PatrickD Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Patrick, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. It's 50/50 whether to retake the IELTS. You're likely to be invited within 4-6 weeks I'd have thought. Retaking IELTS will guarantee an invitation on the next round, but you'll still have to wait 2 weeks for a result, so it's swings and roundabouts really. If you took PTE and got the required grade, then the results are much faster. Normally within 2-3 days. Thank you for your prediction. I am not in a hurry to get the invitation as long as I can expect to get it before the end of August when I turn 40 so I won't take the IELTS test again. Maybe I am lucky to get an invitation in one of the April invitation rounds before the limit is reached. Otherwise I assume that I will get it in July which is fine, too. Cheers, Patrick.

CaptainC Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Partner has 75 points as an electrician (ANZSCO 341111). Do you know what the invitation dates may be on an EOI submitted next week? If you get the EOI in before 11:59pm on the 11th April (Canberra time) then you'll receive the invitation around 24 hours later. If you miss that cut off time, then the next invitation round is on the 27th April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to wait for the following round as we have only just ordered our Police checks which will likely take a few weeks. Thanks for the reply.

As long as you have the skills assessment back and have done the English test (if applicable) then you can go ahead and submit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're waiting on a qualification certificate being issued before submitting the EOI which will hopefully come early next week, but want to submit all documents - Police checks etc. together when the invitation comes through. Does the processing time from application to grant vary depending on the ANZSCO code you are applying for? I gather this will be a busy time of year for getting applications in before 30 June.

Ok I see, that's fair enough. The processing is not affected by ANZSCO code. Once the application is in its first come first served. Points also do not influence the speed of the actual visa application. Having a good point score is like using the business class line to check in for a flight....you don't have to wait in the queue....but once you're past that, everyone's in the same line for security!

CaptainC Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) As some of you might know, maintaining this thread involves a lot of research and calculations of dates and invitations to make any predictions as accurate as possible. It has become increasingly difficult to do this over the past couple of weeks due being overloaded with other commitments, so I will have to take a few weeks hiatus from the thread. I will temporarily close the thread until I'm ready to restart where I left off. Until then it will not be possible to post here. Thanks for your understanding.

immifaroq Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Hi CaptainC, I would really appreciate if you can please let me know an approximate time frame when I can expect my invitation for EOI submitted on 12/08/2016 for Systems Analyst? The recent 26th July 2017 round, all 75's were invited up until the 17/7. There is a huge back log of 70's starting from 24/3/2017. I am a bit worried if I have to rewrite PTE to up my points or wait for few more months until they finish inviting 70's and then invite 65's which is where I stand on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
