The process for obtaining State nomination is as follows:
1. Submit an eligible expression of interest (EOI) in the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) SkillSelect database.
For your EOI to be eligible you must meet all the following criteria:
Score at least 60 for the DIBP points test. This includes the points for State nomination which are automatically included in your EOI:
o five points for the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190); and
o ten points for the Skilled Regional (provisional) visa
(subclass 489).
Have evidence of a skills assessment suitable for permanent migration in your nominated occupation.
Have an available nominated occupation on the Western Australian skilled migration occupation list schedule 1 or 2 (WASMOL).
Have demonstrated at least competent English language skills through an approved English test.* If you have a passport from the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, the United States of America or Ireland you are not required to sit an English exam.
Be younger than 50 years of age.
Have at least one year of work experience within Australia or three years of work experience overseas within the last ten years in your nominated or closely related occupation.
Have selected ‘Western Australia’ or ‘any State or territory’ as your preferred State.

Sana po may makatulong at makasagot sa aking katanungan
Here's the case, I'm currently waiting for the result of my assessment from Vetassess.
Medyo confident naman po ako sa positive result kasi Bachelor graduate naman po saka 11yrs experience with the same company until now and my work is same as my nominated occupation (Civil Engineering Draftsperson). Pasado na din po sa IELTS, although on process pa yung remarking ko para makakuha sana ng 7.0 sa writing hehehe. Base on that, self assessment ko and kung maging positive ang assessment ko, qualified na ako for state sponsorship here's my self assessment points:
Age : 32 - 30pts
IELTS : 0pts (Hoping for positive remarking para makakuha ng 10pts)
Job Experience : 15pts
Education : 10pts (Hoping maging 15 kung same sa Bachelor level ng Australia)
Base on that my minimum points will be 55 plus the 5pts for the State Sponsorship para umabot sa minimum 60pts.
I need a recommendation and suggestion from you guys and gals
My wife is currently pregnant now, 4 months, can i still include her in my application when I lodge my EOI? or shall i wait for her to give birth before i lodge my EOI? Based on what i read on the site, there will be a delay on the medical given that my wife is pregnant, in case we are invited, will the DIAC give us enough time to provide the medicals? And there will be any issues when it comes to the State Sponsorship? Also how can we include our future baby on our application?
Any help regarding this matter will be very much appreciated. I know it's too early to ask about this but we don't want this to be a problem in the long run. Hope someone can enlighten us with our questions
Salamat!!!!
