keily Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Hey guys wonder if anyone can answer this ... Sons girlfriend had applied to act for state sponsorship and just been allocated case officer ... Unfortunately she has not included my son in her application ... Under the impression that dependant meant children and not my son ... Case officer has picked this up but we are at this point unsure if she can add him to application ? Does anyone know if this can be done ? Without him on the application her settlemt funds don't stack up as obviously half the money saved is his ... A aarrgghh Desperately hoping someone has advice Thanks mrs keily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeelD Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Hi, Ask the CO if you can make this change on the application as you were not aware of dependant meant. Also update the EOI and add it on there as once the SS has been granted the invite will be auomatically sent and you won't be able to change this on the EOI. The invite will come directly from DIAC not ACT. But speak to the CO first and see if you can change it in the application. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keily Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Any agents able to clarify this ? Mrs keily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul Senise Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 The state sponsorship application is not a Visa application and therefore not Governed by the Migration Regulations. The State or Territory can assess and apply whatever rules they chose to the application process. Therefore, it is up to the person assessing whether your son can be added post lodgement. It should be noted however, that on the 1st of October the ACT Government announced that: “The assessment of the application for ACT nomination will be based solely on the supporting documents provided at the time of application. Additional documents will not be accepted after submission The case officers will not be requesting further information. If the application is incomplete, or it does not meet the nomination criteria, the application will be refused.” If the application was lodged prior to 1 October, you may be OK.
