The ACT Government has advised that they have met their program targets for the Skilled- Nominated (Subclass 190) visa for the 2013/14 financial year.
Accordingly, no further application for ACT nominaton from overseas residents will be accepted effective from 25 March 2014. The program will reopen, most likely with a revised list of occupations, in July 2014.
Persons living in Canberra and working in a skilled occupation are still able to apply for ACT nomination providing they meet the current nomination criteria.
Applications for ACT nomination already submitted before COB on 25 March 2014 will continue to be processed in queue order.
The ACT Government has also noted that they received a large number of applications prior to the changes they made to their Occupations List in February this year. As a result, the processing time for applications lodged from late February onwards may be as long as 4 to 6 months.
