Navigate to Australia with CIS: Understanding Victoria’s ROI for Skilled Visa Nomination
Why Consider Victoria’s Registration of Interest (ROI) for Skilled Visa?
CIS (Chiltern Immigration Services) assists in navigating the Registration of Interest (ROI) system, a crucial step for those aspiring to be nominated for Victoria’s skilled visa. For the 2023-24 program, applicants must submit a new ROI, which stays active in the selection system until it is either selected, withdrawn, or the fiscal year concludes. The deadline for ROI submission is May 5, 2023.
Key Factors in ROI Selection for Skilled Visas
Victoria’s government considers several criteria from the applicants’ Expressions of Interest (EOIs) and ROIs:
- Age
- English Proficiency
- Experience in the Nominated Occupation
- Educational Qualifications
- Partner’s Skills (if applicable)
- Salary (for onshore applicants)
Priority is given to occupations in fields like STEMM, healthcare, hospitality management (for 491 visa), advanced manufacturing, and education.
Post-Study Work Rights Extension
Post the 2022 Jobs and Skills Summit, international graduates in certain fields have extended work rights:
- Bachelor’s Degrees: From 2 to 4 years.
- Master’s Degrees: From 3 to 5 years.
- Doctoral Degrees: From 4 to 6 years.
- Regional Graduates: Additional 1-2 years on top of the extended period.
Types of Graduate Temporary Visas
