The Queensland government is only assessing you against their own rules based on the benefit you will provide to their state. QLD has incorporated the majority of the sub class 163 visa rules into their own assessment process, however DIAC is the ultimate body that will assess whether you satisfy the sub class 163 visa requirements including health and character for a grant of the sub class 163 visa. Obtaining state sponsorship approval from any of the states, including Queensland is not a guarantee of a visa once a substantive visa application has been lodged with the Department of Immigration. (Alot of the states will actually expressly state this is their sponsorship approval letters to potential business visa applicants for the sub class 163, sub class 164 and sub class 165) Your visa application for a sub class 163 must meet all the requirements set down by DIAC for it to be successful. Kind regards, Mege Dalton Hello Mark,

It is my understanding that I then need to apply to the Federal Gov for the visa. The question I have which I can't seem to find the answer to anywhere is: Once QLD say yes is it then a certainty that I will get my visa but I just have to wait or could the Federal people still turn me down? and If so on what grounds if QLD have already said yes?

I understand you may have worries and doubt but you need to have reasonable circumstances to change states, after all you did go through a whole business visa process with Victorian sponsorship. If you don't have reasonable circumstances you really should aim to settle and do business in Victoria as you declared to the Victorian government and the Department of Immigration. Kind regards, Mege Dalton Hamid,

However, when you are in a position to apply for your permanent business visa and if you require NSW sponsorship, you will need to show that you have obtained an official release from the Victorian government. You would be familiar with the form 949 (design date July 2007 - the state sponsorship approval form), if you go back to this form and check Part B you will see that this relates to an applicant who is seeking sponsorship from a state for a permanent business visa application and that state was not their original sponsoring state. There is a question that the original sponsoring state would need to answer (in your case Victoria - followed by space for their official stamp and signature) "Are you satisfied that there are reasonable circumstances surrounding the relocation of this applicant to an alternate State/Territory during the validity of their Business Skills (Provisional) visa? The key term is "resasonable circumstances" or in other words what your reasons were for changing state to live and operate a business and whether that state agrees that you were justified in relocating to another state. I have not had any of my own clients changes states like you are considering so can not advise you on the particular nuances of changing states. Suffice to say, when it comes time for you to apply for a permanent visa and you require state sponsorship you should have spent some time considering the reasons you are going to give Victoria for relocating to NSW. Simply saying you just changed your mind about where you wanted to live would not be taken favourably by any state government who gave you your initial sponsorship for your sub class 163. All the best, Mege Dalton Hello Hamid,

You will not be required to sit the IELTS test to verify your english language ability if you are the holder of a passport from any one of the following countries: - Ireland - United Kingdom - US - Canada - New Zealand If you hold a passport from any other country than those listed above, you may need to verify your english language ability. For the main business visa applicant, it is a requirement that you have functional english. For any secondary visa applicants who are over 18 years of age (i.e spouse or adult children), they also need to show they have functional english languable ability. If they cannot, a secondary visa applicant charge will apply. Currently this charge is AU$2925. Kind regards, Mege Dalton Hello Helen,
