Lucindansw Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Hi We've submitted an EOI for 190 visa (February 2020), plumber 70 + 5, hoping to get invited by NSW. Wondering if any plumbers have been invited by NSW recently and how many points you had / how long it took to be invited? Or if you're in the same boat waiting for NSW plumber invite let's get in touch and keep each other updated on progress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Lord Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Hi Lucinda, I've submitted an EOI for visa 190 (February 2020), electrician 70+5 in NSW. I would like to know the same things as you. I know is not the same profession but I suppose the timing should be similar. I'm particularly worried about the points we have, I hope they are enough.

Marisawright Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Those are low scores. Have you both taken the English test? Or can you take it again to improve your points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Lord Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 It means that there are low possibilities to get the invitation with these points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 190 is not as demanding as the 189 but I still think you would struggle with low points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you taking IELTS? If so, try E2 Language even if it’s self study on YouTube. There’s some lessons by one of their guys called Jay who is great. He breaks it down so you understand what is needed and how to get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck hope you get your invite soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Lord Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I consulted 2 migration agents, one said there are low chances with 75 points, while the other said there are good chances and that some people get invitation even with 70. I think there's a lot of confusion even between them. However I wish you good luck guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reputable agents with a thriving business will be honest with you, but there are people out there who'll talk up your chances just to get you to sign up. Apparently the 190 is unpredictable, because the state doesn't go strictly by points and chooses people based on what skills the state needs at the time.

True, I believe in their honesty, however I received several contrasting info from both of them, so I suggest to don't lose hope if they tell you there are low chances. They may miss some recent data or have some wrong convictions. For example one of them told me, in contrast with what you said, that they prioritise the highest points and after that they take account of the skills the state needs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a carpenter by trade and managed to score 85+5ss. I have seen other trades invited with significantly lower points than me, which was mind boggling. I think the logic is common sense, you can't load up the country with 160,000 100pt accountants! the trades along with other non pro-rata occupations are high in demand occupations, have high application ceilings and are rarely filled up, only a handful of applicants manage to make the cut per year! It is a long shot to be fair, but as long as your in a non pro-rata occupation and the occupation isn't some obscure BS, I say be prepared to wait and go for it!
