Hi lebourvellec, Thanks for your reply. I contacted Engineers Australia, the answer was what you've said. I need to wait for the new assessment letter before I can submit my EOI.

Hi VERYSTOMY, Thanks for your reply. I contacted Engineers Australia, the answer was that I need to wait for the new assessment letter before I can submit my EOI.

Hi, I received my basic skill assessment in Jan 2014 from Engineers Australia (EA), but two weeks ago I requested an additional assessment for my work experience. So I had to return my previous outcome letter to EA in order for them to produce an updated assessment outcome to incorporate advice on my work experience. My question is that can I still lodge my EOI given that my basic skill assessment was completed in January, even though now I have returned the original letter back to EA for an updated one. If I receive the invitation shortly after submitting EOI, it is most likely that the updated assessment letter will be dated/issued after the date of invitation, say April 2014. so I'm afraid that this will be a problem when I submit my visa application, because the date of the updated assessment will be different to the one entered in EOI (which was Jan 2014). I guess this is not a common case, and this is getting me very frustrated. I look forward to your helps. Thanks a lot in advance!!! ppx33

Hi All, I have some queries regarding Work Experience Assessment by Engineers Australia (EA) and EOI. It would be much appreciated if some of you can help. Here is my situation and timeline: December 2013 - I had a standard occupation/qualification (Australian Qualification) assessment done by EA, and successfully received the assessment outcome letter. Jan 2014 - Worked with my current employee in Australia for a year, which can give me an extra 5 points towards my EOI (makes a total of 65). Then I started preparing docs to get my work experience assessed by EA. 17 March 2014 - Submitted docs required for skilled employment assessment to EA. According to EA, I had to return the original outcome letter received previously, so to enable EA to issue an updated letter to incorporate advice on my work experience. 21 March 2014 - $330 additional service fee deducted from my credit card. No confirmation email received from EA yet. Now - I want to lodge my EOI before mid-April, but not sure when I can receive the updated assessment from EA. So, My concerns are: 1 How long will my additional work experience assessment be processed by EA, given that I already have my qualification assessed previously? The turnaround time for standard qualification assessment is approx. 8 weeks as shown on EA website, but this turnaround time is not applicable to my case. I was wondering what will be a practical processing time to expect in my case. Has anyone of you had the same situation before? 2 Worst case scenario, if it is taking too long for EA to finalise my update assessment. Is it okay for me to lodge my EOI only based on my standard skill assessment which was issued in Dec 2013, even though I have returned the original letter back to EA, which I'm afraid that the previous assessment outcome is no longer valid as I requested for an additional assessment. I hope my explanation is clear, and again your help is much appreciated. I'm desperate for an answer. Thanks!!!
