Experts,

I am getting anxious.It has been 20 days since my application is in status "To be Allocated" with ACS.They have received by application on 10th Nov. I have paid through direct transfer to ACS.Money was reducted from my account 5th Nov,which I initialized the direct transfer.

Any expert who can advise me here?

Hi

When we submitted our RPL 2 years ago we waited 26 days from 'to be allocated' to 'in process'.

It's agony, but you will just have to be patient. Once you've passed your skills assessment, you'll have months of waiting with your visa application!

yup..
I sent my application in Sep for ACS and it took almost a month before it went into 'In Progress' and then that took another month...
Hang in there

Experts,

Now its 30 days and my application still says "To Be Allocated" !!

Do you think, I should contact ACS or wait more?

Hi Manish,

TBH if that were me, I'd contact ACS to find out what's going on. I couldn't bear to wait any longer. It's probably all fine and they're just snowed under at the moment, but for peace of mind, I'd email them (or phone....it's quicker - which is what we did when we had a query).
