This Thread is for accountants who submitted their EOI and awaiting the invite both visa sc 189 & 190.

I have applied 190 on 10th August 2015 with 65 points general accountant for NSW.

Hello Guys,
i Got positive assessment for my Academics from CPA but till now i did not receive my Assessment Letter which i was suppose to receive couple of weeks back. My question is can i use the E copy attachment they sent me through email?
Thanks in Advance....
 
#65 ·
I have a doubt. Very much appreciate any comments. I am an accountant with an accounting qualification and have accounting work experience. I am submitting visa under "Accountant-General- 221111" category. But last year I have started pursuing MBA on a Full Time basis. So obviously I will not be working as an accountant after MBA. CO will obviously decipher this fact when he is processing my visa application. Will this have any impact in the Visa outcome?

Hi there,
Please help me to solve my query.
i lodge my EOI, here are the details
Lodgement date: 20th april 2015
Visa class : 189
General Accountant
Points : 60

I also add 190 Visa class on 16th september 2015
So my points are now 65 for NSW VC 190 for general Accountant.

I lodge my second EOI for 489 regional visa class
with points: 70.


can anybody give me a rough idea, how long it takes to get an invitation from DIBP.
i am waiting for VC 189 because its nearly 5 months waiting as of 20th September.

How long it takes for 190 and 489.
Thank you.

Unfortunately NSW are only sending invites on a small scale at the moment so it is near impossible to estimate waiting times. I don't believe any 60+5 pointers have been invited since July.

After receiving a positive skill assessment from CPAA as external auditor I contacted them again enquiring about receiving a second assessment (as general accountant) to increase my options. My worry is that when NSW start issuing invites they concentrate of general accountants to the detriment of external auditors.

They informed me that receiving a second assessment will automatically render my first assessment invalid.

I plan to contact another of the assessing bodies to see if a second assessment from a different body can be done without cancelling the first.

Does anyone have any experience with this ? Is it possible to have 2 live assessments ?
If so, I don't see why this can't be provided by the same body.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Hi, yes, you can apply for a second skills assessment from another authorized assessing body like CA Australia. The first one assessing by CPA Australia is still valid and would not affect your second one, vice versa.

I do not know why CPA Australia can not provide two skills assessment for two professions, this is really inconvenient at all.
 
#73 ·
Thanks Sydney

CPA said they could do a second assessment for 118AUD as they have all the paperwork already so it would have been ideal if I could have used them again.

Hello house, I am about to apply for Australian pr with my spouse. However I have some questions. I am the primary applicant and I am sent my qualifications for assessment.
1. Does my spouse need to write the english exam?
2 can we frontload our medicals?
3. He is a dentist in our country but he doesn't want to practice that in Australia, he intends to do his masters first when we get pR....hope it wont be an issue?

Website update



Hey does anyone have an idea when the website will be updated for assessing the invites?

24 aug EOI INVITED 70 points
6 sept 70 points not invited

Thats all the information i have till now!!

I am a silent user of this forum. Situation is very frustrating for accounting and our chances of receiving invitation going lower. I submitted my EOI at 5th of June for 189 60 pts and 190 65 pts. based on the trend last few month i had 0% confident to receive my invitation with those current score. I updated my EOI again at 13th October right after complete my one year full time paid job as an accountant in NSW australia. Now my current scores are following: 189 (65) 190 (70) 489 (75). From current perspective, even for the 65 pointers do not have chance to receive invitation. The last cut off for 65 group was probably on July this year. This ****ing DIBP choosing few 70 and 70+ pointers for each round where as they can select more if they follow their own ****ing rules. These days PTE make it easy to get extra 10 Points for the applicant. If it goes like this who knows may be by December there will be a huge back log of 70+ pointers and the 65 category will be extinct. When Scoot morrison was the minister was DIBP, the administration was very uniform and professional and update their results on time. I don't know who the ****ing bustered in charges of this ministry putting down our life and future. I wish things will change soon. if not then it would be a biggest failure of my life after 6 years of hard try and thousands of dollars.

Anyone have any idea whats going on with Accounting EOIs? Last month DIBP only issued 20 invites and this time only 25 though a bi weekly round still remaining. Wondering what they are upto? I think they are trying to invite people from other fields first and if any places remain for the round, they then issue it to Accountants.

No one knows what happened to General Accountant category. First, they slashed half of the quota this year, followed by states (one by one) deleted General Accountant category in their occupation list. I saw some survey postings in DIBP website, apparently, many locals suggested not to take foreign General Accountant as PR as local accountants are sufficient. I really worry that one day DIBP will "zerorise" the quota of General Accountant category and/or all states stop sponsoring General Accountant.

Hello friends
. I have applied for at 65 points at accountant category at 1-10-2015. I was going through the earlier data and I found that DIBP has not been issuing the number reduced number of invite as compared to the actual prorata basis because of this waiting has been shot up.* However the invite sent to ICT Business and System Analysts and software and Applications Programmers are* almost same as to their prorata number.


According to me the reason for issuing less number of invite is

1) Auditor category got full in just 2 months, and they want to give the auditors skilled people a little time to that they can get their skills assessed and fall in this category

2) They want to balance the accountant + auditor together which other skills, so for the moment they are holding on the invites.

Once both the things are corrected they will send the invites as usual, it's just a patience game for all 65 pointers now. For 60 pointers hopefully they can get some invite at the end of the year, but not soon.*

Hey guy's,

How about we make our own waiting list like the other people in the forum are doing, this will help all of us in predicting about the invites in better way.

Those who want to include there name send me the details in the following format:-

221111 XX points DDMMMYY User ID

For eg mine would be
221111 70 points 21 Oct 2015 Ankit_smart

Hi on 18 april I applied for 189 at 60 points(general accounting) and on 21 august I gained extra 5 points of age. So, I just want to make it sure that do they consider date 21 august for eoi. Its bit annoying from last few invitations as they had not accepted their assigned pro-rata system, anyways I asked number of persons about this but no one is sure about what is going on
 
#110 ·
