Well you don't know that the maximum number of applications will be receieved and august/September jsnt a peak time for hiring but we won't know until next week so best to think positively for now!

I think points will be 35-36 for august and back to 32 for September because looking at all previous months there aren't many people that even apply on the lower scale! Yes let's definitely remain positive!!

I don't think that the article is correct- there were articles for July allocation which said that the points were going to be 50 some even said the salary would need to be 75k but it wasn't it did drop down to 45 and I have every hope that it will drop down again for August too!

Yes but the 97 means it was greater than 98+100 to go through for people with points at 44-32 so it has gone down from Over 594 in July- I think that is what someone else said before that it means so because not all of those people Will reapply it increase chances brag it's gonna go back to 32 but w...

Fingers crossed for everyone!! I have 37 points and I am praying it does go down for august which I really Hope it does. It seems to be going down from the 50points to 45 for July and hopefully back to 32 for august! If you have a look too the amount of visas being carried over is a lot less this mo...
