EOI picked from pool - timescales?
My EOI is now in the pool! I understand that the next "picking" takes place on Wednesday (tomorrow). Anyone know when we will know... I see that a report appears on the immigration Website on a Friday detailing the numbers selected but when do I get to know as an indiviudal? Do i need to keep logging on on Weds? Thurs? Fri? even longer????
There must be many out there who've been through the excitement and anticipation!
Thanks!

Thanks for best wishes - did they email you to let you know, did you log in, or did the ITA just arrive by post?

Y'see, I'm very vague as once I landed a job, I made Stevie B do ALL the emigration stuff - and I mean ALL!

Try logging on after about 2am weds morning, thats how I did it as the pool is chosen from NZ, I believe.

Re: EOI picked from pool - timescales?
That's what I was hoping really - if I log on when i get up at 6am weds uk time it will be end of working day in NZ. If the selection is done electronically based on the points claimed then I'm hoping it will tell me there and then. What you say seems to confirm this.....

We found out the day after - we were usng an agent and they phoned us. It was a surprise because we'd got our dates wrong and thouht they weren't picking until the following week (we are useless hence the use of agent)
Good luck karma coming to you

Re: EOI picked from pool - timescales?
We got picked from the pool - logged in this morning and there it was! Guess it may now be a long wait before we even get an ITA as no job offer...
