ACS 6 weeks but still in process?

10-09-2006, 10:31 PM

I've checked my skill assessment with ACS since they received my
application on 23 Aug. It's about 6 weeks now but the status's still in
process? it says Managed By Pileny Nata , not sure if he/she is my case
officer? i've heard that the average is about 5 weeks, isn't it? I'm
international student and use my australian degree to apply, so my case
is quite straight forward, don't know why it take so long, or maybe it's
hi season this time? anyone have skill assess with ACS about this time,
have you got it yet? Thanks

Mine was received 11th Sept and was still, this morning, "to be
allocated" - it has just changed tonight to "in process" so I guess
things are taking a little longer now.

My RPL one took seven weeks, but my wife's "straight forward" degree one
took nine weeks. I also guess they're going to be busier now there's
more computing on the MODL.

Hi

Ours was received on 15 Aug, money taken from credit card on 23rd Aug
and we are still in process (managed by Anthony Ellard). I actually now
don't believe the log-in screen will ever change!!! Either that or I
will fail the medical, having had a recent heart attack from the
shock!!!

Hi Perz,

I had to wait 8 weeks for my application to be given the green light,
they will only update the status once they have made their decision,
plus you will receive an email notifying you of the outcome.

Good luck to you all.

i have to wait for another 2 weeks then, and probably will have a heart
attack soon or stroke...

We received ours at the beginning of October, took around 8 weeks and
it was a straightforward case. Hang in there, just another couple of
weeks to wait. Spend the time getting your visa forms filled in,
it'll pass the time for you and you'll be ready to go as soon as you
get your result.

Good luck.

That's the easy part, (but I didn't think that at the time), the worse
part is now having to wait for a response from DIMA re the visa
application, now I am having a stroke and I have only just submitted my
application!!!!!
