How to understand the new NSW 2022-2023 migration plan. Recent Updates.

The Investment NSW website has just published information regarding both the Skilled Nominated (Permanent) visa (subclass 190) and the Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491). 

The State of NSW invites and nominates Skill select Expression of interest (EOI) applicants according to the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO). 

To be eligible for NSW nomination you must: 

  • You must be skilled in an occupation that appears on the ANZSCO unit group list for the visa you are considering. 
  • You must also make sure that your occupation is eligible for the visa you are considering before obtaining a skills assessment under ANZSCO unit groups identified on the NSW skills lists. 

Work experience requirements and new minimum point scores 

There will be minimum requirements for skilled work experience in all unit groups. To qualify for NSW nomination, each unit group will have a minimum point score, these minimums will be included in the NSW Skilled Nominated Skills List. 

SkillSelect determines the minimum number of places in each unit group based on the EOIs submitted. If your score is below these numbers, you will not be able to apply for NSW nomination. 

SkillSelect EOIs will be affected by any eligibility changes, regardless of when they were submitted. Changing eligibility criteria without notice is possible at any time. 

NSW Skilled Migration Update for the190 Visa!

NSW nominations for the Skilled Nominated visa 190 are by invitation only. Since NSW nomination demand exceeds the number of available places, you must consider all other migration pathways, rather than waiting for an invitation from NSW. 

NSW Skilled Migration Update – Pathways for the 491 Visa! 

Two pathways will be available for NSW nomination for the 491 Visa this fiscal year. For both pathways, the eligibility criteria are the same. 

 What are these pathways? Let’s Find Out! 

  • Pathway 1: To be considered for NSW nomination, you must meet the minimum eligibility criteria. A direct application can be submitted to an RDA office in the region where you plan to live and work for at least three years during the financial year. 
  • Pathway 2: A formal invitation to apply must be extended by Investment NSW, which will conduct ongoing invitation rounds throughout the financial year.  If Investment NSW nominates you, you may work and live in any designated regional area of NSW. You can live for at least 3 years after Home Affairs grants you a visa. 

We are here to help:

Our website is jam packed with useful information about various visa options and common questions that answer most of our visitors’ doubts, but if you’re still not sure and would like a personalised migration plan with a step by step road map, then schedule a consultation with one of our Registered Migration Agent.

Bill Questra is nothing short of exceptional. His assistance was instrumental in helping my wife and me navigate the complexities of the visa process, ultimately leading to our successful visa grant. What sets Bill apart is not just his expertise, but his approachability and willingness to go the extra mile for his clients. He patiently guided us through each step, answering our questions, addressing our concerns, and ensuring that we felt confident and supported throughout the process. His professionalism, coupled with his warmth and empathy, made all the difference during what could have been a stressful ordeal. Thanks to Bill's tireless efforts and unwavering commitment, my wife and I can now embark on this new chapter of our lives with peace of mind and excitement for the future. He is truly an amazing person and a consummate professional.

We engaged with Questra through my classmate. After initially consultation with lawyer- Bill, we decided to see how it goes. Basically, you would be assisted by Questra team with your application. Lots of people might think you engage with law firm and paid them nothing is needed to be worried. I have to slightly correct those idea from people who wish engaging with Questra. First of all, it’s your responsibility to provide legitimate information to them. The team of Questra is playing a role like a coach to assist with your application to become more smoothly and persuasively way but remain all legitimate information for your application. Hence, you have to write all information that you wish to include into your application by yourself first. During our preparation phase before offical lodgement of our application, we have been assisted by all Questra team and ensured all supportive information have been provided and if we missed anything, the team will let us know ASAP. We got our 820 very soon after lodging our application within 6 months during Covid, which we were very grateful for the result and after two years of waiting, we continued with Questra to lodge our 801 as they have all information of ours. We received our 801 within 11 months of waiting time. However, this timeframe is just for your reference as each case have different requirements and conditions that might be required more time to process. In the conclusion, we are very grateful to engage with Questra, they made the whole process was so smooth and less hassle for us. We highly recommended to engage with them if your need some assistance with your visa application.

I have recently received notice that my 485 visa has been granted, after over three years of being separated from my family. I am extremely grateful for the excellent service provided by Bill and Dahiana from Questra Immigration. Their exceptional service, guidance, and expertise played a vital role in the successful outcome of my application, and I cannot thank them enough for their efforts. They were always available to answer my questions, offer advice, support and provide reassurance, even during my frustrating and emotional moments. This made a significant difference to my experience. I am truly grateful for their professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail, which ensured that my application was submitted accurately and efficiently. Their extensive knowledge of the visa application process and regulations gave me the confidence that my application was in the best hands possible. Their service and work was outstanding , and I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone in need of an immigration agent.

A+++ experience with Bill and his team as their support trough our 186 application was above and beyond at all times. Our Visa was granted within just a month of lodging and it wouldn’t have been possible without their extensive knowledge and top notch customer service. Thank You Questra! Highly recommend

Everyone at Questra have been absolutely amazing and delightful to work with. They have assisted me for some years, first with my Chef career pursuing my permanent residency and then with my partner visa. They are extremely competent and have given me all the support needed in these years. All the visas that I applied with their guidance was quickly approved. They do know what they are doing, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else.
