Hi everybody,
we are on cloud one. Two days ago I got the approval of my sponsorship for the 475 in NSW. And that after not even 3 weeks. On Aug 8th I applied and on 31st it was approved! Now we can start approaching the next steps on our way to Australia. Wowwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!

Congratulations on your SS approval.

The expression is "cloud nine" though, not cloud one.

We have also applied NSW. We had to submit by post (snail mail). Did you receive acknowledgement and approval via email?

Thanks

Yes, we received approval via mail, but we also applied via mail, cause they said they prefered the papers to be sent via mail.

Congratulations, that's really great news. Could you tell me which subject you teach please?

musicalfever4

Thanks,
well, here I teach English (as a foreign language) and music, but I don't expect to teach English after migration, will rather be German (LOTE) and music and maybeeeeee ESL, but I don't know about that.

Thanks Petra.
We received confirmation of receipt via email. Now we hope for approval.
Did it take 3 weeks for they physical letter to reach you or email confirmation?
Here in South Africa, mail can be really slow, when we were waiting for skills assessment the letter remained in one Post Office for about 5 days before moving.

Well, all in all it took 3 weeks, I sent everything via mail on August 8th and on August 31st I had the approval in my mail box. We didn't get any approval via normal post, only via email, the sponsorship certificate was added in the attachments, nothing else. I printed it for me, but I never got anything in real paper.
Wish you all the best for your application. When and where in NSW did you apply? Our sponsorship is "just" for a 475, so temporary and regional. It's not a sponsorship for a 176 or so. Maybe there it is different.

Petra
