Hello Friends,
I am planning to apply FSW and new to this forum....
Could you please guide me where do i begin.. I have 7+ Y exp in IT, Master degree and I believe that I can reach the required points...
Please clarify some of my doubts...
Could you tell me what is the cut off date that the visa applications will be accepted.?
Ans: There is no cut off date. Instead it depends on the number of applications accepted till date as Eligible for further processing. Currently they have got two thresholds; either the total cap of 25000 applications reach or individual cap of 1000 applications for each eligible NOC. Further details can be found here,

Where to find the info that how many applications have been received so far?
Ans: On the same link provided above..
Can we apply ourselves or should required any consultant assistance ?
Ans: You can apply yourself. Consultant assistance is not mandatory, however, the decision of consulting an agent is on your discretion. But it won't affect your application on the whole anyway if your application is complete and comprises of proper documents needed whether you have apply yourself or use an agent.
Can I submit the IELTS results later ( may be after a month once i sent the applications)?
Ans: You MUST have to send your IELTS result with the application or your application will be sent back to you with the label "Incomplete". It is because they will asses your ELIGIBILITY on the basis of total points and if your IELTS is not present for evaluation then they will not able to evaluate your application.
Please share the link of any useful thread that already been discussed for beginners....
Ans: This complete thread is useful. However, seniors can comment better which other threads you should follow or consult.
