Just wanted to let everybody know that we got approved by WA skilled migration that we are free off with the 2 year obligation. I'm surprised na mabilis ang approval nila
Have a wonderful weekend ahead!

Ang tanong ko lang din, pwede ba magwork si wife sa Melbourne temporarily kahit na sponsored kami ng WA? Sa Melbourne kasi madami kaming relatives na pwede magassist sa kanya kapag wala ako at ung ibang kamaganak din ay maaaring makatulong sa kanya while searching for job dahil related sila ng work.
Thank you

Anyway, to answer all of your question, I will try my best to summarise para may benchmark kayo
1. What did you provide to the state when you requested to be free from 2 year obligation to stay... did they request anything before your approval?
- Don't get me wrong...if there is one area that I would so much love to stay, that will be Western Australia...nothing wrong with Sydney but i'm an outdoor person. Love ko ang WA kasi para siyang isang malaking playground, tubig sa kanan, big field sa kaliwa but I need to get a more permanent work
- I provided about 36 rejection letters (email) from all companies I applied for. Unfortunately mining is not doing well in the last quarter hence daming walang trabaho. I was lucky that I got a job after a month arriving but volunteer/casual work can only pay the bills but can't build a family. Tapos unfortunately they only local experience. The WA skilled migration will have 4 questions and you will be able to answer it easily
in th elo
2. ilang weeks bgo naibigay ang release?
- I lodged my letter 26 nov. It was released 8 Dec so mabilis siya
3. Magtatanong nrn po ako sa inyo kahit opinion lang.. How many months kaya (or weeks) ako pwedeng magstay temporarily in other states just to obtain that IED requirement before ako magstay permanently sa nominated state ko (2 years min in 4 years).. Balak ko sana pumunta muna ng Melbourne before WA.
No idea with IED requirements. Based from your story, you will stay muna sa Victoria dahil may kamaganak ka (kayo) and eventually move to WA. As for staying temporarily, walang restrictions. Ang obligation is for you to stay in your State sponsored area for 2 years upon entry. even if that was the case, you can stay muna sa ibang states bago sa SS. Make sure:
a. 2 years of 5 years PR Visa (I assume PR ka)
b. Register sa Skilled Migration once you are in your state sponsored area - in this case WA
4. Ang tanong ko lang din, pwede ba magwork si wife sa Melbourne temporarily kahit na sponsored kami ng WA?
Tama sinabi ni Tas Burfoot...no one is stopping you both..But take note, be mindful on what you do...ultimately ang goal niyo, natin lahat is to get the Citizen status. So by not following instructions or did not disclose might ultimately catch up on you in the long run.
If you want to know more, I suggest that you read the initial thread kasi doon nagsimula ang timetable ko at ano yung mga nangyari para "scientific" approach yung gagawin ninyo. Though di siya rocket science kasi madali lang talaga..especially if you have more than 30 rejection letters
Cheers and Happy New Year!

Share ko lang din recent experience ko since I'm in the same boat.
I'm holding a WA state sponsored visa. I arrived here in May (May 17 at 5 am ) ) and reported my arrival to WA on the same week. I concentrated my job applications here but medyo quiet kasi ang industry ko. After a month of job rejections, I tried sending my resume to other states too. Fortunately, nagka-offer ako sa Sydney so I asked for WA's consent to set me free.
They asked me 5 questions (why I am moving to another state, how long I've been in WA etc). Iyong content ng reply ko was along the lines of - I intended to live and settle here but walang opportunity. I included the emails from companies (same industry) telling me that mobility is quiet and there are no opportunities within the next few months. I also included the job offer email (di ko na sinama ang contract).
Mabilis naman sila nagreply. Nagrespond lang sila telling me that if I move to another state, I have to keep them updated of my contact details and to continue answering their surveys.
Hope this helps.

I also included a screenshot of 40+ rejection letters. Key is - be transparent lang sa experiences niyo sa job hunt. At the end of the day goal din nila ang maka-settle tayo ng maayos.

so when you started applying in another state, di ba sila nagtatanong if may obligation ka upon advising them na naka-190 visa? so it means other state doesn't care about your obligation sa sponsoring state as long as you are eligible to work in another state thru PR visa
@RepotSirc, may nabalitaan ka na ba na from SA na on similar situation?

We arrived in SA first week of April. Look for jobs (including odd jobs) until June. No luck there. Almost 50 unsuccessful applications. I decided to email Migration SA to explain our situation (unsuccessful applications and financial status). I have attached copies of our "rejection" letters from companies we have applied for. The next day we received a reply from migration SA reminding us of our moral obligation and they cannot provide me with an official consent to move to other state. But they appreciate my decision to take a position interstate rather than be unemployed. They expect us to continue to look for work in SA, once I have gained some work experience interstate.
We moved in QLD last July and somehow obtained work. We still do apply jobs in SA. We would love to be back in SA and serve the 2 year moral obligation. We plan to move back in SA before the 5 year validity of our visa and applying citizenship.
