South Australia State Sponsorship

chococrinkle · September 2018

@Janet_0214 Oh my. If you dont mind, can I ask if na check mo ba na Under Mara si agent? Kasi if they are updated they should know that need mag apply sa SA for nomination. If na submit last year ang application mo around 3 weeks lang naman turnaround time. How many points are you now? 70 with SS points na ba or without pa?

chococrinkle · September 2018

Just a thought, as we all can see, basing on rules and processing times, a lot have changed since last year. I encourage everyone to apply as soon as they are eligible as we wouldn’t know what changes might be effected in the coming months. I also applied for SA state nomination around Nov 2017 and processing times then was only around 2-3 weeks, now it takes months na. It means they are receiving a lot of applications now, thus, taking them too long to issue invitations. Based on the trend, getting invites are getting tougher, so if you are eligible even for a 489 visa now, dont delay and lodge ASAP. You’ll never know what rules will affect your chances tomorrow. :-)

I agree with @chococrinkle Looking at those timelines it seems there were a lot of applicants who were like me, just waiting for SA to open last July and as soon as they opened, everyone submitted. That's why the volume for July 5 to 7 are so high.

@maguero yun nga po sobra nakakapanghinayang talaga. Nag apply na din po ako sa Tas for both 190 and 489 and same case din po hindi din sila nag submit ng application for state nomination. Nagpunta ako sa office nila kahapon at iniinsist ng agent na we have to wait for the state to respond to our application with the list of requirements and then thats the only time na pwede na magsend ng application for nomination. But I am not buying that as I start reading their website and clearly naka state don na after EOI, state nomination kaagad.

I really do not know if I will get my money from them and just continue applying by myself. Kaso ang worry ko baka di nila ibigay incng pera including my log in details sa current application ko at lalo tumagal at di ako umabot even sa Tas.

Palagay nyo po, possible ba na pansinin ako ni SA kung sakaling mag send ako ng application for state nomination at imention ko what happened to me sa commitment letter ko at humingi ng consideration sa kanila?

Thank you so much po sa help nyo.

Janet_0214 · September 2018

@chococrinkle opo registered agent po sila. Kaya nga po I trusted na they will handle my application properly at complacent ako at hindi na ako nagbother to know the process myself. Thats my biggest mistake.

Janet_0214 · September 2018

Favor po, baka po pwede may magshare ng sample ng commitment letter, pakisend na lang po sa sa email ko please [email protected]

Salamat po ng marami.

@Janet_0214 base on my experience with TAS need mo talaga mag apply sa website ng TAS for your application 489visa kasi hindi nila malalaman yung EOI mo kung hindi ka nag apply sa kanila.

Janet_0214 · September 2018

@Hunter_08 salamat. Sige applyan ko agad.

maguero · September 2018

@Janet_0214 Since registered sila I suggest you also file a complaint against them with MARA. That should help with your refund request and maybe they can also give you the details of your Skillselect account para you can continue with the same EOI. Although madali rin naman gumawa ng bago.

Hindi ko alam kung icoconsider ng SA yung case mo pero sa tingin ko there's no harm in sending them an e-mail to inquire.

70 characters lang yung commitment statement for SA. Just briefly say why you'd like to migrate and move to a smaller city like Adelaide.

Janet_0214 · September 2018

@maguero Thanks so much po sa input, that is a good idea. I can file a complain against them nga and at the same time baka pwede nila maconsider ang case ko.

Nagregister na po ako ngayon sa SA Website and will be sending them an inquiry kung pwee nila maconsider ang case ko.

Thanks po.

@Janet_0214 grabe naman agent mo napaka incompetent. Na check mo sa MARA website kong registered talaga sila? May written confirmation ba sila na send sau stating that they applied to SA or TAS for 489/190 visa? Kasi kong meron enough evidence na yun na hindi nila alam trabaho nila. You are paying agent to fill in those information na hindi mo alam about applying for visa. Kaya pede mo sila habulin at Ireklamo sa MARA.

Janet_0214 · September 2018

@batman I started to apply 2016 pa, kaso nag-stop ako kase nagbuntis ako kaya Dec 2017 ko lang naituloy, that time registered sila. Pero ngayon I've checked their name in MARA wala a sila don. I have to find out baka iba yung name na nakaregsiter sa kanila this time.

Meron kaming mga exchange ng emails, below is one of those:

"As per your query, please be advised that the application is in EOI stage wherein we are waiting for an invitation to happen.

Hence, there is no where we can submit the login id and password or anything as mentioned by you in the email and screen shot

However, if the application is lodged on SA website as a separate application then you shall have to provide with these details."

I assumed when she said "waiting for invitation" she was referring to visa invitation. I thought yung separate application sa SA website is after invitation na for visa. I dont really know the process kaya I rely on them fully.

I hope maging positive yung reply nila sa request ko to consider my case. Gumawa ako ng account sa SA website para makapagsend ako ng inquiry.

Thanks.

Janet_0214 · September 2018

@batman Sir, possible pa po kaya na mainvite pa ako anytime soon if magsusubmit ako application for SA kahit na Special Conditions Apply na ang occupation ko considering na Dec. 2017 pa submitted ang EOI ko?

Janet_0214 · September 2018

I am trying to send an inquiry sa SA website using my account. Pero wala po notification if it is submitted successfully or not.

Meron po ba may experience na nagsend ng general inquiry? Pano po malalaman kung sent yung message or not?

Thanks.

batman · September 2018

@Janet_0214 dont they have email? Kasi ako may account sa NT application ko. I use the prescribed email to communicate with them na nasa website nila. Nagrerespond nmn.

batman · September 2018

@Janet_0214 as long ma met mo conditions maiinvite ka naman.

Janet_0214 · September 2018

@batman wala silang email add Sir. Sa SA through website talaga, you have to create an account at gamitin yun to inquire. Problema nga lang po wala notification if sent successfully. Thanks.

maguero · September 2018

@Janet_0214 Wala talagang confirmation yung Enquiry system nila. Try sending an e-mail to this address sumasagot sila dati [email protected]

Janet_0214 · September 2018

@maguero thanks po. Will send them an email.

chococrinkle · September 2018

@Janet_0214 Hi! This is the email ad they used last dec 2017 to communicate with me on some details about my EOI. You may try sending an email to them as well. Thanks

[email protected]

Janet_0214 · September 2018

@chococrinkle sensya na po late ang reply. Nagsend na po ako ng email using that address and they replied na. Thank you so much po.

Janet_0214 · September 2018

Hello po. Help naman po, ako na lang ang mag-apply ng state nomination for SA, yung employment cert po ba na scanned copy na you have to upload is yung may stamp na certified true copy or yung original? Thanks.

jewel_34 · September 2018

batman · September 2018

@jewel_34 yes.

batman · September 2018

Janet_0214 · September 2018
