SA state sponsorship IELTS requirement has changed today

[Praz]

Hi all,

I have applied for SA state sponsorship under 190 VISA two weeks ago(System Administrator). At that time IELTS requirement was 6 for each modules.

My Result for IELTS as below and I was happy till today.

L : 6
R : 6.5
W:6
S :8


Now when I look the SA site today, I saw some changes and IELTS requirement for my nominated occupation( System Adminstrator) has changed to 6.5 for each module now. I am so disappointed now

Will they access my application, according requirement had when I was applying two weeks ago or according latest requirement on SA site now

Please advice

I applied on 2nd July and Document Received on 9th July. Still did not get any answer from SA and now they are changing IELTS requirement. If they choose me by Current IELTS requirements then I will not get SA SS as I have a 6 in writing :((. Does anybody know whether they choose by old IELTS requirement or new IELTS requirement as I applied when there was no such requirement.

Hi Friends,

I have got my suitable skill assessment for Systems Administrator from ACS and got 6 band in each module of IELTS. Am I eligible for state sponsorship from any State in Australia.

Please advice me in this regard..

I found that

Immigration SA is currently processing applications received from 2 July 2012.Please note: Immigration SA will only be able to nominate a limited number of state nomination applicants in July 2012. This is due to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) setting a limit on the number of state nominations available during the first month of 'SkillSelect'.When Immigration SA has reached the state nomination limit for July, applications will still be processed (in date order). However, approved applicants will only be nominated through SkillSelect once DIAC has allocated additional state nomination places.The standard processing time for state nomination applications is 8 weeks (this can change depending on the number of applications on hand at Immigration SA). This page is regularly updated with current processing times.

I think they will stick to old criteria but for a limited number people (as stated)
