Cut-offs are drawn from publicly reported Home Affairs SkillSelect invitation rounds and cross-checked against multiple migration agent reports. Where a specific cut-off was reported as a range, we show the lower confirmed bound. Visafold is a tool, not a migration agent — these numbers help you understand the queue, not advise you on strategy.
