Hi,
For 189 EOI SkillSelect rounds, dito po ang official release ng stats:
http://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/Trav/Work/Skil#tab-content-2
Pero hindi na po ito promptly updated nila. Malalaman mo talaga if invited ka na through your EOI account and email.
For people monitoring and trending unofficially sa EOI rounds, ito po so far mga resources ko:
http://www.iscah.com/news-page/
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hDMwZx2ba47Fe-pwKOgzNOYKbjSmqLOXAbsDvCEfWyY/edit#gid=2092529074
So dito ka rin makaka check if you think papasok ka sa mga upcoming rounds
For 190 naman po, dependent po siya sa process ng state na ina applyan nyo, and hindi po ako masyado familiar.
For docs, yes you can gather some docs already like Birth Cert, Marriage Cert, Scholastic records except those na kailanga when i-invite ka na like medical check, police clearance, etc.
Hope this helps

Romans 12:12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Onward to the next chapter!

Occupation: 233214 (Structural Engineer)
POINTS BREAKDOWN:
Educ: 15 (Degree)
Work Experience: 10 (5+ yrs)
Language Skills: 10 (PTE-Proficient)
Age: 30 points
Total: 65 Points
APPLICATION TIMELINE:
04/03/17 - IELTS R6.5 W6.5 S7.5 L8.5 Good enough for EA Assessment (>6 each category). Haha. Self-review and not much time to practice kaya mababa scores. Haha. (Cge justify!). I think ang mali ko is nagfocus ako magreview ng Speaking and Listening.
Note: Hindi pa acceptable ang PTE sa EA at this moment.
24/04/17 - Submitted my application to EA.
25/05/17 - EA requested for additional evidence of employment. I initially submitted Income Tax Return from my 2 employers so supposed to be enough. But since they requested more I uploaded my payslips then.
15/06/17 - Finally! Received positive outcome from EA. Yuhoo!
(Since not enough pa din IELTS english points ko to get total points higher than 60 requirement for Visa, i took another exam from PTE. Sabi nila mas madali daw kesa IELTS. Eh di Go! Tsaka sayang din yung score ko sa IELTS-Speaking baka bumaba pa. Haha)
03/07/17 - Took PTE Exam. Hindi Madali!!! Haha. Siguro kulang ulit sa practice. Lol. I wasn't expecting na makapasa kasi may part sa lecture na wala akong nasabi. Haha. Pero yun, naka-74 ave. pa din. I therefore conclude na lenient talaga sila magscore. Hahaha. PTE Scores: L73, R71, S78, W83 (Results are out the next day)
05/07/17 - Submitted EOI 189. Start ng fiscal year so everyone's expecting ng buhos ng invitation. Tan-tanan! Haha.
10/08/17 - Super tagal ng invitation! Daming bad news (nag-cut ng staff ang dibp, processing time updated from 3 months, na naging 7 months then naging 11 months) Sa inip nagpasa ng EOI 190 for NSW. Dito lang pwede structural engr mag-EOI na walang show money eh. Haha. Sana pala Civil Engineer na lang occupation na pinili ko.
06/09/17 - I got invited this round! Since ang tagal nga di ako nag-eexpect na kasama ako. Pero yehey! So I scheduled immediately for COC-Eappeal here in sg. Nagsked na din for medical (SATA Online).
11/09/17 - SPF notified me that my e-appeal was approved. So I set appointment for fingerprinting. Got my COC on 15-Sep.
16/09/17 - I am expecting to have my health exam. But decided to call SATA (the clinic) first to confirm my booking. They said they do not accept booking thru online. #Haist. The next available weekend dates are on the week after.
23/09/17 - Had my Health Exam at SATA Ang Mo Kio. Results came out after 1 working day only.
25/09/17 - Finally I LODGED MY VISA!!! Yuhoo ulit. I submitted all docs na pwede i-submit hoping for DG, hehe. (Forms 80 and 1221 included) Iniisip ko pa actually ano pa pwede ko i-add. haha.
30/09/17 - Habang nag-aantay ng grant, mag-analyze muna ako. hehe.
As per myimmitracker, below are the nos. of grants (For 189 lang ha) for the past 3 months:
July : 29 grants
Aug: 86 grants
Sep: 611 grants.
Mabilis nag-escalate ang nos from aug-sep. So I think nagsisimula na sila magmadali starting Sep. So Oct will also be the same. May quota kasi sila need mainvite per occupation kaya dapat maghabol talaga sila. So I am expecting showers of grants for the month of Oct. "Expecting". haha.
God bless sa mga kasama kong nag-eexpect ng grant! and sa mga
waiting for ITA next week na ang invitation round. All the best sating lahat! Power!!
10/11/17 - Finally! Praise God! While busy working i accidentally opened my email and saw the new message from border.gov.au. Nanginig akong bigla sa tuwa. haha. I was supposed not to tell it yet to my family para surprise but I cannot contain it. Overjoyed feeling once mareceive mo ang iyong grant.
God bless to the rest na nag-aapply pa lang and sa lahat ng waiting ng grants nila. Darating din yan at God's appointed time.

