Another week down and no change with ACS
Just as the titled says Another week down and no change with ACS!! Still showing in progress since November 12th 
Found an old post from 2005 which says that there is only one ACS assessor. Surely this should be done on a first come first served basis. Even OH is starting to get panicked now and believe me it takes allot to get him worried!!! 11 weeks and counting.

It may add a week or two, they declare 12 weeks as a estimate anyway, not committing themselves. So think happy thoughts, it will come 'round sooner or later.

Re: Another week down and no change with ACS
I agree - we applied a few weeks before you and only received our response mid december so if you factor in the Christmas break and it being an RPL (arguably more reading to do!) it should be with you soon :-)
Have you spoken to Kaitlin? I know she was an rpl applicant who applied just before us....
Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Absolutely everything crossed for you. I'm sure in the next phase it will be your turn first - just think, you could get your CO before any of us! Lots of Karma being sent

Re: Another week down and no change with ACS
Fingers crossed you hear soon.
If it gets to 12 weeks, I'd recommend a polite email asking if there is a problem. Tell them, you'll happily supply any further information / documents required etc.
We did this and ours was passed the day after.
The bad news is, they kept us waiting for 16+ weeks - but that was for category B. Hope they don't make you wait this long.

Re: Another week down and no change with ACS
I wouldn't worry as there seems to be no rhymne or reason to the timescale.
Oh applied 18th Nov and we got it passed 2 weeks ago, but I know of others who have had to wait 13 or 14 weeks.
Keep your chin up and it will happen

Re: Another week down and no change with ACS
Well guys I have to be honest and say ....
I HOPE I GET A CO BEFORE YE TOO!!!!
No being serious though we have to get passed this hurdle first. I was in contact with the ACS last Monday as I increased the spam filter on our email address and as a result some of our mails weren't coming through so I called them just to make sure that they had not contacted us looking for additional information. The woman I was speaking with said it was with the assessor and we should hear something in a few weeks. Mind you when we sent the additional references at the end of November we were also told it was with the assessor so technically the assessor has had it a very long time. This is where the doubt sets in.......

Re: Another week down and no change with ACS
Sorry to hear that. I feel a bit bad actually as I was going on a mad one when I wasnt getting updated for my rpl. At this stage I'd have flown over and pinned them up against the wall asking for an explanation. Hope it come soon. Have to do my ielts test tomorrow in Manchester. Typically United are playing away.
