    Hello po. Hoping someone can clarify one of the additional requirements for WA State sponsorship for me...

    In which part of my application process do I need to provide an employment contract? When submitting EOI? After receiving WA state nomination? After ITA? When lodging visa?

    Sorry... just so confused...

    TIA

    @carrotcake hi normally pag meron kna ITA you will be given 60 days to lodge your visa application. Dapat by the time na mag lodge ka complete docs ka na para sure grant. Pag nag submit ka ng kulang kulang ma delay process ng visa mo. Pag kulang ka ng docs kokontakin ka ng CO mo then hihingin yung lacking item then meron time limit na ibibigay sayo ang CO na dapat ma submit mo yung docs.

    Pauuwiin ka agad agad...Joke! :-), syempre valid pa naman ang visa mo, you have the right to remain in Australia. Ang 1 year equivalent fulltime work ay requirement lang para makaapply ka ng PR visa. Since di mo pa nafullfill, di ka lang qualified to apply. Equivalent fulltime work-pwede dalawang part time work with total of 35 work hours per week. Pwede din kahit putol putol ang employment basta it will sum up to equiv 1 yr FT work. Please do check kung pwede say 18 hrs a week ka lang continuous for 2 years which in number of working hours is also equiv to 1 yr FT work(not sure on this)
