NSW State Sponsorship

amcasperforu · December 2012

Hi Alexamae, wala akong idea sa TRA, im not sure kung similar ang requirements nyan sa visa 190, based on visa 190, i think you need to score at least 60 sa EOI... That is 60 yung total points including na yung +5 na State Sponsorship. Im unsure kung nag try ka na online for EOI.. I think sa last sasabihin nya ung result if san ka qualified.

Think positive

Good luck.

@amcasperforu helo, im glad you're back

Yung mga sinumbit mo sa ACS na certified copies un din ba ang sinumbit mo sa nsw ss?
Sa diac ba mag need pa ng mga documents na naka ctc?

alexamae · December 2012

Helo pasagot naman ako dito kung sino naka try na.. Pinost ko din to sa kabilang forum pero wala pang reply eh.. post ko na din dito.

Hi I need your help with my SS for NSW as Systems Administrator. I am gathering all the documents now.

1.) For my results for ACS assessment, it is just a pdf copy emailed to me, is it alright to print and submit it?
2.) For my IELTS I received a result paper, is it okay if I submit a copy of it or do I need it stamped as certified true copy?
3.) For the Employment References, I submitted scanned copies of ctc documents to ACS before. I still have the hard copies with me. Is it okay if I submit these to them? Will DIAC require hard copies with ctc in the future?
4.) Letters of References, is this different from the Employment References? From whom can I ask these letters?
5.) For the Contracts, is it required to submit all the contracts from all the employers I had? I only have the latest 2 companies though. Aside from that, I don't have my previous contracts anymore.
6.) For the Payroll Records, I only have the payslips and tax records of my current company. Will this be a problem?

Please if anyone who has the same experience please share your thoughts. Thank you.

@Alexamae, thank you, medyo naging busy lately sa family and work hehe.
1. Print then CTC
2. Photocopy then CTC
3. You can send the hard copies that you made for the ACS assessment, make sure you still have the original copies (without the ctc) so you still can have it photocopy and ctc in case DIAC needs it
4. I did not pass any letter of reference, only employment certificate from my companies
5. I only submitted three contracts, same mine, I dont have the copies anymore from the other companies
6. You;re fine, I believed they only need the current one, I submitted the same thing, the latest two months.

Hope this helps

alexamae · December 2012

@amcasperforu Thank you for your beautiful answers! Salamat ng marami, ayan pwede nako mag proceed hehehe..

amcasperforu · December 2012

@alexamae no problem, I just share ung ginawa ko, pero disclaimer pa rin ha, di pa sya bullet proof kasi yung application ko di pa rin approved ng NSW

ace_jef · January 2013

any idea po tuwing kelan nagrerefresh ung SNOL ng NSW?

amcasperforu · January 2013

@ace_jef Nung last na check ko parang every 15th, pero di sila frequent nag uupdate un lang napansin ko.

alexamae · January 2013

helo, sa mga nasa SG na nag apply na ng NSW SS.
Pasagot naman ang tanong ko please..

Diba NSW state sponsorship application saka TRA assessment only accept Bank Cheque and Money Order.
My account is under POSB, wala silang money order as per the cust svc person. They only have demand draft and cash order (eto locally alng daw).
May I know what other options I can do to pay NSW SS and TRA?
Sino po naka try na?
Any other banks in Singapore that has Money Order service? What if I dont have an account with that bank?
Help naman po sino may idea! salamat!

I found Singpost! Ok na to diba? Salamat.

amcasperforu · January 2013

Guys question... sa mga NSW SS, may pinapadala po ba silang acknowledgment letter once na received ang documents from courier? and ilang days after ma confirm ng courier na nandun na sa knila before NSW will send an email to you?

Hi Alexamae,

I did use Singpost' money order the same time nung pinadala ko yung docs ko, so far wala naman good/bad feedback from NSW. Di ko lang na checheck kong possible mo makita kung yung money order mo eh meron na kumuha ;-)

Hi BatchMate ;-)

Same question tayo, and I think wala confirmation from NSW kung na receive na nila or not, immediately (3 weeks before ang waiting time last 2012, 2013 4-8weeks na) meron na sila notification which is the only one, kung successful or not ang applicaiton mo ;-) yan ang advise ng mga naka experiance na before.

legato09 · January 2013

@ace_jef Nung last na check ko parang every 15th, pero di sila frequent nag uupdate un lang napansin ko.

Yes tama po, try to check at least 15th and 30th of the month ;-)
gawin nyo nang habit parang pagbubukas ng email every morning at before bedtime hahahaha

amcasperforu · January 2013

@legato09 ikaw pala ang aking batchmate along with alexamae...