Hi, I wouldn't say na wala na pag-asa kase 60pts. naman ang requirement, but again the rounds sa mga pro-rata like sa 233511 is up to 75, so talagang matagal huhupa to 65, worst, baka mag change requirement sila by next full year program, so we really don't know.
There's a +5 points for Credentialed Community Language Test (CCL), in which I read na parang magiging certified translator ka which is ok naman siguro, the bad thing lang is sa AU ang exam. Read more here if you like to explore:

Occupation: 233214 (Structural Engineer)
POINTS BREAKDOWN:
Educ: 15 (Degree)
Work Experience: 10 (5+ yrs)
Language Skills: 10 (PTE-Proficient)
Age: 30 points
Total: 65 Points
APPLICATION TIMELINE:
04/03/17 - IELTS R6.5 W6.5 S7.5 L8.5 Good enough for EA Assessment (>6 each category). Haha. Self-review and not much time to practice kaya mababa scores. Haha. (Cge justify!). I think ang mali ko is nagfocus ako magreview ng Speaking and Listening.
Note: Hindi pa acceptable ang PTE sa EA at this moment.
24/04/17 - Submitted my application to EA.
25/05/17 - EA requested for additional evidence of employment. I initially submitted Income Tax Return from my 2 employers so supposed to be enough. But since they requested more I uploaded my payslips then.
15/06/17 - Finally! Received positive outcome from EA. Yuhoo!
(Since not enough pa din IELTS english points ko to get total points higher than 60 requirement for Visa, i took another exam from PTE. Sabi nila mas madali daw kesa IELTS. Eh di Go! Tsaka sayang din yung score ko sa IELTS-Speaking baka bumaba pa. Haha)
03/07/17 - Took PTE Exam. Hindi Madali!!! Haha. Siguro kulang ulit sa practice. Lol. I wasn't expecting na makapasa kasi may part sa lecture na wala akong nasabi. Haha. Pero yun, naka-74 ave. pa din. I therefore conclude na lenient talaga sila magscore. Hahaha. PTE Scores: L73, R71, S78, W83 (Results are out the next day)
05/07/17 - Submitted EOI 189. Start ng fiscal year so everyone's expecting ng buhos ng invitation. Tan-tanan! Haha.
10/08/17 - Super tagal ng invitation! Daming bad news (nag-cut ng staff ang dibp, processing time updated from 3 months, na naging 7 months then naging 11 months) Sa inip nagpasa ng EOI 190 for NSW. Dito lang pwede structural engr mag-EOI na walang show money eh. Haha. Sana pala Civil Engineer na lang occupation na pinili ko.
06/09/17 - I got invited this round! Since ang tagal nga di ako nag-eexpect na kasama ako. Pero yehey! So I scheduled immediately for COC-Eappeal here in sg. Nagsked na din for medical (SATA Online).
11/09/17 - SPF notified me that my e-appeal was approved. So I set appointment for fingerprinting. Got my COC on 15-Sep.
16/09/17 - I am expecting to have my health exam. But decided to call SATA (the clinic) first to confirm my booking. They said they do not accept booking thru online. #Haist. The next available weekend dates are on the week after.
23/09/17 - Had my Health Exam at SATA Ang Mo Kio. Results came out after 1 working day only.
25/09/17 - Finally I LODGED MY VISA!!! Yuhoo ulit. I submitted all docs na pwede i-submit hoping for DG, hehe. (Forms 80 and 1221 included) Iniisip ko pa actually ano pa pwede ko i-add. haha.
30/09/17 - Habang nag-aantay ng grant, mag-analyze muna ako. hehe.
As per myimmitracker, below are the nos. of grants (For 189 lang ha) for the past 3 months:
July : 29 grants
Aug: 86 grants
Sep: 611 grants.
Mabilis nag-escalate ang nos from aug-sep. So I think nagsisimula na sila magmadali starting Sep. So Oct will also be the same. May quota kasi sila need mainvite per occupation kaya dapat maghabol talaga sila. So I am expecting showers of grants for the month of Oct. "Expecting". haha.
God bless sa mga kasama kong nag-eexpect ng grant! and sa mga
waiting for ITA next week na ang invitation round. All the best sating lahat! Power!!
10/11/17 - Finally! Praise God! While busy working i accidentally opened my email and saw the new message from border.gov.au. Nanginig akong bigla sa tuwa. haha. I was supposed not to tell it yet to my family para surprise but I cannot contain it. Overjoyed feeling once mareceive mo ang iyong grant.
God bless to the rest na nag-aapply pa lang and sa lahat ng waiting ng grants nila. Darating din yan at God's appointed time.

Romans 12:12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
James 5:7-8 Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Onward to the next chapter!
