Mirmai Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 so sorry, i'm going to have a rant! I just wish that people would get a wriggle on! I applied for ANMAC in jan and sent off my payment, and then went about collecting my documentation. Everything that was in my control was done in the space of an afternoon! I requested a professional reference from my manager in january, and despite asking many times, I've only just had it from her last week! I sent off a form to the university at the beginning of february requesting my transcripts, again despite many phone-calls and promises by this woman that it will be sent out by "next week", I'm still waiting!!! (note the anoyance by using the bold italic!!) any suggestions on how i can get her to shift things along without being too confrontational (I have a feeling that if i was to stir things up shed dig her heels in a bit more!!) sorry, it feels good to share though!

Mir xx I requested a professional reference from my manager in january, and despite asking many times, I've only just had it from her last week! You rant away if i had waited that long i would have blown lol. I waited over 4 weeks for my reference and was annoyed with that, how she made you wait that long is beyond me. As for uni well......thats just as bad, cant you speak to someone more senior, surely she has a boss, also write to student support services get the, to look into it also. Pressure from all angles should give her a push in the right direction. Mine is taking 2 weeks, and she even rang me day after she recieved it and emailed with an update. She can not dig her heels in if shes not doing her job properly and i guess her employers are not aware. At the end of the day you are paying for a service, they are earning money from you?.................good luck xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirmai Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Cheers tinaisrar, sent her an asertive email this afternoon, and she replied staright back ( funny as she wasnt answering her phone!!!), will be sorted by friday, so well see!! Hate having to rely on others to do their job! My manager was reluctant to write the reference incase she wrote the wrong things and messed things up for me, only when i discussed it with asociate chief that things started moving! Sorry all rant today, im happier now ive shared it! We seem to be at the same stage.....heres to a swift ANMAC assessment, best wishes, Mir xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chxrn Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Received also today.. Dear Sir/Madam, Please be advised that earlier today, Wednesday 12 June 2013, ANMAC had to recall an email that was originally sent to a number of applicants and migration agents on Friday 31 May 2013, regarding an update on processing times for migration skills assessments. The email was recalled due to concerns about applicant privacy and therefore the email should be deleted. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have created. In the meantime, I can confirm that our office has been inundated with skills assessment applications. This increase is being managed internally with the appointment of extra staff to help reduce assessment times. The ANMAC international assessment team has effectively doubled in the past few months in an effort to reduce assessment these times. Please understand that calling or emailing our office to enquire about the progress of your skills assessment will only create further delays to obtaining your letter of determination from ANMAC. Applicants (and nominated agents where appointed) are encouraged to ensure that all documentation submitted to the ANMAC office meets our assessment requirements, as this has been a major source of increasing turnaround times. If you are an onshore applicant and have any concerns about your current visa expiring please contact the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) directly to discuss your visa options http://www.immi.gov.au. Kind Regards ANMAC International Section E international@anmac.org.au Postal Address: GPO Box 400 Canberra City ACT 2601 AUSTRALIA http://www.anmac.org.au The information contained in this email message and any attached file may be confidential or protected by copyright and may be the subject of legal professional privilege.

It is needed for ANMAC. You can do the general test for points but it has to be the academic for your assessment. Have to have 7's in all categories.

samdom1 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Hi Fateh, Id give it another few days to be honest the variation in times of receiving LOD is broad, I'm in the same position as you re Visa fee's, the next round of Visa Invitations is poss 1st of July and as Ive only just sent of my EOI we wont make it before the increase in fees?!! :confused: I don't really think we can do anything about that though so prob best just to accept the increase...are you still in UK cos at least the pound is doing better against the AUS dollar so fees wont cost so much in exchange of pounds?? I really do feel for you though the waiting has nearly killed me off already...hope you hear really soon x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dermo1 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I did academic test but needed 8 in each section, got 9/8/7/9 so had to sit general a further x2 times! Eventually got 8.5/9/8.5/9. I'm 43 and needed enough points also to get in. I went through a migration agent who applied to ANMAC. I needed the skilled assessment 1st to get permanent residency (subclass 189) and then I applied to AHPRA. My advice is get a notary to sign all your documents 1st as I used a solicitor 1st time round and AHPRA then needed a notary to sign the lot.
