From 1 January 2010, applicants for Subclasses 487, 885 and 886 must have obtained a suitable skills assessment from the relevant skills assessing authority prior to making their visa application.
There will be changes to Skills assessment for onshore general skill migrants:
- Skilled – Independent (Residence), subclass 885
- Skilled – Sponsored (Residence), subclass 886, and
- Skilled – Regional Sponsored (Provisional), subclass 487
All these 3 subclasses need to have skills assessment done before lodge the application. These changes will take effect from 1 Jan 2010.
Skill assessment can take up to 30 working days, depends on the skills assessing authority. But, remember that 1 month is only 20 working days (Mon-Fri). Therefore, 30 working days is in fact 1.5 month.
Seems that things are getting tougher.
