The Flinns Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I have a brother and family who live in Lisarow NSW and wanted to sponsor us. Unfortunately, because they are not in a designated area, this is not possible. I have now had to go down the state sponsored 475 temporary visa route. This is due to my age 44 and not having enough points for the skilled independent route. My skills assessment has come back positive, I've sat my IELTS and I have applied to South Australia for sponsorship. My gripe is that we will have to go to an area where we do not know anyone and yet we have family in NSW who are chomping at the bit to support us.

Welshtone Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Yes, it is a bit rough if you can't score the required 100 points with non-designated area sponsorship. It may be worth looking at designated areas near Lisarow e.g. Singleton as you can, when you get your South Australian Sposnored visa, live in ANY REGIONAL area in Australia. The post codes for desigated area sponsorships differ slightly from Regional areas - so be careful not to mix these up Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
