안녕하세요.

아래 이미지는 주정부스폰서쉽 (190 영주비자)를 위해서 VIC, TAS, QLD, NT 4개의 주에서 2019년 1월 1일 부터 2019년 9월 7일까지 노미네이션을 발행한 자료입니다. 이 자료에는 주별 전체점수,  영어성적, 직업군, 발행날짜 등의 자료를 가지고 있습니다.

이 자료를 오늘 확보하고 제가 검토를 하니 이런 의사결정을 할 수 있었습니다.

예를들어 이런 내용입니다.

어떤 주에 어떤 직업군이 가장 많은 노미네이션을 발행했는가? (예를들어 RN의 경우 매우 generous 한 주가 있는 반면 어떤 주정부는 아예 발행자체를 하지 않았다는 점입니다. 정말 흥미로운 점이 아닐 수 없습니다. 왜냐하면 아무리 해당 주에 거주를 하더라도 아무리 좋은 점수를 가지고 있더라도 아예 발행자체를 하지 않는다면 이는 마치 낚시대와 고기밥은 있지만 고기가 없는 목욕탕에 낚시하고 있는 모양새 이기 때문입니다)

또한 그 당시 영어 성적과 전체 점수는 얼마를 확보했어야 했는가? (이또한 매우 중요한 정보입니다. 점수가 높으면 높을 수록 좋겠지만 자신의 조건과 여건이 최대 점수가 65점이라면 과연 가능성이 있는지 여부입니다. 이 점을 알고 있다면 희망을 가질지 아니면 다른 방법을 찾아야 할지 의사결정을 할 수 있겠습니다.)

몇가지 정보 공유를 하면 다음과 같습니다.

• 위의 4개 주정부에서 약 9.5개월 동안 발행한 Nomination 숫자 (for 190 비자) 는 정확히 2847건
• 영어성적 IELTS 기준(4과목모두) 으로 8.0, 7.0 그리고 6.0으로 nomination 받은 신청자가 각각 629, 1815 그리고 393명
• 전체점수가 95/90/85/80/75/70/65점까지 정말 다양한데 각각 3/5/58/245/533/970/1012로서 흔히 알고 있는 정보 즉 65점 겨우 턱걸이되어서는 받을 가능성이 없다는 말은 맞지 않는다고 할 수 있겠습니다. 80점 등 높은 점수를 확보한 사람들은 실제 비율로 보면 전체 11% 정도 밖에 안된다는 사실이고 65점은 거의 36%에 해당함.
• 2847건 중에서 VIC/TAS/QLD/NT 주 각각 1150/1058/516/223 이라는 점에서 QLD가 얼마나 상대적으로 어렵게 신청하는지 알 수 있고 반면 타스마니아가 매우 generous함을 볼 수 있겠습니다.
• RN (Registered Nurse)의 경우 VIC주가 677건, QLD 84건, TAS 40건 NT 52 건으로 VIC주가 완전히 domination 하고 있음을 알수 있었고
• Accountant의 경우 TAS 287, QLD 10건 NT가 76건으로 VIC주는 한건도 없었으며 QLD도 가뭄에 콩나고 반면에 TAS 주의 경우가 Accountant로 nomination 된 분들이 다수였는점입니다.

여기까지 흥미롭고 관심이 될 많은 자료가 아닐 수 없고 여기까지 정보 공유해 드립니다.

언제나 주옥같은 정보를 입수하여 client을 위해서 업무 상담는 물론이고 업무 대행 진행시 의사결정으로 활용할 수 있도록 하겠습니다.

감사합니다.

Subclass 190 (2020년 1월 부터 시작)

Requirements for state nomination for the Subclass 190 program are also available on the NSW Live & Work in NSW site.

Commencing January 2020, NSW will generally not invite candidates to apply for nomination by NSW for a Skilled Nominated Visa (190) if they are currently residing in another Australian state or territory. (타주에 거주할 경우 NSW 주정부 노미네이션 받을 가능성 없음)

NSW undertakes ‘invitation rounds’ where selected applicants are invited to apply for NSW nomination. There are no set dates on when an invitation round will occur.

190비자를 위한 직업군 목록

내가 신청자격이 되는가?

The purpose of the NSW skilled visa program is to help drive economic growth, competitiveness and productivity in NSW. Through the 190 program we aim to nominate highly skilled migrants whose occupational skills are needed in NSW.

NSW selects and invites candidates to apply for NSW nomination. Candidates are selected from the Department of Home Affairs SkillSelect database. NSW Department of Industry selects and invites the highest ranking candidates who meet the NSW nomination criteria in eligible occupations on an ongoing basis. Invitations are not guaranteed.

