Hi, Hope your skills assessment is back now. I don't know if you are considering state sponsorship for a 190 but I thought I'd let you know that we have received an invite from NSW in just over 5 weeks. We had 65 points + 5 more for sponsorship.

The agent emailed me on the same day they received the positive assessment with copies attached. The AASW have since been in touch directly about membership, free until the end of their membership year and then discounted for 2 years after. Hope you hear back soon, it is a massive relief to get the positive assessment

I didn't hear anything from them about my assessment except when their estimated time frames increased from 18 weeks to 25 weeks. I'm using an agent and it's fair to say I was becoming really impatient and then all of a sudden confirmation and certificates/letters arrive via email and then post.

Good luck with your assessment. It turned out to be a really long wait for my assessment, submitted 11/9/17 and received it back 29/3/17, but it really was worth the wait

Hi, I'm a long time lurker, first time poster. I just wanted to add a post having received a positive assessment from the AASW. Prior to submitting my application I found many posts that were not positive (from a number of sites) about having a 2 year Masters in Social Work assessed and this led to some disappointment/worry whilst I waited for the reply. Anyway I have had my positive assessment thanks to the Masters being considered alongside my non-related BA in English Lit. Hopefully if someone is in a similar situation this may ease some worries . I also want to add that I have found this site very helpful and is my go to resource when I think of an emigration question. Thanks, Dai
