I am very happy to announce that the NSW Trade and Investment have changed their selection system for the 190 visa back to SkillSelect systems (just like how other states select which applicant they nominate) effective in February 2015.
The previous selection process which works like buying a very limited concert ticket (of a very popular singer/band) in one day. It has proven to be ineffective because all the applicants go online on the same day at a scheduled time block and were faced by system errors. The NSW Trade and Investment’s state nomination application system could not cope with the volume of applications coming their way.
