  Dahil magaling akong mag google, based sya sa invite. cheers!
  
  What is an occupation ceiling?
  An occupation ceiling is a limit on the number of invitations that can be issued through SkillSelect each year.
  
  An occupation ceiling is applied to:
  
  Skilled independent visas
  Skilled regional sponsored visas
  Skilled or business state or territory sponsored visas.
  You will not be invited to apply for one of these visas if your occupation has reached its ceiling.
  
  
  
  

  Q:Ah okk..thanks Sir. Ang mga occupation ceiling ba is base sa EOI or visa grant?
  
  A: Hmmm.. di ako bihasa dito, palagay ko make sense kung yung ceiling is based on visa invite; sana may sumagot ditong 189 expert.

  @TheDreamer got answers for you ---- based on tracking (Feb to Aug)
  
  1. 75 of 99 entries lang yung may info about PCC/Medical Dates
  2. 3 of 67 lang sa mga visa grants ang nag frontload; sergz126(190), netzkeenet(190), Ashok (189)
  3. Dun sa 3 na yung timeline nila from lodge to grant average is 3.24 months
  4. Dun sa 2 na 190 timeline average is 3.65 months; Dun sa isang 189 timeline is 2.43 months
  
  Conclusion: Di enough yung data natin to conclude na mas mabilis ang frontload or not. It is showing the same TAT for the very limited samples (3 frontloads). Actually based on tracking, out of 75 na merong info on PCC and Medicals, 5 lang yung nag frontload.
  
  Hope this helps. Kitakits.
  

  @rareking, yung 2.4months for 189 is front loaded docs/medicals karamihan nun or mix?

  @rareking, thanks sa info and kudos to ur effort sir. From the looks of the chart, seems like SC190 has downward trend, meaning processing is getting faster while 189 roughly has an average of 2.5months processing.

  @admin - sir, pwede ba natin rename yung post na ito as "Visa Timeline (189,190 & 489)". Di kasi friendly yung TAT na word..poorly named, my fault. I think this post needs to have some promotion para makatulong.. watchathinnkkk? Thanks.
  
  I will send out an updated timeline within today kung kaya.

  as of Oct 24, visa timeline:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Some stats:
  
  1. SC189 average timeline for 2014 = 2.1 months
  2. SC190/489 average timeline for 2014 = 3.5 months
  3. Jul and Aug batches average for 190/489 significantly faster at 2.1 months, better than 2.4 months average of SC189.
  4. ANZSCO with the most entries is 261311 (Analyst Programmer) with 12 applicants; 2nd is 261313 (Software Engineer) with 11 applicants. Kaso meron pa ding blank sa tracking na 14 entries.
  5. Fastest grants at 24 and 26 days! Kaw na! ANZSCO 233914 Engg Technologist and 234611 Medical Lab Scientist.
  
  Note: Tinanggal ko na yung chart for grant+waiting kasi maliit lang diperensya and to simplify yung data natin.
