Guest Ginjafro Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Our 176 was supposed to have been submitted to WA, the week beginning 7th May 2012, however we have still not had any news. At first we put it down to a rush of applications to beat the July deadline. However, the WA Government news site states the following: http://www.migration.wa.gov.au/skilledmigration/Pages/LatestNews.aspx "Current Processing Times 6:00pm WST - 22 June 2012 State Sponsorship Applications for State Sponsorship received on or before 15 June 2012 have now been processed. Please take the current processing time of 5 working days into account if you are planning on making an application to Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) on or before 30 June 2012." I have contacted them today and asked them to confirm if and when our application for state sponsorship was received and lodged? I don't expect a reply until at least Monday. Has anyone else had similar problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there we received a confirmation email the day we submitted our SS form to WA, the day after we received our SS (even though the website said 5 days processing time) all was confirmed by email.

Waitingawhile Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Hi Ginjafro- when you say supposed to have been submitted do you mean by an agent?-everyone who has submitted on this May thread for wa state sponsorship has heard back within a short time scale and at most two weeks! If so I would suggest you ask your agent what has happened and for the application number! You receive this when you apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else had similar problems? Hi I agree with JohnAli, most applications granted within a few days, some even hours. Ours were backin 2 days, we also are using an agent, but they kept us posted at every stage. I would be pushing your agent to find out whats going on, if they were any good they would have already investigated:biggrin: for you, especially with the deadline looming. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sharmagaurav Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Hey dear, sure this is from India. My wife has done MCA, MSc -IT, PGDCA. The story is that she did her PGDCA and then MSc IT with lateral entry into fourth sem. Then she went on for MCA into 5th sem. Her MCA certificate and degree has got a spelling mistake in her name in english. So I got letters from the college from where she did PGDCA and institute where she studied her MSc IT (Distance Education). The first foolishness I did was not attaching any degree/dmc with documents and send only the letters. Later I scanned her DMCs and Degrees for MSc and PGDCA and uploaded. Her MCA degree is yet to reach us even after 40 days [the reason people leave India]. the CO visited last week and okayed all other stuff except her English. She can get 4.5 bands but it will stretch case to after 20 July.Now for PCC. She was regularized in her post in last July. PSK girl told her that her PCC was done by her dept. but Police did not upload clearance stuff to their database, so they need to initiate fresh PCC request. Now she is on probation for two years and the department says that they cannot issue NOC to an employee on probation. I am afraid that if Police asks for NOC (though the guy took previous NOC we got when she applied for Passport in 2009, when she was contractual employee) it will be a big issue.Sorry for a long rant Dear trailblazer, please don't say it as rant, it gives a good snapshot of your situation.Now see as per english requirements for your partner is concerned i understand you don't want to stretch it till 20th july for ielts then i'll suggest you to look at Diac's site under 176 eligibility for secondary applicant for other ways to prove english language requirement. This option is only applicable if you are not claiming points for partner skills. Have a thorough read and i'm sure you'll have a way. Now coming on to PCC there are no guidelines which discriminates the state of employment i.e whether probationary or permanent for govt employees to be eligible for it. As far as NOC which was required back in 09 is mandatory as you/your partner applied for passport. If you still face any difficulty as per pcc best thing would be to get your local pcc from sp office and then make application at your nearest passport office. Hope this helps.

sh3p69 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Thanks guys for all the good luck, We are back from the spire... Well,a 1 hour and 45 minutes journey ended up been a 2 hours 45 journey. I think, the Olympic flame was been passed around somewhere around there, Well, i didnt do my home work for that one... Luckily we set off 2 hours early, and was going to have a quick look around there, But that never happened, But did get to see Manchester united's old trafford... The all thing was quick, but i had to have the hepatitis b blood test as i have tattoos (another £85, Buggers)... Did any one else have a medical there 2day. Did see a young family there and wondered if there on here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sharmagaurav Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 hey everyone, I've got something to share with all of you which I came to know today from registered MARA agent in Australia itself. If you've done online application for 176 and it shows just 2 lines as application fee received and application received then it means there's no CO allocated so far, however if there's a third line stating application being processed further its clear indication of CO being allocated. Another thing which she mentioned is usually co's don't mail unless they want some more information or clarification as per documents submitted. Last but not least, the last quarter is the busiest one for diac with applications mounting roughly 20-30k. Also updating docs stats is only done once co is contended with documents submitted by us. I hope all of you who are still awaiting for co allocation would love it now if there's 3rd line stating Application being processed further. Good luck everyone.

So will be printing that off 2moro and getting it ready to send...Hey sh3p69, as said by Jars another step closer towards the goal.....with AFP check it won't take long....max 10-12 days depending on your local postal services......mine took about a month as Indian postal services are famous for being actively lazy :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrdavies1981 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Did anyone get a grant today? All of our things were finalised on Thursday so I was hoping we would hear today!
