We are pleased to share the success story of one of our clients, an External Auditor, who recently received approval for their Skilled – Nominated (subclass 190) visa for New South Wales (NSW). This achievement highlights the importance of perseverance, careful preparation, and understanding the requirements for state sponsorship in one of Australia’s most competitive regions. This detailed case study shows Tony’s expertise as a Senior Lawyer at Kris Ahn Lawyers.
The Journey to NSW 190 Visa Approval: Patience and Preparation
The application process began on April 18, 2023, when our client, fully prepared and aware of the challenges ahead, submitted their application for the NSW 190 visa. After nearly 17 months of waiting, on September 2, 2024, the effort and patience were rewarded with the grant of the 190 visa. This timeline illustrates the sometimes lengthy, yet ultimately rewarding nature of the visa application process, especially in high-demand states like NSW.

Achieving a High Points Score for NSW State Sponsorship
Our client was able to distinguish themselves in a competitive pool of applicants with a total of 90 points, including points awarded for state sponsorship. This high score was a crucial factor in their successful application. The invitation to apply for the visa came during the last fiscal year, shortly after NSW’s significant invitation round at the close of the financial year. Achieving such a high score requires not only meeting the basic eligibility criteria but also excelling in areas such as professional experience, qualifications, and language proficiency.
Understanding the Competitive Landscape for Skilled Migration in NSW
New South Wales remains one of the most competitive states for skilled migration due to its substantial economic opportunities and high standards for applicants. For experienced professionals, especially in fields like accounting and auditing, securing a nomination requires a thorough understanding of the state’s requirements and the broader national criteria. Our client’s success is a testament to their qualifications and ability to navigate this challenging environment effectively.
Tips for a Successful Skilled – Nominated (Subclass 190) Visa Application
For those considering applying for state sponsorship under the Skilled-nominated (subclass 190) visa, there are several key takeaways from this case:
- Preparation is Key: Thoroughly understand the requirements and prepare all necessary documentation.
- Maximize Your Points: Strive to achieve the highest possible points by excelling in your professional field, gaining relevant experience, and ensuring proficiency in English.
- Persistence Pays Off: The application process can be long and demanding. Persistence and patience are essential.
