mafioso Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Respected members, I am applying for state sponsorship subclass 190 as per my agents suggestion; we decided to apply under marketing specialist trade and processed all documents accordingly. where my experience (4 yrs), education (from London) and references were included. After every document were collected, we submitted it for assessment to VITASSESS on 6th August 2015. Its been 12th week now neither me nor my referees received any call or mail from the authorities, which i am worried about. since the official time given for assessment is 8-10 weeks i am getting restless about the whole process and dont know fate of my VISA. Please with all your experience and expertise let me know what shall i do next? Will i be able to get state sponsorship? since i have given PTE and overall score is 76. your suggestions will be extremely helpful! Will give me some direction to speak with my agent who till now is only wait and watch mode which terrifies me sometimes. looking forward to hear from you all!

MaggieMay24 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 The VETASSESS website says processing takes 10-12 weeks, so you should hopefully get your outcome soon. Marketing Specialist is only available in South Australia for sponsorship, and it's on their Supplementary List which means you need to have lived/studied at least one year in SA or have immediate family living in SA (it's not available for the 3rd option of 85 points).

mafioso Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Hello All, Got a mail from VITASSESS saying, "As your qualification and/or employment require further investigation, there may be some delay in finalising your case. I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause." Dont know what exactly is wrong! worrying time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's correct. Your other option would be to find an employer who is willing and able to sponsor you on an employer sponsored (e.g. 457/186/187) visa. Your agent should be able to explain these visa options to you, although the fact that they didn't advise you of the limited options is a bit concerning.

wrussell Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 From time to time the immigration department select VETASSESS applications 'at random' for an 'integrity check'. This delays matters. Was your agent a registered migration agent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafioso Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 Yes, they are MARA registered agent. They have been supportive; yet they have no clue whether Marketing specialist will be given state sponsorship in near future or not! i am having no clue what is going to happen next!
