Visa processing times and High Points category Updates in South Australia
South Australia recently updated the Nomination Criteria . Immigration South Australia has sent out a news release about the changes in the ‘High Points Criteria’ and new visa processing times. Following information has been provided by them:
Since 05 July 2019, if the applicants have 80 points, they can have access to occupations marked as Special Conditions Apply in the South Australia occupation list and Supplementary list. But, from 26 July 2019, the applicants will need to have 85 points to meet the High Points Criteria.
South Australia has also advised that once the High Points quota for a given occupation is about to be reached, the High Points Criteria will be automatically increased to 90 points.
Due to high volume of applications, the processing times has also increased. Please check the new processing times here. Immigration South Australia has urged applicants and Migration agents not to put in an enquiry about the application before the processing time and wait for 7 business days for the response to your inquiry.
