New South Wales is introducing a Selection-based Invitation Process which will ne implemented from February 2015 onwards.
Under the selection and invitation process for the 190 visa program, prospective candidates can only apply for NSW nomination if they have been selected from SkillSelect and invited by NSW Trade & Investment.
For more information please see the following link:
The selection process will be competitive. NSW will rank candidates based on core criteria which is: firstly, a candidate’s DIBP points score, then their English ability, and then their skilled employment. Where candidates score the same on these core criteria at time of selection, they will be further ranked based on the date and time that their EOI was submitted in SkillSelect.
The top-ranking candidates will be the first to be invited to apply and NSW will determine how many invitations are issued on an ongoing basis.
