Immigration Forum / Australia and NZ / September 2007

Folks, Lawyers, officers,

I am not able to figure out if I am qualified for the subclass 475,
please help me to clear the confusion

The website says : "This visa also requires that either:

This visa requires you to be either:
·    nominated by a participating State or Territory government agency
or
·    sponsored by an eligible relative living in a designated area of
Australia."

What does nomination mean here? How can I know that someone will
nominate me?

Suppose that I currently have the following :

IELTS (6 in each banc) = 15 Points
Age     (30 years)           = 25 Points
Skills   (Computer)        = 60 points
Experience (4 years)      = 10 points

Total = 110

Subclass 475 needs only 100, so what the nomination means here? Is it
something special?

I have no problem to stay in some certain states, but please shed the
light for me on that issue, I am so much confused and I want to start
the process.
