This Thread is for accountants who submitted their EOI and awaiting the invite both visa sc 189 & 190.
lets share our details and experience with skill select and visa processes so every one could estimate their chances in getting invited in the next invitation rounds!
There is one bit of advice I can not seem to find but am keen for regarding maximising my points for my 15 years of accounting experience.
I am a Management Accountant that has progressed well in one bluechip company over the last 15 years. However when CPA have assessed my experience In the last ten years they consider I only have 4 years of key management accounting experience. This is because as I was encouraged to broaden my experience if I wanted to become a finance director, therefore I did 4 years an internal auditor within that company and 2 years as an accountant designing and implementing a new General Ledger and AP/AR system. Unfortunately these 2 broader experience jobs do not seem to have qualified as management accountant roles in the eyes of CPA.
My question is has anyone suffered a similar issue and overcome it somehow by including broader accountancy experience to gain more points?
Hi, is Mark sheets of all year and degree certificate are enough to get positive assessment from IPAA or transcript from university is compulsory to get positive outcome?
July - September round for 221111 is following last year trend with demand slightly increased. If it follows same pattern as last year then 65+5 with superior English will definitely get NSW invitation. It all depends on how October - December skillselect round performs???!!! It must show backlog of 70 pointers to decreased.
I am new on this page and it has really helpful content. Appreciate the effort.
I submitted my EOI last week for ACT state nomination visa 190 under General Accountant. I am currently doing a PHD in Canberra, ACT. My details are:
Bachelors and Masters assessed equivalent to Australian standards (15 points),
Age 24 years (25 points),
PTE 90 across all (20 points)
5 points for state.
Total points 65.
Although not in a hurry but anyone knows the approx time I should keep in mind until I receive an EOI?

I think you'll prob find it better to contact ACT directly. Most information you see here is on 189 and 190 NSW ( which most people are able to apply for).
A friend of mine who applied for SA nomination found them very helpful, so hopefully yours will be the same.
How is NT state nomination for offshore applicants? Accountants are on the NT list but website states that some oxcupations may need a job offer withouts specifying which ones.
For people on shore min 3months work experience in relevant field in NT is needed to apply for 489 visa.. for exceptional circumstances you can even apply for 190..
This is valid only for Onshore..with a 485 visa only.. other visas you got to show funds and so on..
I'm new here, I must say thanks to this forum I've understood a lot of things.
Anyway, talking about the thread, I submitted me EOI for the 189 visa on September 22nd for Accountants General, with 70 points (I don't know how to put my history in the signature).
I think there's a bit of confusion with Accountants these days, with the pro rata thing going on...so I was wondering whether it is reasonable to expect an invitation in October...or it is still too early maybe?
From the information given by those who got invited (since the report isnt out), the 70 point accountant cutoff is currently at about mid august.
With the cutoff moving at about slightly more than a week per round, it's probably more realistic to expect the invitation at around nov-dec the way it is currently moving.
I need a quick help. I am single and submitting EOI.
In the Family members section, it is asking the following questions, where I have selected the answers as below
Are there any family members the client would like to include in a future application?*
Yes
How many family members?*
3
Would the client be accompanied by the client's partner in a future application?*
No
Can you please let me know what ever I have chosen is correct ? I have mentioned 3, assuming my yet to be spouse,father, mother would be dependents ? Also can I add my brother and sis and increase the count to 5 ?
Does it matter where you graduated from? State nomination is decided by humans, right and not an algorithm like skillselect.
So is an Ivy leaguer with 65 pts in the same bracket as someone with a degree from a lesser known university in Asia?
Hi mates.. as for the current trend the accountants invitations for this financial year might finish off by Mid or end Jan 2017.. am i true? This I predicted according to current flow of invitations issued.. any ideas n thoughts guys???
Yes Azerty.. what i did was.. total remaining invitations divide by 10(as daily applications submitted according to current trend) will make up the ceiling for mid or end jan max.. which is sad news...
Does anyone know how NSW priorities the applications for nominations? I just saw another member (AUS1984)applied for a nomination in the end of September and already got his approval. While theres some others who have been waiting for longer than that...Any comments?
No man.. what i am saying is, at the end of reaching the ceiling of 2500 for this FY the last cutoff date it's gonna move is maximum upto end jan 2017 with the current flow of invites. Applicants after January who submit eoi's would need to wait until next FY to get invited.. I'm telling all this because of the current flow invitations issued by DIBP.. if its more than 10 submissions a day would further reduce the final cutoff date for this FY.. hope u get me..
I got it now, it is true but what about state nomination quota? Offcourse 70 pointers won't wait that long and they will go for 190, which means back log at the end of FY for 70 points around 2-3 months..
I have a question but it is really out of this topic. I Badly need your help guys before I enrol for summer semester this year and I don't want to have trouble in my future visa application. So here is my situation:
I'm currently studying Master of Professional Accounting
Course Start Date: 13/07/2015
Course End Date: 16/06/2017
Now, wanting to finish the degree earlier than expected. I am enrolling for summer semester this year, which runs from December 2016 - February 2017 but will be doing one of my subjects in another university so technically there will be a cross-institutional enrolment. Overall, below is the breakdown of the semesters that I did plus the last one.
July 2015 - October 2015 -- first semester (4 subjects)
December 2015 -January 2016 -- Went back home for holidays (So basically, I skipped the summer semester of last year)
February 2016 - June 2016 -- Second Semester (4 subjects)
July 2016 - October 2016 -- Third Semester (4 subjects)
November 2016 - February 2017 -- Final Semester (3 subjects in main uni, 1 subj for cross-institutional)
Technically, I'll be finishing by February 2017 (1.5years). Now the question is, will I still satisfy the Australian study requirements:
"have been completed in a total of at least 16 calendar months"
"have been completed as a result of at least two academic years of study"
"have been completed while you were physically in Australia"
"Two academic years of study is defined as 92 weeks of study in a course or courses registered by CRICOS. CRICOS determines a standard duration (number of weeks) for each course."
Guys your help will be very much appreciated!
Thank you,
Catherine
