be revised on 1 July. As the STSOL forms the basis for the SNOL, Immigration SA will need to take into consideration any changes that may occur. Depending on when DIBP advise of any changes, the SNOL (and Supplementary Skilled List) may need to be further amended following its release on 4 July.

    Applications submitted before 3pm (ACST) on Thursday 29 June will be assessed according to the current SNOL, and Immigration SA will endeavour to finalise these applications in SkillSelect so that they are not affected by any subsequent DIBP changes. The ability to do this will depend on volumes received and we encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible to facilitate processing prior to 1 July.

    Note: Any Skilled Migration application that has not been submitted before 3pm (ACST) on Thursday 29 June will be deleted from the system and will not be able to be accessed again.

    @Au_Vic nakareceive kami agad yesterday ng invitation from SA. sobrang bilis kasi Friday night lng kami ng pasa ng State Nomi application.

    Ngaun medyo taranta kami. hehe.. ako ung dependent ni hubby.. tanong ko lng ung fuctional english nakalagay at least one of the following. So ito ung pwede sakin kasi wala akong IELTS and PTE

    "Completed a degree, a higher degree, a diploma or a trade certificate that required at least two years of full-time study or training in an institution in or outside Australia and all instructions were in English."

    So anong supporting doc ang needed? ung diploma ko lng ba or need pa humingi ng letter sa University? kulang na kasi kami sa oras kung mg ielts or PTe pa plus extra gastos din..

    Kung meron ibang may alam appreciate your help din kasi 60 days lng binigay to lodge.

    Thank you in advance!

    @maiSG03 That's so quick 1 day processing! Good news and congrats in advance! Napaka-efficient talaga ng adelaide to process state migration. They did the same nung may changes sa SOL nung April 18, they stayed late that night to process ung application nung mga affected occupations to give them a chance.

    Ask for a certification from your university using the official letterhead stating that ALL instructions were in English. Isama mo din ung diploma mo to show na you have finished a degree.

    Best of luck. Soon you will be making the big move in land down under

    @maiSG03 no worries! you can request it from your school but I will suggest you should draft the letter to ensure the key words are there (e.g. all, or 100% in english).

    enjoy Adelaide!
