Hi and welcome to the forum.
I sure you'll find the forum very addictive and very informative.
We too are applying for SIR visa. We are waiting for our skills assessment to come back and then we will apply to South Australia for sponsorship.
Have you had your skills assessed yet? If not then I would get it sorted asap. The TRA are taking 4-6 months and that is paying extra for fast track.

For SIR you need to have a positive skills assessment before you apply for sponsorship.
