Timescales for VETASSESS Skills Assessment

[Guest vicky_1970]

Does anyone know roughly how long VETASSESS are taking to process skills assessment under General Skilled Migration ? I do not need to sit any tests only have my qualifications and work experience assessed.

 

I have only just started this process several weeks ago and the waiting is killing me already !! We are so desperate to make a better life for ourselves and my gorgeous baby girl (3 yrs old). I feel like this is going to take years to get anywhere.

 

Thanks

Its taken us about 5 weeks or so to hear fron VETASSESS. Our agent said they didnt seem to be processing them in much of an order though. Typical. Hope that helps

When we put our paperwork in it took 4 weeks to hear and then it will be 10 working days to hear about your practical. I guess you should be about 4 weeks if your not doing the practical. They are very helpful when you ring, phone 10pm uk time as its 9am there.

Thanks very much - your replies are reassuring !! I was working on about 8 weeks and sod's law we're off on holiday for 2 weeks (booked long before we decided to go for this !!) and that is when the 8 weeks are up. It would delay everything by about 2/3 weeks which will ultimately put me over the 1st july date - not a massive problem but will have to do better in the IELTS test !!
