Hello Fam,

Excitement did not let me post this since 3pm. I received my ITA today with 75 points for ICT Business Analyst.
08 August 2017 - ITA Received

Now guys it's time for the REAL,MAIN prayer and fasting and waiting. Thanks to all that made input in my journey so far. We carry on .........

Alphadoor:
We have been saying so since... 3rd round and we are still saying so ..

Abi o, but probably because the invitations per round has been just 1k. They need to increase that ASAP.

Although, I believe they are keeping it at 1000 so as to attend to the visa backlog too. If they decide to roll out more ITA, the visa application bombardment will surely overwhelm them.

While waiting, I urge everyone to move to 70pts.. as you have clearly stated 65 is the new 60 based on backlog.. the crowd no be here.

teewhysafe:
70 points seems like the baseline even for Non-pro rata occupations this year due to the Pro rata backlog. The predictions are not looking nice at all for 65 and 60 pointers . There will be a remarkable improvement if invites per round is increased above 1000 but if not, state nomination or getting 70 points is the way forward.

I got my EA assessment yesterday and decided to test my EOI:

My standing below, pending my PTE exam;

Bellong , Mamajaz , Alphadoor and other gurus please advice

diggy4real:
The least point invite I saw was 70 for Mech engr, ICT system analyst, software engr, and ICT system and business. The 75s seem to be for Mech engr with DOE 7/08/17 and 8/08/17, and 'Almighty' accountants.

Alphadoor:
Has anyone received ITA today?

If you are to divide my own taxify in 7days, that means I work for only 4hours each day.

The truth is you never own a car, so you won't understand u r wrecking that car.

Don't worry when u loose ur hp deal, I have a car for rent only, and I will charge u much higher fee.

bellong:
@David27617,

Most occupations on the MLTSSL are also available to be sponsored on 190. As long as there is a state willing to sponsor it.

Apply for the New South Wales nomination. I think you should get a response faster since bricklayer occupation is not competitive and they really need them in the booming construction industry.

Goodluck

entparrot:
18hours of driving , you are really strong this young boy.

Sometimes I think your previous job, must have been a laborer or bricklayer job.

Keep it up.

Misoke:
This may also mean the cut off will hardly drop below 75...at best 70...its well oh

bumpypat:
@jayohh is almost impossible for a civil engineer with 60 or 65points to get invited?

ZoeW:
My worry is: if 75 pointers for just 2 rounds have collected 620 slots out of 1574 slots, leaving 954 slots for 70 pointers from March!! Slots would be exhausted by 1st round in October. Aswear down this 2611 no be am at all; but as it is my profession, there is nothing I can really do about it.
Over to Baba God!

ZoeW:
Jesus is Lord!!!

Baba God helep me oo!!! Warrisdis?

Cottyekundayo:
Base point for civil engineering remains at 60.

alstarmayo:
card trip or not, you can always do a fare review, the money will given back to you as Uber credit or paid back to your account this has happened to me before as a rider, after a fare review the money was paid into my account.

That airport surge is FAKE, very FAKE, don't fall for it

Jbelieve:
Hi, does it mean with 60 or 65 points one can get an ITA in the above occupations irrespective of other occupations requiring 70 and above points in subsequent rounds.

Alphadoor:
Example: ITA received July 25 with 70points for Accountant with Date of Effect (DOE) 18/11/2016 12:20pm

That means, in that round, the lowest ranked invitee in that occupation had 70 points and he submitted (or last updated) his EOI on 18/11/2016 12.20 pm. So, you can conclude three things (for that particular occupation):
Nobody below 70 points got invitation in the that round
All 70+ points got invitation
Among the EOIs with 70 points, those who submitted (or last updated) after 18/11/2016 12.20 pm did not get invitation.

hope that helps..

update:

All the EOIs will be sorted by points (highest to lowest) and within each point break they will be sorted by date of effect (oldest to newest). If they decide to invite 200 applicants in an invitation round, they will select the first 200 in the list. The cut-off publishes on the DIBP website is the points/date of effect of the last person who was invited.

During the time to the next invitation, new EOIs will be submitted and they will again be sorted by points/date of effect. So if you have 65 points, any new EOI with more points will go ahead of you in the queue. Any 65 point EOIs will go behind you (since you have an older EOI).

For 60 point applicants, they will remain in the queue until they reach the front of the line. The reality is that there have consistently been more new EOIs with at least 65 points to fill each invitation round, so those with 60 points are not moving forward in the line.

The occupation ceiling has been set for 2016-2017 and it will reset on July 1st. However they still refer to the same queue of EOI applications so the 60-point EOIs may continue to stand still while new EOIs overtake them.

you are sure if it was the guy that manipulated the app, stop jumping into conclusion without tangible evidence

alstarmayo:
It could a network issue, GPS messes up sometimes, I once someone on taxify, a trip that's supposed to be about 2k came up with minimum fare of 400, she was surprised to see it, but she came down without saying anything( it was a card trip). If that trip had showed 4k, she would've labelled me a thief.
You guys should pity us, this fare is already cheap as it is, but y'all are always quick to call us out but are quiet when it favours you

Alphadoor:
Probably if July 25th results are released.. one may able to predict the possibility of when to expect an invite.

with 2000 189 per month... its likes 70 is the new 60

No one cares about a BSc holder.

uber doesnt care.
Riders do not care.
partners do not care.

Can your cousin operate a motor vehicle very well and is he conversant with Lagos roads, Lagos driving, Lagos LASTMA, Lagos Police, Lagos touts?

Thats all that matters.

blackylola:
when the fare is low nobody will hear u guys will be excited but if otherwise u will start shouting everywhere, go and check yourself. Must you give one * because of fare price, there is another platform to complain about that.

blackylola:
4k is OK for an hour drive

alstarmayo:
go to your Uber app and request a fare review

abitafah:
from my own experience, i have discovered that when the network is bad,the GPS seems to malfunction,hence the gps would be moving zigzag wen you are in traffic, instead of it to be static as u are static in the traffic. UBER uses this GPS to calculate fare...as the GPS is moving, the money is calculating This thing is not intentional cos it has happened to me twice, so I advised the rider not to pay me... That i will report her to UBER deñ UBER will credit me with the correct amount and they will also send a msg to her as regards the correct trip fare which she would have to pay along with her next trip fare. It also happens on the opposite when the amount u get after a trip is too low, compared to your expectation. It is just a GPS malfunction.

entparrot:
I will say it again 40k should be minimum. Even if you take 35k drivers will still drive more to make more.

Driving under Uber means driving more, so there is no 2ways about it.

If you take less, you are definitely cheating yourself. You will still have to fix the car, with Lagos road nature, expect to change, ball joint, stabilizer leakage and others.

If you drive from 6-6 u will still make your money, be it Uber or taxify.

I will say it again, taking 20-30k home weekly, for 6days drive, is fair enough...

Drivers that drive those buses to Abuja everyday make far less than 20k weekly.

I believe those jumping into Uber driving are greedy people, they are looking for owners, they will take advantage

Every mechanic by nature is a cheat, the job goes with cheating. Change this and that knowing fully well, you will resell it after it has been removed.
You and drivers are 5/6.
