Hi,
I have applied for my EA assessment in Mechanical Engg(CDR Route) and the application processing started on the 12th April, 2012. I have already got my CID number(I am staying in Australia on a 457 so it was received by normal post).
Anyone who has processed a skill assessment via EA CDR in recent times, can you post your timeline here. I am apprehensive(almost sure) that I will not make the timeline for July,2012.:confused2:
I submitted my CDR (Engineering Technologist) on Apr 12th too, according to EA website, current processing time for CDR is 12 weeks, and you are asking not to contact them within this period, I suppose I won't be able to meet the July 12 deadline.
thats really great to hear...am waiting with bated breath....spent so much of time working on those essays...really difficult to write so much stuff while working full time
gillofrompk- when did you submit your CDR...I mean in which month
My agent had send mine(CDR-Mechanical Engineer -Skill assesment application ) on 14-April 2012 and fees for the same was debited from my account on 19-April 2012 but till now i have not recieved CID number
And i am also sure that i will not make july 2012 deadline
Just want to know when will I receive CID number as my fees for assessment has been debited from my CC and ,Is there is ny possibilities that skill assessment result can come before 12 weeks of time ??
Does nyone have experience of getting skill assessment result before 12 weeks from EA ??
Well the current timeline for EA is being shown as 10 weeks from the date of receipt. If you email them with the subjet line as STATUS(email id is msastatus@engineersaustralia.org.au, they will tell u the date for which they are dealing with now.
About the CID, the CID will tell u exactly the day on which your Application was received. I got mine in 2 days, though I am in Australia so its faster. U should get the CID number within 7-10 days depending on ur country of location.
In case you think you have surpassed that time, I guess u can call your agent and he can ask EA about the same. Though without the CID, I dunno how u can quote your case.Your agent must be knowing this information.
Hope that u make it before the July deadline buddy.
I will ask my agent about the same .Let's see if I get it done before July 12 i.e within 10 weeks then I have chance to apply under current rule though it looks bit difficult but I m optimistic
Anyways what's ur timelines ,I mean have u got ur visa ??
Hi,
I didn't understand what you meant by applying for a Visa. I cannot apply before I have the EA result with me.I applied to EA on 12th April so going by their 10 weeks timeline I should have the result by 20th June. Am also a bit optimistic. If things change, can't help it. Whats the date coming to provided ur application was processed on the 19th April(add 10 weeks).
Also I guess for you, make sure u receive the result in post coz it seems that u didn't receive ur CID. U can also arrange for a courier to deliver it to u if u are not too confident abt the delivery in India
Ya ,I will contact my agent to receive my result via courier and as u said I had send mail to EA regarding status but I received this below reply :

hi,
ya thats what they are saying now. This means that they are taking up around 8 weeks to come up to the CDR and then it will take around 10 days for it to be finalized and delivered.So they are right now sticking to their 10 weeks time line.
Hello everybody, My agent told me that the CDR application(Electrical Engineer ANZSCO 233311) was submitted on 10 Apr. But the Credit Card has not yet been charged. What should I do? The agent insists that he has lodged the application.
Are you sure your credit card has not been charged yet. Its 30-04 today and u are saying u lodged it on 10-04. It should definitely be charged within 3-4 days of reaching them.
You can asked for courier tracking number of your application courier which was send by your agent to EA to ensure that application has been received by EA and if it's confirmed you or your agent can contact EA directly about status
Best of luck @Destinationaustralia.
I have heard that EA responds to phone queries as well so you can try that as well. Since you have not even received your CID in 20 days, I think its a point of concern.
Are you sure your agent has submitted it?
The agent is of good repute and is based in Melbourne whome I have approached through a relative. But under the present circumstances I am having a re-think. Anyway, as you have said I better get in touch with EA.
Hi,
I submitted my CDR on 12th Apr, today my agent told me that EA asking for company reference from my previous company (an International company), but I've left the company long ago, and my previous superior also left the company, no body is going to certify my reference, what can I do? Please help...
Try to find any old documents as proof of your employment with the company eg; pay slips, appointment/promotion letters, awards, letter written by you in your capacity as an employee etc, though a letter from HR, any manager on company letter head would be ideal.
At the time of submission of your SKILL ASSESSMENT APPLICATION you must have submitted all employment letters with all references so if needed EA can contact them but if you have not done the same then so it's a incomplete info and your agent must have to check this anyways now only option is to give landline number of HR department so if needed they can cross check your employment with them as HR have all records irrespective of time.
