189 Invitation Round Cutoffs for 13 Nov 2025 Round
Total 10,000 invitations for 189 and 300 invitations for 491 (family sponsored) were issued.
Invitation Process: The highest ranked EOI, by points score, will be invited to apply for their visa before an EOI with a lower points score. For EOIs who have equal points scores, we will determine the time and date at which the EOI reached its score for that subclass. We call this a ‘tie break’ or the ‘date of effect’. The EOI with an earlier date of effect will be invited before EOIs with a later date of effect.

Oldest nomination application lodged and not yet allocated to a case officer - 14/11/2025
Subclass 190 and 491: Moving states after visa lodgment but before visa grant
The state/territory sponsorship points are not locked at time of Full Invite (unlike age, education, experience etc.)
The reason is that state/territory sponsorship points are a time of decision criteria, meaning the visa case officer has to make a decision on the allocation of these points when your file is being assessed.
So if you committed to the state to stay for a certain duration, but you move before the visa is granted, technically, the state has the power to withdraw these nomination points till the day of visa decision.
If these points are withdrawn, your points score will fall lower than what the invitation was issued at, and your visa will be refused.
After visa grant: The state can not withdraw nomination points, therefore: - On 190, you can move anywhere in Australia - On 491, you can move to any DRA in Australia
