    @lock_code2004 thank you for posting the link, averaging to 60 days na pala ang pinaka shortest period to process all applications for the state sponsorship, hayyss.. July 1 is coming near.

    Sa akin kasi medyo kukulangin sa 65 kaya gusto kung mag pa sponsor, ang taas ng IELTS mo sir ah, is it already considered 20 points for english proficiency, ask ko lang if ever i get same score pwede na kaya ako sa SC175 instead of SC176 visa para mapadali ang processing? salamat ulit.

    @Mario_Roxas - mabilis daw po ang WA.. check nyo dun kung nandun ang occupation nyo sa WA SOL.. online lang ang submission.. may bayad nga lang..

    For the IELTS, unfortunately, we need 8 pts in each section to get the 20pts.. hindi naman nila tinitingnan ang overall band.. ung individual section score ang tintingnan nila...

    so in my case, it is still 10pts dhil meron akong 7.5.. ;(

    @pingpong Hi! Based po kasi sa research ko e yung Mandurah ang usually na pinupuntahan kapag sa regional WA. Yung reason for this is because it is near Perth and may train from Mandurah to Perth. Pwede rin naman sa Bunbury Ito halos ang mga choices nila kapag regional area ang punta nila sa WA.

    @skyline Hi! Does this affect the processing times of 176 and 475 visas sponsored by WA? From what i have understood parang may impact din ata to sa visa processing. sa sobrang dami ata ng nag apply for SS sa WA natambakan na sila ng mga applications. WA kasi yung may marami pang available na occupations na pwede mag pa sponsor. Makakaapekto kaya to sa 475 visa ko na nalodge ko na last month? Hay wag naman sana. :(

    @cinnamon:Don't worry sis,pwedeng case to case basis din.I have read in other forum na nag submit March 21 pero after 8 days may result na.I think yung mga states may planning levels,siguro minsan kinoconsider yung type ng work mo at iba pang aspect.Don't stop hoping :)
    @k_mavs:Bro I think hindi kasama dito yung nakapaglodge na sa Diac.Baka yung 5 months na yan is maximum na for the next batch.Magkaka CO kana bro this week.konting wait na lang :)

    Hay sana nga po talaga magkaron na ko ng CO this month. Baka nagbigay lang siguro ng timeline para lang di na rin gaano mag expect yung mga applicants. Dati kasi wala silang binibigay na timeline kasi mabilis yung processing nila dati. Pero baka case to case basis din siguro talaga yung processing times ng mga applications.
