I have created my EOI even if I have already lodged my application before the 1st of July, today I received a message, just 100 invitations for the first round through skill select.
It means that these new applicants, even if they will have priority in CAT 4 against us, probably they are too few to actually impact on the CO allocation process.
Maybe I'm too optimistic, but they shouldn't delay, at least in August, the CO allocation for 175ers.
Crossing fingers to have a CO soon for us all!
