Hello Tipper.

The regional skilled occupations list is only relevant if you are looking to move to the State in question and want that State to consider you for Nomination under the STNI visa category.

So if you are considering moving to SA it's probably worth considering applying for State Nomination as the timeline for a STNI visa grant is about half that of a skilled independent or skilled family sponsored visa. And you only need the pool mark of 70 points to be eligible.

Hope this helps.

HI Alan and Tipper

Alan, you are right, but really the only way to speed up processing of a skilled
migration visa application would be if you are nominated by Victoria, ACT or SA
AND you have a job offer in one of the occupations on their regional skills in
demand list...this will indeed cut the processing time by AT LEAST half. Alan, you
might also be interested in the following: http://www.workpermit.com/careers_with_us.htm#Lond-

Hello Elfa.

I think you'll find that a job offer isn't a pre-requisite of being nominated in almost all occupations on the regional skilled occupations lists (IT in SA now being the one notable exception). And the nomination is sufficient to move you from a 136 to a 137-STNI visa, which in turn means your visa should come through in half the time as compared to a 136 application.

It might be that the States don't agree to nominate unless they are aware that job vacancies exist in that occupation, but that's not quite the same thing as what I think you are suggesting ...

Best regards.

Bigman

is there a list of the occupations they might nominate ?? on the internet? if so, can
we have a url please?!!

how does this work? you can be state nominated in an occupation but dont need a job
offer and they give you a visa if you move to that state? am confused ! ¦

cheers
