Ishaan Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 I haven't directly dealt with the ACT people. If I ask from my agent, that would be fine, right? It wont be problem emailing them directly. They will reply you within 2 working days ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eranga Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 It wont be problem emailing them directly. They will reply you within 2 working days ! I contacted my agent and he said that the lodgement date is the date I submitted my application. Still he hasn't received any news from them and said that as soon as he receives a feedback he'd let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey there, so you mean to say that if we apply for a ACT SS, they allocate us a CO first and if all goes well then we get a State Nomination ??

fahadraza Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I would appreciate if you could provide insights into financial capacity requirement. My nominated occupation is ONLY on ACT occupation list so obviously I am ultra careful and seeking for authoritative information before applying. I have 3 dependents (a spouse, 2 children - one is 2.25 and other one is 1.25 years). Here are the questions... 1) How much money do I need to have in order to qualify for the nomination? Is there any threshold for the financial standing? 2) Do I need to have all the money in cash as I have property, car to go along with the bonds and my wife has jewelry in gold? I have read in many online forums (all before 2013) that assets other than the bank savings are not taken into consideration for a successful ACT nomination. Is this true? 3) If I can include assets other than cash savings, what documents will be needed to prove the ownership and market value of property, car and gold jewelry provided I am asked for it either by MIS or DIAC? It's better to be proactive. 4) Do I have to provide bank statement of the last 3 months (in case the MIS department requests it) to proof I own the stated cash savings? In that case, I keep savings in form of bonds and I can immediately have the money in my bank account by selling them, but obviously I won't be able to show that the money has been in my account for at least 3 months. What's your take on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishaan Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Hi All, just to let you guys know that I have been appointed with a CO on 17th April and he sent me the following wordings: Dear Pardeep, Thank you for submitting the application for ACT nomination in support of a 190 visa on behalf of your client Ishaan Thakur. In order that processing can be finalized please provide the following information within 7 days by 24 April 2013: · Employment research – full advertisement for each vacancy is required. A minimum of 6 vacancies is required. Links and screenshots are not acceptable. The requested documentation should be emailed directly to me. If the information is not received by the due date the application will be finalized against the documentation already held which may result in the application for ACT nomination being refused. I am looking forward to send him the requested document by Friday. Thanks and Good luck to all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did, but since they have asked again, I need to provide it again. The fresh ones now ! I have sent the job vacancies to my migration agency and asked them to email it asap as only 989 invites are left for 2613 categories and mine is 261314 and Im pretty sure that there are more codes under 2613. I need the invite by next week or else i have to wait for July'13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watermark Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Hi Ishaan, Im going to apply for ACT SS soon. good to know ur application has been processed, they r kind of efficient. Im just confused why there r limited invitations for a specefic category, coz I think the invite will be sent to u right after ur SS is approved. Is occupation ceiling only for 189 applicants or both 189 and 190? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have limited invitations for a specific category because of the less demand i guess.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
