Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190)

Hi Krunal, thanks again for your insights. I checked SkillSelect EOI data—Geotechnical Engineer shows under 20(means no clear data) across lodged/submitted/closed, while Civil Engineering Technician has higher figures. Do you think low volume for Geotech suggests less competition or limited demand? Based on your experience, which one would you recommend for ROI? I'm currently working in Victoria earning 110k. Appreciate your guidance!

Hi Krunal, I’m currently living and working in Victoria and planning to submit my ROI for the Skilled Nominated (subclass 190) visa. As Victoria considers all occupations from the Department of Home Affairs skilled occupation list if the applicant is already working in Victoria. Also, based on your experience, could you suggest which occupations currently have higher chances of receiving a nomination in Victoria — particularly between Civil Engineering Technician and Geotechnical Engineer?

JSK Krunal Sir, writing this post to THANK YOU for all the support you have provided in answering my queries. Received visa grant yesterday (sc190, 133111, lodged 6dec23, s56 9sep25, docs submitted 30sep25, verification call 1oct25, grant 10Oct25). Could you also guide what happens if I choose not to abide by the commitment of staying in the nominated state for the two year period? Also, what should be my next step?

Hello Krunal Sir, I submitted my EOI in February 2025 under the University Lecturer occupation as an offshore candidate. My points are 65 for SC 189, 70 for SC 190, and 80 for SC 491. I have applied for SC 491 in NSW, SA, VIC, and ACT, and for SC 190 in NSW. Could you please advise when I might expect an invitation and the likelihood of receiving one?

I have conformed with Victoria state by email to claim my daughters new salary which will start in two weeks time. There reply was that you can not claim future income in The ROI, but soon you start new job you can claim and update in the ROI .I hope this information is usefull for all the applicants.

I have 85+5 for 190 for Offshore Mechanical engg & Engineering Technologist . For Victoria in which category should i lodge the ROI or should I go for 491?

Hi Sir,I hope you’re doing well. Based on the recent visa processing trends, can we expect a reduction in processing times soon? Also, could you please let me know the current processing timeframe for a Software Engineer under the NSW state nomination?

Is the HAP ID generated after I pay the offshore 190 visa application fee or before I pay the visa application fee? Is there any chance that the HAP I'd be generated before the visa application fee payment?

Is it true that an applicant cannot apply for 190/491 state nominations for two different states in a financial year ? for example: ROI for victoria and QLD cannot be submitted together, an applicant has to make one choice. please clear this myth/fact. Thanks,

Sir,ls there any minimum turnover for a sponsorer to sponsor a candidate for 186DE Stream
