    @heyits7me_mags Analyst Programmer is included in the VIC SS Occupation list. I heard there's no fee collected for VIC sponsorship. Here's the link: http://www.liveinvictoria.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/225920/State-Sponsorship-Occupation-List-for-Victoria-2011-12.pdf

    @rainbowcoffee, meron nga sa Vic pero tagal ng result 12wks., pero try rin namin kasi malapit na validity date ng ACS Skills assessment namin 17 May. Sa NSW kasi 3-4wks. lang pero may fee AUD300. SALAMAT! ha sa research sa Vic. Yung SS application sa WA madali lang yung basta follow mo lang guidelines kasi meron me friend na grant ng SS dun ganun lang din ginawa nya.

    @heyits7me_mags: VETASSESS. I already submitted my application but it seems that results are coming out 12-16 weeks on the average. I am looking into taking IELTS by March. Nagmamadali po :) but I need the WA State Sponsorship kase yung nominated occupation ko is in SOL Sched 2. Im really crossing my fingers that WA State Sponsorship takes only less than a month. Yung WA questionnaire daw kase needs reasearch so Im hoping may makapagshare dito para maprepare ko na lahat. Hehe

    Hi guys! I applied for a SS on WA for a 475 regional sponsored (state) as a ASCO: 263311, Occupation: Telecommunications engineer (263311). My agent lodged my application last Dec. 21, 2011 at was approved the day after Dec, 22, 2011. One day processing lang yung sakin. Validity of the sponsorship is 3 months upon notifying you of the results. kulang kasi ako ng points for a 175/176 visa kaya 475 na lang ang option ko. Ayoko na kasi mag retake pa ng ielts saka medyo parating na naman ang July 2012 kailangan na magmadali. =)

    @rainbowcoffee,

    pwede mo naman simulang filupan yung WA SS form.

    naalala ko sa questions are:
    1) papapiliin ka ng regions in WA except perth, tapos justify mo why do you decide to pick those regions
    2) cost of living
    3) any people you know in Australia (be careful with this one, i discourage placing any name from other state kase it would be negative to them in a way dahil they might think that you'll prefer to stay in that state because of your ties to that person)

    Documents: the usual lang Assessment + ACS + education docs + employment docs + passport + birth certificate..

    WA does not require proof of funds although you have to enter a specific amount.

    20k is ok for single + 10k for every dependent.. syempre wag mo saktohin yung value diba?

    @katie0499: Thanks for the info :) Is it possible to download the WA SS form? Wala pa kase ko ng assessment and IELTS and Im not expecting to receive them any time soon. Im just hoping I could prepare my answers in advance so I can submit my application as soon as I have the required docs with me. I heard that their questionnaire requires lots of research daw.

    Hi guys, can I ask a question? If you're short of 5 points sa required and you're trying to increase it by applying for State Sponsorship, okay lang ba sa State yun? Or minimum requirement nila is 65 ka din dapat before they can give a favorable result? Naguluhan kasi ako sa mga minimum rqmts ng States. Dapat daw mameet yung minimum rqmts ni DIAC eh 65 pts yung requirement ni DIAC for eligibility. Eh kaya nga ako magaapply ng State Sponsorship para madagdagan ng 5 pts. Please enlighten me. Thanks1

    @theaccountant Dapat yung total point mo is 65 points included na dun yung 5 points mo for State sponsorship. wala po problem kung 60 points ka lang upon your application for SS. Yung gusto lang nila malaman e kung aabot ka sa 65points if ever you are awarded of the SS.

    @theaccountant i applied for a Western Australia SS. I opt to apply for a 475 visa because kulang ako ng 10 points for DIAC. Ayoko na kasi mag-ulit pa ng IELTS. Madali naman na-approve yung SS ko. Dec. 21, 2011 ako nag apply then the next day meron na agad decision. Natagalan lang sila sa pagpapadala sakin ng results.
