Finally got some reply after multiple follow-ups through email and call..... So I believe I can take this email as AOR on 12th March as I never received any mail other email and definitely not missed not even in spam box .....

Thank you for your inquiry to IQAS regarding your ECA application.

If you are able to track delivery of your mail and have a confirmation from a courier that your package was delivered to the IQAS office, it is most likely here in line for processing and recording it in our system. IQAS sent you a commencement letter on March 12, 2018. That means your application has been in the queue for assessment since then. We are experiencing higher than normal application volumes and appreciate your patience while we process your assessment.

Never received any AOR but got ADR on 20th March to provide Original Degree instead of Provisional provided today, count down begins again :rolleyes:

I sent my documents from Finland on 5th Feb 2018. However, unable to trace them when they reached there since I sent it via ordinary services. I assume that they reach on 15th Feb 2018 but I didn't receive any AOR yet. I guess, all of the people whose documents arrived in Feb has not yet get any AOR. I will update you once I get my AOR.

1- Create an account with IQAS and pay their fee
2- Gather all your documents as stated by the IQAS Checklist, put them in an envelope and send to the provided email address - This will be your personal copy of documents - Once this is received by IQAS they will send you AOR-1
3- Ask your relevant universities to send your Transcript and Degree in a sealed envelope to IQAS. Mention your IQAS application ID on the envelope. Once these degrees are received by IQAS they will send you acknowledgement (AOR-2)
4- Once both AOR are acknowledged by IQAS, they will process your ECA in approx. 4-5 weeks time

The acknowledgement for your documents will approximately take 5-6 weeks from the delivery date to IQAS. My personal documents were received by IQAS on 28th Feb and I am still waiting for AOR-1

It should be okay... i have filed for my ECA as well as my Wife's. I have Masters and Bachelors from two separate universities. Collected the two envelopes for me, third for my wife. Put them all together in one envelope and dispatched to IQAS.

Others have even included their personal docs and University sealed envelopes in a single mail, so it should be okay.

Oh okay thank you.
One more thing, actually two things:
1. I have 2 years BCOM and 4 years MBA, do you know what equivalency would I get?
2. Could you help me fillong out the IQAS checklist form? Its confusing.
