shefa Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Hi i have recently lodged eoi for WA state sponsorship under HR advisor. I have scored more than 7 each in ielts. And as it is under schedule 2 i need offer letter for invitation. I am unable to get that as it is impossible to convince employers to give offer letter without physically present there. Is there any way out of this..can someone help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkiwd Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I am afraid not, you just have to try and get a job offer. I think the jobs are on schedule 2 for a reason because there isn't the shortage for them that there used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikkiwd Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 There must be a lot of people sitting here looking for work in the same occupation hence only allowing people who have been offered work already a state sponsorship visa. WA's list is under review so there is a chance they may change it back to schedule 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 All you can do is keep applying, but it will be very hard / unlikely. From the employers perspective why employ you when there are plenty of good local candidates who can start immediately, where as they would have to wait months for you.

I have a job offer and submitted EOI WITH 60 points including state nomination. I emailed my job offer to WA migration but no use. But I spoke to the WA migration and they are saying that my job is on schedule 2, so there is a less chance for EOI invitation. What a great issue. So do not look for job offers in WA better to look for NT. Edited July 28, 2014 by Tata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiana Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Thats exactly my question , how to get job offer sitting here in india Hi shefa, My occupation is on schedule 2 as well. I've been applying for jobs since 2 months ago to no avail. Its hard when we don't have a valid visa yet. I hope you have better luck! Alternatively you could do a short course at any educational institute in WA on a study visa & scout for jobs while you are there? Its a huge gamble though. Actually, I am surprised you launched your eoi already as if you receive an invite to apply for State Sponsorship, you will have to produce an employment contract with 28 days. I haven't launched mine as for that reason. I also read this clause of "maximum of 2 invites" (see extracts below). I could be wrong, but I believe that as long as we respond to the invites, our eoi will still remain valid on Skills select even if we get rejected. That's what I hope at least. "If you receive 2 invitations and you do not lodge a visa application in response to either of these invitations, your EOI will be removed from SkillSelect. If you are unable to access your EOI for a length of time, then you can choose to suspend your EOI. While this will not extend the validity of your EOI it will stop you receiving invitations or contacts that you cannot act on, and will avoid your EOI being removed while you are, for example, on holiday and have received 2 invitations during that time." - Taken from Pg 7 of http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1406.pdf AND "If you receive two invitations in SkillSelect but do not lodge a valid visa application as a result of these invitations, your EOI will be removed from the SkillSelect database and will have to be formally resubmitted to be considered for future invitation rounds." Taken from - http://migrationblog.immi.gov.au/2011/12/13/skillselect-%E2%80%93-rankings-and-invitations-explained/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And hopefully your occupation wasn't affected by the review WA started on 3 July When did you send in your application? From my observations on this forum, a 190 visa can take anywhere from 3-6 months to get approved in general for both jobs in schedule 1 & 2. All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
