State Sponsorship on EOI

[Addison05]

Hi All

I have submitted my EOI for the 489 Sub Class, I received an e mail from our agent advising to tick all when asked which state for nomination and one or more may offer sponsorship.

I noticed on here last night someone has applied for WA State sponsorship straight after their EOI.

Will I have to do this in the hope to get WA State sponsorship or wait and see.


Thanks
