I had my SS before my EOI went in, then I updated NSW with the EOI ID, so I think i'm all good. I think SuzieW may be right, you submitted your EOI on July 2nd, I submitted my EOI on the 12th, Suzie on the 18th, so they may be going with EOI submission date. Also, I have heard that there was only about 25 invites or so for NSW, you did well! Since the latest batch on Monday, I have not heard of one NSW invite going out.
Thanks again Katie, if I had not informed NSW of my EOI ID you have been a life saver!

Yea that was what I tot too...until I saw ppl in other forums getting invitations when they submitted their EOI ID on the same day as me! Really dunno wat's the hold up on the invite...KevR are u applying on ur own? If so, I suggest u give NSW Gov a call just to make sure ur invite is in the pipeline...

Hi Suzie,

Got a mail back from my agent, "No, we haven’t had any invitations yet Kevin but, we were warned that they are, for the first month, inviting less people so that they can work out the new system. I have been keeping an eye on the SkillSelect website to see if they have published any information but nothing as yet. ".

So it seems as we thought, just testing the new system before they up the numbers.

State sponsored skilled visa applications should lead to an invitation to progress the visa application almost immediately after the State Government has confirmed the sponsorship with DIAC.

That is what we have been advised by DIAC, and is supported by our early experiences.

Best regards.

Thanks for that Alan, I will keep on them.

Any 189 applicants heard back yet? All submitted and occupation approved by VETASSESS as 133112 project builder so fingers crossed in demand?

Thanks S

Hello, just a quick question do invites only go out once a month?

Thank you

Hi Kev,

I got a call from my agent yday! Finally got the long awaited invite!!! Agent's currently struggling to lodge the visa due to system bugs :S But I'm just relieved to have it! Urs should be on its way otherwise it may be time to investigate the delay...
