I received a letter from ACS last Friday. I was turned down. I have been
assessed as project manager from June 98 to present with degree group B.
I was expecting group A, as my degree majored in IT. I am wondering if
my degree does not count as A because:

- it was a conversion to BSc (Hons) Business Information Systems from an
HND in Business Information Technology - run by an ICT College and
verified by Leeds Metropolitan University

or

- it was because I could not obtain transcripts for my final year (the
course has been discontinued and all records destroyed - each party
Doncaster and Leeds believing the other held records)



Can you give me any guidance as to the best way to appeal? I am so
disappointed. I will not be able to find transcripts, but could
probably ask the course coordinator to write a letter of verification
stating an IT content of over 50%.



Thanks very much

Sarah

By 'turned down' do you mean they stated you as being 'unsuitable for migration'?

I would suggest you hire a good migration agent who is familiar with
ACS rules and policies (not every agent deals in this area).

Yes. George is going to assist me. Still can't believe that I need to go
through the whole process again :-(
