Hi H,

We applied for Queensland State Sponsorship in May last year and heard back within about 3 weeks.
You will not need to pay a fee for applying for sponsorship. The whopping fee comes later when you apply for your visa.

Hope this helps.

I spoke to Migration and Skills Recruitment Queensland on Thursday and was told that until recently apps were being granted (or not) within a few days, however with the recent changes to priorities the number of apps received has increased exponentially and so he would expect an application to take a week but certainly no more than 2 !!! :thumbsup: fingers crossed !

Hi does anyone if they let you know by post or will they email you???

Re: QLD State Sponsorship - How Long?
 

I believe their paperwork says that if you give an email address you are giving them authority to contact you electronically - but I may have confused that with DIAC who definitely say that :o

Hi

I had an email back from them this morning. They recieved my application on 30th Jan. Not yet being processed. Looking to take between 2-3 weeks for processing times - so could be longer than 2 weeks unfortunately..... :unsure:

Can anyone provide the link for checking details on QLD state sponsorship.

Their website doesn't seem to have this info.

Also, what are the skills on QLD's eligibility list

Re: QLD State Sponsorship - How Long?
 

Take a look at www.workliveplay.qld.gov.au that should tell you everything you need to know :)

Hi,

Does anyboby know on what depends the decision of the QLD state to sponsor or not an applicant. Let's say you sent your form correctly, along with your skill assessment and that your occupation is on their list of course. In that case, is there any chance the application can be refused or do i have nothing to worry ?

Thank you
