Guidance on SC190 procedure

Hello Everyone,

I need some guidance on process of state sponsorship (NSW). I am aurrently carrying 70 points in ANZSCO 233311. Since i haven’t received DIBP invitation yet so I am planning to apply for state but not really clear on the process. Couple of questions in my mind are:

  1. How long usually it will take for NSW state to send invitation (233311) ?
  2. Once state invitation received then whats the next step ?
  3. With additional 5 points from state, my new total will be 70+5. Will I wait for state invitation or DIBP invitation ?
  4. How to lodge application after receiving state invitation ?
  5. How long it takes at each and every step ?

Sorry i might be asking some silly questions but really I need someone to shed light on this.

Thanks
