SBMP Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Do you have a PhD? Holders of a recognised PhD now have a streamlined pathway to permanent residence. The Victorian Government has introduced a new pathway to state nomination through the Skilled Nominated 190 visa. To be eligible, applicants will need to: have completed a PhD in at a Victorian University and have an occupation on the Department of Immigration and Citizenship’s Consolidated Skilled Occupation List (CSOL) Schedule 1 and 2; or have completed a doctorate of a recognised standard (as determined by the relevant skill assessing authority) in a field relating to an occupation on the State Nomination Occupation List for Victoria. Applicants must also be eligible to apply for General Skilled Migration and meet all other state nomination eligibility requirements. There are a limited number of nominations available.

Maybe someone will be able to answer one question for me - when making an application for SS should I apply as a PhD graduate or as a Life Scientist nec (for what I have assessment and which is also on their list)?

SBMP Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Thanks for your post. You should apply as a Life Scientist NEC. There is a section on the form where you can include your qualifications.
