Hi Anil,

I just submitted EOI for 189 under 261313 Software Engineer. I was not working since 2017 April I could only claim 10 points for exp and a total of 70 points. I have applied for NSW 190 as well. Realistically what are my chances for getting an ITA for both categories?

Hi Anil,

I submitted EOI for 189 & 190 under 261313 on 21-03-2019. I have claimed 70 pts for 189 and 75 pts for NSW and Victoria. What is my chances of getting invite in both the cases?

Hi Anil,

My wife and I submitted EOI with 80 points under ANZ code 261313(Software Engineer) on April 11th 2019 for 189 Visa. What is the chance of getting invite by May? Why I am asking is because, I couldn’t see April month Invitation updated till now. Is it because of the year end? Could you please advise me on this
Thanks in advance!

Regards,
George

You have very good chance of invite in May 2019 draw with 80 points for 261313 (Software Engineer).

Australia immigration is slow in updating draw results online and they usually do it a month after the draw.

Thanks a lot Anil for the prompt reply. Much appreciated :slight_smile:

Hi Anil,

I just saw the current invitation round for April 2019. Only 100 people got invitation for 189 Visa, out of which only 49 are selected with 80 points. Can we infer that in the subsequent month May and June there will be even lesser invitations. The ceiling rate for Software Programmers still show 2133 openings to be filled this year.

hi @Asha_Joseph

You still have very good chance of invite if you have 80 points for Software Engineer code.

12

You can expect an invite in either July or August 2019 draw for 261313.

HI Anil, sorry to bother again. I was looking at some other posts and it seems for “EOI submitted with 75 points - 261313 Software Engineer”
you mentioned invite can be expected in May 2019. She submitted on April 10 and my submission was on April 24th. Any reason why my invite will be delayed until Jul/Aug 2019.

14

The estimate changes with each draw and i answered your question based on April 2019 draw results.

What about 190nsw with 80points doe April 10 jobcode 261313 with pte 10points.when can I expect the invitation

Chances are low for NSW invite with English score low at 10 points.

NSW usually invites people with highest score in English.

Hello Anil,

I received positive ACS last week. I have 65 points if I apply for 189 and 70 points if apply for 190. Can you please answer below questions:

  1. I hope chances of invite are less for 189. So should I apply for 190?
  2. If yes, which state sponsorship should I apply for? I have heard that applying for other than NSW is not very fruitful for software professionals. Is that true?
  3. Is it like if I apply for 190, I wont be able to apply for 189 or I can be in queue for 189 also with 65 points?
  4. What is the Skilled - Nominated (Provisional) visa (subclass 489)? How is it different from 190?

Thanks so much!
Prayas

Chance of invitation for 261313 with 65 points are extremely low in both 189 and 190.

I suggest to increase your points to at-least 70 to have any realistic chance of invite.

489 is a regional visa and not direct PR.

189 and 190 are skill based direct PR visas.

261313 code gets most invites from NSW followed by VIC. But, chances of invite are almost NIL with 65 points.

Thanks for the response Anil!

But if I apply for state sponsorship of NSW and VIC, I will be getting 5 points which will make my score 70. Even then also, there are no chances of invite?

Thanks

States usually invite people who have highest score in their job code category. That is why the chances are really low for a state invite too.
