Hi ,we're applying STNI SA non MODL, app in Sep 12th to DIMIA after getting SA sponsorship in 1w from online app and faxing them the pages they wanted. ASA were our consultants but I actually did the SA online app myself,naughty but faster as there were lots of bits that needed personal input like why you wanted to live in SA above the other states etc.
We frontloaded PCCs and did our meds early Nov which have been cleared so we're waiting for a CO, prob Jan or so as they're doing the Aug applicants now. The letter said the usual 4mths from acknowledgement for CO allocation so we're not expecting anything faster but still will be happy to get an answer by end Feb.Tough wait! Hope to get to Adelaide for winter,mmmm!
We have friends in Adelaide andlove the city,smaller and less frenetic than Sydney,less tourist busy than Sydney and Brisbane and Perth and some old colonial style architecture, great arts lifestyle, nice beaches and totally diff climate ecology thru out the state, green of Barossa, dry of Outback, beaches, and suthern sl cooler climes. can't wait!
Good luck, the state sponsor bit is the fastest and easiest bit of all!
