ACS "Acknowledgements"
 
My ACS skills assessment was submitted on 24/12/07 and I have just found out from our agent that we still haven't had the acknowledgement.

I know the assessment can take 8-12 weeks but is it 8-12 weeks from submission or from acknowledgement? Does it usually take this long to get the acknowledgement?

Thanks

Mark

Nope, it seems that most of the time ACS send ack emails to the wrong address. Its ridiculous how often they do that. Email them yourself as thats what I did. That way, they will have your correct address.

I received my ack with the file number in about 4 weeks from submitting. You have to consider that Christmas week most of Aus was having fun off work, so there could be a week or two of a delay. Hope this helps.

Ours was submitted last year so timings may be different. Submitted on 09/05, acknowledgment sent to agent on 16/05.
Good luck with your application:thumbsup:

My agency's e-mail address was already printed on the form so hopefully this won't be the case. :)

Sounds like we may be experiencing a bit of a xmas and NY hang-over! Out of interest, how long did it take you to get your result after you received your ack?

Hi,
Just to let you know, that my agent submitted an ACS application on my behalf last Friday and I got an acknowledgement (via agent) yesterday.

Hi,

I Agree with Knockoff. Whoever entered the details on the computer probably made a typing error and input the email address wrong. Thats what happened to us recently. Just give them a shout tonight and you will have the ack email within minutes of getting off the phone with them.

Im heading into 13 weeks and our app is still showing in process. We lodge Nov 6th but I have come across lots of people who have lodged their app in Dec and early Jan who have already had their results back. Its the luck of the draw really.
