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!
Skill Select updated to 23rd October
They released 25 invitations and the cut off date was 26 August (70 points)
Next invitation rounds: 6th and 20th of November
Best wishes!!
I am freaking out at the moment, My visa expires this month.. EOI effect date 6th sep 70 points.. Not sure if i will get it in this round or are they even going to invite any.. does anyone knows any other visa options than student? something like a visitor visa may be?
Accountants with 70 points were invited during the October 23rd invite round and the date of effect is 26 August 2015 3.17 pm. Did any one from this page get invited during that round?
What should be the application type in the intial stage of filling ACS application form online?
i wanted to apply for 189 class and i am 5 years experienced software engineer.
Application type=skills ?

I have uploaded the list on google doc, so that any of us can edit and see the progress. Please add you name if it is not present. It's for VISA 189 only.

Very good work bro.. i got your message notification in my email but i cant see ur message in my message.. i think u asked me which state i applied for 190 back then.. it was nsw .. but i did not go ahead with it.. i want to wait for 189
Only 490 accountant visas a have been approved till now. 8 months to go and around 2000 approvals are left. What are the chances of the immigration increasing the number of invites for accountants in the coming invite rounds?? say like 100 for each invite round

It is strange that they are holding back on the invites for Accountants. This time last year they were giving ~400 invites a month, and now it is down to ~50.
In the 7 September round the ceiling for "External Auditors" was reached (1000). That means that about 400 invites were given out in 1 months to these applicants, and only 20 invites to Accountants. My opinion is that a lot of agents and individuals saw applying as an External Auditor a "loop hole" as you only needed 60 points and it is not done pro-rata as with Accountants.
I think the Dept of Immigration noticed this "loop hole" and are now giving out less invites to Accountants because of this... Just my opinion!!!
It seems they are being fussy and only taking candidates with very high points scores, being 70 to 75.
I have a feeling Accountants are going to be removed from the skills list from July 2016. There have been talks about it for a while now...
pls add me 222211 60 points 17/09/2015. Cant believe that 60 pointer from 23/3/2015 hasn't got invitation. It seems that 60 pointers have no chance at all
That is why this is Australia, my friend. Lol. To be very honest with you guys, I have been here for four months and I wish I never came here. You all might feel very pessimistic with all the negative side of things that I am posting but this is supposedly the reality. Only the idiots at DIBP can explain why they would not pro-rata auditors and now send invitations to auditors from NSW SS also? I feel for people who are stuck at 55 and 60, let alone people like us who at least have a slight (only may be) a slight edge. I know DIBP is only scaring people by doing this since this country and its educational sector will simply such if business is taken off the list, but unfortunately, it had to be when I applied. Lol. And the market, oh lord, you can apply to 4-500 jobs and you will only get rejections!
On a positive side, I am sure once NSW goes ahead with its invites, you will receive it, and this should be very soon. Just go ahead and accept it and don't wait for 189 to come in. At the worst, you will lose 300 bucks. If NSW expedites and nominates before your 189 comes in, go for 190. If not, waiting for 189 will always be there. Apparently, there are no jobs in Melbourne, forget going anywhere else in Australia. Just a suggestion!!
Guys i am on 457 visa at this moment have 65 points EOI submitted 31 july, would it b a good idea if i update EOI for 190 and stand on 70 point with beter place to hope get invite sooner or should wait for another month?
Any advise pl from any one guys??
1) When does your 457 expire?
2) Are you already living in a state that sponsors accountants?
There isn't much chance of getting an invite with 65 points for at least a couple of months in my opinion (my EOI is a few days before yours) so if time is a factor then I'd hedge my bets and go for the 190 as well.
My understanding (other members correct me if I'm wrong!) is that SS can take a few months to come through anyway and if you're on a visa expiring soon, you won't be able to get a bridging visa until you've actually applied for another type of visa so my view would be better to be safe than sorry.
Sorry to hear that Tired - I think you will get in next round though, you're near the top of the 70 pointer list now so shouldn't be too much longer for you :fingerscrossed:
