WAITINGGAME Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Hi Am just wondering if someone can help because me and OH head is in bits about moving to OZ (believe me this is not the first time and probably wont be the last). Basically we got SS for QLD in November, but we are now moving towards thinking of trying for SA can this be done basically if we have already got SS for QLD? its just i think it will be better on the job front there and cheaper houses.??? Thanks for help, really dont know what to do. I know about the changes to which will or might take effect in July.

Proview220 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Can anyone help me please? Why not just stick with the offer you have now then once you arrive in oz then do the move, i here of many people move from state to state before the two years are up.

You should just stick with your Qld sponsorship and go out there and see if you like it and can get a job. If things don't work out in Qld then you could move.

WAITINGGAME Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 i just thought you had to there in that state for 2 yrs? Just hard as well when you have kids to settle in school. Thanks for you response x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz2008 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 i just thought you had to there in that state for 2 yrs? Just hard as well when you have kids to settle in school. Thanks for you response x Hi Lindsey From what I have heard you are allowed to move state if you can show that you have tried to get work but not been able to. At least your application is in now, it would be a shame to have to wait longer due to waiting for SS from somewhere else! Also you need to think about the SMP. No-one really knows yet if you would have to reapply to the state if you are on their SMP list or if they will just take you, perhaps wait a little longer to see what the lists brings and new priorities in June/July before rocking the boat? At the end of the day only you can decide what is right for you and your family! Not that easy in the circumstances though hey!!!:goofy: Tasha:wubclub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not have to prove anything-not even that you looked for work. Legally, there is no condition on a 176 visa about staying in the state that sponsored you. In your application you tell the state you will stay for 2 years but there is nothing legally enforceble about this. It is only the Federal government, not state governments, who can impose conditions on visas. There is a lot of misunderstanding of this--search on this website and you'll see a question on this about twice a week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gollywobbler Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Hi Lindsey There is no reason why you can't apply to SA for SS if you would prefer to go there. Lots of people get SS from one State and then they change their minds and decide that they want to move to a different State instead. So they get SS from the second State and move there instead in the end. If you want to do everything strictly according to Policy then you certainly should apply to SA if you have decided - before the visa is granted - that you would prefer to move to SA.
