Tappers2oz Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Can anyone shed some light on this? Some comments on the fb post seem to clarify the OP’s concerns but I’ve googled and searched on here and found nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 You are talking about the skilled independent category and the State sponsorship being totally scrapped? I suspect there is a myriad of visas more likely to be binned before they scrap the one which brings in the most skilled migrants. Its not unknown for them to change the subclass number, for instance the 175 and 176 were replaced by the 189 and 190, but scrap it? Extremely tremendously unlikely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a weight off my mind! As I say, it's the first (and pretty much only) post I've seen mentioning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody2709 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 They are bringing the total amount if visas down to just 10 but that could happen gradually over the next few years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know (roughly) how many there are at the moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrussell Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 That is about right for the number of visas available for application. There are many more that cannot be applied for, but are still valid for those who hold them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tappers2oz Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 Thanks guys. I knew there were a lot, but didn't realise quite how many! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
