Question [URGENT] Please help regarding State Skilled Sponsored

Dear All,

I am qualifying for Immigrant Visa 176 (State Skilled Sponsored) under ICT Business Analyst Category. I want to do it from Queensland state. As per my understanding, steps are as follows:

1. Get IELTS score (already have 6.5 avg and at least 6 in each)
2. Get ACS confirmation (it takes around 3 months. I can apply for it by end of this month)
3. Get State Sponsorship
4. Once step # 3 is done then apply for DIAC immigration (final immigration step).

I have following queries:

a. How much time a State takes in sponsorship process? Any idea specifically to Queensland state?

b. Can I initiate 'State Sponsorship' and 'Immigration process with DIAC' in parallel? Or step#3 is pre-requisite for DIAC?

c. I want to apply under current point system means before 30th June 2011. Is it possible to get it done with ACS + State Sponsor and then apply for DIAC Immigration in this time frame?

Thanks a lot

I have moved your thread to the immigration forum where you might get a quicker response, but if you really want something that urgently you might be better consulting - and paying - an agent.

What exactly is urgent about that? You are more likely to tick people off and get less answers than get "urgent" ones.

You need state sponsorship before you lodge your visa application. Check the states websites for processing times, it varies.
