A statement released by Immigration SA says the state nomination program will close at 11 am on 14 August 2019 for the subclass 489 visa.
"Due to the high volume of applications, Immigration SA will stop accepting state nomination applications for the subclass 489 visa at 11 am on 14 August 2019. All applications that have been saved but not submitted (including applications which have been 'submitted but not paid') will be deleted at 11 am on this date," the statement reads.
The federal government has set 10 September 2019 as the last day for states and territories to nominate subclass 489 applications in SkillSelect.
It is to allow applicants 60 days to lodge their Skilled Regional (Provisional) 489 visa application to the Department of Home Affairs before the visa ceases on 15 November 2019.
