Hi EOI first. If you are successful in your state sponsership they will mark your EOI as successful and cuts down waiting time. Otherwise you have to contact them afterwards with your EOI information and it takes longer. As for the financial aspect of sponsership I have no idea. They state it as a requirement but I imagine it would be at their discretion. If they really want you they may overlook it provided you are close to the required amount. With regards to to finances it can include any house you own - they took our deposit into account from our mortgage and you can also provide details of cars you own and proof of their worth. Hope this helps i don't imagine anyone on here will be able to tell you your chances. It's all up to the nt. People have been turned down for 190 for not having enough ties so I imagine it is up to their discretion at the time and the job role and anything else you are bringing to the table sa

Congratulations!

Hope it comes through soon for u. Wouldn't wish our wait on anyone!

Hope u are next! Good luck and I hope it doesn't take as long for u as it did for me!

Adelaide team 8 CO Initial V

No news for us yet. :sad:

i don't know. I've now run out of things to give her. She will either accept them now or reject our visa. Nothing more I can gather. Nearly every week she has been in touch asking for more. She didn't even ask for proof of hours worked initially! Our CO is very thorough!

No news for us yet either. Having some trouble proving hours worked at previous job. It's not on payslips and hubby's wage was quite low because he had just qualified. Sent a statutory declaration, statement from old boss, reference stating full time and got a statement from a police officer who was a customer and also his son worked there so he knew the wages were low. Hoping that is enough but losing some hope now :sad: need to hear next week to be able to be out for Christmas.

I think it all depends on you CO! Ours has wanted loads and has taken ages!

Glad you have your CO! that took a while thought I was the only one still waiting!

Any news from anyone or am I the only one still waiting?

Congratualtions! We are submitting a statutory declaration and a letter from his old boss confirming his hours. The payslips could take a few weeks to access and we want to try those before then. When are I planning on moving to oz?

I was told by my agent that vetassess do the assessment on behalf of tra...which would make sense as the immi site does state tra. in fact I have just checked hubbys certificate and at the bottom it states that it will be considered a tra assessment as vetassess are under contract with tra

I believe it is 6 as you automatically receive 6 if you have a relevant passport. however you may need an ielts result of 7 if you need the points to apply for the visa

hi my husband is a mechanic and he did his skills assessment through vetassess in February 2013 we have a CO checking our application and she has asked for additional documents but no mention that the skills test is wrong hope this helps

having a nightmare! now because we have sent the p60s the case officer wants proof that my hubby worked more than 20 hours per week because his wage is so low she thinks he worked part time! how can we explain to her that it is just because mechanics are paid badly here compared to Australia! we already have a reference stating he worked full time and we have now sent a declaration from his old boss stating the hours he worked per week and the times and days (Mon-Fri 9-5.30) we are getting payslips reprinted but getting a bit worried that our CO is going to be asking for more documents for the rest of time! Ahhhhhh! OK feel a bit better now! Christmas is very soon going to be just wishful thinking :sad:

P60s are a uk end of year tax certificate and p45s are what u are given in the uk when u leave a job.
