Hi Myrtle!
Is there a record of you online yet? I keep checking mine just to make sure there hasnt been a mistake!

myrtle1

Nope - Just says 'no record found' - am not too worried yet (I don't think) as I am sure I have seen others say they have had this comment before

We are going for the CSL and MODL but not the RPL that you are - it seems as that's a possible reason for the speed of yours? Will keep in touch!

rachyj

The more I hear,the more I agree with you,maybe they are allocating the RPL applications quicker because they take longer to look through with all the info...

Yes,let me know when you get an update-Im sure it will be v.soon

Hi. Can I be cheeky and ask how many refs you provided for ACM? My husband has an MCSE and +8 years in I.t including firewall/ network security and has decided to go for this as although he works for himself repairing local computers in homes he has lots of experience in buinesses and has decided to get refs from them who have all gladly agreed to provide them. The thing is he wants to get in my opinion a few too many although this can't be a bad thing as it demonstrates his ability to work in varying areas. What do you think? Also did you post or upload and who did you get to sign docs?

Hubby had 3 jobs spanning 10 years and was given HR refs which were very short and to the point. He backed this up with colleague refs for each job but as these were not on headed notepaper, he also wrote 3 statutory declarations to substantiate these, signed by a solicitor. We did all this on the advice of a friend who had been through the ACS process. We sent our application by courier.

Hi Kayelem
No probs! My hubby has actually provided 2 refs-one from his current employer,and one from his past employer,he's only ever worked for 2 companies. Just like Myrtles hubby,we had to back one of these ref's up as it was very short and quite vague,so he had to provide a stat declaration as well!If your hubby can get more than 2 then I assume this would help his application more? We have gone through an agent ,so everything was checked before we sent it,and they were happy with us only sending 2... In regards to signing docs,we paid a solicitor to do it-he charged us £15 to sign 10 docs approx...We sent our application in the post via our agent..

Hope this info helps,sorry if it's a bit vague,dont want to give you any wrong info as we havent passed ours yet-you just never know what they are after I suppose!

Good Luck with your application

I have managed to get a "To be allocated.." response when I track my application - but only once. Every other time it says.."no record found.." Hmmm

rachyj

To be honest,I struggled to get on a few times yesterday-maybe it plays up when it's busy? Just take it that you are being allocated-you're on the way

Hi Everyone!

Now the waiting begins...

Wishing you a speedy process

Interesting reading all the timelines for the ACS - I have to say considering they are a "IT" skills assesment company their processes don't seem that efficient. I mean it would have been great to have a full online application process like immi...

Anyway good luck everyone in this process I know how painful and worrying the waiting is!!
