Hi everyone! I'm new to this site so hope I'm doing this correctly! Me and my partner are just starting the process of moving to Oz. We are going by his Chef qualification which is on the SOL and the CSOL. He is Italian so having to do an English test before we can even apply for EOI. Once we do the next step is whether to apply for Subclass 189 or 190? I know that the 190 you can get sponsored by a state, but we would like to move to Queensland as that's where i have my sister and her family and lots of friends. What i am wondering is if we apply for the 190, and choose Queensland as our choice, what are the chances of us getting to go there ? Also if we apply for this Visa, is it guaranteed we get sponsored by a state? as don't want to part with all that money if it wasn't definite. Advice and personal experiences on this would be really helpful. Thanks in advance
