    Reply to @LokiJr: Bigla akong napa-check sa Victoria website ah! Fortunately, hindi naman daw sabi dito.
    Processing of Victorian Government skilled sponsorship applications will continue uninterrupted, however the name of the application forms will be updated on 1 June 2012 on this site in anticipation of the changes to DIAC’s visa application process.
    Sana sa ibang state din. meron bang recently approved SS applicants dito?

    @bmc_cpu : for my case, naka-notarize lahat except the CV and payslips. Yung CV kasi wala naman talagang "original" copy yun since tayo lang din gumawa nun. Yung payslips ko naman ay computer-generated so prinint ko lang at di ko na pina-notarize.

    Hindi na ko nag-attach ng employment contracts. Based on the information in this link, the required "recent experience" for my nominated occupation which is Analyst Programmer is 3 years. Kaya ang ginawa ko, nagpadala na lang ako ng payslips ko for the last 3 years. Pero di ko pinadala lahat kasi sobrang dami. Nagpadala na lang ako ng one payslip for each quarter. Anyway, required naman ipadala ang COE/Employment References e, so additional supporting documents lang talaga yung payslips. It worked out okay naman po at di na sila humingi ng additional documents pa. :)

    @Metaform Sir ung SS acknowledgement nyo po ba sa timeline niyo approved na po un or acknowledgment lang? Sorry po sa tanong. Naghahanap po kasi ako ng mabilis na approval na SS lalo na hinahabol ko po ung before July 1.

    Sa forumers po, alin po ba ang may pinakamabilis na processing? Ang nakita ko po kasi na mabilis eh sa WA. Thanks po.

    Reply to @angel4ever: Acknowledgment pa lang yun na na-receive nila yung application ko. Ang estimated time of processing nila is 12 weeks, pero nung nag-follow up ako nag-reply naman sila with,
    Thank you for your email. The application is currently in the latter stages of assessment and we will have an outcome as soon as possible.
    Cross fingers and legs.

    So far may na-approve ang WA in as fast as two days. May isang forumer dito na-approve ng Victoria nang one month.

    Iba-iba po pala. naku, goodluck saken. Pwede pa po kaya mag-apply sa Victoria SS? Sa website kasi na binigay mo andun ung occupation ko (Urban and Regional Planner) and available naman daw po siya kaya lang po nka-adjust na yung site nila for SkillSelect, visa 190 na ung andun.

    Reply to @angel4ever: Mag-apply ka na rin ngayon sa Vic. Anyway, kung abutin ka man ng Skill Select, automatically invited naman kapag state-sponsored. O kaya malay mo madesisyunan before end of June.

    Reply to @angel4ever: Na-notice ko rin na muntik ka nang maka-20 points sa Language Skills. You may try applying for remarking. At least tataas ang points mo sa Skill Select kung sakali. Yun ang plan B ko. Lalabas ang remarking result ko hopefully by next month or sa August.

    Sabi kasi sa niner review center maliit ang chance na maapprove ang remarking. San niyo po nabasa na pag may state sponsorship automatic invitation sa Skill Select?
    Hinahabol ko po kasi yung before July 1 kasi nga hindi na sure kung maiinvite ka ba or hindi so bahala na lang kung saan makakuha ng SS. Pero kung sure naman po na mainvite bka hintayin ko na lang Skill Select. Malaking advantage po kasi sken kung sa NSW ako or Victoria. Nasa Sydney kasi relatives ko. Bka mahirapan po ako pag sa WA lalo na mag-isa lng ako magmigrate. Goodluck talaga! :)

    Reply to @angel4ever: According to the Skillselect website:
    Nomination by a state or territory government

    State and territory government agencies will have access to SkillSelect. If you are interested in being nominated by a state or territory government for this visa, you should indicate this in your EOI. If you are interested in a particular state you will have an option to indicate this state, or you may choose to be available to all states if you do not have a preference.

    If the state/territory government nominates you, you will automatically receive an invitation from SkillSelect to apply for a visa.

    Reply to @Metaform: That's good news. Although, unlike today tayo ang nag-aapply for SS. It seems like pagdating ng SkillSelect, hihintayin na lang natin inominate tayo ng state na pinili natin. Does this mean din kaya na walang ng bayad ang SS?

    Reply to @angel4ever: Depende rin sa state kung may bayad yung SS application. Dagdag income rin kasi sa kanila yun e. Hangga't wala pa yung July 2012 e hindi pa rin magiging clear yung mga guidelines for the skillselct. Waiting mode pa rin tayo. :D

    Reply to @angel4ever: If I understood correctly, Skill Select will be like a database for states from which they can choose candidates. In a way, posibleng mawala na rin yung separate application ng sponsorship dahil doon. That's just my theory.

    Suspension of State Sponsorship applications 12:00 pm Thursday 28 June 2012
    25 June 2012

    Due to the changes being implemented by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC), current arrangements for State Sponsorship are only valid to 30 June 2012. Skilled Migration Western Australia (SMWA) will be accepting applications until 12.00 pm Thursday 28 June 2012 so that applications for State Sponsorship can be finalised on Friday 29 June 2012.

    SMWA will re-open on Monday 2 July 2012.

    Intending applicants who currently have incomplete online applications for State Sponsorship will not be able to resume their application after 12:00 pm on Thursday 28 June. Applicants will be required to commence a new application when the program re-opens on Monday 2 July 2012.

    From 1 July applicants pursuing State Sponsorship with Western Australia will be required to submit an expression of interest under SkillSelect with DIAC in the first instance and then submit an application with SMWA.

    For more information about changes to the General Skilled Migration program, please contact DIAC on 131881.
