Hi

need to know the date of effect for general accountants got invited?

any accountant with 65 points please share his/her date of effect who got invited yesterday?

Hi Ausstar,

I have a friend who got invitation in the Feb 3rd round, she lodged EOI in late July 2015 with 65 points as general accountant. I am not sure when was your lodgement, but it seems 65 points do have a fair chance for invitation now.

Good luck!

I would say that you've got a moderate to high chance of being invited on the next round

Hi Captain,

Good news to share! I got invitation on 18/12/15 and lodged visa application the same day. Then I got visa granted on 08/01/16! Super quick!

Sorry for the late post as I went out for a long holiday and just got back yesterday.

Thank you very much for your help! Wish all the best to others waiting. :wink:

No worries. As I mentioned in my post to you a few weeks back, I am fairly certain of a December invite for you.

Thanks a lot @Captain! Fingers crossed for 18th! I shall come to update my status then!

Hi Captain,

 

I haven't got an invitation this round.... Should I expect the next one? Is there any chance I can get invited this year?

 

I noticed someone got invited with lodgement on 13/09/2015. Should I be positive with mine being in next round?

 

Thanks in advance for your help Captain!

Hi Captain,

Could you please kindly refer to my query?

Thank you! @Captain

You're one of the lucky ones to have 70 points. I would say that you're looking at December for an invitation.

Thank you very much Captain! If I can get the invitation this year, it will be the best new year present! :wink:

Hi,

I would like to share my personal experience of taking both IELTS-G and PTE-A with who concerns the comparison of these two tests.

I did 10+ times of IELTS before I tried PTE-A once. I got similar results with IELTS every time, about L 8 R 7.5 W 6.5 S 7. However, after so many times of failure to get 7 in each topic (especially for writing), I decided to try PTE-A for some luck. I did the preparation by completing the sample test on PTE's official website and went to have the test on a Saturday. I got L 67 R 66 S 60 W 76 for one attempt.

I reckon PTE-A is much harder to get the desired result (particularly speaking) than IELTS-G for the testers like me at the edge of 7 level. I have been doing IELTS for quite a long time and already been used to the structure and format. I find it pretty challenging to switch the pattern to a new type which requires a lot of testing skills during that 3 hours. Therefore, I went back to IELTS after that and finally got L 8 R 7.5 W 7 S 7 in my next attempt.

My suggestion is that unless you have plenty of time to prepare for PTE-A, you may stay with IELTS if you have already been doing it for a while. My experience is that you will eventually get what you want with IELTS if you try really hard for many times.

General Accountants

25 Sep 2015

Thanks a lot!

Thank you @Pommie! I would assume I might not be invited in September round... My backup plan is to apply for a student visa and work less if necessary...

I have been trying IELTS for several times but always get 0.5 point short... I might start to consider PTE...

Thank you for your advice @CaptainC!

I might not be able to get sponsorship from my employer because the company is not eligible to do it. Yes you are right I need extra points by doing English test...

I am also thinking about applying another student visa and work maximum 40 hours fortnightly after confessing to my employer...

It's really frustrating...:sad:

Hi,

I'm introduced by a friend to this website to check my position in the queue of waiting for 189 invitation.

I submitted my EOI on 3rd June for General Accountant, 60 points. I didn't get invited in July around obviously, I understand I have to wait longer... But my current visa is going to expire by the end of September. If I'm not invited by September around, I have to go back to my country waiting for my visa to be granted before I can come back!! I'm currently full-timely working, I don't want to lose my job.... :arghh:

Can anyone please share your own status? Or anyone could advise if I may get invited in the next 2 rounds? Or anyone has any idea of what other kind of visa I could apply while waiting so I can stay in Australia for my work...?

Please help!! SOS!!:cry:
