ACS cleared or not cleared confused?

[anj1976]

hi Vinay

ok if u have applied for 175 already, u can get a state to sponsor you and then convert form 175 to 176. but the processing of applications for state sponsorship by respective states takes longer thn those who have not applied yet. they claim 30 days for fresh apps and 60 days for those converting form 175 to 176

its your call, if u want to wait or apply, it makes no difference. if u apply for 175 and then convert to 176 the state sends a letter/form to the DIAC stating that the applicant has been sponsored and hence it converts form 175 to 176

u can show common account. in our case we have one saving account for me and my husband, then i have 3 accounts (all were salary accounts which i never bothered closing) plus one salary account for my husband. so all in all 5 accounts and the accumulative amount has to be over the minimum amount which was 30k in our case.

you have to send all docs for state sponsorship that u sent for ACS plus the ielts result and acs positive assessment letter as well as a 2 page commitment statement, more in the lines of an essay about the state, they just want to make sure you are genuinely interested in the state and are not going for it for the heck of it

yes your wife can work as well, everything is the same as PR, it infact is a PR visa. the only difference being, u staying and working at the sponsoring state for 2 years.

no its alright, i had all these doubt too, i read a lot plus asked here, so dont be sorry.

hope this answers. do give us a shout if u r stuck again

cheers

hi,
I am really confused whther to apply for 175 or 176 visa since for processing of 176 form it will take 2-3 yrs and wiht 176 form there is comittement of 2yrs in state what if we don't get job in that state....?

we are thinking of not to apply for any of thsese and dropping the idea of moving to australia since 3 yrs is long time for 176 form...i am still confused what shoudl i do since it involves lot of money in terms of visa fees.

Anjali, since you have applied for ACT state , your apppplication willbe processed wihtin 12 months right ..i too wish to apply for aCT but only concern is if i don't get job in thta state in my field what will happen ?

Regards,
Vinay Dave

vinay u cant give thing up because you feel it might not work. too many people are going ahead with it and are able to manage well. If you dont feel so strong about it, give it time but remember the more you delay your decision, you are loosing time.

I dont know what to say but in our case we knew it would take this long, isnt life all about experimenting and giving things a shot even if you know you might not make it. remember you always have an option of coming back. there is a lot of money and time involved but who knows what future holds for us.

[anj1976]

some say the world would come to an end in 2012, that doesnt mean we sit back and start spensing all that we have thinking, oh we wont be there anyways post 2012. go ahead with it. invest the money, yes take it as an investment and forget about it. keep doing what you are doing right now and when u do make it in a year or two years, decide if its worth it or not. atleast 5 yrs form now u wont regret that you did not try

Thanks Anjali,
your words have given me lot of confidence. ya your are right invest time and money and forget about it atleast i won't regret that i didn't tried. Hopefully we might get better job and life in australia after 2-3 yrs.

Just one more query, if i go with state sponsership it will be procesed within 12 months right (ACT Canberra).

If i go wiht 175, it will be 2 yrs minimum processing time .... according to me 175 is better option.

what you suggest which one should i go for 175 or 176?

vinay it depends, if u are in no rush, 175 it is for you but after a while the waiting gets to you and no one knows what happens in 2 yrs, they might get in new rules and make it more difficult. I dont know. as for processing of non CSl ss applications, i think it shoudl be a year but it is still not clear, one thing is sure that they will process it before they jump to MODL which i heard they plan to do soon. my logic says 6-9 months for my application but again, u never know what happens.

So you mean to say if i wish to land in australia within 12 months then i should go with 176 (state sponsership) and if i can wait then i should go with 175.

i think i will go with 175 visa , will trouble you more if i need any help in documentation for 175 visa filing ....

Can please let me know the link where document checklits is present for 175 visa ...



Thanks a lot
Vinay
