SkillSelect Invitations to apply to migrate - Round 15 October 2012 Results Report

In the report for the 15th Ocober round, section "Invitation process and cut offs", the following information was published

Visa Subclass: Skilled - Independent (subclass 189)
Points Score: 60
Visa date of effect: 14/10/2012 23.11 pm

I don't think that means the cut-off date for the last EOI to be invited was that date, otherwise I would have been invited. Can anyway give me some insight?

@Bizkut Yes It's confusing.

My gut feeling is "Visa date of effect: 14/10/2012 23.11 pm " is not for "Points Score: 60" it may be the date for higher Point Scores(i.e it can be anything from 65,70,75... )

I feel this is a bug in Skilselect system , who ever the software company developed this Skilselect system has done a very crappy work, they haven't even tested the software properly.

mrsgreenstar76

Oh yes, it must be for a higher points score since DIAC have said that it's sixty.

Whilst I agree that SkillSelect has had a lot of technical problems, there is no evidence to suggest that it is not what is stated (i.e. sixty points).

Bizkut

Something doesn't add up. I have 60 points, mid Sept EOI submission, didn't get invitation

Bizkut

Can't find any DIAC e-mail to query this issue. Can anyone help?

mrsgreenstar76

There is no general DIAC e-mail address. If you need to contact them, then you'd need to call them or send a pre-lodgement enquiry. Two things though - be wary of the information you get from the helpline (they have a bit of a reputation for unreliable information), and the pre-/post-lodgement forms are just basically tick boxes & they'll send you basic information on the subject(s) you've selected. There's no way of inputting an enquiry freehand anymore.

Bizkut

Thanks mrsgreenstar76 for the info. Tried the link you posted and it really isn't of any help in this case (as you said, it only provides automated answers and only to what must be perceived as the most common queries).

I wanted to avoid phoning because of the costs and the major time zone difference but that is quickly becoming the only option...

and the report for the 1th October round says "Visa date of effect: 01/07/2012"
which is quite odd, and may lead to the conclusion that skill select doesn't work properly.
that is just my opinion.

My friend also submitted EOI on 8th Sept for 189 with 60 points , still no inventation

Could it be that your applications are not what DIAC are looking for? My understanding of the EOI system was that the department looks at those who wish to apply and decide whether to offer a spot or not based on skills, age, etc. Simply having enough points (if I understand what the new system is about) isn't enough anymore.
