Here are Iscah’s latest estimates of how long we think you will have to wait for a 189 invitation. Depending on when you lodged your EOI, what the effect date is and the occupation.

We have extended it this time through to the new 2018/19 program year and listed some assumptions. These may not turn out to be DHA settings, we are just trying to give a rough estimate in this age of uncertainty.

These estimates are heavily influenced by the number of invitations that DIBP/DHA issue each round, the limitations against some of the pro rata occupations, and a number of other factors listed here – https://iscah.com/use-189-eoi-predictions/
