Carlos fandango Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Can we change at this stage from sponsored family 176 visa to ss visa? Penny If the main applicants occupation is on the relevant states SMP list and they meet all the criteria that particular state stipulate to gain sponsorship with them, I believe you can apply for sponsorship and if approved would push you upto a Cat 2 position regardless of whether you already have family sponsorship........

Proview220 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 No we havent but could be an idea we are wanting to go to NSW as family there who will help us what do you have to do to go state sponsored?:jiggy: look at your state, NSW to see if they are still giving ss, if so look to see if your trade is on their SMP state migration plan, if so you are in with a great chance of getting your visa a lot quicker than your current status. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mikeskinner1272 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 It may be quicker to get a sponsor in QLD if you go down the 457 route, if you go down sponsor ENS121 or RSMS119 you will still be looking atleast 12 months....I'm currently ens 121 sponsor and at the present time, sponsor application is a 6 month back log, you then enter your application and that can take upto 7 months for an answer. Just beware....WA seem to be getting through quicker. Cheers. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get copies of your city and guilds...I finished mine in 1992 and got them from C&G....I paid £34 for them. It took about 8 weeks to turn up....All I had to do was put in my details, college, year, trade.....send an enquiry to www.archiveservices@cityandguilds.com or phone them on 02072942789 I used them in 2009...

Have you spoken to an agent? hubbie did an apprentice but the company he worked for went bust so he never had it signed off or something. anyway,we never had the paperwork either but an agent sorted all this out. Having said that he did have some/all payslips. I can't quite remember the details but we are the same age so no details were on record. Talk to an agent who knows what hes doing.