I've submitted my CV with all the company's information and my job function, I just manage to get company reference letter from my latest company, I left my previous company long ago, about 8 years ago, my previous superior is no longer there. Actually, I have a confirmation of employment letter from my previous company when I joint my latest company, but then the contents of the letter just confirmed me as the employee and didn't mention about what I've done in the company. Is this letter good enough?
My fees is deducted from CC though I havnt received any CID number may be it's with my agent or watever but now my concern is are we hopeful that we can receive our assessment result well before July 12 ??? As per my agent ACS said they will process all cases which applied before may 1 2012 so they can further process PR file in old rule but is this the same case with EA.
I think the CID number would be intimated to your agent. I had a recent communication from EA where they said that all contacts shall be with the agent only.
I hope EA too does the same for its CDR applicants as done by ACS
CID is required of course as a reference number. But EA sends it by ordinary post, so it may take time to get to an overseas address. I have come across cases where applicants have reported that they have received the assessment results but not the CID.
Finally my CID number is received today with receipt date of 18-April-12 ,now I m bit relieved and hoping to get positive assessment result at least on 3 week of June .i.e 10 weeks of current time mentioned by EA and also I requested my agent to collect result through courier to reduce time of shipment
Great, congrats on ur CID. And its good that u told ur agent to collect the result by courier. The current timeline is 10 weeks but they have been processing the applications of 29th Feb for a week now. They take like around a week to process application for a day. Then how can they even stick to the timeline of 12 weeks. I am thinking that the automated mailing service is not updated.Me too hoping to get my results atleast by the 20th of June,2012.That way I will still have 10 days to apply. Was thinking of applying for state sponsorship but I think that's too much of a long shot.By the way, there was this guy on Britishexpat who had send a CDR in Mid March and received results by end of March. Weird isn't it?
I think without positive skill assessment and desired ILETS score we won't be able to apply SS so now we have to wait and pray that we should receive assessment result well before July 12
And tell me about QUEENSLAND SS ,I havent seen any forum which are discussing this SS as if I want to go with SS Then I m thinking to apply for QUEENSLAND
You can apply without Skill Assesment from offshore and u have to provide a positive skill assessment result within a certain period after they accept ur application. Heard the timelines are variable, but since its free, why not apply.
U need to have skill assessment for Queensland and also their list of Skills is not that long. Check if u have ur occupation there
Look for Vic SS in the forum or better still go and look up everything they have at the State website. They have all the eligibility marked out along with the SOL.BUt I am sure abt what I wrote reg applying without a Skill Assessment. Vic is the only state which allows that. Though I guess with so many people wanting to live in Melbourne, its difficult to get the sponsorship.
One more query popped in mind after reading a post .
We all are waiting for our positive assessment result in June end 2012 ( if our luck will be with us then probably we can achieve this deadline ) but what if we want to go for SS I.e 176 visa as it is very fast track process as compared to 175 but for the same we have to first wait for SS result and certainly it will comes after July 12 as it will be requiring atleast 4-5 weeks of time so as a result our VISA 176 PR file will be applied under new rule of skillset
If this is true then our only option is to apply VISA 175 or 475 in old rule .
Guys ,Is my understanding is right ??,Please reply ur thoughts about the same

In the case of EOI, as I understand you can keep updating if case you have acquired new points (eg; from SS or better scores in IELTS etc). However under the present system once applied say 175, points or visa class cannot be changed. The application will have to be withdrawn (no refunds I think) and re-applied in a different class, say 176.
Even after applying under present rules one can give an EOI. Also for EOI fees is to be paid only if one gets a call to apply.
Ya I guess that's true. if u are lucky enough to get ur Skill assessment done within June, it makes sense to apply immediately before the rules change. I mean to apply for 175. I don't think I will apply for a 475 coz it takes 18 months to process and by the end of it, u just have the work authorization to live in regional Australia and work. Its difficult to find work in Australia on a temp work visa, they always prefer people with PR
Hey, didn't quite understand the concept.On 3rd may he knew that his results was positive without the hard copy and the time reported was 9 weeks. When did he/she actually submit and how does he know that the outcome is positive if he/she hasn't even received any letter?
Thats great work..Ya I agree, I have been tracking it just fo 2 weeks but its really disheartening to follow the progress.Whats more weird is that going by this pace, they won't even keep the time mentioned of 12 weeks on the website. Is there something wrong that we are missing? Why are they still mentioning the time as 10 weeks.
@Savithru-when did ur processing commence?
