immig Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Dear All, I know this is not the correct thread to ask this question but really appreciate if someone give me the answer. I have applied for 176 online visa on 8th March 2012. Co is not assigned yet. I have PCC request showing for me as well as for my wife....I applied for my PCC but is it required for my wife also?... Did anyone submitted the PCC for his wife?.. I think PCC is required for everyone in your application above 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinny1275 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hi Fabregas, Yes, everyone requires a PCC check (and a medical) - it would be a bit of a loophole not to check everyone coming in..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob36 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Just wondering how everyone sent payment to for their NSW sponsorship?

msvayani Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Just wondering how everyone sent payment to for their NSW sponsorship?They only seem to accept bank orders or money cheques, both are which are very hard to get hold of in AUD in the uk! I asked similar question to the NSW guys and they replied as the following: Thank you for your enquiry. Unfortunately there is no credit card, debit card or paypal facilities. All payments are ONLY accepted either by bank cheque or money order in Australian dollars. NSW Trade and Investment Business Migration and Industry Skills Level 48 MLC Centre 19 Martin Place Sydney NSW 2000 GPO Box 5477 Sydney NSW 2001 9338 6692 (tp) 9338 6728 (fax) ---------------------------------------------------------- Dear Sir/Madam, This is regarding the mode of payment for the NSW State Skilled Sponsorship Application (Subclass 176). I have positive skills assessment and required score in IELTS. Now I wish to apply for NSW state sponsorship. You website states that you only accepts payment in the form of Bank Cheque or Money Order. Unfortunately, my bank does not deal with AUD. They can create Foreign Demand Draft (FDD) for USD, GBP, or EURO. In Pakistan, other third parties (like Western Union) are not allowed from Government of Pakistan to create FDDs for Foreign Companies or Organizations. Although, they can create FDD in the name of any individual. Please advise what should I do in this situation. If you accept payment in any other form (I-e Credit Card, Paypal, etc) I would be happy to do that. Looking forward to hear from you soon, Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msvayani Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I have applied for NSW SS on the 8th May. Just wondering how much time NSW is taking these days to take decision on a sponsorship application. I am a bit worried in the sense that I have to apply before 30th June deadline. Don't know if there is enough time to get the response from NSW. Anyone recently applied for NSW SS, please share your timeline. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone recently applied for NSW SS, please share your timeline. Thanks NSW is pretty fast in granting the SS decision. The maximum time is taken to receive the decision letter in mail. Other than that they make their decision usually in 2 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubbe2005 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 so by the look of it, processing takes about 4-6 weeks? I will be sending off my application end of this month. Have to get documents certified first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahona Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 so by the look of it, processing takes about 4-6 weeks?I will be sending off my application end of this month. Have to get documents certified first. Hey All, i'm new to this forum...and my problem is: i've applied for NSW state sponsorship on Dec'12 and all of my docs received by NSW (as per DHL tracking) on 10th Dec'12. but still now i didn't receive any email notification/acknowledgement from their end. I'm very much tensed whether everything is ok or not. :confused: At least they should confirm me that they received the payment and my application in under process. can't remember, i read from other forum that it takes 6-8 weeks to receive the outcome. but what was their acknowledgement time?? is there anyone having problem like me? thanks in advance for reply.

gtaark Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Do we get an email confirmation first for approval or directly thru postal mail OR BOTH? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahona Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Do we get an email confirmation first for approval or directly thru postal mail OR BOTH? as per previous communication of this thread, i came to know that NSW acknowledged them after receiving documents and regarding payment confirmation within 1 week (for some cases). that's why i'm bit tensed what's going on now?? almost 1months+ have passed my docs sent and if i exclude the cristmas vacation it's around 2-3 weeks elapsed but no response from their end yet.

I just copy and paste here : The following non-refundable application fees must be paid by bank cheque or money order payable to Industry & Investment NSW and enclosed with your application. A fee of $330 including GST is payable. Applications received from offshore applicants are from the GST component. The fees for these applications will be $300.00.

deryck Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Thank you! Unfortunately I knew that but it seems impossible to make that kind of payment from Italy!!!! Anyone knows if they accept something like moneygram?western union? O something I could do using the web! It's so strange that no payment is possible with credit card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbe2005 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Thank you! Unfortunately I knew that but it seems impossible to make that kind of payment from Italy!!!! Anyone knows if they accept something like moneygram?western union? O something I could do using the web!It's so strange that no payment is possible with credit card ask your bank if they can make an international money draft (there may be a fee). I was able to pay thru my brother who lives in Aus who exchanged money at aus post and also mailed my application for me. Without his help I'm not sure how I would have paid for my application (I am here in the US). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I heard directly from NSW themselves was that they are processing early NOVEMBER applications. And they are being inundated with new applications everyday!
