176 Family Sponsored to 176 State Sponsored
i have a couple of questions and request some expert guidance.
1. i understand that i can convert "175" to "176 State Sponsored" after i apply.
but can i also convert "176 Family Sponsored" to "176 State Sponsored" when i am granted State Sponsorship after i have applied to DIAC?
2. can i apply for 176 family sponsored after i have applied for state sponsorship and before i get the SS result.? or should i apply for State sponsorship after applying for "176 Family Sponsored" to DIAC.
thanks in advance

Yes, you can. I applied for 176 family sponsored then converted to 176 SS after I got the state approval
2. can i apply for 176 family sponsored after i have applied for state sponsorship and before i get the SS result.? or should i apply for State sponsorship after applying for "176 Family Sponsored" to DIAC.
I think both are possible, but you should inform DIAC with the change.
thanks in advance

Re: 176 Family Sponsored to 176 State Sponsored
Pharaoh, thanks a lot for your answer.
regarding the 1st point, i am happy to know that it is possible.
with respect to 2nd point, i have a further query.
incase i apply for State Sponsorship first and before getting the SS result, i apply for 176 Family Sponsored to DIAC, do i need to inform the State, that i have applied for PR to DIAC.
i intend to do so, because, i understand that State sponsorship application before applying to DIAC gets higher priority.
thanks

I remember that I read in other thread that someone has been refused by ACT because they found that he applied for multiple states, although he applied for the other states after he applied for ACT.
I'm not sure if it's the same case here, but you should be very careful with you decisions. I'm afraid they may consider it as dishonesty.
If you already lodged your Application to DIAC, you should give your application details and the TRN to the state when applying for their sponsorship. But, I believe that they give priority to applicants who haven't applied to DIAC.
When I applied to ACT sponsorship, they asked me to give reasons for why I need to change for state sponsorship. I answered very honestly and I granted my sponsorship as well as my VISA.

Why on earth do you want to complicate your case?

my only intention is to apply for SS first and then DIAC so that i can get the priority.
so my simple question is if after applying for SS, i immediately apply to DIAC, do i still get the priority?
thanks

If you have already got 120 points I would not bother with a state sponsorship for the small difference (weeks) it would mean to processing times. State sponsorships can take months anyway and there is all the paperwork, plus the inflexibility. If you can get a 175, then it is easier and you are better off in the end.
