You may also choose to send some proof of research (i.e. real estate, emails you've sent to potential employers, etc) in hard copy to the STNI office to accompany the online application.
I'm sure you know this, but you can't apply for the State sponsorship until you've received the positive skills assessment back from the TRA...

H Kathryn,
Thanks for the reply I took Vals advice and researched through different websites about Canberra and its surrounding areas and what it has to offer. Emailed Schools and Jobs etc. The responses we received back I used as evidence towards my statement. My statement was about two pages long I hope this will be good enough.
We passed our TRA in Aug and sent sponsorship app at the end of Aug. Just waiting now, my agent said about 6-8 wks. Fingers crossed.
