South Australia State Sponsorship

Au_Vic · June 2017

@maiSG03 you dont need to have a relative in SA if applying for state sponsorship unless your occupation is in their "special category" or supplementary list. If under special category or supplementary list, you either have to have high points, studied in SA, chain migration (family memeber in SA) or currently working in SA.

South Australia offers a lot of occupation in their skills list that is why it is attractive for people who wants to come over to oz. As to job, SA is a small state so don't expect too much. I agree to other posts here, it depends on the applicant if he/she wants a fancy job then it will be difficult to find one especially for new migrants. Anywhere in oz, local experience is important so I guess the technique is to get your first break in an oz company (even casual or temp jobs) and establish a local work experience.

Hi, question lang po. Anu po ba ibig sabihin kapag yung nominated skills mo naging Special Conditions Apply? May chance pa po bang mainvite kung biglang nagchange ng availability key sa SA? Thanks in advance.

ethelmariz · June 2017

@Strader question lang po, skilled visa 190 po ba ung inapplayan nyo? Anu anu pong documents yung pinasa nyo po sa pag apply ng visa? Thanks in Advance!

Strader · June 2017

489 sa akin @ethelmariz pero wala namang pinagkaiba ang docs sa 489/190 visa for state/territory sponsorship pareha lahat sa SA na state. Ielts, positive skills assessment, passport namin tatlo, coe payslip at ibang pang proof of employment.. sa mga high points and chain migration applicants di ko alam ang mga additional docs. Meron naman list of docs na makikita mo sa site nila. ^^

ethelmariz · June 2017

@Strader nareceived ko na po kasi yung ITA today and naoverwhelmed ako sa mga nabasa ko, na need isubmit. Need na din po ba magmedical?

Strader · June 2017

Oh.. i was thinking sa sponsorship app pa lang yong question mo. Meron click here dyan sa ITA mo for 190 ..andyan na yong docs na dapat mo isubmit.

Strader · June 2017

@ethelmariz ilang days lang lumabas na yong ITA mo sa SA? Mukhang mabilis na sila ngayon.

ethelmariz · June 2017

@Strader 6 working days. June 6 nag apply sa SA naapproved sya today 8:25AM.

Strader · June 2017

Ah ok. Mabilis na nga sila ngayon. Good luck @ethelmariz .

ethelmariz · June 2017

Thank you @Strader

Au_Vic · June 2017

@ethelmariz since the changes in skills list last april 19, SA had to remove a lot on their state skills list hence the processing times have improved significantly. they use to proces SA state applic 4-6 weeks but now its around 1 week. best of luck!

ethelmariz · June 2017

Thanks @Au_Vic !

Just like to ask if I need to notarized all my documents for visa application?

Au_Vic · June 2017

@ethelmariz Immigration accepts colour scans of original document. Any document submitted/scanned in black and white must be certified (notarized)

ethelmariz · June 2017

Thanks @Au_Vic

Au_Vic · June 2017

@ethelmariz no worries. best of luck and adelaide is waiting for you. I have not been there myself but heard there are heaps of filipinos in south australia

Hi Everyone,

Question po. Yung ICT occupation like System Analyst 261112. Need po ba dapat na ang minimum points is 70 points (kasama na yung SA SS na +5)? Currently nasa 60 po kasi yung points ko without SS. Allowed po ba ako na mag apply for SA SS? Thanks sa sagot po.

yes, total of 70 points inc ss

Au_Vic · June 2017

@coachella9 if you have 60 points now, apply for 489 visa in adelaide to give you 10 points for state sponsorship. 60 + 10 SS = 70 points then you can lodge your state application. adelaide process SS very very quick at this stage

coachella9 · June 2017

@Au_Vic thanks for the helpful info.

maiSG03 · June 2017

Thanks @Au_Vic ! question uli lumabas na ung positive skills assessment ni hubby and nakapagsubmit na kmi ng EOI, diretso na kmi apply ng state nomination sa SA d ba? or may hihintayin pa kami from the EOI bago apply state nomi? thank u!!

Au_Vic · June 2017

@maiSG03 if you have the required docs for state sponsorship and you have your EOI number, lodge you state sponsorship application ASAP.