To be considered for NSW selection, candidates must meet minimum eligibility requirements including: (아래 조건을 만족해야 함)

1. Meet NSW occupation requirements. For details, see below under ‘NSW occupation requirements’. (1년 거주 + 1년 경력 조건)
2. Score a minimum of at least 65 points on the Australian Department of Home Affairs points test and meet relevant Commonwealth visa criteria. (최소 65점)
3. Have been selected by NSW and received an invitation to apply for NSW nomination. (주정부로 부터 선택되어야 함)
4. Submit a complete and accurate application for NSW nomination within 14 days of being invited to apply. (노미네이션 신청서 제출)
5. Commit to living and working in NSW for at least the first two years after being granted the 190 visa. (최소 2년간 살며 일하겠다는 Commitment)

For an overview on the 190 application process, download our how to apply fact sheet.

NSW occupation requirements

Your occupation must be on the NSW 190 Priority Skilled Occupation List (NSW 190 List).

NSW cannot provide an indication of the likelihood of invitation.

All candidates must have had their qualifications assessed as suitable to work in the nominated occupation in Australia. Read about the suitable skills assessment. (기술심사필통과)

Some occupations on the NSW 190 Priority Occupation List (NSW 190 List) are now subject to an additional requirement for nomination by NSW. (직업군에 따라 추가조건)

The additional requirement for these occupations is to be living in NSW, and to have been employed in NSW for at least one year, in the nominated occupation. (해당 직업군으로 1년간 경력 물론 NSW에 거주하면서)

These occupations are indicated on the NSW 190 Priority Skilled Occupation List.

For further information on this requirement, please see our frequently asked questions.

특이하게도 NSW주에서 공부를 했다고 주는 혜택이 없음에 유의; 따라서 유학생들은 NSW 주를 선호할 이유가 이런 면에서 없다고 보여짐.

Study in NSW

The NSW Skilled nominated migration 190 program is highly popular and competitive. The program is run on a ‘selection and invitation’ basis in which NSW selects and invites the highest ranking candidates to apply.

NSW does not currently offer a pathway for NSW graduates through its 190 program due to the very high demand for positions from highly qualified and experienced individuals. (이득이 없음)

The NSW Skilled nominated migration 190 program is just one of a number of visa options for skilled migrants. There are a range of visas offered by the Commonwealth Government Department of Home Affairs. Candidates and employers are encouraged to investigate other migration options on the Home Affairs website at www.homeaffairs.gov.au.

Key steps for candidates (190 비자를 위한 신청절차)

이기사의 내용인즉 골드코스트와 같은 도시가 ‘지방’으로 인정이 되었는데 어떻게 작은 타운의 고용주들이 (외노자를) 고용할 기회가 있을 수 있겠느냐? 라는 내용입니다.

그것도 그럴 것이 빅토리아주의 한 작은 시골지역, 스완스힐이라는 지역은 인구도 1만 1천명정도밖에 안되고 멜번에서 340km 북서쪽에 자리하고 있으니 그야 말로 완전시골인데 이런 곳에 외노자가 오겠는가 하는 의구심을 낳는 것이지요.

그렇다면 반대로 우리 한국 출신자 분들은 기왕에 공부를 하더라도 또는 491 비자 / 494 비자를 고려를 할 때 이런 완전 시골에 가서 잡을 찾을 수 있다면 (물론 이때 영어가 어느 정도 소통이 되어야 합니다) 그래야 취업이 되겠지요. 좋은 조건에서 취업도 되고 일하면서 호주 삶 (시골의 삶)을 살아 볼 수 있겠다 싶습니다. 사실 대도시에 살면 별로 인간적 만남은 많지만 이런 시골에 살면 진짜 오지 사람들과 정을 나누면서 살 수 있어요. 이것은 대한민국에서도 대도시 보다는 소도시에서 이웃들과 더 가까운 사이가 될 수 있는 것과 같은 이치가 아닐까 싶습니다.

그래서 내용을 한번 읽어 보시라고 이렇게 기사를 모두 dump해 드리오니 한번 읽어 보세요.

고용주는 외노자들이 안 올 것 같아 걱정을 하고 있음을 보실 수 있으면 좋을 듯 합니다.

With cities like the Gold Coast declared ‘regional’, small town employers ‘won’t stand a chance’

Updated 27 Nov 2019, 4:47pm

Jason King’s business needs workers with skills, but it’s a tough job to convince them to move to Swan Hill in regional Victoria.

Until now, he’s been able to offer migrant workers a regional visa, but that competitive advantage over many major centres has now gone.

The local council and employers are frustrated about a Federal Government declaration that anywhere outside of Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney is now a “regional” area for migration.

That means skilled migrants who come to Australia on regional visas can work in places such as Perth and the Gold Coast, bypassing country towns, and still apply for permanent residency after three years.

“I can’t see how they’re regional at all,” said Jason King.

