Due to the increased number of applications being lodged for Skilled Sponsored (Residence) visa (subclass 886), the State Migration Centre (SMC) is unable to answer general enquiries in regard to the progress of applications.
If an application has a critical date please highlight this at time of lodgement. If you have engaged the services of a Migration Agent, please ensure your agent is the point of contact with the SMC and makes any enquiries on your behalf.
In order for your application to be processed by the SMC, you must lodge a valid on-line application which MUST include the following documents to be processed:
- Skills Assessment

If these documents are not attached with your application, it will be deemed as invalid and State Sponsorship will be rejected.
