Hi Maddy,

I applied for ICT Skill assessment and my skills have been assessed to be suitable for migration under 261111 (ICT Business Analyst) in the month of October.

As I could not hit the sufficient score in IELTS, I applied for Western Australia state sponsorship, as I qualified to apply for it. I got the positive assessment for WUSS within 2 days.

My consultant had been filing papers for DIAC since Jan 5th and she completed uploading all the papers around last week of Jan.

Since then I have been eagerly waiting for the Case Officer to be allotted and still haven’t seen any sign of it.

I am curious and a little worried thinking how much time it would take for the Case Officer to be allotted? And how much time, it shall take once CO is allotted? I have seen cases of south Australia getting done pretty fast but not sure about WU.

For some reason my consultant is not ready to share TRN no with me, I have tried my best. They are saying its their company policy. Although, all the payments are made from my CC so I am pretty sure they are making the right payments.

So according to your experience and as you are living in WU, please mention your inputs. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Once your WA SS is approved and you have 65 points then you are eligible to file the 176 PR application. If your application was lodged in Jan5th ....by now 100% you should have got the CO.

Check the DIAC processing timeline weblink for the 176 applications case officer allocation. It will say until what date of lodged application the case officer has been allocated. With this information you can question the agent.

Good Luck!

Hi MADDY!
I want to know a information.Is it necessary to do state sponsorship by a migration agent?

What is the difference of applying with a agent or without an agent?

If anyone apply by his own , does the result comes lately?

Jamil...applying for a state sponsor or visa itself for that matter can be done by applicant itself...people use agents for many other reasons like they don't have time, they might want somebody to guide then throughout the process etc etc...

but in any case, the outcome or the time taken to give you the outcome does not vary...it is all the same

Hi Maddy!

I am confused about another thing....I have applied by an agent about one month ago for SS...the response of WA is very nice...they send quarries time to time as they are needed but my lawyer is not responding to all their quarries as one and a half month have passed......

I have talked to them(WA) several times that can I send answers all the questions by me,but they said,they expect to contact with my agent and send the answers by him...

Does WA allow to cancel me the previous application and do the new one?

or,can I do it again by myself without cancel the previous one?

please help me out from this prob as I can't understand what to do in this situation.

thanks.

State Sponsorship can be applied by self. I would say, Agent involvement makes the communication harder between WA migration dept --> Agent --> Applicant.

Most of the times from the forum users experience... it seems like the required information didn't reach the application correctly and the time goes in correcting the same back and forth due to the negligence of the agent while submitting the application / complete required information was not provided by the applicant to the agent.

Nevertheless now you have engaged an agent, so you have no option but to get this moved further. Check with him what exactly is the delay or you tell him that you can contact the WA migration dept directly to handle the queries.

Good Luck!

Why would you want to spend another 200 $ in a new application?
