Chances for 189 visa (solicitor with 75 points)

Hi

Could anyone advise what you think my chances of being granted a 189 visa are?  Any idea of turnaround time?

I am a 33 year old solicitor with 75 points, working for an international law firm.  I am here on a 4-year 482 visa with my 30 year old husband (who I would like to include on my 189 visa, if that's possible?)

I'd like to explore the 189 route whilst keeping my fingers crossed that the rules don't change and I will still be eligible for a 186 visa after a further 2.5 years with my Aus employer.

Relevant ANZSCO is 271311.

I have looked at the govt website and in the past 4/5 months is seems no-one with under 80 points was invited to apply, but in November, December and January there were hundreds of invitations issued to people with 70 or 75 points.  I am unsure why so many more invitations were issued last summer - has there been a recent policy change that I am unaware of?

Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Kind regards,

Dexy

Have had some helpful advice from @wrussell on another thread (thanks again!) but just a hopeful bump to see if anyone has any insights on likelihood of success with 75 points in my circumstances, and/or any thoughts on why there seems to have been a big change since January (i.e. threshold has gotten higher).
