Mukhang nagamit na ni WA ang lahat ng allocation for SC 190 based on recent invitation round. Hopefully may increase sa allocations

Hope someone can give some insights on this:

My friend received a pre-invitation last October 17 for visa subclass 190.
However, after checking the state nomination requirements she ticks all of them except the contract of employment part.
She is applying offshore. Occupation is industrial pharmacist.
Obviously, she won't be able to complete the application for nomination as she won't be able to provide required documentation for employment contract.

This is the sad truth po, job offer is required. Unless your friend can get an employer willing to provide a job offer within the 28days application window.

Only 491 doesn’t require employment contract. Such a shame that the allocation will be wasted. Unfortunately no way around it.

Copied

WA FY Allocation = 2350 places

WA has issued 4188 preinvites so far this FY.

Last year WA issued 3X the number of preinvites vs. number of actual allocation used (multiple invites per person, 6M contract missing etc.). So a 33% utilisation ratio.

We can assume a higher, closer to 40% utilisation this FY as applicants are more cautious and conservative.

So WA has consumed 0.4 X 4188 ~= 1675 allocation used so far.

Remaining = 2350 - 1650 = 500

→ WA will likely do one more small round this FY (between 300 to 500 places)

Likely in Jan/Feb/Mar, and then it will go silent till June 2024, in terms of preinvites (unless state allocation is replenshied by DHA).

Good luck to all

WA migration has closed a day ago and I may not seen an invite coming in into this platform. Anyone had the invite but did not share here , i guess others will feel it is a personal choice though, i can say WA is pretty much shut off to Offshore applicants even to construction professionals who they said is an urgent need ,with what i can quote from the WA Premier ,** they can't reach these professionals in offshore due to the reduced quotas.** It is true to the core ,a reality for many now .

It will help others who are in this journey to be aware of the political aspect can have ripple effects to future applicants. We could have used this insight to be able to use other migration pathways and not rely on one single state, although it may feel that many of certain requirements fits you, it is disadvantageous to set filters and choose a single state in this domain.

Although WA is closed at the moment is good and a perfect time to launch an expression of interest when all other applicants are busy getting the buzz around other states still open. In this case, you will gain seniority in regard to EOI initial date of submission for next FY once WA opens up
