Stranded Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hi AllOur Agent apparently contacted ACS (Last week)and ACS apparently understand our crisis,and apparently they would have e-mailed us the results last week. Nothing as yet, agent not taking our calls, or responding to SMS/e-mails.If I do not get a hold of our agent by tomorrow, I will have to take the law in my own hands. I do not want to harrass the ACS agent, but, if I have to I will have to.Thank you allStranded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieterK Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I might be grasping at straws now, but can't you contact DIAC and get written permission to apply for your visa using your ACS reference number? Then you can send them the result letter once it arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leigh MC Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Good luck, Stranded!I know Biker had to phone them and fight a bit - but they apologised and he got his assessment (positive) from them.Leigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranded Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hi allIt is 01h49(SA Time) in the morning and I am awaiting the big news still.Got a hold of our agent today, he said that he would be calling Sydney tonight, and then he will let us know asap when he knows.It is now already 10h53 in Sydney and no message from Agent, sent him an SMS at 00h58(SA time) asking Any news?So I sent an e-mail to our ACS Skills Assessment Officer directly, begging her to assit us.Should we not receive an e-mail tonight back from her, I will have to take SD_MOA up on his offer to assist us 2morrow.Please keep on praying for some very good news.Stranded(Very tired, nervous, excited, confused ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stranded Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hubby was on the phone with her now, I just could not wait any longer!She say she will send the answere soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hi,You not got your number yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranded Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hi BikerYes, we have the refrence number, but we need to know passed or not AND the ASCO code. Hubby had a complicated application, once they approve the RPL, they will define which area they feel he leans towards. If that makes sense. So we need the ASCO code and "Okay" from them. The Assessor told hubby this morning that she will have it done either Wednesday, but latest Thursday. (Thursday being our last day to lodge)So 2 more "sleepies", Thanks for all your support ladies and gents!! Stranded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawid Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Stranded, I hope that all will work out for you.Also myself - I have some more time before the AGE-Dday but only 3 months more. I have lodged with ACS on 31 October but according to http://www.saaustraliatimeline.com/PreApplication.aspxit looks like none of the Ocrober assessments has been touched. I am after 3 months still waiting "to be allocated".Any-one know what this may mean, or how long does it take after being allocated?Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cramer Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) Hi CramerIf Hubby get's his way = MelbourneIf I win the battle = AdelaideBut hubby being the man in the house, I guess we will end in Melbourne.. It is a difficult call, between Mara and Bob, they are bothe sooooo convincing! StrandedI have been leaning towards Melbourne myself fortunately my wife likes it to, I dont know what your hubby does in IT but there are a lot more oppurtunities for me in Melbourne or Sydney than Adelaide or Perth,Who knows maybe we will get to meet up in Melbourne after your ACS is approved (Positive Thinking,Positive Thinking,Positive Thinking) Edited January 27, 2009 by Cramer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think hubby should do the rest of the process, not let me know until ALL is done. I will then pack the house personally myself I think that is the best brainwave I had this century. Going to phone hubby quickly, see if he will accept?? Stranded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Frank and Leon,It does not automatically mean that your ACS will take as long as Stramded's. From what I can understand they applied for a RPL, and these assessments take much longer than the normal skills assessments with qualifiocations. So if yours is not a RPL, it should not take longer than 12 weeks maximum.Minnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping I'd be the lucky one and it got wrapped up sooner than that, but then December holidays decided to happen slap bang in the middle of my application Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank_OZ Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I really hope it might be quicker than 12 weeks. We were hoping on launching our DIAC application End of Feb, but I guess it will only happen in March then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
