NSW Visa 190

FVG · June 2017

Hi everyone! I just lodged my EOI [Visa 190 for NSW] at 65pts (including state nomination). I am a Mechanical Engineer. Anyone here in a recent similar situation? I would like to know the process duration (such as; ITA by NSW? Approved nomination by NSW? Visa processing?) for this occupation? Sa lahat po ng sasagot, thank you in advance!!!

Hi, I would suggest for you to lodge another EOI for a subclass 189 too if your nominated skill is included in the MLTSSL list; since you already have 60 pts without the state nomination. you might have a higher chances of getting the visa faster that way. anyway, there is no limit in the number of EOI to submit.

Based on my experience, NSW processing time is extremely fast, they have approved my application for nomination in just 3 working days. SkillSelect will also send their invitation to apply for a VISA in that same day that you got nominated and approved by NSW. just note that once you get the invitation to apply for a VISA, you will only have 60 days to submit in which you need to pay the VISA fee. my suggestion is for you to start compiling the papers required and the VISA fee at this time, just in case.

I agree. Why did you lodge 190? Go for 189.

As far as I know mechanical engineer does not have any higher point threshold unlike accountants or auditors meaning if you have 60 points you can apply using 189 and higher chances of being selected. 189 is flexible unlike 190 - you have to stay in the state for 2 yrs at least

Hi. I lodged my eoi last May 31. No invites yet from NSW for 190. I thought, as I've read from blogs and communities here and there, NSW is fast when it comes to invitations. No luck yet but hopeful.
I have 65 pts and also a Mechanical Engineer.

Though I also lodged eoi for 189. Waiting for next invitation rounds for 2017-2018.

Au_Vic · June 2017

@jacjacjac Yeah, I checked the skill select report and they have already reached the quotas for mechanical engineer. I did not know that there so many mechanical engineers applying to oz. The last EOI selected for mechanical engineer was 75 points much higher than 65 so I assume they will invite first people with higher scores. At this stage most states are closed for sponsorship and will re-open for 2017-2018.

Mechanical engineer is also in the skills list for Victoria

hi everyone! good evening, just want to inquire lang sana ano po un required PTE score for State sponsorship (i.e. in NSW, Victoria and SA). maraming salamat po

Hello po! May concern lang po ako ifever we'll pursue on our oz dream...
May chance pa po bang ma.invite under Visa 190 ( NSW) if you only have 60+5 (SS) pts.?
261311 Analyst Programmer ( nom. occu.).
This being our last option kc max 20pts. na ung PTE-A and 15pts. for Skilled emp.

Thank you in advance sa mga sasagot!

Au_Vic · July 2017

@spyware i would asssume there are so many applicants for state sponsorship in NSW. Check victoria, analyst programmer is in their skills list.

spyware · July 2017

@Au_Vic Hi! Appreciate your reply.
Yes, will try Vic as well since they say that 2 EOIs for 190 at the same time is possible.
Thanks!

Au_Vic · July 2017

@spyware South Australia has analyst programmer too in their skills list though only visa class 489. They require 70 points including SS. SA process state migration quicker than other states. If your aim is to be oz quicker then explore SA.

spyware · July 2017

@Au_Vic Hi! Thank you for the info.
Inasmuch as we would like to consider/explore but, sadly, 70 pts. is unlikely in our case

Occupation ceilings do not apply to State sponsorship.

If you want to see the occupation ceilings for general skilled migration, refer to the link below.

hi just submitted last night yun application ko for state nomination. based on recent approvals, meron po ba may idea dito gaano katagal mag process ang NSW?

victorious · October 2017

I don’t know if this was discussed before (nhirapan ako mag back read) but I just wonder if anyone tried contacting NSW about the status of their application. Are they willing to answer your queries as to when you could probably get a pre-invite? Nabasa ko lng sa ibang forum pero hindi sya na discuss further.

Hunter_08 · October 2017

@victorious I'm not sure kung may nag email na regarding the status of their application but I think they won't give you any concrete answer as to when or if they will invite you for SS because there are lots of things to consider like kung ilang points ka, english proficiency exam result, years of experience at kung ilan kayo kadami nag apply with the same occupation at ilan ang nauna sayo na nag apply. marami talagang factor at hindi kasi lahat ng nag aapply sa kanila ay iinvite nila for SS.

agd · October 2017

@kaidenMVH based sa immitracker sir, mga 3-4 weeks lang yung mga approval. Antay nalang tayo mga 6-8 weeks to be sure.

Justin · December 2017

@Pandabelle0405 190 visa walang makakapag sabi ng timeline until pre-invite minsan 2 days meron na minsan 1 year wala pa. Pero once may pre invite na kayo at nbayaran nyo 300 AUD 12 weeks average waiting time.

lecia · December 2017

@Pandabelle0405 I suggest take sya Ng PTE, aim for superior para mataas points at mataas chances for Invitation. Medyo madami ka competition sa ngayon at Yung mga highest pointer Ang inuuna invite. Si @Justin nag ulit yan Ng PTE para sa superior score which is +20points.

Justin · December 2017

Tama si @lecia better ask him to aim for superior english exam while ypu lodge for 190 visa.

Pandabelle0405 · December 2017

@lecia hello po yes ng try po mapAtaas pa pts salamat po sa advice.

Hi everyone. Just want to share my story. I've just got the status of my VETASSESS reassessment (4 December) and I only got 1 year. Now, for my field (Facilities Manager), the only option at that time is to apply via South Australia State Nomination kaso nung 6 December, biglang naging Supplementary Skilled List or Special Conditions apply sya.

Yung agent ko inadvise ako ng ganito:

"We submit an EOI now for consideration by NSW. NSW will sometimes consider occupations that are not on it's core occupation list and there's no harm in putting your details forward for consideration. There's no cost for this. Your points would be 60, which is not particularly high so I wouldn't rate your chances are high, but we should still keep that option open."

Question - may mga kilala po ba kayo na ganito ang case pero nabigyan ng ITA? Wala kasi yung Facilities Manager sa NSW 190 Priority Skilled Occupation List (NSW 190 List) 2017-18 nung tinignan ko.

Sana me makatulong po, Maraming salamat.

kaidenMVH · December 2017

@mxv588t aim for superior english, if you have the time and money para tumaas pa points mo. NSW have this stream 2 option for high pointers para sa skills na wala sa priority list nila (stream 1). yun nga lang you really have to be patient kasi for sure matatagalan bago ka ma invite. depende din kasi yan sa industry demand.

mxv588t · December 2017

@kaidenMVH just took the PTE exam and got the results on the same date. Finally I got all scores above 79. Hopefully kahit wala ang facilities manager sa NSW skill list e ma consider yung sinubmit namin na EOI...
