Thanks for your good wishes everyone. I just posted my timeline in that thread @vsrao.

And like others said, hope we can understand/predict this stuff better :)
 
Any updates from applicants who were pre-assessed ?
 
it seems to me that they are going to close this program soon. the situation in Alberta is too bad at the moment.

hey EB..me n some others were wondering if the preassesment even matters any more....
 
Any updates here from genuine old timers who belong to this thread ?

Old process required extra step before sending application (preassessment to receive invitation from AINP). Under new process, you can directly send your application to AINP.

And AINP SRS H1-B is still open. But they changed NOC list in May, so now not many H1-B holders are eligible. But if your occupation is listed on their NOC list, you still can apply for AINP!
