Summary - State Sponsorship Requirements in prep for Visa 176

lock_code2004 · April 2013

Hello! I'm new here in this forum...I have read several articles but still overwhelmed & confused. Thank you sa step by step procedure that you provided @lock_code2004. I have several questions if you don't mind though. I recently talked to a migration agent, hindi pa nman po kmi nagbayad but based on his assessment our occupations lists, we can meet the 60 pts daw po if we pass the required IELTS. (1) Can we directly apply for Visa 189?

He also said that we are qualified for State sponsorship. But mine is open now in ACT and my husband sa SA. We are in Sales / Retail / Customer Service Manager area. Unlike po ung mga professional occupation like doctors, dentist etc na pwede anywhere in Australia. (2) Can you provide the link of the assessing authority in our field. So we need to seek approval with them first before we can lodge for EOI? (3) How can we verify na pwede rin ung Occupations namin in other state aside from the one he mentioned?

Thanks

1. depending on your occupation.
- if your occupation is in SOL then you apply for 189.
- if your occupation is in CSOL Sched 2 you can only apply for 190.

here is the link of: http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/sol/
open the files SOL/CSOL and check your occupation

2. Your assessing agency can be checked also on the SOL/CSOL..

3. To check other states, you need to do it one by one (each state has its own State Nomination List - SNOL).. google nyo lang po ang mga website ng mga STate migration.. or check the start of this thread.. nandun ang websites..

Hello All,

Question lang po... For state sponsorship loding.. let say ang nominated occupation ko ay customer service manager, kailangan ung mga supporting evidence (website, post, links) ko na na job opening na nakikita ko sa state na yun eh talagang ang title ay Customer Service manager?

@plokie - sorry mejo magulo ang tanong mo... paki-ulit nga so that we may assist in your query.

cheers!!

plokie · May 2013

Hello..

Sorry... magulo ba?

kasi diba dun sa State sponsorship.. sabi dapat may at least 5 links or job openings na dapat maipakita ka na suitable sa job description mo? So normally magbabrowse ako nyan sa mga job portal like seek. So kailangan ba customer service manager ang title ng mga job na ipapepresent ko?

Mejo clearer now but honestly, it is my first time to hear about what you have written above as a requirement...

plokie · May 2013

eto kasi sabi eh...

Evidence that there are, currently, sufficient ACT employment opportunities in the nominated occupation that are relevant to your skill set and experience e.g.:
 for Canberra residents:
− employment contract and 2 recent payslips.
 for overseas residents:
− personal research into recent advertised positions relevant to the nominated occupation (a minimum of 5vacancies):
 You must provide a copy of the full advertisement. Web links and /or screen shots are not acceptable and, if provided, could result in refusal of the verification.

lock_code2004 · May 2013

@plokie - yes, that is a requirement for some SS..
try to find an exact match sa job title ng nominated occupation mo..
otherwise, pwede din nmn kung nakalagay na pareho ang job description pero ibang title..
kung 3 job postitngs ang requirement nila, give them 5 or 6.. para marami

plokie · May 2013

@lock_code2004 thanks a lot.... Iniisip ko na ayusin muna ulit ung job description ko para mabalik ako sa quality manager... Hehehe

Mas marami kasi open dun e...

@ep_ricablancajr - i suggest you read the thread "how to start my application"...

to answer your questions:
1. depende po yan kung IT related ang course nyo or not.. please check with ACS thread or directly to ACS website

2. visa 489 is 4 years validity and valid only for regional areas of the state that nominated you..

3. you need 55pts + SS visa 190 5pts = 60 pts.. ilan na ang points mo now? pwede naman kasing 55pts kana kahit wla kang points sa ielts..

