Any recommendation ? Hiya Welcome to Poms in Oz. A State Sponsored 176 visa would be processed a LOT faster than a family sponsored one. However there are very few IT skills on the the list of occupations that QLD will consider State Sponsorship for: State & Territory Migration Sites - australia.gov.au Skilled Sponsored Eligible Skills List West Australia, on the other hand, is willing to consider sponsoring people for a much wider range of IT skills: http://www.migration.wa.gov.au/media/documents/WAOIDL_JANUARY_2009.pdf Also being able to say that you have close family in WA would be music to the Stately Ear. (They must be close rellies or they would not be able to sponsor you for a 176 visa.) Best wishes Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
