<p>Just fill in as much as you can with definate reasons why you have picked WA and give enough info for them to see that you are committed to living in the State and working. Then you can lodge it immediately and you get a reference number back by return email incase you want to make any further enquiries or add anything to your application - I was very quick to get mine in and the email said processing should take place in 4 - 6 weeks but I guess with the influx of new applications due to the changes this timescale is totally unreasonable and to be honest I am expecting a longer wait but at least it is lodged and with all the states changing their lists at the moment I think that is the main thing to consider - WA could also change their list at any time and I am just hoping they will follow SA lead and honour any existing applications already lodged. Good luck - sorry to babble on a bit - I just hope you get your application in asap and are successful - All the best of luck.</p>

<p>Hi there </p>

<p>At last someone else on here also with Jo. To be fair she has been great for us - I just wanted to get the sponsorship stuff lodged asap. I panicked with all the trades changes - we have been waiting for almost a year now since lodging our visa last May !! I didn't want to miss the boat again. I didn't really go into much details about Jo doing the State sponsored bit really - she just said it was our best option to get back on priority processing list and if she did it there would be a charge of £200 . I had a quick look on WA website and saw the online form and decided I could just do it myself - it is easy really if you haven't already paid the money and don't want to wait why not give it a go. TBC .............</p>

<p>Oh thanks for the info thats good news then - I just really want that visa - its a nightmare - kids keep asking are we going or not LOL. Lets hope WA and QLD follow suit then we'll both be happy hey.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>I'll keep you posted.</p>

<p>Yeah just fingers crossed now I guess - I can't sleep at the moment it driving me crazy all this unknown and waiting - just hope they don't make radical changes with their Sponsorship lists. We are using Jo Grist of Grist International she is based just North of Brisbane.</p>

<p>Hi there,</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Well we decided to do our own SS application - Agent wanted £200 extra - I guess after laying out 4k already i should have probably just paid it but it didn't look that difficult and to be honest we haven't got a lot of spare cash at minute with building the way it is. Anyway fingers crossed now we'll get SS sometime this year LOL !!! Kepp us posted how you get on too.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>kind regards</p>
