Thanks such a great feeling! We are offshore, it was a 189 and our IED is 22nd Nov 2018

I got a direct grant today [emoji3] We applied on the 8th December 2017

I’m an just about to submit my visa application, looking for advise of the best method of paying the fee in order to minimise transaction fees. I’ll be applying from the UK so assume if I use my credit card there will be a fee for paying in Australian Dollars.

I'm about to apply for the 189 visa and I'm pulling together the documents required to be uploaded. It says for employment evidence to submit payslips, how many do they need? I have my p60s so will upload those just not sure on what's acceptable on the payslips. Thanks in advance Sent using Poms in Oz mobile app

It's so frustrating! I have my medical booked in November really hoping it will sorted out by then! Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

It would seem that fake EOIs have been flooding the system for a while so maybe they are taking some time just now to review all invites previously issued. They could send invites out with the normal rounds so keep an eye on your skill select account. I submitted my EOI with 75 points on 25th August. All genuine points!!

There's a note on the Skill Select page when you log in. Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

DIBP have issued a statement saying that there will be no invites issued to accountants in the next invitation round. Seems likes it's taking them a while to sort out the mess of the last round with suspected fake EOIs going in bringing the points up to 85. So gutted as I should have got the invite last time [emoji22] Sent using Poms in Oz mobile app

I waited until I had the assessment back, have you requested an employment assessment? Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

I'm still waiting for my invite should have come through in the last round but for some reason no accountants were invited [emoji853] I don't see there being an issue though as on my EOI I only have the general ielts info and the skills assessment outcome doesn't mention ielts just the education and work experience I have that's relevant. I got mine through CPA. Sent using Poms in Oz mobile app

I was in the same position, I sat the ielts general and got the marks I needed to get the maximum points. I would definitely try and get that score up as it doesn't look like people with below 75 will be getting an invite anytime soon. Good luck Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

Thank you, here's hoping it does come back that quick. Do you get an e-mail or should I keep checking skills select at each round? Sent using Poms in Oz mobile app

I've just submitted my EOI with 75 points for 189 80 points for 190. Does anyone have an idea how long it might take to get an invite? I'm going to start on the Form 80 now! Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

Do I need to wait to hear back from the CPA on my work experience before submitting my EOI? I have a positive skills assessment for my qualifications and the EOI doesn't appear to need any confirmation that the work experience has been assessed. I'm hoping to apply with 75+5 for a 190.
