lebourvellec Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Your occupation is on SOL 2 therefore your brother can not be a sponsor. Therefore you will require SS to be able to apply and you can sit the IELTS to gain the extra points you require. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubbe2005 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 Nomination by a state/territory government or sponsorship by an eligible relative living in a designated area. Invitation to apply. Meet points test pass mark. Nominate a skilled occupation from the relevant skilled occupation list. Hold a suitable skills assessment. Under 50 years of age. At least competent English. Other standard requirements including health and character. http://www.immi.gov.au/skills/skillselect/index/visas/subclass-489/ Wheres does it state my brother who gets his PR this year cannot sponsor me because my occupation is on SOL2. all it says is Nominate a skilled occupation from the relevant skilled occupation list, whether its from SOL 1 or SOL 2 [h=4]Where must your sponsor live in Australia?[/h]If you are being sponsored by an eligible relative, your sponsor must be a resident in a designated area of Australia at the time of the sponsorship. My brother resides in VIC But I am confused with your statement that he cannot sponsor me because my occupation is on SOL 2. It does not say that underneath the sponsors tab.

lebourvellec Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 If you apply for a General Skilled Migration visa on or after 1 July 2011 and you are not nominated by a State or Territory Government, you must nominate an occupation from Schedule 1 of the Skilled Occupation List. If you apply for a General Skilled Migration visa on or after 1 July 2011 and you are nominated by a State or Territory Government you must nominate an occupation from either Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 of the Skilled Occupation List.http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/_pdf/sol-schedule1-2.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candygirl Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I am not going to contradict anything that Lebourvellec has said as they seem very clued up on the visa process to me, but all I would say is that the current processing time for family sponsorship is listed as 12-18 months, but from reading other PIO'ers posts it more likely to be 2-3 years. If you do not wait, I would suggest applying for state sponsorship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbe2005 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 It does not say the bit in red!! 489 says nominate from the relevant schedule so the rules for schedule 1 and 2 are contradicting the visa requirements for visa 489!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebourvellec Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 489 says nominate from the relevant schedule so the rules for schedule 1 and 2 are contradicting the visa requirements for visa 489!! "relevant" "The following information is a guide only and is subject to the legislative process. More information will be available closer to 1 July 2012." http://www.immi.gov.au/skills/skillselect/ From the current 475 guidelines - those are the rules.
