Comments by Chris Johnston – Principal Lawyer and Registered Migration Agent at Work Visa Lawyers
This list will be a big shock for cooks and hairdressers that were looking to apply straight for PR through the subclass 190.
Immigration SA may only accept a limited number of applicants for each occupation. You are advised to secure your nomination as soon as possible while there is still high availability.
However please be aware of all visa application requirements before submitting your application, and seek help from a Registered Migration Agent if in doubt.
