Argh.... need some help
So, I just got this email from home affairs on my skillselect. It says that a midwife is no longer on the STSOL as of March 18th. I was invited to apply for a visa on 26th Feb and applied for my visa on the 27th. What does this mean? Will my visa application be rejected even though I have done all health assessments and police clearances and paid the visa fees??
Really worried and having a bit of a panic. Is there a way of contacting home affairs from the UK?

I would have thought I'll be fine as I have submitted my visa application and I have state nomination but you never know

If your occupation has been removed from the list, you will only be impacted if you apply for a skilled visa on or after the date on which the occupation was removed from the relevant skilled occupation list.

Applications lodged before the change will not be impacted. If you already hold a skilled visa, you will not be impacted by these removed occupations unless you apply for a further skilled visa or are changing your occupation or employer.

When you applied it was still on the list, correct? In that case you will be ok. They will just not accept any applications AFTER March 18th.
