# EOI Date of Effect vs Date Submitted



## liufly (Aug 5, 2013)

Hi all,

I am new to the forum and submitted my EOI several weeks ago.
I would like to ask the difference between EOI date of effect and date submitted.

It is my understanding that EOIs with earlier dates of effect are invited before later dates.
What happens if I update my address? Does it only affect the date submitted?

Thank you in advance.

Hi ,

As per my understanding, if the changes do not change the score then its OK and it will only change the date of effect. Anything which change the score will also change the date of effect.

Thanks

*Eoi*

Dear All,

I have a question regarding the EOI, specifically the Skilled - Regional Provisional (subclass 489) Visa. I understood that as long as the applicant occupation is listed in the CSOL list accordingly the state or territory nomination occurs automatically after submitting the EOI. Meaning that, once all applicants submit their EOIs the state or territories scan the system for matching applicants and accordingly select the applicants by issuing them an invitation to apply for a visa under their nomination.

Having said that, I read on the migration blog that if the applicants want to be nominated by a state or territory, they need to check out their websites to find out what they need to do to gain their nomination. In doing that, I discovered that some areas i.e NSW have separate forms and documents to be filled in order to apply for their nomination.

My question is, is applying to state or territory separately on their websites a mandatory step in the EOI process to gain their nomination or is it a complementary step that will increase the applicant chances in being selected by a particular state or territory.

Please advice as I am very confused regarding this part of the process.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Hi sselim,

Did you get any response or answer on the above... "applying to state or territory separately on their websites a mandatory step in the EOI process to gain their nomination or is it a complementary step that will increase the applicant chances in being selected by a particular state or territory" ?

I am very confused as I already submitted my EOI on 2nd August 2014 for 190 and 489 visas. Can anyone advise? Thanks in advance

## Laxie (Jun 10, 2014)

Hi guys,
I am also confused about "date of submission" vs "date of effect". In EOI page, there're two links:
1) "View EOI": there is "EOI date of submission"
2) "View points breakdown": there is "Date of effect"

--> Which one is the "date of effect" that impact on invitation?
--> Is it true that only updates that change the total points will change the date of effect?

Same boat as I am, any updates on this?

## Bimz (Oct 8, 2015)

To all the folks in jitters about updating details in EOI after submission of EOI.
\
I just updated my EOI with last date of employment of my previous job, which i switched last month. And it did not cause any change in my date of effect (DOE) of EOI. 
I believe this ould be attributed to the fact that the change in EOI details did not cause any changes to my points claimed in my application at the time of previous submission.
So, as long as the points claimed while submitting the application initially and points claimed /calculated after making changes to any of the details in EOI, remain the same, the DOE would remain the same..
So...RELAX!!

I was thinking to suspend my eoi, was wondering if suspending my eoi changes the date of effect?

I think it would. Cant say for sure, but logically, suspending EOI would mean, one wants to permanently or temporarily withdraw their expression of interest. Which would mean one would need to submit EOI again, and hence, the DOE would get nullified for a suspended EOI

Try checking with the seniors on the forum . you could drop a mesg to KeeDa, or andreyx108b. They might be able to answer with more certainty. last resort, call up the immi guys

All the best

My EOI Submission date is 20-09-2016. But on my birthday in Nov 2016 the DOE changed automatically - although there is no change in points (age points remain the same). So my DOE shows a date in Nov 2016.

My assumption is your points are looked at first and then if there are other applicants with same points as you, then your EOI submission date is looked at.

Do correct me if wrong.

It's surprising that your date of effect was changed just because you crossed a birthday which did not result in any change of points 

Secondly, you are correct. Higher points get priority irrespective of the date of effect.
The DOE comes into play only if there is a pro Rata invitation to be given among those holding same points
The earliest DOE are invited first

## sid.j (Jun 8, 2017)

My EOI Date of Effect is 24-01-2017 with 60 points and currently i have left the work Experience "TO" date as blank on EOI. Come July 1st, my work experience_(after ACS deduction_) would become 5 Years. I read that skillselect will automatically re-calculate this and increase my work experience to 10 points making it a total of 65 Points.

But i wonder if this automatic increase in points will also change my EOI Date of Effect to 1st July 2017 or will it still be the same as 24-01-2017 ?

I really wish I could give you the definite answer. 

Any change in point will result a change in date of effect. Now, for your case, the change in point is automated by the system. In this sense, I believe your date of effect will remain as 24-Jan-2017 because the point was not updated by you but by the system.

My suggestion is to drop an email to DIBP to seek clarity, or you can wait for 1st July to find out and update back in this thread what actually happened (for the benefit of others). 

Cheers.

I am sorry

As your points will increase to 65 points on 1st July, your date of effect will also change to the same date
Your seniority will be lost
The rules are very clear and there is no ambiguity

So, your DOE doesn't change but on the homepage you have a new submitted date.

Can you let me know what was the DOE in the points breakdown pdf? It's generally the submitted date (i.e. the updated date).

It's a bit confusing, which is the right DOE - on the homepage or on the point PDF :-(

I updated my EOI and submitted.
The points did not change, so the date of effect also did not change.
Only the date of submissiion changed.
So I guess I am safe.
