hoorayhenry Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hi everyone How easy is it to get state sponsorship? Can you apply to more than one state - in the hope that one will like you?!! Anyone know how long the process takes. THanks HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest custom migrate Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hello You can apply to more than one state. Depends on your skills, etc as to how long it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoorayhenry Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Thanks very much for that - have any other PIO's applied to multiple states? HH x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilliantay Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Hi, I have applied to Victoria for their skills migration programme - been 7 weeks and still waiting although it does say on their fact sheet that it can take up to 8 weeks. Going to Vic as that is where my sister is (should I say hoping to go to Vic) Gill Are you thinking of going down this route ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoorayhenry Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 Hi Gill Thanks for that, I'm sort of looking at all possibilities really. Does anyone know if you can apply to more than one state for sponsorship? Also, anyone know if I can apply for permanent visa whilst I've got a 457 employer nomination visa being processed? Thanks everyone! HH x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks everyone! HH x Hi, Yes, you can apply for a PR visa while you've got a 457 being processed, as long as you declare this on the relvant forms. Theoretically, you can apply for state sponsorship from more than one state. However, as you are meant to be genuinely dedicated and interested in living in the state to which you apply, (and not just because it will get you into the country), this is somewhat complicated by applying to more than one state..... Your skill must be on the STNI list for the state in which you apply as well. I assume you are talking about a 176 visa, not an SIR? Best, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
