S4 中写着: This list applies to applicants for subclasses 176 (Skilled – Sponsored), 886 (Skilled – Sponsored), 475 (Skilled – Regional Sponsored) and 487 (Skilled – Regional Sponsored) visas who are nominated by a State or Territory government agency.
然后 Frequent Q&A 上又解释道:
Applications from people who are nominated by a state or territory government agency with a
nominated occupation that is specified on the state or territory’s state migration plan receive the
second highest level of priority processing. State migration plans will be developed by
state/territory governments in consultation with the department. They will include occupations
that are in demand in each individual state and territory. State migration plans are currently
being developed and are expected to come into effect during the second half of 2010.
Applicants that have been nominated by a state or territory government agency in an occupation
that is subsequently specified in their nominating state or territory’s state migration plan will
receive processing under priority group 2.
但是如文中所说 SMP还在 being developed. 所以CO 的问题就变得奇怪了, 如果选176 是不是就算 state sponsored? 如果是,哪岂不是现在还没有match 的 SMP? 那么LZ 就只有175可以选择了。
