SkillSelect - the unanswerable Speculation/Timeline/Online Status questions
Having just had a look at the publicated data on the skillselect site for the 189's:
Invitations
Applications with 60 and above (roughly estimated from the graphs)
According to these figures, there is an apparent surplus of aprox. 550 invitations. If the number of applications in Septemeber (currently unpublished) is of around that number, it could happen that everyone who hit the 60 points mark would end up invited to apply.
Any comments on this assessment?

Re: Skillselect 189 analysis
Bizkut,
Your analysis seems correct. It really depends on September report. I think by Nov 1st all 60 points holders should get through.

Re: Skillselect 189 analysis
If you submitted an EOI for both a 189 (60 points) and a 489 (70 points) at the same time and subsequently received an invitation for the 489 does that preclude you from receiving an invitation for a 189 later, if you wait for subsequent invitation rounds and do not apply for the 489 immediately ?
Thanks in advance

CO assignment/processing time for 189
Dear all,
Have got some queries.
1. Have filed the application for 189 on Sept 19 ( got invitation on Sept 1st ). As I understood from the immi site, case officer will be assigned within 5 weeks of lodgment. If that’s the case I would be getting the CO by OCT 24. Is this understanding correct ?
http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/gener...tion-times.htm
2. How much time it usually takes to complete the processing , once CO is assigned- heard the process is much faster with skillselect, though not sure. Is there any one already got/nearing to get the visa (189) who have gone through skillselect ? ( i.e. after Aug 1st lodgements ) .
3. And final doubt- as I read from previous post, its advisable to wait till CO is assigned to do Medical and PCC. However somebody suggested once you get the TRN we can go ahead and do. Currently I am waiting for CO to be assigned , but has got TRN when I filed the application. Which is better way to go forward.
Thanks
Mic

Re: CO assignment/processing time for 189
If that's what the official site says then I would suggest that they would know best.
2. Faster than what? SkillSelect has been how it works since July, there is no other way of getting a skilled visa since then so nothing to measure it against.
3. I'd say it was up to you. Whether you think it's safe to do so. What does DIAC say? Personally I'd go by their recommendation, not by someone who has even less experience of the new system than DIAC.

Re: DIAC Application Status, Speculation & other unanswerable questions (merged)
Thanks Pollyana for the quick reply.
I somehow thought the first thread was not posted properly and hence duplicated , thanks for merging both msgs as well .
Now coming back to my qns..
1.As you said the official site should be correct, hence I assume I would be getting CO in another 10 days. Will update my status later... btw please share any one else has such experiences
2. I meant faster than the pre-skillselect period, where many people had to wait for months and even years to get it processed .Any way only skillselect is applicable currently, as you mentioned. Here also, if anyone has personal experience of getting/processing the visa through the new system -skill select, please share .
3. Ya even i will go with the recommendations. Will wait for CO to notify.
Thanks again..
Regards,
Ajay
