@michRN Those are the times/instances when DIBP issue invitations to apply for a visa to those who have filed an expression of interest (EOI) to a particular visa. Lately, invitation rounds take place 2x sa isang month.

Regarding tagal, well it depends on the visa that you are after. This is also dependent on your current points (since visa application for AU is based on a point-system), date you had lodged an EOI, profession and/or English proficiency.

You may gauge the length of time that it may take you to get invited by reading more about it here: https://www.border.gov.au/Busi/Empl/skillselect, under the "Invitation Rounds" tab.
