The RSMS Direct entry subclass 187 is an Australian permanent residency work visa. The first stage of the RSMS Direct entry process requires applying to the RCB for advice on the suitability of the employer and position.
Immigration SA, the state body that is the Regional Certifying Body (RCB) for RSMS in SA, has announced the following:
“Changes to the way employers demonstrate how they have tested the labour market:
Removal of the peer review process (implemented on 21 June, 2013).
Reduction in the number of documents applicants are required to upload. Some documents have been replaced with a series of online questions.
In some instances, the employer will be able to provide the RCB with a statutory declaration to support their application.”
There are also new Exemptions from labour market testing for the following:
Employers who are approved 457 sponsors, who can demonstrate that the skilled migrant they are nominating has been working for them in the nominated occupation for at least 12 months.
