By the time I received the invitation to apply for 189 visa, I was so anxious to click that Apply button already. It was 22 November around 9PM GMT +8.
On 27 October, roughly a month before I received the ITA for 189 visa, I got invited for nomination in NSW for 190 visa. When someone receives this invitation for nomination, he has 14 days to decide to pursue or withdraw the application.
I figured that since I already have an invitation waiting, which was yet to expire on 10 November and the next invitation round for subclass 189 was to happen on 9 November, I have a chance to get invited and should I get unlucky there is already a fallback to pursue the application for NSW nomination.
I did not get lucky. No visa 189 invitation on 9 November for me.
Looking at the trend from ImmiTracker and SkillSelect, I summed up the numbers and decided to take the risk. I waited for the next round of invitation, which was to happen on 23 November.
Thank heavens I got invited on that round! Otherwise, I can only blame myself for wanting more than what has already been presented to me. And maybe up to present I am still convincing myself about that door of opportunity being closed because another one shall present itself magically.
The catch: The round after I got the ITA for 189 visa, none were invited in the same ANZSCO code as I have.

Perfect timing!

ReplyDeleteI had 65 pts for 189, 70 pts for 190. Initially 60 and 65; thus, we decided to claim for partner points.
