HI Dance

So far I made about 20 Salary slips and work references letter and contacts, Tax return with Form 1276 and form 80
. I have to apply for paper base as there is no option for the relative spencer category in the online form.

Why relative sponsor when you can just apply for 887 independently? Apologies for my assumption but I'm just wondering why?

Janaka

When you start online application it shows a question

https://www.ecom.immi.gov.au/visas/app/uu/cs


Skilled - Regional (Class VB, Subclass 887) application requirements To be eligible to be granted a General Skilled Migration visa, you must have already taken steps to meet certain requirements and obtain documentation before you lodge your application. If you do not meet the requirements below, you may not be able to be granted a visa.
________________________________________
Regional Australia Have you lived for at least two years and worked full time for a total of one year in one or more specified regional area?
Once you click specified regional area its shows only regional Australia' or a 'low population growth metropolitan area’ option.
That is if you are being nominated by a participating state or territory government, you must agree to live in regional Australia or a low population growth metropolitan area.

But I have being sponsored by an eligible relative; so I must also agree to live in a designated area of Australia which is not including in online application.
So I have no choice other than going for paper base

Aah, I see now!

My work history is a little complicated: I've started off in Adelaide but couldn'nt find job there. Moved to ballarat in VIC (regional area) worked there in couple of jobs for couple of months and both full time casual work. Then moved to Geelong VIC (another regional area) and worked there until every staff was made redundant and company went offshore. Then moved to Bendigo (another regional area) and now I'm here completing this full time work requirement. DAMN it's been really hard for me all these years but now I'm just 15 days away to apply for 887-PR.

Forumers, your suggestion needed here:

Do you think will all the above movement along the different regional areas complicate things? I've got all proofs and everything? Suggest me if you can please?

how did u apply for VF 475 State or territory nomination or sponsored by an eligible relative ? Did you notify both your current and new state or territory government of this change ( you have to do thi only f you are being nominated by a participating state or territory government)

dance123

State nomination from SA but I'm in VIC at the moment. I've advised both states about this move.

Janaka

Then its shouldnt be a prb

dance123

Please click this link.

The following is clearly written on their website (follow the link above):

If you wish to move to another regional area to live and work, you must notify both your current and new state or territory government of this change.

I think after that, it shouldn't be a problem. Should it?

Janaka

I think you are allright. Make sure to keep all evidence that you have informed them and if possible attaché along with your application

dance123

I was thinking about not attaching but now, you are making me think twice about it. I have the evidences, might as well attach it, I think!