Adelaide state immigration is closing its application system on June 29 in anticipation of changes in SOL and migration rules. Be on the safe side, again, lodge your state sponsorship application ASAP coz they may change the rules again.

From Adelaide State migration website:

Immigration SA’s application system will close at 3pm (ACST) on Thursday 29 June 2017 and will re-open at 12pm (ACST) on Tuesday 4 July 2017.

This closure affects all existing or new applications for Skilled, Employer Sponsored and Business migration.

Skilled Migration
The re-opening of the application system on Tuesday 4 July will coincide with the release of the updated State Nominated Occupation List (SNOL) for 2017/18. The update of the SNOL is an annual process undertaken by Immigration SA to manage participation in the national migration program.

As per the current SNOL, certain occupations will not be able to access state nomination for the subclass 190 visa and are therefore restricted to the subclass 489 visa. This reflects both restrictions put in place by the Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) in defining ‘regional occupations’ and further considerations by Immigration SA. Immigration SA will also restrict offshore applicants for certain additional occupations to state nomination for the subclass 489 visa.

DIBP has also advised that the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) will be revised on 1 July. As the STSOL forms the basis for the SNOL, Immigration SA will need to take into consideration any changes that may occur. Depending on when DIBP advise of any changes, the SNOL (and Supplementary Skilled List) may need to be further amended following its release on 4 July.

Applications submitted before 3pm (ACST) on Thursday 29 June will be assessed according to the current SNOL, and Immigration SA will endeavour to finalise these applications in SkillSelect so that they are not affected by any subsequent DIBP changes. The ability to do this will depend on volumes received and we encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible to facilitate processing prior to 1 July.

Note: Any Skilled Migration application that has not been submitted before 3pm (ACST) on Thursday 29 June will be deleted from the system and will not be able to be accessed again.

Goodluck sa move mo..

maiSG03 · June 2017

@Au_Vic nakareceive kami agad yesterday ng invitation from SA. sobrang bilis kasi Friday night lng kami ng pasa ng State Nomi application.

Ngaun medyo taranta kami. hehe.. ako ung dependent ni hubby.. tanong ko lng ung fuctional english nakalagay at least one of the following. So ito ung pwede sakin kasi wala akong IELTS and PTE

"Completed a degree, a higher degree, a diploma or a trade certificate that required at least two years of full-time study or training in an institution in or outside Australia and all instructions were in English."

So anong supporting doc ang needed? ung diploma ko lng ba or need pa humingi ng letter sa University? kulang na kasi kami sa oras kung mg ielts or PTe pa plus extra gastos din..

Kung meron ibang may alam appreciate your help din kasi 60 days lng binigay to lodge.

Thank you in advance!

Au_Vic · June 2017

@maiSG03 That's so quick 1 day processing! Good news and congrats in advance! Napaka-efficient talaga ng adelaide to process state migration. They did the same nung may changes sa SOL nung April 18, they stayed late that night to process ung application nung mga affected occupations to give them a chance.

Ask for a certification from your university using the official letterhead stating that ALL instructions were in English. Isama mo din ung diploma mo to show na you have finished a degree.

Best of luck. Soon you will be making the big move in land down under

maiSG03 · June 2017

@Au_Vic oo super nagulat nga kmi may result again and kinakabahan nga kasi mgclose na tapos low availability na sa SA ung field ng asawa ko.. Thank you sa lahat ng tulong! Will request from my Uni mabilis naman cguro makuha..thanks uli and sa uulitin hehehe.. God bless!!

coachella9 · June 2017

Hi Everyone,

for financial capacity po ba, required ng evidence for SA? Papaano po ba ang process? Maraming Salamat sa sagot po.

Strader · June 2017

U just need to declare your financial capacity cash and assets but no need for proof... so far wala pa namang application na humingi sila ng evidence.

Au_Vic · June 2017

@maiSG03 no worries! you can request it from your school but I will suggest you should draft the letter to ensure the key words are there (e.g. all, or 100% in english).

enjoy Adelaide!

maiSG03 · June 2017
