For what it's worth, I they said the following in an e-mail dated 23 January 2019: "For the type of report which you requested, Assessment and Research Consultants are currently preparing reports for files for which we received appropriate documentation on, or before, July 12, 2018."

I'm getting a bachelors degree and a masters degrees assessed by the way.

Judging by @Robort's timeline, they should be done with July 2018 and moving into August now. So @rohan my guess is you should be getting assessed in the next week or two. Grateful if you would let us know when it happens and post your timeline.

This is my Timeline, I thought i will get some update this week..Now, its been 6 months from submission queue date - 10th Aug:

08-10-2018 Application reviewed for completeness and placed in queue for assessment
08-07-2018 Additional Information / Documents Received
06-28-2018 Additional Information / Documents Received
06-26-2018 Additional information required. Communication sent by email
06-07-2018 Additional Information / Documents Received
05-10-2018 Application Received

Anybody with nearby dates who got their status changed to "Assessment in Progress" ?

Same for me too.. Is it different timelines for bachelor degree alone and combined ones.. In earlier chats here, i could find people with submitted date as 24th Jul'18 got their reports on 24th Jan'19 (Exact 6 Months). I thought PR related assessment will be same for any type of requests...Seems, i might be wrong...Hope it will come fast.. Planning to drop a mail to ICAS, if no status update is there till 14th Feb.

I don't think the timeline changes depending on whether it's one degree or 2 degrees. Based on what they said in the e-mail, I think it's just first come first serve. I'm also surprised at the delays recently since on their site the current estimated processing time is 20 weeks. Oh well.

I have dropped a mail to ICAS on 15th Feb'18 to know the details, few minutes back got response that "For the type of report which you requested, Assessment and Research Consultants are currently preparing reports for files for which we received appropriate documentation on, or before, July 29, 2018.". So now, basically their timeline extended from 20 weeks to more than 30 weeks from date of submission.. Overall 8 - 10 months, it will take for 2 degree certificate. hmmm..

Hey, thanks a lot for the update. They are moving so slow. It's unacceptable. I think I'll try WES.

First of all, congratulations! Thanks for sharing your timeline. It seems it's now a 6.5 to 7 month wait but hopefully they assess me as having masters equivalent so that the wait is worth it.

Hi,
Mail me at acestone34@gmail.com,
I also initiated the process in Dec 2018.
My iqas application was rejected. So I applied to ICAS.

I have also applied for degree assessment thru ICAS.my qualifications are grad from SMU (2010-2013) and pg from IGNOU. My file date is 10 Oct 2018.. looks like the 20 week timeframe has shifted to a longer period.

I dropped an email on Friday to ICAS and they have responded today mentioning that they are processing firls dated 16 Aug 2018..

This is going to take like forever. Now I really wish it is worth waiting.. anybody who recently got positive assessment for SMU??
