@gregormendel (1H ago| Updated 1H ago)TAS Processing Times and Invitations 27/08/2026
ROIs invited to apply for nomination on 20/08/2026: Subclass 190 - 20 invitations - 17 Gold invitations and three Green invitations Subclass 491 - 25 invitations - One Gold invitation and 24 further invitations
Due to the high number of Gold pass ROIs received for subclass 190, few additional ROIs have been invited. Due to being oversubscribed in total ROI invitations over the past two weeks, we invited only three non-Gold ROIs this week. We expect the number of Gold pass ROIs to decrease significantly over the coming weeks, which will allow us to issue a larger number of invitations.
The lowest scores invited: Subclass 190 - 544 points Subclass 491 - 91 points
Number of ROIs on hand (ROIs with a status of Submitted after the invitation round has taken place): Subclass 190 - 906 ROIs Subclass 491 - 572 ROIs

Oldest nomination application lodged and not yet allocated to a case officer - 25/08/2026
Lowest point score required to gain nomination (at assessment): Subclass 190 - 562 points Subclass 491 - 94 points This is a rolling three-month average of the lowest point score resulting in an invitation.
Where an ROI is invited and all priority attributes claimed are verified, nomination will be approved. If one or more priority attributes are not verified, and the point score falls below the lowest score threshold, the application will be declined.
Where candidates are found to have intentionally claimed priority attributes to artificially inflate their score, the application will be declined.
Any Gold pass holder that does not meet the Gold priority attribute will be declined, regardless of their total point score.
