    Migration Planning Levels
    Source: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/what-we-do/migration-program-planning-levels

    Example FY 2022:
    189 = (250+200+200+200 Forecasted) = 850 invitations
    491FS = (500+200+200+200 Forecasted) = 1100 invitations

    Source: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skillselect/invitation-rounds

    In percentages from Actual / Planning Levels 189 = 850/6500 = 13.07%
    491 FS = 1100/11200 = 9.82%

    Ibig sabihin. forecast actual invitations FY 2023
    189 = 16652 * 0.1307 = 2176 invitations or 544 invitations per quarter
    491FS = 25000 * 0.0982 = 2455 invitations or 614 invitations per quarter

    That’s always been the case - no surprise at all but usually us agents cAn gauge/would usually have a better understanding on the average time based on our own cases.

    It will always be competitive but at least they’re looking into getting back that pre-pandemic level vs what’s been happening in the last 2 years. That alone is good news!

    Sana nga po magtutuloy tuloy na dating ng grants lalo dun sa mga matatagal na naghihintay. Ang struggle naman po saming mga bago palang nag-aayos eh napapaisip kami kung worth it pa ba mag-avail ng fast track sa EA given the current situation kasi 12K din po difference malaki din para sa 2 months na pagitan sa paglabas ng resulta. Pag-iisipan ko pa mamayang gabi kasi bukas ko na po balak magsubmit bale final review nalang ako ngayong araw. Ano po ba masasuggest niyo? Thank you po.
