The invitation rounds have been delayed by a week and would be held on 12th and 26th July, instead of 1st and 3rd Wednesday as it is usually done
It's probably done so that the DIBP official get time to implement the new decisions Which will be announced on 1st July
The Maximum number of invites per round have been capped at 1000 for 189 and 200 for 489
In July 2016 3050 invites were issued for 189 alone so this year the number of invites has been capped at 2/3 only
So the cutoff calculation for each category have gone for a toss and will have to be reworked
During the entire last year 30,000 invites were issued under 189 so even if they have decided to spread the invites evenly, there would be 6,000 lesser invites
Will have to wait for further clarification on 1st July
As there has been a new stream added as 189 NZ stream, probably the 6,000 invites have been earmarked for them from within the overall quota of 30,000
Either ways it's bad news for categories having pro Rata invites
Please do add if you get any new information or if I have missed anything which is already known
Cheers
