hindi automatic ang invitation, at least for visa 189, there's a hierarchy to obtain an invitation.
1st will be those with points >60, regardless of date of EOI lodgement.
2nd everyone with 60 points will be sorted by the Date of EOI lodgement, those na mas maagang nag-lodged, will have higher chance of getting an invitation than those 60 pointers na recently lang nag-lodged.
At least yang ang explanation sa SkillSelect if I could still remember it correctly.
Pero I know some applicants with 60 pts, na a week before Invitation Rounds pa lang nag-lodged ng EOI, pero na-invite na agad.. but there are those na ilang rounds ang hinintay bago nainvite...
So the earlier you submit, the better ika nga...

May isang case na kagaya mo (cylin) naglodge sya 60 points without IELTS expecting na ma credit lahat 8 years experience nya, as per Vetasses assessment. Pero si DIBP case officer ang may last say and nabawasan ung credited points sa years of experience nya. So na refused and sayang ang 3,520AUD visa applications fees nya plus pagod/ effort. So dapat super confident ka and sure ka talagang 8 years ma-credit sau and walang ibang magiging problema.

Holiday noon dito kaya puyat-puyat ako the night before, pero nagising pa rin ako ng mga 5:30AM the next day, then check agad ng email sa phone… disappointed kasi wala pa ring email. Basa-basa lang ng konti sa forum then natulog ako uli…
Then habang tulog biglang tumunog yung notification ng 2 cellphone at 1 tablet ko sa kwarto, nagulat ako kasi sabay-sabay na magkakasunod na email.. Biglang alimpungatan napabangon ako agad. Tapos antok na antok pa ako binasa tapos hinahanap ko yung word na “Grant” sa emails..
Then nung mabasa ko na IMMI Grant na nga sya, parang ayaw ko maniwala, kasi feeling ko tulog pa din ako, saka makailang beses na kasi akong nanaginip ng Visa Grant pero wala naman pala hehe…
Then nung gising na ko talaga nun ko lang binasa yung Grant Letter, pero parang di ko maintindihan yung laman, then di ko alam kung magdarasal muna ako, or tatawagan ko Nanay at mga kapatid ko hehehehe
Hindi ko nagawa yung mga nasa isip ko dati na kapag na-grant ako, iiyak ako or tatalon or magsasasayaw… Total disbelief talaga yung naramdaman ko na para bang hindi ako makapaniwala na something this big of a blessing could happen to me. Dati I could only hear na yung iba na-absorb sa US, nag-migrate na sa Canada, nasa Australia na, etc… I can’t believe na ako na ito at nangyayari na rin sakin…
After 5 days nagtravel na ko papuntang Sydney. Wala lang din, pakiramdam ko nagttravel lang ako papuntang Pinas… Pero nung nagsimba at nagdasal na ko sa St. Marys Cathedral and nakita ko yung Australian flag sa loob ng church, doon na bigla nagsink-in sakin na Permanent Resident na ko ng Australia at doon na ko napaiyak, buti may panyo ako, nakakahiya hahahaha

Medyo nawala sa isip ko ang Visa application kasi ineexpect ko end of Jan or Feb pa malamang result. So di ako nag check mula nag holiday break sila nung Dec.
Galing po ako nun sa PH embassy dito sa SG para maghingi ng passport validity extension kasi need ko emergency uwi sa pinas in few days. Medyo super inis ako pagkaalis ng embassy kasi ang suplada ng sa badge counter tapos di pa sila nagbibigay ng extension dami pa kuda.
Palakad ako Nassim Rd ng nagdecide ako mag check ng email pantanggal stress. Abah nakita ko may email na na remove daw SkillSelect EOI ko tapos yung reason eh either na grant/refused visa ko etc. so kinabahan ako! Actually kinakabahan na ako pag nakakabasa ng refused/denied/rejected na words during my Visa application..haha Allergic ako sa mga words na tu. Tapos nakita ko mi 3 emails about Visa Grant. Nanginginig talaga ako..Di ako makapagbasa ng maayos tapos nabasa ko din ang line na granted!Nakailang basa pa ko kasi baka mali pagkaintindi ko.
Nung na confirm na granted na nga Visa namin eh grabeh di ko ma explain ang feeling prang gusto ko magwalling sa pader ng condo, sa harap ng Japan Embassy habang naluluha..MMK! Di ko akalain maiisip ko palang gawin yun lol Pero nahiya naman ako baka may tao pala sa paligid at ma stomp pa ako. Ayun tumigil nlng ako lakad tsaka nag breath in breath out.Prang lahat ng worry, stress at pagod sa pag process ng Visa eh bawing bawi. Nang medyo kumalma na ako tinawagan ko na Mom ko.
Ngayon medyo di pa nag sisink in na AU PR na ako kasi prang dami ko pa kelangang asikasuhin pero sobrang happy ako na binigyan kami ni Lord nang ganitong blessing. Tsaka sa tyaga at hirap na naranasan ko pag process eh sobrang worth it! Ngayon abang nlng airline sale pra sa entry namin sa Sept.
