Advice needed for 175 or 176 (please).

[smify]

Hi all,

My partner and I are currently deciding whether to go SA SS or Skilled independent 175,

we were just wondering is there a big difference in processing times between the two? We are looking to go as soon as possible if all goes well, but have heard that skilled independent can take years.

I have completed my vetassessment in plumbing and am currently awaiting my results in the IELTS.

We are just wondering if anyone has any advice for us and also what sorts of things you may have included within the SA state sponsorship application.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Leanne and Simon.

Processing times for visas change but generally 175 visas take longer than 176 visas.

Thats if your on the SS jobs list.

Well we applied for a 175 visa back in 2008 we got moved right down the processing table. we decided to go for ss in jan 2011 we now have our visas 176... so i would say if you want to get in quicker i would say go for the 176 visa..
