Changing from Relative Sponsorship to State Sponsorship
Hi,
If we lodge a DIAC application under 176 visa sponsored by a relative, can we later switch to a state sponsorship under the same visa? State sponsorship takes long and you need to lodge your VISA application after the state sponsorship is received. However, while my VISA application under 176 is in process and I receive the state sponsorship say after 4 weeks following the 176 VISA application, can we change that and submit our state sponsorship.
Can you please provide any references to confirm this? Thanks for any help relevant to this, in advance.

Re: Changing from Relative Sponsorship to State Sponsorship
The short answer is no. If you now want to move to SS then it's a new application. Can't find the original DIAC link but it has been discussed on here before. It was possible before but not post 1Jul 10.

Re: Changing from Relative Sponsorship to State Sponsorship
Thanks. I have just confirmed this myself. This has just happened after July 2010. Migration conditions are ridiculous indeed. What difference does this make, if the quota is not already filled, this should be possible. I am meeting all requirements and will probably just depend on relative sponsorship.
