Skilled Independent Migration PR Visa - Subclass 175 (One Stop Guide/Experiences)

[Hyd2Aus]

Thanks Anjali, now I got it . I will plan on making the arrangements for funds proof before starting the SS process. Also, PCC should be at DIAC only...am I correct? Unfortunately, I need to get it from 3 countires - UK, USA and India...so obviously time taking and painful and hope to have them ready by the time SS is done.

Do you know anyone is Melbourne who may be working on software testing field...may be ur husband knows...who can advise about the opportunities in Melbourne and can give some clue on Adelaide market too? I have been doing research on it already but thought to check with u also for more reliable info.

Thanks again, Sri

About rent, you can get anything from 300+ per week, we pay 330 per week at a suburb Box Hill, takes 30 mins to the city, not very far i'd say as compared to other eastern suburbs, it is a unit with 2 rooms, one bath, one toilet, laundry, a small back and front yard. Dining and Living, Ducted heating and an aircon. if you compare adelaide and mel, Adelaide will come much cheaper than Mel but the salaries are higher here as well, the cost of living is proportionate to the salaries one gets in almost each city, end of the day you save as much in Brisbane as you save in say Melb or Sydney. Choose the area that has jobs in your field and the state that you like weather wise because that is what matters the most, everyone gets a job eventually but one has to like the place and the weather to really be happy.

Hi Anj..

Thanks for clarifying.. but wat if we are directly going through 175? would DIAC still not want to see the funds proof?

Thanks again!

In such a case I thought that a self decalaration on a stamp paper with couple of references from the company shall suffice.

Kindly suggest.

Thanks,

Yep it will suffice....

There is a note in PASA guidelines on this.....so you are good to go.....

I kind of know that I may not require to have a 'Letter from the University to certify that the language of instruction was 'ENGLISH''. Still want to double check on this. Could someone please verify this fact?
For gaining / qualifying points (for 175 application) I am anywhich ways going to give IELTS.

Please suggest.
Thanks for all the support seniors,

Hope this helps.

Can i just check does this mean you are tied to a state for 2 years but after that you can stay in Aus and work in any state, therefore a perm resident?

Hi netball,

The statement is talking about 'commitment to the state' or obligation which one needs to meet if one applies for subclass 176 visa (state sponsored). The person will be a PR (during the 2 year period also), its just that he needs to work in a particular state for 2 years before he can move to another.

Its occupation list just plainly says available.......I think I might have read somewhere that WA requires 7 years work-ex.

Can someone clarify or quote the source here for the eligibility requirements to apply WA SS
