They are proportional, but with a proportion of 2.3:1 approx (this is just a guess, could be more or less, but supposedly >2). Each applicant on average has a spouse and some have a child. So, 13093 (invites) * ~2.3 = 30113 (visas). With only 28850 visas planned for Regional, there are no places left. I hope it's clear. You should not mix the "invites" with "visas granted".

Guys, let me guess... All of us waiting have Brisbane/Team34, right?

Dear Thomas. According to your statement: "As per statistics, the Skilled Regional Sponsored GSM Category may have about 8000 places left." Can you share the link where you got this number from (8000)? What is the source of your statistics (or do you simply share your assumptions)? FYI, Invites/Nominations are not Visas. 9009 visa invites/nominations may result in 18018 granted visas if EACH invited skilled migrant goes with a spouse (on average) - etc. (simple math - multiply by 2 to understand the logic). What if we start accounting for children and dependents? But, let's not - we don't have the statistical data. Till date, DIBP has NOT shared/published any statistics on the number of actual visas granted for this financial year. One could give his own assumtion - I assume there are only 5 (five) visas left, not 8000 (both points of views are just assumptions, not based on official statistics, correct)? Please don't confuse people with your assumptions.
