Form 47Sk - STNI Victoria
I have been reading this forum for a while now but this is my first post, so hope to get some good advice.
I am currently filling out form 47sk and wanted to get some feedback that I am actually applying for the correct visa.
I have applied to the Victoria government and been accepted for state sponsorship. In the acceptance letter it states:
"You and your family should now apply for either the Skilled Independent visa or the Skill Matching visa. The State/Territory Nominated Independent Scheme (STNI) is a component of both of these visas."
In question 2 of form 47sk, I propose to select the visa as "Skilled - State/Territory Nomination Independent (Class BN, subclass 137). I assume that this is correct,
but just hoped that someone else who has gone through the process could confirm this.
Also, as I already have the STNI from Victoria, I am correct in assuming that I can leave the skills matching details blank?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You are correct in applying for Class BN, subclass 137.
In the Skills Matching section of 47SK I just put 'N/A' in box 63 and left the rest blank.
