Stayorgo Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Fingers crossed for those of you waiting today! We've decided not to submit our EOI for this round, maybe the next round or in preparation for August. Will see how this round goes and what is said about occupation ceiling and points requirements for accountants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laevans Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) Hey guys so been following and lots updates today, so those who submitted an EOI accountant on 75 points in April for invited today! So hopefully not long before they catch up to June! My question is, we originally submitted our EOI 27th march but had 65 points then, hubbie sat PTE in June and then had 75 points so if our EOI for 75 effectively classed as June as do they class it from March? Anyway goodluck everyone and goodluck for when you apply StayorGo!

laevans Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Hello our 75 points is for the 189, and we have 75+5 for a 190 state sponsorship. Some good updates today- looks like all back dated 80 pointers have been invited yesterday and all 75 pointers until mid April!

RavenBlue Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I believe your EOI date is now June. Anything which changes the points you're claiming will reset the date to that point. Does look as though 75 & 80 pointers have moved to April, like you say. Could be a couple more rounds before June but fingers crossed! I also read on another forum that NSW has invited a few ICT occupations today so maybe they're picking up their invites again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suziemac59 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Hello I am hoping to put my EOI in soon, just waiting for the skills and employment assessments coming back from CPA. I have done the IELTS Academic and only got a 7 for writing, I know to get superior English you need 8s for each element but is the fact that you've taken the Academic test get taken into account? Would they see a 7 at Academic equivalent to 8 at general? The 10 points obviously make a huge difference. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stayorgo Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 7 academic is 7 general. Could you retake the test to get your points up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenBlue Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Hi @suziemac59 I think as far as DIBP is concerned, IELTS is IELTS. Whichever one you take you have to get 8's in all sections: https://www.border.gov.au/Lega/Lega/Form/Immi-FAQs/how-can-i-prove-i-have-superior-english Have you considered PTE academic if you wish to re-sit and gain the extra points? I didn't do IELTS so can't comment on the differences, but I found PTE very straight forward to revise for and managed to get the required scores for superior english on my first attempt. There is a sticky thread on this forum I believe where people discuss the differences. Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suziemac59 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Thanks for your replies. Was hoping not to have to take another test but looks like I'll have to. I will look into the Pearson Test.Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stayorgo Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 How many points do you with have with the 10 for English? Would a new result change your skills assessment? I only ask as my husband's CA skills assessment includes his English results. Don't know if it matters if you had another result that was higher.maybe not!

You do not have to take academic IELTS for points for the visa, you purely needed to sit the academic for CPA only. My husband sat the PTE academic after two failed attempts at IELTS to get superior as we need the 20 points and he sat PTE last minute no prep and got full marks! So maybe that could suit you better x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll only have 65 without superior English which doesn't appear to be enough. I don't need the higher mark for the skills assessment just the points test.

laevans Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 Ok, yes you will definitely need the extra points as no accountants under 75 points seem to be being invited. I spoke to an agent a few weeks back and they said accountants right now it's so hard and must have 75 to be in with a chance of a visa as there not sure how soon or if at all they will invite 70 pointers! This visa stuff is so hard! Go for gold on the exam and get yourself those points xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenBlue Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 For any accountants out there, it looks (from various places in the internet, but nothing official from DIBP) as though todays invitation round cleared all 75 pointers up to 25 May. So potentially 70 pointers might be in with a shout in a couple of rounds time? @laevans - hopefully we're in in 2 weeks time though! Fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laevans Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Arrrrrr I was waiting for you to comment! Eek that's so exciting and wow they certainly have cleared a lot up this round! Oh gosh few more weeks and it could all start to become super real!! I really hope they also start to offer 70 pointers as some have been waiting forever!goodluck and keep in touch Hun!

Uroosa Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Hi all . Just wanted to ask did anyone of you had any update regarding your invitation? We've waiting from almost 9 months on 70 points for 189 and 75+5 for 190 but it seems to be impossible now as they're taking EOI's with 75 or 80 points . We lodged our EOI on 14 nov 2016 and still no reply ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenBlue Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Hi @Uroosa, did you mean 70+5 for state sponsorship? For the 189 visa, according to the DIBP website the 70 point accountants have been invited up to 24th October 2016 DOE. As mentioned above though they cleared all 80 pointers to date and 75 pointers to (hopefully) 25th May. So dependent on how many more 75 and 80 pointers apply in the future, and how many accountants they invite in each future round, then they may start picking up 70 pointers again in a couple of rounds. Fingers crossed for you. Nobody can know when states will invite for the 190 though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uroosa Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Oh yeah soo sorry , I meant 70+5 . So according to DIBP , we should hope for the next round as we applied in nov . I really hope it happens, its been a long time .our previous visa expired and we had to spend $13000 on student , even it came after 2.5 months ?? . So yeah now , fingers crossed for next round. By the way , when is the next round now? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RavenBlue Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Hi Uroosa, thanks! It was for a 189 visa. The round was at 00.01 on 9th August Canberra time, so happened about 40 minutes ago.