Wala ka rin bang na received ni ack mail from them? Nakakatakot kasi nandun ung cheque hehe...

Yung 4-8 weeks yan ba ung final decision kung approve or disapprove?

Huhhuhuhu... Nag early out pa ako para pumunta ng Singpost kahapon kasi magsasara sila around 5pm.
wala naman daw sila Money Order for Australia. Totoo po ba to?
Bakit ikaw nagawa mo? Sabi nila International Bank Draft lang daw ang available nila for Australia.

Nag ask pa ako kagabi sa NSW via email if pwede ba to. Di pa nagrereply eh. Tawagan ko kaya, mahal ba long distance hehehe.

LokiJr · January 2013

Two months pa rin po ba ang processing time ng SS sa NSW ngayon?

Gori · January 2013

got my acknowledgement email from NSW today.. after 2 months!

amcasperforu · January 2013

@Gori, wow ang galing...

lapit na yan... ang tagal na pala ng processing nila ngayon maski ack mail

amcasperforu · January 2013

@LokiJr ang 2 mos yata ng SS sa NSW pang ack mail lang... wala pa ung totality

tumagal po daw eh... 6 to 10 weeks daw according sa nabasa ko rin dito sa forum

LokiJr · January 2013

@amcasperforu thanks...not bad hehe mabilis pa rin hehe...Nagcheck ako sa site nila, $330 pa rin ba yung fee?

Okim · January 2013

@alexamae Hi, Singpost din ginamit ko to send docs to NSW at bank draft din..inaccept naman nila..medyo maghihintay ka nga lang ng 6-8 working days bago madeliver..

amcasperforu · January 2013

@LokiJr, AU$300 for outside AU applicants...

LokiJr · January 2013

Ayun, salamat! I read up on the requirements na rin hehe

Ako na po daw magpapadala nito sa australia. DHL ung gagamitin ko pang send para mabilis

thank you for replying.

@alexamae -sorry, just some questions:
- why do you need to have partner's point?
- I saw you submitted NSW SS application already..

im asking because, you submitted SS application, that means, you will have 60 pts (after ma-approve ang SS)?

tama po ba?

lock_code2004 · January 2013

@alexamae - deleted.. double post.

Helo @lock_code2004

We need partner's points kasi wala po kaming score sa IELTS.
D ko na po pina retake ang asawa ko kasi d po malaki ang chance na maka all bands 7 sya para maka abot kami ng 60 pints.

With NSW SS na 5 points, 55 padin po kami. Kaya di pwede mag lodge ng EOI.

So ang ginawa namin nag pa assess ako para sa additional 5 points ng partner's skill.
Para pag na approve at na invite ng NSW 60 points na, pwede na mag EOI agad2x hehehe

Tama po ba tong ginawa namin?

lock_code2004 · January 2013

@alexamae - okay now i got your point.. tama nmn po.. wala namang mali..

the only risk is, pag hiningi na ng NSW ang EOI mo, at nakitang 50 pts pa lng kayo (w/o SS 5pts), eh hindi kayo ma-aaprove.. kasi kahit approve nila kayo, hindi kayo maiinvite..

so kailangan, mauna muna ang TRA results before ma-approve ang NSW or before maghingi sila ng EOI reference number..

I would suggest:
- check how long is TRA processing
- check ang current processing time ng NSW
- if feasible, baka mas mabilis mag-retake ng IELTS

or maybe mas feasible ang 489 (temporary visa) na additional 10 pts for SS Regional..

Suggestions lang po..

Oh no

Sinabay ko po na esend ang TRA application at NSW application

Ang turn around/processing time po ng NSW sa ngayon is around 2-3 months based dun sa spreadsheet nila.
Sana po mauna ang result ng TRA bago ang NSW

Sabi po kasi sa website nila, 90 days ang validity ng nomination nila, I was thinking na if ma approve nila ang application ko, meron pa ako 90 days bago mag EOI.

Register on SkillSelect

You must advise us of your DIAC SkillSelect EOI Reference Number within 90 calendar days from the date of your nomination or your nomination will lapse. To register on SkillSelect and obtain an EOI Reference Number, please go to the DIAC website www.skillselect.gov.au

Nakaka worry naman

Mag IELTS nalang ba ulit ang asawa ko?

lock_code2004 · January 2013

@alexamae - as i've said.. it's a risk...

tama, kailangan mauna lumabas ang result ng TRA.. gano katagal daw po ang TRA result?
at tama din naman po na mayexpiration ng SS approval NSW..

but, im not sure if that 90 days is from the date na makuha nila ang EOI mo until maka visa application ka?

or is that 90 days the allowed time to provide your EOI?
