<p><p>A bit late I know but Happy New Year to you and Dave. Hope things pan out this year for you both, I'll try to help you if I can when we finally arrive in Perth later in the year. Justin x</p></p>

<p>Sorry I don't know how long NT state sponsorship takes but most states take 4 - 8 weeks to process.</p>

<p>Tricky question as things do seem to have slowed a little after the 1st July changes. </p>

<p>I would suggest that the visa could take 3-6 months from lodging but times change all the time.</p>

<p>Congrats, stage one complete !</p>

<p>Mine was registered by TRA on 8/4 so a little while yet. Someone else I know on here just got theirs back after 16 working days so I'm checking every day !</p>

<p>I'll see if I can find a link to the new points test for you. It is still a draft but very likely to become the norm on 1st July. I don't need IELTS under the current test as I only need 6 and a British Passport gives you 6.5. If I don't make it before the 1st July I will need to get 8 on IELTS to get to 65 as I'm a bit old !</p>

<p>Maybe 3 weeks awaiting and 1 week to process ! LOL</p>

<p>Hi. I assume you are aware that time is VERY tight to get TRA, SS and visa app in before 1st July. Have you checked you can get enough points under the new test ?</p>
