Have a question for someone knowledgeable about the Work Experience part of the 189 visa application form, where they ask for your last 10 years of work experience... When I filled out my Expression of Interest I only included the 2.5 years in my current role as I thought that experience in the Nominated Profession was all they cared about. I am now in the process of filling out the visa application proper and it's occurred to me that they might want to see evidence of employment (outside of my nominated profession) from the past 10 years, to ensure that I'm not going to arrive and go straight on the dole. Does anyone know if they really care about other jobs? I'm reluctant to mention other stuff as I haven't put it on my EOI (and also, it's going to be a pain to get references for some of it). All thoughts and advice appreciated...

Glad to hear it mate. Have a question for someone knowledgeable about the Work Experience part of the application form, where they ask for your last 10 years of work experience...

IELTS score was 9 overall so I managed to get superior English... and ACS code was "ICT Business Analyst - 261111".

Submitted my EOI on 22/05/2015...

Yep, I got an invite today as well (ICT Business Analyst with 65 points) - so looks like another batch have gone out... Great to get the invite, but frustrating they still not updated the website regarding July's round. http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Skil

Hi Folks, Read a rumour the next invitation round will be 15th August, has that been officially confirmed yet? Also, any official word on when they will publish the stats for the July round? (be great to figure out how far off I am getting an invite) Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the info CaptainC... will relax for the moment then and check the website in a week so.

Anyone know when they will publish stats from the 6th July on the website? would be great to see what scores are getting invited in each profession...
