Hey happ, today i got mail from them asking why would i prefer to live in their state in spite of having family connections in other state because i mentioned i have a cousin living in WA. Did they ask you any such questions?

Hey dream...

No, i was not asked any questions... But i guess, just because u have mentioned about ur relatives outside vic, they would have doubt on your stability in vic....

If you can provide them enough reasons that u are not merely going there to be close to ur cousin and you have ur own prospects...job etc... It shud be okkay..

U wud need to provide them examples of the kind of job u are looking there and make sure that intend is to live and work in vic.

There was someone on this forum who was asked certain questions from vic... And he had posted all his responses in the forum itself...try to find that...it may be of some help to u.

thanks Harpeet. I thought giving references of someone in AUS will strengthen my application but at last it ended up as a trouble for me!
yes i saw in same thread someone replied with their write up. i will refer that.
BTW, how is ur 176 app going on?

Sure.. search for it.. atleast you would get some hints of style of writting for such purpose. the more info you get, better it is.

I Haven't yet applied for 176.. waiting for a couple of documents. I would apply in first or second week of december

Hey...

I was going through the DIAC form (for 176) and at one point it asks to chose the sponsorship we got from state from a drop-down list. There are a lot of "Vic" options, which one is the one i should select?

What i could guess was "Vic Innovation and development" one, as the similar was written on the email i received. But there was nothing in the drop-down that matched exactly what was written in the email.

Yes, DIAC SS options are not updated yet in the application for some states still. The same case with WA too. So choose the one that is relatively close to the department that is appearing in the approval letter.

Good Luck.
