Occupation ceiling announced

[SparkleGirlSparkle]

Yeah this means only occupations on the sol can apply for independent and family sponsored visa, the csol list is for all state or employer sponsored visa's only.

I think it's more the fact that there are occupations on the Ceiling List that are not on the SOL OR CSOL list - like office manager / bricklayers and stonemasons. I am very confused.

7140 carpenters and joiners can't see that taking long to fill

Sigh, I'm officially screwed. I've got 65 points and I entered my EOI with my ID in the 3000s. I've been assessed as an Electrical Engineer. What wants to guess how many EEs have already applied?

With a ceiling of 1260, my chances are nill. I should've submitted a 175 when I had the chance!

9000 for Electricians which is one of the highest numbers I can see on there but I don't think it will take long to achieve that number?
Not sure what to think about that.

I'm also not sure what to do - whether to place our EOI or whether I'm supposed to wait to hear back on our state sponsorship first?
Any advice would be appreciated.
When can we lodge the EOI?

Thanks

Hi Fowler, which state have you submitted the sponsorship application for and when did you submit? If its Victoria, you will get the invite on approval of the sponsorship by Vic.

Hi walkwater

Thanks for your reply. Does that mean I don't need to lodge the EOI?

13380 Registered Nurses! Be interesting to see how long it takes before DIAC start moving on the EOIs or whether they are shifting the backlog of pre EOIs applications for 175/176 before they start looking at them?

You don't have to wait for the SS, but it will give you more points. Whether you do or don't have it you will now have to submit an EOI as you'll be applying through the new system. If I were you I would get SS before you apply as you will have more points-the new system doesn't work on a first come first serve basis, the more points the better.

Wouldn't surprise me if there are a few inaccuracies within the list as there is some duplication when you scroll down to the bottom.

No, you still need to lodge an EOI, but in the EOI select the state to which you have applied for sponsorship. Only Vic had started accepting application for sponsorship for 190 even before skill select went live.

WA requires that you first submit an EOI and then apply to them for sponsorship. As far as QLD is concerned, you have to lodge the EOI and then if you have selected QLD, they will contact you if they want to sponsor.

So if you can specify which state you applied for sponsorship and when you submitted the application, I can perhaps help to clear your doubt..
