Guest The Fitz's Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I applied for a family sponsored visa 176 in Oct 2008. As things have changed my occupation disappeared from this skilled occupation list. Now it is back on the list eligible for state sponsorship, which could move me to cat 3. Can i just amend my family sponsorship and apply for State sponsorship? Would it have any bearing on the application now that i have moved age bracket ( now aged 40) and may not pass the points test because of this? Or is it still the case that when you submit your application for your visa the points are 'frozen' at that stage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris N Lora Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 Hi Chris n LoraWe are 2010 475 applicants , and my occupation is on the new WA list but i wondered if you would know if i would have to have a job offer in place to enable me to apply for state sponsorship ? I understand that you are on a different visa and so different limitations apply. Thanks Jason and Amanda Hi mandjay, The state is only offering to sponsor you to go to the state my wife never had a job offer we commited to WA for 2 years .... If your occupation is on the list then I would suggest you apply asap what with constant changes ... are you pre july 2010?. do you have an agent or are you doing your own app?

Chris N Lora Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Guys, can you estimate how many Cat 5 applicants became Cat 3?

cat4er Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 We have set up Cat 5 to Cat 3 look at link, only 7 have entered details so obviously not many on PIO Chris Hi it does not have to be many, based of what I know it might by about 10-20% of those who are waiting offshore, what is quite a large number, 5-10.000. I don't think there are many onshore who are elegible. And also many applicants do not have WA SS even if they are eligible, so it would take some time to get the papers organizes. Just trying to estimate if this is a considerable delay for Cat 5 Have a nice day, I am already having... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris N Lora Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Hi Cater, I do not think people moving from Cat 5 to Cat 3 will cause any delays to be fair. playing devils advocat, say there was 1000 offshore Cat 5 and then 100 move out into cat 3 like is happening fingers crossed when they come to do the Cat 5 later this financial year (still 8 months of it) then it would leave only 900 to be seen so techincally it will be quicker to get a CO if and when they start to look at them. at the moment the only people being slowed and doesnt seem that much is Cat 4 by some Cat 5 leap frogging them. Having a good day Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
