The question is WHEN did EA rejected your application ?!

& if you already in the ICT field & managed to score 80 points then why did you go for EA as a mechanical engineer ?!

I'm not sure but I suppose that EA failed to assess your degree for some reason

 

I am 4-5 months short of turning 33, so I got EA assessment done just as a backup (Couldn't rely on the ACS assessment because I had flunked a couple of units in my IT degree).

So basically I panicked and got both assessments done(EA and ACS). The EA rejected my application on 15 Jan 2019 and the ACS approved theirs. This answers your first two questions.

I am not concerned about failing to assess my degree, but I am concerned about the phrase "reporting to department of immigration for further investigation"

I gave EA my passport, bachelors degree and CDR's. It is highly unlikely that my passport and degree were misleading, has to be something to do with my CDR.

And to clarify, CDR's were not plagiarised as I had run them through Turnitin.

Thanks

 

Turnitin is just one indicator of plagiarism - with the amount of CDR's these assessors go through I'm sure they have other ways of recognizing unoriginal stuff (e.g. especially if a 'professional CDR writing' organisation did it) - hopefully in this case it was just a false flag. If you are confident - apply for a review.

Speaking as an unprofessional and purely speculatively, if I as a CO had a note from an authorised skills assessment authority regarding person X that there were integrity concerns and potentially misleading/bogus docos, I would definitely factor that into my overall assessment.

 

If I were you, and were confident that "no fake" document was provided, I would have appealed them to change the conclusion regarding "misleading statement" rejection is fine, however, misleading could be severe... I advise you to take this serious. Very strange case though... This is my honest advise, and I have never heard such thing.

 

did the EA report it to department of Home Affairs ?
