Order of Consideration for Processing Visa applications and nomination

Department of Home Affairs has direction for the order of consideration for processing Visa applications. It will help that which visa application should be considered or dispose of in an appropriate order. Even they can review the decision on these bases of consideration and the priority list is given below: 

1. Employer-Sponsored Visa or Regional Sponsored Visa

In this kind of visa applicant’s occupation is usually in the Priority Migration Skilled Occupation List (PMSOL). 

Both applications are equally important whether the applicant is nominated by an employer to the Global Talent Employer-Sponsored Agreement or through the Global Talent Program. 

So as Subclass 188 visas in the Significant Investor Stream and other subclasses 188 visa applications are equally important. 

1. Priority Applicants who work in the critical sector. 
2. Employer-Sponsored Visa or Regional Sponsored Visa in which the employer is under the labor agreement under DAMA. 
3. Subclass 494 
4. Subclass 491
5. Employer-Sponsored Visa 482 and 186.
6. Subclass 187 
7. Subclass 489
8. Subclass 190
9. Subclass 189
10. Then all other visa applications. 

And eventually, priority is given to the onshore applicants over offshore applicants.