He manufactures semi-trailers in Swan Hill, a town of 11,000 people located 340 kilometres north-west of Melbourne.

“It will be very hard for us to compete. I think Swan Hill won’t stand a chance, to be honest,” Mr King said.

“We struggle to source skilled labour here. We are so regionally based.”

Mr King said he was definitely looking for welding and fabrication workers — “skilled labour people with auto-electrical and mechanical backgrounds”.

He said the business had tried all sorts of things to attract workers, including a drive-in-drive-out program during the week from towns within a two-hour radius.

“It worked for a while, but it was short-lived because people miss their families or friends,” he said.

Mr King said skilled migrants were vital for his 50-strong workforce, which turns out 100 custom-made semi-trailers a year for clients across the country.

Johnny Versoza is one of two Filipino welders the business has brought to Australia on two-year employer-sponsored regional visas, and the company has more migrant applications in the pipeline.

“It’s really good, I like it,” Mr Versoza said, even though Swan Hill is “quite a bit different” to his home city of Manila.

“If you want to live in quiet place away from traffic and a lot of people, Swan Hill is the place to be.”

But the country life might not be for everyone, and the lure of Australia’s better-known cities, such as Perth and the Gold Coast, was likely to be strong for many prospective skilled migrants, he said.

“Yes, I think so. When I was back in the Philippines I heard a lot about the bigger cities here in Australia, and for me, I think people love to come [to them],” he said.

That’s what worries Swan Hill Rural City Council about the Government’s decision to open up so many of the country’s big cities to regional migration.

Adelaide, Darwin and Hobart have been listed as regional for a while, but Perth, the Gold Coast and some other large urban centres are recent additions.

“It’s going to make it a lot more difficult to convince people to come to what is still outer regional, because migrants tend to want to go to things they’ve heard about and cities that resonate more for them,” said Muriel Scholz, the council’s economic development officer.

The council made a submission to a federal parliamentary inquiry into regional migration.

While Swan Hill is small compared with its metro cousins, its annual economic output is a hefty $2.7 billion, driven by fruit, vegetable and nut production, food processing and industrial manufacturing.

But it needs outside labour as unemployment in Swan Hill is very low at 3.2 per cent — well below the national average.

The council is calling on the Federal Government to provide extra incentives for migrants who choose to settle in outer regional areas — such as Swan Hill — rather than in major cities and the regional centres close to them.

“It would be good to give such migrants a quicker path to permanent residency, so say, instead of waiting three years, make it two,” Ms Scholz said.

Under new regional visas introduced this month, skilled migrants must work in regional areas for three years — up from two years — before they may apply for permanent residency.

The Government is also abandoning the visa which allows immediate permanent residency for skilled migrants sponsored by employers — the visa that Mr Versoza is on.

Mr Versoza said guaranteed residency was a very important factor for him “because when you’ve got permanent residency the government offers to get your family and bring them back here to Australia, and it’s a very good place here”.

‘What’s not to love about the Gold Coast?’

Translator Silvia Martinez and her husband Carlos Pedraza came to Australia from Colombia as skilled migrants 13 years ago.

They did their “regional time” in Adelaide, rather than a smaller country town, before moving on to Brisbane and eventually settling with their two sons in the Gold Coast where Silvia helps migrants access training and work.

“There isn’t much information about smaller country towns,” she said.

“We didn’t know about what sort of industries were there or opportunities. When you think about small towns you don’t think of major job roles in those places.”

She believes there is a danger places like Swan Hill will miss out on migrants “unless they do programs to promote and put out there what’s available”.

PHOTO: The Martinez family originally moved to Adelaide to do their “regional time”. (ABC News: Dominique Schwartz)

“When you think of the Gold Coast, there’s so much to do, [such as] the parks and beach and it’s easier to access medical services in a bigger town,” she said.

“If it was me, I’d definitely choose the Gold Coast.”

Swan Hill council is actively promoting its region to prospective workers with a campaign called Dream Swan Hill.

“We actually have more days of sunshine than the Gold Coast and a wonderful lifestyle,” Ms Scholz said.

But with 48,000 job vacancies outside metro Australia — most of them for skilled workers, according to the Regional Australia Institute — places like Swan Hill could do with an extra hand from government.

Prime Morrison Scott Morrison has said that while “much of the focus is on regional areas … it’s important we have the opportunity for people to go where they are needed”, such as “outside the big city areas including Adelaide, Darwin, Hobart and Newcastle”.

By requiring skilled migrants to stay in regional areas for three years, rather than two, “the Government anticipates that many … will choose to remain in regional Australia once they become permanent residents,” a spokesperson for the Home Affairs Department said. (491 / 494 비자를 3년을 거주해야 191 영주비자를 신청할 수 있게 한 이유가 여기에 있습니다. 즉, 정주고 산 지역을 영주하는 곳으로 할 것이라는 기대감 때문입니다.)

