The next invitation round for skilled visas is only some 4 weeks away – on the 7th of September, 2015.

Those intending to migrate to Australia under visa subclass 189 (Skilled Independent) must receive an invitation to progress their visa application – and to receive an invitation you must lodge an Expression of Interest.

In other words, to receive an invitation to apply for a subclass 189 visa on the 7th of September 2015 you must have lodged an Expression of Interest before that date.

Invitation rounds have been held each month from July 2015, and the maximum number of invitations to be issued in September 2015 under 2,300.
