Hi
Please help us with this query ! I am a very new member to this site. Myself and my wife are together applying for the Australian PR under GSM 175 . In order to get eligible , I have to claim 5 points from my spouse skills.
Following are the series of events.
I scored R-8 , L-8 , W-7.5 , S-7 in IELTS and wife scored R -6 , W-6 , L - 7 , S - 6
So with IELTS we have become ready, Now I applied for ACS and my documents reached ACS on 09-02-2012 and was moved to the Stage 4 and is currently in stage 4.
My wife's documents reached ACS only by 16-02-2012, we had sent the following documents:-
1) Reference letter from Team Lead
2) Offer letter (she was working in only one company for 3.5 years)
3) Joining Letter
4) Service certificate and resignation letter (She has resigned two months back)
5) B-tech Degree certificate ( Computer science and engineering)
6) Consolidated marks statements
7) 10th and 12th standard certificate
8) certification award
9) Affidavit for the correction in name in the degree certificate
10) Gazzette copy for the name change
Upon receiving these documents , we immediately got a mail from ACS saying
" Certified copy of detailed employer references from Tata. The employer reference needs to be on the company letterhead and include:
· The job title
· A detailed job description
· Specific dates of employment
· Clearly state whether employment was full-time or part-time
· Demonstrated levels of competence with any computer languages, the various types of hardware and software used and the extent of involvement with any major projects.
Please Note: ACS is unable to accept letters of appointment, self statutory declarations or contracts as employment references."
We then got a detailed reference letter written by her Project lead to whom she was reporting and sent it across to them, this time we tried reaching the Company where she was working and requested them to issue a letter on the company letter head about her skills. They gave a same copy of the experience certificate which they have already given at the time of getting relieved from the company , but this time in the certificate they have mentioned a extra point saying "10. Skills : Java " So along with this document we sent it to ACS, day before yesterday they again sent a mail , as soon as they got the documents that
"In reference to your Skills Assessment, please be advised that we are unable to complete your application until further documentation is received.

Please Note: ACS is unable to accept letters of appointment, self statutory declarations or contracts as employment references. If you are unable to provide a detailed reference letter we require an official statutory declaration from a colleague in a higher position stating the duties that you performed."
So now , since her project lead does not have access to company letterpad we requested him to get the reference letter as a statutory declaration on a 20 rupees stamp paper.
He has agreed.
We are in serious confusion as to what ACS really wants , since this is the second time this has happened.
Also , wanted to know , how much time it takes for the skills to get assessed , as we have provided reference in the form of statutory declaration from the project lead.
Any help in this regard would be great !!!
Awaiting for the reply!!!!
