Prediction for TAS State Requirements:
Graduate
Even if suggest need experience - there should not be exp requirement (esp. for PHD not at all)
Skilled
Critical with Gold Pass can lodge application instantly, Green will get high priority in waiting for invitation, and Orange will be waiting there for long and invited only if no
Priority to Skills based rather than Others including Edu in some aspect
Gateway the big issue if not critical or gold class application as to waiting
