Skills assessment validity
Hi everyone, I have yet to lodge my long-delayed online application. My skills assessment result is valid until 5 Feb 2008, and according to booklet 6, i should lodge my application within the validity period of my assessment result. Is it safe to say that if I submit my application on 1 Feb, my application will be valid? Since it is online anway and they are supposed to receive it at once. Is my date of lodgement the date when I submit the application,or is it the date when they acknowledge my application?

They do. I did mine at ACS. It says there that it is valid for a year. And now I am rushing everything

Re: Skills assessment validity
ACS has a "revalidation" application, $100 if memory serves - as a backup plan you could apply for one and that will give you an extra year 
. If you stayed in the same job that should not be a problem.
