A guide to 'Victoria's Skilled State Sponsorship' application

[TheRealBumbleBee]

Wish you all a very happy new year!

I was just curious, has anyone received SS for applications lodged after first week of December? I lodged mine in the first week and still haven't received any result. I was suspecting it is due to the festive season that things are moving a little slow.

Thanks
BB

oh man...you should have not quoted anyone you know outside Vic. I did the same mistake and got a mail from them about that write-up.
write in general about Vic, melbourne, life there, education, transportation, security etc, your professional prospects and how you plan to get a job etc. google and search in this forum you will see a lot of samples. good luck

even i though so and i referred my friend outside vic and got into this trap. i came back to this forum and wrote in various threads on this one ...probably you didn't used this forum efficiently jus kidding...better do lots of research on others experience before proceeding to next step so that you are aware of traps.

look in page 1 and 2 of this thread. i used those info and came up with an essay of 3-4 page under various sections and hope it worked as i got my ss grant.

Anybody applying for Victoria State Sponsorship?

Congrats Dreamaus!! You have now moved a step closer to the PR.

If you don't mind, can you please list out the documents you submitted for the SS & your skill code?
