My time line is as follows:

16th Feb In Process (case officer assigned)

If only I could stop checking the application status page 10 times a day!

Welcome ...

Good luck to hearing something soon - it's a bit tough when some people seem to be applying after you are getting quicker results and you're still waiting for the status to change!

Just keep smiling and it's true what Rachyj said... some are faster at first and then slow down in the later stages.

It's not easy holding back from checking your status - only to get disappointed when it hasn't changed anyway!!

Just imagine the excitement when there is a change on there

Folks, I got contacted from ACS today for my certified transcipts. I sent them my transcips in a sealed envelope( thats what we do in the US) both Undergrad and Masters. But they wanted new certified ones. Although its not a biggie, sounds quite unconvincing.

Anyway, they received my docs on 28th Jan,09 for C++, Java (MODL)and I got my reference no. within a week. My status was to be allocated couple of days back and I didn't check it last weekend. Now, a case officer has been assigned and status is documents awaiting.

Good news is :they are saying after certified transcipts no further docs are required; sounds like they got satisfied with my reference letters. i had more than 6 pages reference letters from two employers (current and past) with some project titles mentioned.

Hi, The Projects titles were mentioned in the refrence letters? or did u prepared different project reports?

denver09

Hi there,

My IT manager outlined only the project titles and the application and software tools used to accomplish them briefly( He just wrote the most recent project names) . Although I have done numerous projects, he only mentioned the ones he remembered...

Himanshuaus

The project report was signed by your project manager?...
was It mentioned on the company letter head?

Anyone know how long it takes once someone has been assigned to the 'Managed By' heading?

Hi Matt - this is a very similar timeline to ours - ACS received ours on 12th jan and we have also had a named officer for about a week and a bit.

We are hoping for a final result early April - sooner would be fab though

Thanks for this very useful thread guys, Good luck everybody

Question:

Do we need to specify details of our experience or just an official employment document from the company is enough ?

For my case my title is Sun Support Engineer, but this includes Solaris (MODL, CSL).

What do you think guys ?

My hubby included his CV and provided references - but these were very basic as he worked for large companies that as a rule only posted out the basic "role, job title, dates he worked there" etc.

To back this up he got references from colleagues who worked at these places with him. But these were not on headed notepaper so he had to write up statutory declarations and get them signed by a solicitor. These stat decs backed up the MODL role he was going for and linked to his experience.

A mate who had gone through the ACS process had delays because the references were not thorough enough so we were following his advice.

Having said all that ... we haven't got our result yet so I am only offering my opinion on it all.

Hopefully others will be along to offer their advice too - we're a friendly bunch

denver09

Exactly. They were all in company letter head signed by my manager. They didn't ask me for further reference things, however, asked for my transcripts eventhough I sent them earlier.

In the other thread, they asked for same kind of stuffs for a guy who had also studied in the US. They preferred notorized docs...not sealed orginals...pretty amazing

But in that company letter, say for example, if you are a Java specialist, did your job title say "Java programmer" or "Software developer" without a mention of Java ?

that's what I'm concerned about. Because usually jobs titles don't state your work duties.
