xiaoh2 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khamutari Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Hi Capn', Can you help to predict mine? 261311 Analyst Programmer 60 pts EOI date of effect: 27 July 2015 I read that for my ANZSCO code they raised the minimum pts needed to 65pts is it true and if so, any chance it would go down again to 60? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Currently running at around 4-5 months for 60 point applicants. There's a good chance that it will drop to 60 again but this is not certain yet.

Otherwise I'll look into getting an SS to bump it to 65. Hope this is not a bad idea though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainC Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 An unusual step for DIBP has been noted this morning. They have released the data from the Oct 23rd round already. Again only 25 invitations were issued to Accountants. I'm not sure about the other pro rata occupations as I didn't record the data from the last update and now it has been updated again! Pro rata occupations have a minimum point of 65 with the exception of accountants which remains at 70. 2613xx occupations look the most likely to drop back down to 60 at some point, but it does appear that the department has deliberately kept the minimum points to 65 due to the date of effect being exactly 24 hours before the round, which is the actual cut off for the round. Accountants 2211xx and system analyst 2611xx are showing no real signs of improvement and continue to have very high demand. Personally I don't see these occupations getting a drop in the points back to 60 again before the start of the new programme year (1st July 2016). Also, based on the ever increasing demand and lack of employment opportunities for accountants, I suspect that this will be the final year for accountants on the SOL, and I think that the occupation is highly likely to be removed in the 2016/17 programme year.

It will increase your chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice Captain. Just one last question and a bit of a n00b at that but, if I submit an SS side by side with my 189, and the SS got approved then does it mean I won't get a permanent resident visa and more of a working visa limited only to the state I applied for?

The 190 State Sponsored and 189 independent are both permanent residency visas and have the same rights and entitlements as each other.

Thanks for this explanation. Just a random question, I lodged my application on 23/Oct/2015 however my ACS assessment expires on 9/Dec/2015. Just wondering if this expiry date has any negative impact on my visa grant? I mean I'm worried that maybe the process of visa grant would take longer than ACS assessment expiry date.

As long as a document is valid on the date you lodged the application then it's no problem if it expires before the grant. The only exception to this is PCC and Medical.

Hi Captain. So you suggest that there won't be any noticeable increase in the number of invites to accountants? Now they give only 25 a round, so if they increase it , let's say, to 100, and keep it for several rounds the min score may fall to 65, doesn't it?

Because the occupation is pro rata, it's unique, and comparing the data with other occupations is like comparing apples with oranges.

swtpm15 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Hello CaptianC, Accountant Points:70 EOI: 01/10/2015 Just received an invitation to apply for a nomination for 190 today (Not the visa, just the nomination), but wonder if I should do so as it takes 12 weeks for an outcome and the application costs $330. I believe within the next 12 weeks I should get an invite for 189 given the current situation? That would save me the $330 application fee and perhaps get to apply for a permanent visa sooner. If I apply for 190 nomination will they take off my 189 EOI from the queue? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khamutari Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 The 190 State Sponsored and 189 independent are both permanent residency visas and have the same rights and entitlements as each other. Thank you for clarifying that. I guess the only difference is that you are stuck for 2 years in the state that sponsored you (not that that's a bad thing) if you have the SS and visa 190. Reason being I have family in Melbourne but not close family that they can sponsor me (2nd cousin and uncles). Anyway thanks again very much for your kindness and information Captain!
