    Hi lifehouse28,

    Ask ko lang ano ba dapat and requirements ng state sponsorship sa IELTS? example sa NSW? at gaano katagal bago ma approve?

    Salamat...
    @heyits7me_mags ang state sponsorship po is not for a specific city, NSW po yung state sponsorship na inaplyan namin where Sydney is one of the city. you can still opt to live and work sa regional area ng NSW where the cost of living is lower. husband mo lang ba nagapply ng visa? tapos dependent ka nya?

    @icebreaker, Congratulations!...finally naalala ko pa sa kabilang forum naging hopeless ka sa IELTS dahil hindi mo makuha ang kelangan mong score and now you're halfway to your dream. Walang imposible sa taong matiyaga ika nga. Naikukwento lang po ang journey mo for others to keep their faith.

    @icebreaker1928, either way mas malaki chance mo makapasok na sa Australia kasi the fact na approved ang state sponsorship sayo mas marami nang visa options ang puwede mo tingnan bukod sa points tested :)congrats !

    @icebreaker1928 my mother got the letter from the post office and thank God positive yung result. Actually 1 week lang pala may result na sila upon acknowledging the receipt of our application since I also emailed NSW and they said they mailed it a week after they received the documents. Almost two weeks for mailing the result so yeah, almost 1 month din, pero mabilis pa rin. Eto na siguro ang iapply ko na SS kasi maximum three months pa abutin ng Victoria SS result ko at baka di naman positive so go na tayo for online application. Goodluck to us!

    Question po, sa sponsored visa; reason po ba na kumukuha nito tayo is because kulang ang points if 175 visa route ang kukunin? Kasi nagbasa ako kanina, although mas mabilis nag procesing niya, provisional visa siya and kailangan pa maghintay ng more than 1 year after working for the sponsoring state para makapag-apply ng permanent visa.

    i think you're referring to 475 visa....
    176 state sponsored is NOT a provisional visa, it is considered as permanent resident visa just like 175...

    ^ yeah it's confusing sometimes hehe...457 yung paborito ng immigration ngayon kasi may employer na yung applicant at temporary visa.

    Yung 176 kung may state sponsorship lang pero I think it's still points tested

    @icebreaker1928 yup pareho tayo andun din karamihan ng mga barkada ko sa NSW and also mas gusto ko yung weather sa NSW in Sydney in particular. Did you just receive 3 pages of documents? Isa kasi dun kailangan fill-up-an and mail back to NSW Trade and Investment. While the other one is yung last page ng Form 1 ng application form which will be attached in our DIAC application is this correct? I am starting to create a draft of my online application pero I always get locked out for some reason, yung password or ID is not recognizable anymore kinabukasan, not sure if you encounter the same problem.

    yup, 176 state sponsorship is still points tested...
    pero sir magkaiba pa rin ang 475 sa 457

    475 = state sponsor but REGIONAL AREA only
    457 = employer sponsored