Hi guys,

I would just like to ask regarding Subclass 190 State Sponsored PR Visa... I was given a state sponsored visa sponsored by Victoria State Government and we (me , wife and two kids) are obliged to stay and live in Victoria state for 2 yrs. I would just like to ask if when is the reckoning of the obligation to stay in the state for 2 yrs? And during the two yrs period, can we go back to the Philippines and go back to Australia again like vacation (we all know that PR visa allows us to go in and out in australia for 5 yrs with indefinite stay in australia)? And for how long could we stay outside victoria during the 2 yrs period? Please share your experiences... Do you have any personal experience/s for that matter? especially for the state sponsored migrants wish to hear from you guys. Thanks

Siopao23 · June 2013

Pag may student visa ka pwede ka rin ba ma sponsor ng employer mo? Is there such thing?

lock_code2004 · June 2013

@Siopao23 - you mean while studying, biglang nakahanap ka ng employer na willing mag sponsor ng working visa?

i think pwede naman... but i dont know about the restrictions of the visa, kung kailangan ba na off-shore ka pag na approve ang working visa.. meaning dapat umuwi ka muna...

@lock_code2004 i see may restrictions din pala pero ok lang umuwi as long as i-sponsor ako. Thanks sa info hirap kasi PT ako pero never practiced my profession. Either nasa field sales ako o customer service

lock_code2004 · June 2013

@Siopao23 = may restrictions ang mga visa...
ung ibang student visa/s may no further stay condition..
tpos ang new visa baka kailangan off-shore once visa is granted..
mga ganung restrictions..

Siopao23 · June 2013

@lock_code2004 thanks sa info. Dapat makarating muna ako australia and take it one step at atime

this is based on your signed agreement with the state:
1. work in live for two years in the state - this should be cumulative
2. you can stay outside of your nominating state, basta ang importante maka 2 yrs ka sa knila,

now based on what i've read here,
may mga state sponsored na hindi talga nag stay sa state nila, for some reasons (ex. walang mahanap na work...etc).. based sa mga experience nila, you can request the state to release you from that agreement and move to another state, provided you have valid reason/s..

now regarding your husband's work, i'd say go for it..pwede nmn po yun..
sa SA ka, tapos sa Melbourne sya.. pag wala ka talga mahanap na work sa SA, you can try yung suggestions ng iba..

please search for the thread about that "SS nominated not staying in their State"..

Within How many years mo dapat ma complete yung 2 years na moral obligation sa sponsoring state mo?

@kremits

Hi kremits and everyone,
I emailed the SA government to get a straight answer if I can stay in a different state for my 1st 6 mos, but relocate in Adelaide to fulfill my obligation as a SS after 6 mos. Told them yung company ko dito ay may office Sydney and they are willing to absorb me for 6 mos to help me gain local experience para madaling nang makahanap ng work sa Adelaide. Not sure if this applies to all states, but here's their response:

Dear Jamee

As a South Australian state nominated visa holder, you are expected to live in South Australia for two years from date of arrival and cannot initially live and work in Sydney for the first 6 months after arrival in Australia.

You signed a declaration in the course of your nomination application committing to migrating to and living in South Australia for at least two years. State Government Nomination is provided to meet skills needs in our State and the expectation is that successful applicants will bring their skills to South Australia. It is on this basis that Nomination approval is granted thereby facilitating visa grant by the Commonwealth Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC). Without this nomination you would not have been granted a visa.

In terms of finding suitable work, the first step is for you to utilise the services on offer in South Australia to assist you in finding employment. Details are listed below.

I recommend that you contact Skilled Migrant Services (Skills for All Infocentre) on 1800 506 266. Skilled Migrant Services is a free service offered to migrants which provides advice and assistance in regards to finding employment. They offer workshops on job seeking and individual consultations to migrants who are having difficulty finding work. They can also provide you with information on courses available. You can phone them or go in person to register at their office – see details below...

TAFESA also offer the Interlink program which is a five week course to assist skilled migrants with job seeking. For some occupations, there is also the option of a work placement. The Interlink program is free, however, if you are eligible for the work placement, there is a fee for the placement. You can contact TAFESA Adelaide to enquire about the application process for the Interlink program – details below...

@kremits
Based on the letter above, dapat daw ma-fulfill yung 2 year obligation FROM THE DATE OF ARRIVAL in Australia, which means... di yata pwede umalis or tumira sa ibang state. Not sure though if this will apply to all states. I suggest, you email the VIC local government. Baka sumagot. Di kasi ako risk-taker eh. Just want to be safe. he he he!

I've seen though that some forumers didn't follow. So baka naman pwede sa ibang state. Hope this helps!
