Guest Gollywobbler Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Hi Jodie & Dirk I think you should apply for a 176 visa anyway, though you need a new 457 visa first in order to get some money coming in and to keep you in Oz. Apart from anything else, the DIAC application fee for a 176 visa is $2,105 which might be too much for you to find just at the moment, though applying for WA State Nomination is free. As Hairdresser has said, you must have a positive skills assessment from TRA before you can apply for the State Nomination. Once the skills application is submitted to TRA, they should be able to turn it round within a couple of weeks but getting it ready can be very time consuming. With your plans for the sc 176 application, please start here: Skilled – Sponsored (Migrant) visa (subclass 176) Skilled – Sponsored (Migrant) visa (subclass 176) Make sure that Dirk can score not less than 90 points without the extra 10 points that WA will chuck in if the application for State Nomination succeeds. Applying for State Nomination from WA is free. Both Solid and Fibrous Plastering are on the MODL: Is your occupation in demand? - Workers - Visas & Immigration Booklet 6 describes more about the 176 visa: Australian General Skilled Migration Booklet With regard to the application for State Nomination, Hairdresser has given you the correct link. Both types of Plastering are also on the Priority Skills List for WA, which underpins WA's participation in the 176 visa scheme: http://www.migration.wa.gov.au/media/documents/priority-skills-list.pdf State Migration Centre Skilled Sponsored Visa State Migration Centre Online Application System Follow the links. You should read the "how to apply" section and phone the State Migration Centre if you get stuck on anything. Please shout if you need more help.
