Hi All,

I am wondering if anyone in this forum had applied for State Sponsorship with Northern Territory?

Please share the experience.

Thanks.

ohh....they take close to 8 months to process? That seems too much of a waiting time...

You are based out of Darwin now? Can you pl. tell me the scope of IT market out there in NT based companies?

Regards,
Mani

yes the standard process takes 30 weeks. I would say NT is not good for IT professionals like Syd/Mel, however its un-employment rate is lowest in Aus.

Anyone applied for SS for SA since it reopened last month and received a response yet?

I'm on a race against the clock to hopefully get a positive response so I can lodge my onshore visa...

They might take up to 8 weeks to finalise the decision. My occupation is now having "Medium Availability" so waiting....

I applied in July 19 and got my Approval on 8th August, what I know is that applications for August have slowed down, we got ours in a record of 22days after being received at SA. That was the average for August applicatns gues there were no much applications by then hence the fast processing.
