Tentative naman po yung pagtanggal...hindi sigurado kung this year or the next or never...ganun talaga kasi lumalaki na ang populasyon ng Australia kaya hinihigpitan nila lalo yung immigration para yung mga kailangan lang na tao ang makakapasok.
On your other question, it's my first time to hear this...mahal din po kasi yung state sponsorship application so mas mainam po siguro kung subukan niyo muna sa isang state at kung rejected saka kayo mag-apply sa iba. Hindi naman matagal sumagot mga yun

Wala naman limit in applying for SS on different states. Mas ok nga yun kasi marami kang options if you are in a SS visa. Yun nga lang may bayad ang SS application sa ibang states at iba iba rin yung mga rates nila.

" To be eligible for Victorian Government state sponsorship, applicants are required to have at least 'competent' English, a score of at least six in each band level. Eligibility requirements for some occupations may include a higher standard of English. This will be indicated on the State Sponsorship Occupation list. The Victorian Government does not participate in the English language concession. "

Ang isa pang mahirap sa state sponsorship--may sarili ring categories ang bawat occupation sa listahan nila. There's a state (I can't remember which one) that requires you to have studied or lived in their state before to qualify for sponsorship on a given occupation.
Gulo nila noh? hehe
