Re: Victoria SMP (merged threads)
Hi, is this an extract of the email they sent informing your rejection? or is this a reply mail from VIC for a fund related query that you asked them? How have you concluded that insufficient funds are the reason for rejection?
is there an appeal to the decision made by Vic Gov for SMP? I just got an email today that states my result, and unfortunately, i was unsuccessful due to insufficient funds. i only stated during my application just an estimate of how much i will be bringing. they also stated there that:
The Victorian Government considers whether applicants have sufficient financial resources to establish themselves and their dependents in Victoria while they seek employment. As the funds required differ depending on individual circumstances, the Victorian Government does not specify the minimum amount of funds required. Also considered are any connections with Victoria through family, friends, previous travel, study or employment.
I have an immediate relative living in Melbourne. And they are much willing to support me financially. Do you think if I write to them, they will consider my application?

Please quote Reference Number : SS-2010-02XXX in all of your communication to us.
How can they base the funds we stated if they didn't require us in the first place about any documents to show that we are financially capable to move to Victoria. To be honest, it's my bad, that I only stated around 5000AUD which I plan to bring if we move there. I could've stated more like the cost of our car, our house if we plan to sell it. But like I said, I have a brother living in Melbourne which is more than willing to support us while we seek employment without having to sell our properties in our home country.

Re: Victoria SMP (merged threads)
You should have done a research of how much the states who specify the amount require applicants to declare - i think 5000 AUD is way too less, I guess VIC is smart enough not to specify an exact amount..
when skill is an issue, they indicate something like the email that is on the below post:
http://britishexpats.com/forum/showt...596277&page=65
This result email indicates it is the fund issue, hard luck
I am not aware of any appeal procedure for VIC other than a re-try in another 6 months or so.. good luck..by the way when did you apply?

But, in my opinion, they wouldn't ask this in the first place if it is not one of their criteria.
If I understand it correctly, the govt will not provide financial support for 2 years and you should be sulf-sufficient during that period. I guess it is a lesson learned for the others.

Re: Victoria SMP (merged threads)
For instance, if im not wrong, NSW requires 25K for individual and $5 K for additional family member..this should give you a fair idea of their expectations.. if not equal, I beleive it should be comparable..

Re: Victoria SMP (merged threads)
To be honest I'm not sure it is just the funds issue - if you read the passage I have put in bold it mentions support and commitment as well. We have seen people on BE rejected by Victoria in the past when they haven't demonstrated enough commitment to the State - not financially, but as an overall position. Much the same email has been received by people who have applied to another State as well - Victoria considers that if you apply to more than one State you are not seriously committed to living there. Did you provide plenty of other proof of commitment to the State? Research in to jobs, housing, schools, general lifestyle for example?

also, mischevious has quoted an obviously low amount, so it almost clear although it may be arguable

Re: Victoria SMP (merged threads)
i've sent them all the support and commitment they require me too. in fact, i only applied SMP in victoria since this state is my first priority to move in, in case i'd be given a chance to migrate. i guess, it's really a hard luck.

Re: Victoria SMP (merged threads)
VIC does not ask for any of the research and details like many other states.. and also, they do not send the same rejection email template to everyone..here they have indicated the fund, whereas they have indicate skill shortage as reasons in other rejection emails such as this one:

They probably don't send the same to everyone, I was just looking from the broader perspective, that even if the money had been there I didn't know how much research/evidence miss-chievous had produced on other fronts The fact that they mention support and commitment as well as resources just made me wonder, thats all......

I think you should clarify them that you applied for Software Tester so they make a correction to this mistake. Remember, their online system has shown many bugs and this may be one of them. IMO, don't hesitate to reply to this email and request for correction/clerification.
Thank you for your email. The file has now been updated with the new information.
It might be due to another technical issue so for others, keep a look out on your applications if it is the correct occupation
