It was nice then to check my email and realise that the invitation to apply for a Skilled - Independent (Subclass 189) had come in at about 9 pmish on the 8th of Jan.

| This little tracker which had for days been showing as Status: Submitted |
Key points to note is that the invitation to apply is valid for 60 days from the date of the letter (email) that you receive. All you have to do if you have reached this stage is to log into the SkillSelect website and click on "Apply Visa". Also, now that I have been issued an invitation, my EOI is locked. Meaning that if I apply within this invitation period, I do not have to worry about my score for my points test dropping below the minumum of 60, due to my age.
Should I choose not to apply within this window, the EOI would be re-activated after the window had lapsed and I'd be in the queue again for the next invitational round. However, if no valid visa application is made after receiving 2 invitations, the EOI would be removed from SkillSelect.
Important too to realize that being invited to apply is not equivalent to being guaranteed that I'll be able to make a valid application or granted a visa.
Just another small step in a long process!
