Re: Victoria SMP Update
They clearly mentioned in the eligibility list that they require IELTS to be done before launching the application with VIC. thats specific to some occupations and not for all. i applied today for 2231-79 ( network and security) without IELTS score. because they dont ask IELTS for my occupation.

Everybody is human so if you mention that you have got sponsorship already which is going to be expired on so and so...also if you mention that you were postitvely assessed earlier with this code and all---Any assessor will better understand your situation---This is just my personal opinion ..you may try this as it doesn't harm anyway---

Re: Victoria SMP (merged threads)
Good news and bad news: 
It's partially a good news that yes, I got a long email from Victoria with an excerpt of the following:
"Your application for Victorian Government visa sponsorship under the 176 - Sponsored scheme has been assessed under these new arrangements and we are pleased to advise that your application is successful."
It is our assessment that there is currently a demand for your experience and qualifications in Victoria, Australia. You have also assessed yourself as meeting the requirements of the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) Skilled – Sponsored visa scheme.
I guess I would be one of the first in the IT field to get the successful email. However, my ACS just expired last March 16, which was 2 days ago!
The state sponsorship is only valid for 4 months. If I lodge another ACS application, it will take another 3 months, and who knows what delays it might bring.... I've running out of other options... Please advise, guys

Re: Victoria SMP (merged threads)
Hi,
We have just completed our application for SS as an accountant (husband).
He has received a positive assessment, but we are still waiting for the documents to be posted. We have decided to apply without the documents and will add them later.
Are there any other accountants applied for sponsorship?

email from SMP..after funds amount submitt..
hi guys i just submitt my available funds a day before to smp.
and i recieved this reply.....
Thank you for the information you sent to the Victorian Government's Skilled and Business Migration Program. The reference number is SS-2011-00455. The nominated occupation is 262112 ICT Security Specialist.
The application will be processed and reviewed for Victorian Government nomination. To be eligible for sponsorship by the Victorian Government an applicant must first have an occupation on the Victorian Government Sponsorship Eligibility List. The eligibility list is an indication only of those occupations in demand in Victoria and having an occupation on this list does not guarantee sponsorship.
The Skilled and Business Migration Program has no legal authority to deal with migration requirements or points required for migration. Any questions regarding migration beyond Victorian Government sponsorship should be directed to the Australian Government’s Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC). See the DIAC website www.immi.gov.au for more information.
The Victorian Government is currently finalising procedures in obtaining industry feedback for ICT occupations, and unfortunately this has meant a delay in the processing of all ICT applications. We are unable to provide an estimated processing time.
We apologise for this delay and will have a decision for you as soon as possible.
so wats next,,how long i have to wait for next email..

Re: email from SMP..after funds amount submitt..
6th Jan and my ref number is SS-2011-001XX which means between 6th Jan and 25th Jan, there were approx 350+ apps submitted 
And yep, please don't post reference numbers or other personal info here on the forums. You can mask the last two digits at least.
Good luck with the SS!!
