Visa 485 (2011) to Visa 190 (WA SS)

[zeroman]

Hi guys,

 

I just join this forum, a new member, sorry to suddenly ask some long question.

 

I have 2 questions here regarding visa 190 with WA State Sponsor. 'Plant and Production' Engineer as my skill assessment. (60 points)

Age - 30 points

Degree - 15 points

Study - 5 points

Work Exp - 5 points

WA State Sponsor - 5 points

 

Curtin University Bachelor Electronic and Communication Engineering, Live in WA for 4 years. My questions are:

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Question 1

 

If my occupation is in the list of WASMOL

http://www.migration.wa.gov.au/SKILL...sindemand.aspx

 

Do I have to provide the document below for visa 190

http://www.migration.wa.gov.au/skill...onsorship.aspx

 

At the bottom of page it state that:

If you are currently employed in Western Australia, in your nominated or closely related occupation, you must provide evidence that this employment will continue for a further 12 months.

This must be typed on company letterhead and signed by your potential or current employer.

 

However this website state differently at the most bottom,

http://www.migration.wa.gov.au/SiteC..._2012_2013.pdf

 

or this letter is only required for people whose job profession in the off-list criteria of WASMOL?

http://www.migration.wa.gov.au/SiteC...hedule%202.pdf

 

So, I repeat my question, regardin WA state sponsorship.

Do I have to provide a letter (COP/Reference/Offer letter) show that the company has contract for me for at least another year in that company?

Is there any additional criteria/documents to provide for WA State Sponsor? e.g. Fund maybe for certain amount?

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Question 2

I am using visa 485 at the moment, which I obtained in 2011/early 2012 expired this year (18 December 2013).

 

I heard there is a new rule for visa 485(March 2013) that we need to get health insurance

http://www.immi.gov.au/students/whats_new.htm

 

So my question, do I have to get my health insurance when lodge my EOI for visa 190?

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope you guys can help me answer my questions,

Best Regards,

Zeroman
