Thank you so much CaptainC! Hiii.. yes I totally forgot to mention about 190 EOI. The reason making me want to skip this is because I'm not so interested in living in Sydney where it's so expensive and hard to find job. I thought that once I am given 190 visa I will be obliged to live in Sydney or NSW for 2 years and it's too long for me. But you just shed the light on the issue. Can I ask how come people get visa 190 and still can work or live in other state? Isn't it illegal? Is there any fine for that broken commitment? Btw, one person suggested me to apply for state nomination's approval in next 10 days . Then approval will take 25-30 days. Next, once I get the approval , I will have 60 days time. By the time , I might get 189. It's only waste of 300 bucks if I get invite in 189. I'm not so sure about this suggestion because of lack of knowledge. But I think I will follow your advice as 190 doesn't obey the rule of rounds or so; thus, I'm not sure if I might be invited by any state in future. Once again, thank you and I look forward to your reply.

Hi CaptainC, Surprisingly, I just received an invitation for visa 190 NSW. I heard people said that invitee would have 60 days to apply but in my case it's totally different. In the email, they advise me that I have only 14 days to apply, meaning that the invitation will expire in October 29. I strongly want to get visa 189 but as you know it's so unpredictable to know whether i can get an invite before 9 December when my points will be deducted because of my age. Honestly, I jst have idea of skipping this because even I lose 5 points after 9 December, I still can apply 190 again with new EOI and at that time my points will be 55+5 (state sponsor). What do you think? Would you please give me some advises related to whether I should grasp this opportunity or wait for upcoming rounds. Also, do you know when we can see the 9 October round results? ----------------------------- Social Worker - 272511 IELTS L/R/S/W 7/7/7/7.5 Skill Assessment: 18/9/2015 EOI: 21/9/2015 Visa 189 - 60 points Visa 190 - 65 points (any states) Invitation - awaited

Thanks CaptainC! I just hope your prediction of late Nov will be correct; otherwise a last chance for me is beginning of December. Fingers crossed.

Hi CaptainC, My EOI was submitted on 21 September (60 points). Do you think I might get an invite before 9 December? I'm a bit anxious at the moment as losing 5 points due to my age on that date. -------------- Social Worker - 272511 IELTS L/R/S/W 7/7/7/7.5 Skill Assessment: 18/9/2015 EOI: 21/9/2015 visa 189 - 60 points Invitation - awaited
