Arshad Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Hi Friends I am not active on this forum but regular follower. My brief story is i applied in july 2008 under FS176 as my sister is in Australia. While waiting like all of us have gone through lot of changes in life. I am currently in Canada with PR. I have to go to Australia for family reasons so my ask is your advice on following scenario. I was in Melbourne for 2 weeks for cricket world cup and met well known Immigration Lawyer and she has told me my application's current situation is uncertain so the best thing is to get state sponsor visa and give IELTS again and i have chance to speed up. Please give me your advise as i trust all of your opinion here as we all value what we have gone through over the years. Thanks TR If you are serious about moving to OZ, are eligible for state sponsorship and have the funds to apply again and sit IELTS, then definitely go for it. the 176 situation is uncertain, don't know when or if we will be processed. I am hopeful because there is nothing else i can do, i would have gladly spent more money on applying again because you can always earn more money but you can't get many chances and time spent is time gone! But my profession is not on the list that allows independent visa application and not on any state sponsorship list so my only chance/hope is to wait. I would have given up on 176 long ago if I could have.... If you can, then do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celeste Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I bet there will no visa placed allocated for a single 886/176 in this financial year based on the statement below: "The Migration Programme planning level for the Skilled Nominated category now has limited number of places left for the 2014-15 programme year." DIBP wants us to give up. But we won't give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Particular state mentioned that old applicants are not eligible for state sponsorships I think you are talking about converting our existing 176 FS to 176 SS. what i meant was that you have to apply again altogether, forgeting the old 176 application, apply for assessment, state sponsorship from states that do offer them (the link you posted shows only ACT having no qouta till June 2015, will open again in July) sit IELTS apply on Skillselect i guess under 190 visa or whatever option still remaining.

sigmaz Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Hi, one of my friends applied August 31 496 got CO. That means it is the end of 496, confirmed. Hi Mr. Rahul i am 496 applied August 30, 2007 but still no CO yet, which means 496 is still not finish yet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahulpatel1969 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Usually it takes a 15 day gap between CO allocation and notification to you. Could be they have allocated but not informed you. Keep your patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sigmaz Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Sigmaz, do check with your agent if u have used one, he might be sitting on it. Yes that's what i am about to do, I am starting to get worried because many 496 already are given CO's and granted visas while i still don't have mine specially when an August 31 applicant had his CO already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
