ACS Remains in Pre-Screening Stage
Hello everyone! I submitted my ACS migration skills assessment on January 31st, and I’m feeling anxious as it remains in the pre-screening stage.
Although the new processing guidelines indicate a timeframe of 15 days plus an additional 3 weeks due to high application volumes, my application status hasn’t changed at all.
I also haven’t received any requests for further information or any emails regarding my assessment.
Is anyone else facing a similar situation?
I feel quite stuck, especially considering the 1,500 AUD fee charged for this service.

Hey there and welcome to OVF 🙂
It’s understandable to feel anxious, especially with the high fee and long wait.
Australian Computer Society (ACS) processing times can sometimes extend beyond the stated guidelines, particularly during peak periods.
Since it has been over a month, you may want to contact ACS directly through their online enquiry form or call them to check on your application status.
Based on my research, some applicants have reported delays even when no additional information is required. 🤷🏻
If you haven’t received a request for further documents, it’s likely still in the queue for assessment.
If you’re in urgent need of the result (for visa deadlines or job applications), you could also mention this in your follow-up with ACS.
Hopefully, if others in the forum are experiencing similar delays they will reach out to you via this post.
Hope it moves forward soon!

Mark – thanks for this – I’ve sent ACS a request for an update – hopefully, they respond sooner rather than later. Appreciate the suggestions!
