Guest Dumbo Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Hi, I applied for ACT sponsorship (176) in January and I havent recieved the outcome yet. In one month they only saw ONE day of applications for 176 (amazing!!) Is anybody here still waiting for ACT sponsorship? It is taking a lot of time (more than 60 working days) and the new rules will be put in place in July! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunniecat Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Email them and follow it up? They've usually been pretty good at running on time, to the best of my knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afterbang Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Same here, they're still at the 11th of January and progress is zero. Someone told me they are further than the date suggests but that there are still a few cases from that particular date being handled so they cannot update the date (or something like that) But that is not official so if you have any extra info would be great to hear about it!

Guest Dumbo Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Thanks to both I am waiting for the 60 working days to talk to them. My career was on the list when they received my application but in February was not included in the updated list so I am getting nervous. afterbang, they are checking the applications from your date perhaps you can email them! Let you know if I talk to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know how you are doing I misunderstood your email!!! I thought your sent your application on 11th January... so, I will be the first : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afterbang Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Yeah, thought so I referred to the 11th as the date on the ACT website. Which could mean that it would be another 6 weeks before they close in to our pile of documents... arrrggghhh (maybe the confusion was because of my English. I'm not a native speaker so might make mistakes in grammar or just putting the words in the wrong order or whatever ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afterbang Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Hi Chiff, Keep a close look at these Vetassess guys. It took us 7 months and a lot of intervention from our Agent (Move2Australia) to get our skills assessed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithinoz Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Seen this update on ACT website: Important Notice — ACT Government processingThe Australian Government has made changes to the skilled migration visa regime, which are scheduled to commence from 1 July 2012. Due to these changes, the ACT Government advises that 'complete' applications (hard copy) should be lodged with our office by 1 May 2012 in order to be processed before the changes come into effect. Applications submitted after 1 May 2012 are unlikely to be processed before the changes commence. Applicants who are not processed before the changes commence will need to complete a new application under the new skilled migration visa regime from 1 July 2012.

afterbang Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Yeah, we are moving forward, we received some (extra) questions form the state, although they gave us a headache at first they seem manageable now. Our umpteenth visit to a solicitor to sign yet another document but at least things are progressing.

mihaitza Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Hi afterbang would you please tell us what kind of queries they had, what further documents they requested. just to know what to expect... thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afterbang Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 At first their questioning was a bit unclear to us. In the end they only wanted a recent CV and a statuary declaration (signed by a notary) which states that you are still in the profession you were being assessed at. (This is a form which states: I blabla am employed as .... Normally they do not ask this as I understood from other people here but as we hadn't any recent salary slip (self employed) I think they wanted some extra proof. Which wasn't a problem at all in the end. So with a bit of luck you will not get this request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
