Review and Appeal applications can only be submitted within 60 days of a finalised skills assessment. After the 60 days have elapsed, a new application is required.
How long does a Review or Appeal application take to process?
This will take approximately four (4) to six (6) weeks, but it may take longer than this at the Appeal Committee’s discretion.
In my case naman, 1 week lang I received the result of my Review
Please be mindful lang ha that if you file an appeal, it overrules your previous application. Meaning the result of your appeal is final. While if you file a Review, regardless of the result, both assesment will still be valid

In the guidelines, I know it says 8 on each test. I'm just curious if OBS is what they meant. Stupid question, I know. But just wishful thinking.
"IELTS score of at least 8 on each of the four components of the test"

NSW refers to the ACS assessment of skilled employment claims.
If you apply for NSW nomination and wish to claim
skilled employment points without this version of the ACS skill
s assessment, you will be ask
ed to provide an updated
skills assessment.
Kasama kasi ako dun sa mga huling batch na di pa nagbabawas ng years.
Would this mean magpapareasses ako kahit 2 yrs validity ng acs result ko?
