CVS Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Hi We've recently had a positive skills assessment back from ACS so now onto submitting our EOI, has anyone submitted an EOI for a 489 Far South NSW? I'm trying to gauge the length of wait we're in for! TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetBlast Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I am an IT Professional also. I decided not to go for the NSW 489. 1. There are no IT jobs in those areas 2. Apparently the chance of being invited is very low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetBlast Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 190 in NSW could be an option? July is the new financial year and the immigration system "resets". It will mean the points, jobs etc will change so new opportunities will probably open. There is a chance that the points requirements for the 489 for South Australia will go down. The good thing about the 489 for South Australia is the whole state counts as a rural area including Adelaide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we spoke to our immigration agent a couple of months ago 489 Far South NSW was the only option for us but if SA opens up I'd prefer that! The job situation does concern me but I'm trying to remain positive! Let's see what July brings!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetBlast Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 How many points do you have? (excluding the 10 added for state sponsorship?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to wind the clock back a few years to sneak a few more points! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetBlast Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) Ah I see. That is why you can't go for the 190 for NSW. I have 60 points (before any added for the state sponsorship). Edited June 10, 2018 by JetBlast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
