Hi Ronald - yes of course! It started as two pages of quite small print! Once submitted they asked me to cut it down to under 7,000 characters (including spaces). Good luck, if I can be of any more help then please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest journeydownunder Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Hey SohcThey give high priority to applications with job offers.If you look at journeydownunder's details on page 2...You will see she had an offer in hand from an employer in Canberra and hence she had sponsorship results asap in a month :biggrin: regards Big Bob Just to add, although they had said they would process it quickly the priority status on the confirmation of receipt/ payment said normal priority so I wasn't sure if I would in fact get it, but they stayed true to their word and processed in a month. Good Luck everyone. Touch wood so far we have been very lucky, also our agent is very good and on the ball so that has helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pocahonta Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I´ll let you know when I get an answer.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrg Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I was expecting to hear back by 31st May - that would be our 60 working days but it looks like Orion 25 & Pocahonta, should have heard by now and haven't yet. Do we think there are some delays in processing SS applications ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Orion25 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 MRG Yip there are apparrently a few delays due to an influx of applicants and adding to this JA has been travelling a lot and is on her way again soon. So they are a little backlogged. We need an answer before 1 July so that we coan lodge before the changes, but then again I'm sure most of us are in the same boat. I will let you know as soon as we know when we get out SS. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pocahonta Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Orion Who is JA? How did you know about the delay? I´m worried because I don´t know if we have enough time to get into DIAC in case the SS was approved, you know new point system..........................

Big Bob Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hope so they are backlogged little...

sohc Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I think all of us should already anticipate the new point system. It is just a month away in case anyone is granted with a positive assessment will take another week to receive the letter. I talk to an agent before just to consult and double check. People who are worried about the new point system are mostly those who want to be sponsor by Relative as it will be remove by July 1. Those who are in state sponsorship should not worry especially if you have the following factors age work experience ielts 7 or 8 Good luck to all of us. Just to add in my application I also included pictures of my visit to ACT last August a great answer to personal research. Hope it counts in my application :v_SPIN: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sohc Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I see, I understand your situation mate. We're almost in the same boat Age: 27 Ielts: 7 each Work: 6 1/2 - ISP Provider 1st / IT Software Dev Consulting Company 2nd. My office mate here just got his SS from Vic approved last month. He also encourage me to apply though I wanted ACT as it's near Sydney where my brother and sister lives. Goodluck to all of us. Hope all turn to purple soon just like this smiley :v_SPIN: Just to add the agent told me that you can apply again for SS, they had an applicant where it got approved in the second try. I'm not that sure if it's true though they are a registered Australia Agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Orion25 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 ok, wow, JA and JO are he same person I just used a different abbreviation. I know about the delays because in Feb when she was here in SA and we chatted she told us that they were backlogged and there was a good chance our app would go over the 60 day deadline but she did say that we should have an answer in time to apply ti DIAC before 1 July. I haven't contacted her as my agent is dealing with her and she has said not to contact them as they are busy processing so many app's, so i will give it till end next week before I ask him to contact her as we need answers. Pocahonta, why don't you e-mail her to find out if there is any movement on your app? As I know a lot of people who have applied early Feb have answers already (according to my agent) T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
