paris hipon Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Hi guys may I just ask since im planning to apply for ss in wa, does all my documents need to be certified? And do I need proof of funds just like other states usually they require $20,000 aud but in the wa website i cant find any stating how much is the proof of funds. Also, im applying for architectural draftsperson occupation since the ielts requirement is lower like only 6 band in all parts, though im an interior designer, i do have 3 year relevant work experience as an archi draftsman so i hope there will be no problem for that.

Guest dinaincontact Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hi, I have 60 points age 32 yrs - 30 Points study (Bachelor) - 15 Points (Graduate) Experience, 8 Years - 15 Points IELTS 7 (L-8,R-7.5,W-6,S-6)-0 Points Everyone knows that pass mark is 65 points. As of now am I eligible to apply for State sponsorship to Western Australia? If i got sponsored means my points goes from 60 to 65. So can I apply in Subclass 176? Am I right. I have positive skills assessment outcome for mechanical engineer. Please guide me. Dinesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paris hipon Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 thats correct. but i think most of the states now have a requirement of an ielts grade of overall 7 even though you have 65 points in all they still need you to take the ielts and achieve the ielts state reqt. you can check each state what is their ielts requirement but from what i read before i think its 7.

Guest dinaincontact Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Thank you, I have checked the website, They say that the minimum requirement is competent english, It means Band 6 right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azim Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 As from July 1, 2011 for Skilled migration you must score minimum 7 in all bands of IELTS and if you don't there is no chance no matter how much points you score without it. All your documents need to be certified for skill assessment, I just sent all my documents for assessment on 10th including original "IELTS" report and that's a requirement now. I don't think you need to show proof of funds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msbds Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Hi, we're the same as papasmurf - we've just got WA sponsorship too - we gave an estimate of how much we would have available after selling house, cars, motorbike etc but were never asked to show proof.

Guest Oliveero Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hi msbds and papasmurf (or anyone in WA on a SS visa!), There is a line in my State Sponsorship Agreement from WA (that came with my SS approval) saying that I have to transfer X amount into WA as part of my committment to the state. My application detailed my savings, and also mentioned the equity I have in my house. The amount to transfer into WA is the total amount including equity. I am now concerned as this figure was an estimate (as house prices always are) but now I appear to be committed to selling my house before I move and putting the estimated figure into WA. How stringent is this? I'm wondering if there is need to prove the transfer of money into WA. Will immigration need a bank statement upon arrival??

Guest Oliveero Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Well I've just got the answer to my own question by calling the number on my WA State Sponsorship Approval letter. I was told that the letter saying 'you must transfer X amount' into WA is simply there to demonstrate that WA have notified you that you will need funds once you get there. It's designed to cover WA in the eventuality that you have money trouble etc. The figure that they include in that line of the agreement is whatever you put on the application form. It seems that lower figures get questioned so that they can ensure you understand that you can't "just turn up with 10 bucks in your pocket" (quote from WA rep). Higher figures don't seem to get questioned - as mine wasn't. The guy I spoke to this morning said that if the figure is higher than I'm comfortable with, not to worry, as no checks are made and I WILL NOT need to show a bank statement detailing the amount mentioned. He also said that they have had plenty of feedback similar to mine and that they are planning on removing that line from the agreement. I hope this info helps someone else in the future.

msbds Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Hi Oliveero, sorry didn't get beck to you yesterday, but I couldn't find the thread! Glad you got sorted with your question, and once again my apologies - I know how frustrating and confusing all the different stages can be. Good luck, Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
