Hi All,
I realised yesterday that South Australia has made significant changes to their nomination criteria; it turns out I am eligible right now. I have 60 points at the moment. I was thinking rather than waiting for a couple of invitation rounds to get an invitation for the 189, I'll go for SA State Nomination. However, there is only one thing!
It seems like SA requires me to update the my EOI to do the following:
1) highlight only "SA nomination only" rather than "All States"; and
2) highlight only the relevant visas (in my case 190 only).
Please see the below screenshot from their website

If this is true, here are my concerns: I may loose a chance to be invited for 189.
I was thinking yesterday to apply for SA State Nomination and keep the 189 in my EOI. In this case I can work on the two visas in parallel. I thought while SA processes my nomination application, I might get an invitation for 189. If I won't get an invitation for 189 at least I would have been started the nomination application. However, it appears to be that I have to choose only one path:err:. Please help!
Cheers,
Fadi
