Hi,

I need information on Western Australia state sponsorship. 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.

I have appeared for IELTS and I will get result on 23rd dec 2011. To apply for DIAC, I need 7 band each. I am not sure if I would be able to get 7 band each. (I assume, if I get 7 band each I will be able to apply for DIAC and I can work and live any where in AU). In case I don’t then I will apply for Western Australia state sponsorship, where I need 6 band each (which I am sure I will get).

My consultant says I will surely qualify for Western Australia state sponsorship. But I am not sure if she is giving me right information. Please let me know if I would be able to qualify for Western Australia state sponsorship or not? What is the criteria? Once I get approval from Western Australia state sponsorship, is there any other accessing authority or I will get the VISA directly?

My age: 29
Experience: 9 years in IT
IELTS: (Assuming at least 6 band each)

Please help, as I need information before I apply further.

Yes you will get through. IELTS all band 6 min would suffice.

Application fees 200 AUD.

Processing time : same day to 7 days max.

I have got WA SS and i got the approval in 2 hours after i have lodged the application. This state is fastest in processing the SS Applications. Please note the application is quite lengthy one and you may need to spend 2 hrs atleast to fill in all information (Phrases to be written on your own).

Refer this for you to know all about WA : For Western Australia Immigrants / Expats

Good Luck.

Hi

I was just wondering whether we have to show the proof of funds from the start or it might be asked at later stage?

Also which state requires less amount for "proof of funds". Victoria / NSW or any other

Proof of funds evidence is not required by SA and WA.

What about if applying through 175. Is there any proof of funds requirement in case of 175.

[MaddyOZ]

If you apply for SS, whatever the fund you are declaring that you will bring in later when you migrate should be adhered as you may have to sign in the declaration stating the same amount you had given in the application.

So irrespective of the proof is asked by the State Immigration or not, you have to declare the amount that you will bring in reality post PR approval. (It can be close to the approximate amount mentioned)

Good Luck.
