Does anyone know when the new list will be published, specifically for ICT occupations?

congrats!!

Every state has their own SMP -State migration plan IF your occupation is listed, then go can go ahead and apply. I checked SA's SMP https://www.migration.sa.gov.au/snol%20data look to the right on the page where it says occupation list and click on the list for 2012-2013 (this list will be updated later maybe in July 2013). your occupation is listed as off-list Maybe wait till July for the updated SMP for SA in July 2013. It is FREE to apply to SA. If you haven't already done so, check the authorizing body that will carry out your skills assessment which will be needed BEFORE you apply to any state.

good luck guys.

what if i lodge my visa, but due to lack of funds, unable to do the medical soon after lodging my visa online. Can I explain this to the CO?

would it be form 22? http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1022.pdf

just bumpin.....

okay, so I have finally been invited to apply for 190 (NSW), my question is regarding the medical. Do I also have a 60 day time limit to complete my medicals? or can i complete my medicals anytime after lodging the visa online?

lol it was a very EASY question that could have taken the OP literally one minute of his/her life to type the question into GOOGLE it's not just the forum that has answers, google has answers too!

Yes you will need one for Oz and not to be rude, but clearly you know how to type, maybe typing your question in GOOGLE would get you an answer....have you heard of GOOGLE? http://www.afp.gov.au/what-we-do/police-checks/national-police-checks.aspx

okay, and which state will you be applying to and with what occupation?

did you get a skills assessment done as well? if you did, you can upload the skills assessment results letter and your IELTS result and wait ti be invited. Not sure when the next round will be for April.

curious, but your signature says WA SS granted, and now you're moving to Sydney?

what occupation are you being assessed for? back in September last year it took me 4 weeks to get the approval, but as of today I think it's around 12 weeks (could be wrong)

Well it was easter bank holiday Monday yesterday so no work for NSW office. I hope I get approval this week though.

yes i think so.

according to the ACS criteria http://www.acs.org.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0016/7324/Summary-of-Criteria.pdf only a degree/diploma/masters/or a doctors degree are assessed....however, you said you have no IT work experience?? p.s if you get your MCITP or MCSE this is comparable to AQF diploma with an ICT major

which occupation are you wanting to be assessed for and what subject did you get your degree in?

LOL funny post. Where in Texas are you?

ah I was hoping you post a pic! :cool:

don't you get a TRN AFTER you have lodged your 190 online? and don't you need that TRN to apply to get your medicals done?? If so, how were you able to get your meds done early, without having the TRN for ehealth and without even been assigned a CO yet?

lol what is your occupation and did you make sure that 'all states' have your occupation listed on their individual state migration plan??

first off, which state did you apply to?
