<br />
1. Invitations for the independent and family sponsored visas will be issued monthly. We propose that the first round of invitations will be issued in August 2012.<br />
<br />
2. If you receive an invitation, you will have 60 days to lodge a valid visa application online, before the invitation expires. Applications received outside this timeframe will be invalid.<br />
<br />
<strong>3. We will provide information on the occupation ceiling levels on our website on 1 July 2012. The occupation ceiling will be an annual amount that will operate from 1 July 2012. It will not be divided into a monthly amount. Once the occupation ceiling is reached, no further invitations for that occupation group will be issued. The occupation ceiling is based on the 4 digit unit group level of the ANZSCO. You can find information on ANZSCO at: http://www.immi.gov.au/employers/anzsco/anzsco-code.<br />
</strong><br />
4. You can update your EOI at any time prior to receiving an invitation. We encourage you to update your EOI regularly. For example you may need to update your EOI you have gained new work experience, gained a higher qualification and/or improved your English language ability and/or changed your family composition. If you provide updated information which changes your points score or your ability to make a complete EOI against a visa, then SkillSelect will update your ranking and ability to be considered for an invitation automatically.<br />
