Salamat guys. Yeah I made contact with them. Sa response nila sakin, they reassured to me that my application is still with them at na hindi na-close yung akin. It turns out that the auto generated email I received pala was because meron rin pala akong incomplete submission nung una, separate from the complete and currently being processed.

Background: I submitted my EOI for both 189 and 190 with 70 and 75 points respectively. I have a wife and a baby less than a year old.
How long do you think should I wait for the invite? Hindi pa kasi superior yung English ko so I can increase pa yung points ko? Should I wait, or go for Superior English equivalent to 10 points.
Thanks,
carlosau

Nag eemail pa ba si VIC to ask you to write an essay?
Kasi nung:
1. Nag submit ako ng EOI (190 VIC),
2. Saka naka kuha na ko ng pre-invite from VIC,
3. Saka naka submit na ko ng application for nomination VIC,
4. And now I'm waiting for the ITA.
Throughout sa process ko, wala kasi akong na receive na email from them about writing an essay.
Pero may nababasa ako nag pinagawan pa sila ng essay. :-/

Due to a high number of applications received, we are experiencing delays in processing all skilled visa nomination applications. Unfortunately, this means that a nomination outcome is unlikely to be provided within the published processing timeframes.
Please do contact us by telephone with any urgent deadlines relating to existing applications, however we request that you do not enquire as to the status of your application/s.
Hindi kaya sa July 2018 pa nila ilabas yung result?
Cheers

We will continue to assess all nomination applications received prior to 15 May 2018, however delays may occur in providing outcomes for these applications.
Please note that this is only a temporary measure to manage current demands.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused and encourage you to check our website in the coming weeks to stay up-to-date and apply for skilled migration visa nomination when applications reopen.

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!
