My husband received an invitation this afternoon. He too has 70 points and IELTS scores as yourself; however we did not lodge the EOI until 13th July. I'm not sure how the process works then as we assumed it was by date lodged. Perhaps by occupation? He is a QS. We are thrilled, but can completely empathize with everyone waiting because we've come from the same waiting place! I hope you find this promising news then as it would appear 70 points may be the minimum for this month?! Best of luck to you!
That's quite strange. I have 70 points and an EOI which was lodged on 8th july. So as per the email yesterday the invitations would be sent to the EOI with higher points and in case of tie then the EOI which was lodged earlier. Did not understand the logic here.
