millholl Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Hi guys, would really like your views on something. I completed an Expression of Interest on 27th February with 60 points. I took the English test (EILTS) and got a score of Reading 9, Writing 7.5, Listening 8.5, Speaking 9. Because of the 7.5 in Writing, I only got 10 points when I was aiming for 20. I understand for my occupation (261312 Developer Programmer) there is a lot of demand. I'm reading confusing stories about cut-off points and if I only have 60 points for this occupation I could be waiting several months for an invite to apply for Visa. Does this sound true to anyone? My skills assessment expires in May so I need to make some decisions about my next step. Is it likely that an invite will happen after May? Cheers guys, my head is spinning a little on this one.

subbi1857 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Even I am keen on knowing this ! I sail in the same boat too ! I have submitted an EOI with 60 points (189 visa) on 19th Feb 2014 and my occupation (ANZCO 233411, Electronics Engineer) has reached it's ceiling limit. The current cut-off for Software Professionals is 70 and for Electronics Engineers is 65 . Given the present scenario, it is unlikely to get an invitation in the next couple of rounds. We will have to wait till the cut-off shows 60 points for our occupations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