Designated Regional 지역이 확장 되면서

크게 2가지 영향을 주게 됩니다.

1. 호주에서 공부를 2019년 11월 16일 전부터 하고 마쳤거나 또는 현재공부를 하는 유학생들의 Regional points
2. Regional 지역에 거주하는 친인척의 스폰서쉽을 받아 491 비자를 신청하려는 경우

2019년 11월 16일 변경되는 regional 지역의 확장으로 위의 2가지 경우가 소급적용됩니다.

즉, 다시 말해 NSW 주의 월롱공 / 뉴카슬  등에서 공부를 한 유학생의 경우 regional 점수 5점을 추가로 받을 수 있습니다.

또는 이 지역에 거주한 친인척이 있는 경우 regional resident 로서 491 비자의 친인척 스폰서쉽을 위한 거주 자격조건을 만족하게 됩니다.

관려된 분들 참고하세요.

• I’m a Queensland postgraduate alumni )(QLD 석사 / 박사 졸업 한 경우)

Please also carefully check the Queensland Skilled Occupation List to confirm whether your occupation remains on the list: (직업군은 예고 없이 변경 가능함에 유의)

Queensland Skilled Occupation List  (현재 목록)

Occupations removed from the list (기존 직업군 목록에서 제거된 직업군)

Please do not submit your EOI if you do not meet criteria or if your occupation has been removed from the relevant list as it will not be picked up. (현 직업군 목록에 있는 경우만 EOI 제출해야 함)

Updated EOI’s will not be picked up or considered. You must submit a BRAND NEW EOI from 25 November 2019. No EOIs prior to this date will be considered. (새로운 EOI 를 제출해야 함; 기존의 것에 변경된 EOI는 선택에서 제외될 것임) 

Please ensure you have all documents ready to upload prior to submitting an EOI. Do not contact us to ask for an update on your application as at this significantly slows down processing times. (모든 최소충분 조건을 만족한 신청인 만이 EOI 제출해야)

Note: The BSMQ Skilled Program may only be open for a limited time depending on the demand for the program. (190 비자를 위한 nomination 은 무려 하루도 안되어서 마감됨)

안녕하세요.

11월 25일 오픈했다고 공지를 받고
고객님의 문의가 있어 가 보니 이미 190 비자를 위한 nomination 은 마감 (헐~ 황당하네요 ㅠㅠ)

처음에는 제 눈을 의심했어요 ㅠㅠ
두번째는 now closed 라는 말이 2019년 11월 16일 전에 문구로서 update를 하지 않았나 하면서… 아 그런데 아니네요. 진짜 closed ㅠㅠ

이 뜻은 QLD 주의 경우  2020년 7월 1일 전까지 190 비자는 더 이상 못 받는다 (quota를 다 채웠다?) 로 이해가 됩니다.

단 하루 만에 마감이라 흠…

참 준비된 사람들이 많이 있었음을 새삼 배웁니다. ㅠㅠ

2018/2019 회계년도 vs 2019/2020 회계년도
부모 비자 및 가족 비자 예정된 최대 수 

부모비자의 처리대기시간은 매우 깁니다.

현재 2019년 10월 기준으로 아래와 같습니다.

Queue release dates

As at October 2019, we have released for final processing:

• Contributory Parent visa applications with a queue date up to September 2015 (기여 부모비자의 경우)
• Parent visa applications with a queue date up to August 2010 (부모비자의 경우)
• Aged Parent visa applications with a queue date up to May 2012 (고령 부모비자의 경우)

처리 시간

Processing times

Once we reach the number of visa places available in the current Migration Program year we will consider any applications that have been queued and released for final processing, but not yet finalised, for a place in a subsequent year.

Contributory Parent, Parent and Aged Parent visa processing times change for a number of reasons, including: (아래 요소들이 처리 시간에 영향을 줌)

• changes in planning levels
• how many visa applications are submitted
• how many applications are withdrawn or refused
• Administrative Appeals Tribunal remits
• Ministerial Intervention cases
• changes to processing directions

We don’t provide processing times for Contributory Parent, Parent, Contributory Aged Parent and Aged Parent visa applications. Applications for these visas are subject to capping and queueing.

However, based on current planning levels, we estimate new Contributory Parent visa applications lodged that meet the criteria to be queued are likely to take approximately at least 52 months to be released for final processing. (기여부모비자의 경우 최소 52주 소요됨)

New Parent and Aged Parent visa applications lodged that meet the criteria to be queued are likely to take approximately 30 years for final processing. (새로운 부모비자 및 고령부모비자의 경우 대략 30년이 소요될 전망)
