Hi all,

I have 65 points for 189 and have applied EOI on Sep 5...

I guess, per the Sep 15th invitation round results in the forum, some of the 65ers have started getting invites..

This has built my hopes.. From the forums I could see that a person applied on 14 July with 65 points has got an invite..

Is there anybody who applied later than that who got an invite with 65 points???


So what do you say guys.. for those who applied in August/September..
Do we stand a chance in October 1 round..

:ranger:

Do share your thoughts...

Mate I don't mean to discourage anyone but keep in mind that an applicant regardless of their date is picked based on their points.

Only when there is a tie of points will they invite the applicants on first come first serve.

A total of 900 maximum invitations was specified for September.

Good luck guys!

Hi All,

I have 6+ yrs of Exp in IT Industry. Cleared IELTS with 7.5 across all bands and waiting for Positive ACS Skills assessment.

I have 65 points EXCLUDING State Sponsorship.

I have few questions related to the Visa process. Your Valuable guidance is required.:

1) I have applied for ACS Assesment against "261314 SOFTWARE TESTER". So Software testers can apply ONLY for 190 State sponsorship Visa. Please correct me if I am wrong.

2) If State sponsorship is the only option I can apply for Victoria and South Australia. Am I right ?

3) Once I get my assessment, Should I file EOI first or should I apply for state sponsorship ?

4) If EOI is the next step, then will I get invitation for 190 visa from the concerned states automatically ?

5) For VIC State Sponsorship, I have seen the eligibility and they ask for $40000 AUD as the savings. Any idea what kind of documents would they accept as a proof

6) I would be travelling along with my wife, so if that is the case then will state sponsorship depends on my wife's Language skills ?

I know I am too far from all these but want to get ready with the necessary documents if any.
Please help me.


Thanks a ton,
HYD -> AUS ! :)

4) If EOI is the next step, then will I get invitation for 190 visa from the concerned states automatically ? Once your SS is approved, they will notify DIAC and they will send you invite

5) For VIC State Sponsorship, I have seen the eligibility and they ask for $40000 AUD as the savings. Any idea what kind of documents would they accept as a proof. Bank statements and they check for liquid amount

6) I would be travelling along with my wife, so if that is the case then will state sponsorship depends on my wife's Language skills ? NO, your wife has to give IELTS to safe second visa installment you can submit that before visa approval.

I know I am too far from all these but want to get ready with the necessary documents if any.

No. I haven't yet. But I saw someone posting here abt his invite received yesterday with 65 points and EOI submitted on 14th Sep. So, I strongly believe that I will get mine in Oct 15 round. But u never know how many more people will apply with say 70 points and above till that time. And also we don't know how many more 65ers are still pending who applied before me. So, ALL I CAN DO IS HOPE FOR THE BEST :) My code is 2613 - analyst programmer. What abt yours. Details on points and dates plz...

Hi All,

I have applied for a Victoria SS under subclass 190 for the System Analyst category. My points claimed for Victoria SS is 70 points. Since my skill set is in both General (189 ) and State Nomination is it possible to have the EOI for both the categories 189(General) and 190 (State)

IELTS : R-9,L-8.5,S-7.5,W-7 VIC SS APP/ACK/APP - 2nd August 2012/6th Aug 2012/Waiting Skill Set : System Analyst

A quick reply will be appreciated.

Wow. Your IELTS score is exactly the same as mine. And yes. You can submit for both subclasses in the same EOI.

Hi Vivekananda,

Thanks for the response. I guess I should have updated my EOI in August itself but my consultant confused me mentioning I cannot apply under both categories at the same time. I have missed 4 rounds of invitations since then but I guess since I had only 65 points it didn't matter much.

No. It did matter as few people who got the invitation today had their eoi submitted in sep 2nd week with 65 points. May be u might have got it by now. Anyways best of luck. And one more thing. Keep chasing ur consultant for each and everything. I think they will never look into forums like these to understand various scenarios which users have shared. They only go by the info given in the diac website. My consultant had the same doubt as you but I immediately shown him the diac immigration micro blog which clearly provides the answer that I gave you. So get all the access/credentials wherever they have applied ur docs and keep a check. You are paying ur hard earned money. U hv every right to access all info n work they do for you. So don't let such delays affect ur progress on the aus dream. Good luck.

Thanks again for the valuable information. I just called up my consultant and gave them a piece of my mind. I am now keeping my fingers crossed. The good news is that of the 1800 odd business/system analyst invitations only 131 have been filled up and there are still quite a lot to go.

Hoping to post a positive by end of this month.

Yes. Definitely you will get it but it is just a matter of time. I will bet on your chances of getting it should no longer be more than another two rounds at max. I am also keeping my fingers crossed for the next round on 15th.

Funny thing: I login to skillselect some 10 times a day though I know there is nothing to be found in the inbox ;) I don't know ho many people are like me doing this.

Hi,

Just spoke to my consultant again and she was saying that it might be a risk to apply under both categories as the State rules say that you should apply for only a single state. I am not sure whether that is a true statement.

I wanted to understand what shall I do in the following two scenarios

Scenario 1
==========

- I get a Victoria SS 190 sponsorship ( expected 6th Nov 2012 ) and have not yet got the 189

Scenario 2
==============
- I get a 189 sponsorship on 1st Nov 2012.

As per my knowledge but not sure though.

Scenario 1

Your eoi will be frozen unless you reject the VIC ss.

After doing the round of research I think following will hold good

Scenario 1
=============

I get a Victoria SS 190 approval before 189

- I will have to either accept or reject the 190 approval only after I do that my EOI will be released for subclass 189. If I accept the 190 then what can I say I will be flying to Melbourne :D

Scenario 2
==================

I get a 189 before Victoria SS

- I would be really lucky if I get this and if I accept then I would be again flying to Australia but this time my options would be open to live and work anywhere across the country. :D

Although either of the scenarios are a win win but I would still love to fall under scenario 2.
