    Guys, question.

    Is it true that the process of VIC SS can take up to twelve weeks to be processed? Based on your experiences, how long did it take for you to have the result? Approved or Not Approved.

    Thanks!

    @cgm, refer to the latest announcement from Skillselect - starting March 2014 'State and territory nominated visas will no longer be subject to occupational ceiling limitations'

    so in terms of limit - yes, SS is independent of the occupation ceiling :)

    @mann opo. kinakabahan kasi ako. hehe... last invite sa 189, yung occupation code ko ay 70 points yung cut-off.

    i both submitted 189 and 190. Had 60 pts for 189 at 65 pts for 190. praying hard na marinig ni Lord yung dasal namin.

    Make sure lang po na nakafocus kayo sa Vic and not on any other state lalo kun may friends or relatives kayo na nasa ibang state, better NOT mention about it. :-)

    Since declared naman na may friends and work experience husband mo sa other state, u can use that din as a comparison galingan mo na lang mambola. hehe... Kidding aside, try to highlight yung factors bakit Victoria napili nio, write something specific na pag binasa ng case officer e mafifeel nia na genuine ung intention nio at indi mo lang sia gagamitin to get additional 5 points then later on sa ibang state ka namn pala titira kung asan mga friends nio

    sa first few steps sa eoi you need to check 189 and 190 visa ang gusto mo applyan. then i think meron lalabas na state nomination na drop menu.

    Guys, question.

    Is it true that the process of VIC SS can take up to twelve weeks to be processed? Based on your experiences, how long did it take for you to have the result? Approved or Not Approved.

    Thanks!
    2 weeks for my case :)

    @cavalier18 sa email sa akin it said up to 12 weeks.

    my occupation is 261111 ict business analyst. parang medyo mahirap ma.invite ngayon kasi about 100 slots na lang remaining until july. my question, yung state sponsorship ba ay indepedent ba sa occupation ceiling pag.assess? ano po basis nila, yung demand ba ng occupation? thanks
    ang alam ko inalis na yung ceiling for state sponsorship. so yung remaining ceiling for this year ay for 189 na lang.

    sabay mo marereceive yung invitation for 190 at yung result ng nomination kung successful ka. kaya ok lang na 2 yung application mo, kasi automatic naman na maclose yung isa kung mag lodge ka na ng visa application. may cases na pwede ka ma invite sa 2 :)

     Why you do not want to live in the other states/territories you have visited

    @rooroo @cgm salamat sir sa clarification. just recieved an email today from VIC SS, now looking for sample and reference.

    In order to finalise your application, you are required to provide a written statement (via email)
    explaining why you would like to live and work in Victoria. In your statement you should address:

     Why you have not visited Victoria on your previous trip/s to Australia
     Why you would prefer to live in Victoria instead of the other states/territories you have visited
     Why you do not want to live in the other states/territories you have visited
     Your professional prospects in Victoria compared to the other states/territories
    may ganito na pala ngayon. goodluck. :)
    Oo nga, buti hindi natin naabutan toh @rooroo
