ACS Awaiting Documents

[Ozaspirant]

Hi Seniors ,

I submitted my application to ACS on last week of April and about all most 10 weeks later my status got changed from In process to Awaiting documents , it was little panic as they requested the documents which I had already sent , “they wanted detailed employer reference from one of my previous employers specifically , since my previous employer doesn’t exist as they have closed their operation”, so initially I have attached all the possible documentation proof to confirm my employment , but this time it is bit annoying as they wanted more details from non existing employer , after going through few threads across different forums I have decided to attest colleague’s and supervisor’s confirmation letters stating my employment with my past organization , this took little time as one of my boss was in onsite at that time . So finally I managed to get the all the refrence letters and again I sent it to ACS and very eagerly waiting for further process.

Have any of you faced/or got to know this kind of situation ?, please help me to come out from this …..Your help/advise/suggestion is greatly appreciated ….all I wanted know is how ACS assesses if previous employer doesn’t exist I am in bit depression and no clue of what is happening here.

Below are my time lines with ACS.....

30th April, 09- document sent.
5th May, 09- Confirmation with user id and password. Status “to be allocated”
22nd May, 09 – Status changed to “In-Process” with the assessment officer as “XXXX”

23rd June, 09- Request for documents that I had already sent, status “Waiting Documents”

10 July , 09 – re sent the required documents to ACS.

hi OZ

they basically are not satisfied by the documents, that is the reason they ask for more.

Incase they ask for more (after what you have sent), just get a statutory declaration made on a stamp paper stating the reason why you are not able to send them the asked documents (closure of the company or whatever the reason be )

Be in their position and you would know why they ask for more documents, if you were to assess an applicant and realise the ex employer doesnt exist anymore, u wud (i am sure) ask for more document.

This has happened a lot in the past, people send documents and asked for more, a few days back Cintai (screen name) was asked for more documents to support the CV. If you search the forum for thread by Cintai you will see a similar case as yours, they asked for mroe documents (for whatever reason)

dont be upset, they wont turn down ur application, just send as much as u can gather to prove your being employed by the company. If you have any brochure of the company, that would add to making ur employment look real.

Hi Anj,

Thanks for your quick response and concern towards this thread , I too made a Statutory Declaration stating my roles and responsibilities for the employer who no longer in business , along with that as I said earlier I also attached the reference letters from previous colleagues for the proof of employment ( with their contact details) , I am hoping this will satisfy ACS , its been more than a week that I had posted my documents and still my status is in "Awaiting Documents" . ..What Next ........??.............I will defiantly go through the available threads with similar issues and mean time yours and other senior members advise/help/suggestion is appreciated.

i guess that should work.
it takes 7-15 days for the docs to reach them.

Hi All ,

Its been nearly more than a week since my status got changed from "Awaiting Documents" to "In process " , I am just wondering again is it going to take 10-12 weeks of time line , Should I inquire with ACS to remind them or let them take their own time ? .. . since it is a long wait for me .......Please advise

Dear All ,

Could you please let me know what should I do for now , Its been more than 3 weeks after I resent the documents , Its a long wait for me and I am bit scared as it seems like again going to fall in 10 -12 weeks of cycle ( as in fresh cases).

10 July , 09 – re sent the required documents to ACS.

24th July , 09 - Status changed from "Awaiting Documents" to "In Process"

Thanks
