lsh Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Hello everyone I wonder if anyboby of act state sponsored has already got the officer? Also does anyone have an idea when they are planning to start assgning officers to us? Hi, I emailed our agent to ask how long it could take to get a case officer for us new priority 2's (we have ACT ss), and the DIAC have said "please be advised that currently it may take between 4-6 weeks for priority 2 applications to be allocated to and assessed by a case officer". Good news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

virtual_bajwa Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Ladies and Gentleman, As most of the forum members know me. But still I have to introduce myself.I had applied for Designated Area Sponsored( Provisional) Visa( Subclass 496) 30 August 2007. I had went through a roller coaster during the processing of this visa subclass. In spite of being provisional visa I have to waited for such a long time. I was asked to submit medical and PCC in 2008, which I had submitted. Then again I submitted the medical and PCC on January 2010. Job verification was done on 03-09-09. I am still waiting guys. Well, to add more 496 visa subclass is not come under capping and ceasing. It means we are not capped and ceased as some of you must be thinking that I am Pre September applicant and must have capped. Well, friends my question is that my occupation is on ACT(Limited) SMP. Now my question here is should I go for the new application of wait for the result of 496 which I am doing for ages.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you qualify for ACT then go ahead and do it, its a more concrete option I think. You've suffered for way too long already. Is it possible to have both applications on the go at once?

Who knows DIAC again set a cap for my second application. Should I invest more money....?? Many more question before applying for this visa.

Guest ligugei Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Hi Ligugei, Your email does indicate an issue with the ACT plan - the version I provided yesterday came from an official source and this one is obviously also on an official source, the ACT website. I would suggest that if it's possibly relevant to you that you should contact the ACT government without delay before someone else takes that sponsorship place. Cheers, George Lombard Hi George, The Client Manager of ACT Migration Dept. said that the occupation is limited now , and he said the list on the ACT website will be updated yesterday. But the translator is still open in the list on the website today. So I'm really confused. Do you have any idea what will happen if i apply the smp of ACT anyway? If the occupation is really limited, will I get the refund? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way ACT work for its Sponsored applicants, they showed a great deal during SMP process. I have sent Bank Statement of 1.5 million (23000$) . At that time 1.2 Million (20,000$) were required as proof of fund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fashionably Late Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 As far as I know, they will reject you if they find out you have applied to any other states as you aren't showing a real commitment to living there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stayer Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I sent an email to ACT Government with documents for verification of Limited occupation. My IELTS results are as follows R9 W7.5 L7.5 S7.5 I have 3 years Australian work experience recenty confirmed by Vetassess Hold 2 Masters degrees and 1 AQF4 Diploma currently waiting for 885 as Cat 4 They replied that because I don't have 8 in speaking on IELTS, they can not verify my documents. They did not mind it is 3 years old. My question is: is here anyone who is living in Australia currently and who received a positive verification from ACT? They say people currently living in Australia can not apply for SMP. I belive this is a non sense, just wondering if they stick with it. Thanks!

Actually, if I am not mistaken, I think that one of the criteria for those requesting for sponsorship from ACT and living in Australia should be currently living and working in ACT. I don't remember the number of years they should be working there but this is what I remember reading somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest perfectstranger Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I am currently ACT SMP sponsored and have been living in Canberra, ACT for the past 3 years. Living in Canberra and working with an ACT employer was one of the pre-requisites for onshore sponsorship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex2010 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Hi, I think the question should be if someone meeting ACT offshore SMP requirements but living in Australia is eligible to apply for offshore ACT SMP subclass 176? I don't see any problem unless ACT sees a problem. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljwalvin Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Hey guys, Not sure if this is a relevant question but it says you need 9 months of working experience before you'll be considered for an onshore visa. I am currently in Melbourne doing my internship as a trainee pharmacist. As such I have the questions below: 1)Would my internship hours count as work experience? 2)If I move to ACT now, the last 3 months of my 9 months work experience will be in the 2011/2012 program(and hence not sure if its worth moving to a state where I know no one at all)-When will ACT change the list and when will it come in place? 3)Are there any quotas for onshore pharmacist applications? 4)How's the job market like for pharmacists in the ACT? It seems pretty bad in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth at the moment due to the massive oversupply of students in recent years. Any comments would be deeply appreciated! Thanks!

JoRed4 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Hi.. I'm a little confused.. Are you supposed to apply for State Sponsorship before the SMP'S are released? My OH is a Landscape Gardener, he has passed his AQF III in Sept '10 & passed the TRA on 28th Nov '10. Our state of choice is South Australia... which typically hasn't been released yet! We are on the ACT list, so have obviously been looking into Canberra, which upon research seems really nice. Could we loose out by waiting for SA's SMP to be released?

You will have to decide where you wish to settle. If it is SA, you will have to wait for their SMP and pray that you are on their list. However, if you wish to settle in Canberra, then you will have to apply for ACT sponsorship. Please ensure that you do not apply to any other state as ACT want total commitment and your application can be refused in case it is found that you have applied to another state.
