Following our article last week about the large number of WASTED invites in the EOI system this has clearly slowed down the movement in dates for each occupation. We had estimated there were only around 1200 invites for the 11/01/2019 round. But in fact with all the wasted invites etc it turned out to be double this, even though the last invite date for each occupation did not move so much.

On the 11th January 2019 DOHA invited (In fact December 2018 was the same)

– 2490 EOIs for the 189 visa
– 10 EOIs for the 489 visa

The official cut off date and points for each occupation is as follows :

– 2211 Accountants 80 points (24/08/2018)
– 2212 Auditors 80 points (27/06/2018)
– 2334 Electronics Engineers 75 points (29/11/2018)
– 2335 Ind, Mech and Prod Engineers 70 points (02/07/2018)
– 2339 Other Engineering Professionals 75 points (24/10/2018)
– 2611 ICT Business & System Analysts 75 points (03/10/2018)
– 2613 Software and Applications Programmers 70 points (23/01/2018)
– 2631 Computer & Network Professionals 70 points(06/09/2018)

489 cut off 80 points (29/08/2018)
189 cut off 70 points (08/12/2018)

These dates are very SIMILAR to our ISCAH January 2019 unofficial results and so at this stage do not significantly change our predictions. We will put up our new waiting time estimates for your 189 invitation after the 11th February skill select invitation round.
