关于州担保申请的一个问题

chencius

按我以前的理解，做176签证的顺序，应该是1.职业认证->2.州担保认证->3.向移民局申请176签证。

今天看到移民局官网上的一段话：
Changes to state nominated and family sponsored GSM visas – 1 July 2010
From 1 July 2010, applicants for certain GSM applications will be required to demonstrate that they have been nominated by a state or territory government agency or sponsored by an eligible relative apply. These amendments relate to the following visa subclasses:

Skilled – Sponsored (Migrant) Visa (Subclass 176)
Skilled – Sponsored (Residence) Visa (Subclass 886)
Skilled – Regional Sponsored (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 475)
Skilled – Regional Sponsored (Provisional) visa (subclass 487)
To lodge a valid application, applicants should lodge their visa application form first. The nominating state or territory government agency or sponsoring eligible relative should then complete the associated nomination or sponsorship form using the TRN number provided to the visa applicant when lodging the visa application. The nominating state or territory government agency or sponsoring relative should lodge the form within 28 days to demonstrate that the applicant is nominated or sponsored.

黑体字的意思是不是申请人要先向移民局提申请，得到TRN number后，再由担保的州在28天之内，根据这处TRN number完成相应的提名表格交给移民局? 如果是这样的话，无论该州是不是给申请担保，申请费都是免不了的？ 另外，州担保（不是申请176签证）的资料什么时候递交呢？

哪位高人解答一下？

get the offer from the state government first. then lodge your visa application. after obtaining the trn, pass it to the state government to secure your sponorship. they will submit their sponsorship doc to the diac. my understanding.

不，你必须拿到州担保后才可以递交移民申请。递交DIAC后，再把TRN号发给担保州，由他们来向DIAC确认你得到了他们的担保。

原来是这样，谢谢解释！
