Fast Track Migration Skills Assessment By Engineers Australia (Fast Track EA MSA)

Fast Track Migration Skills Assessment by Engineers Australia (Fast Track EA MSA)

The usual Engineers Australia Migration Skills Assessment process takes 4 to 7 months. Once you submit the MSA Engineers Australia application, you can opt for the Engineers Australia Fast Track Assessment process where your application is passed on to an assessor or the case officers within five to fifteen working days. EA charges a premium fee of $275 (including GST) for the fast-track service.

The fast-track EA MSA service is only available to applicants who have already submitted their visa application online. Those who haven’t applied yet can request for the Fast Track service when they submit their application.

Since the usual MSA processing time can take several months, you might want to use the Fast Track service and get your visa approval quickly.

Why does Skills Assessment processing take time?

The waiting period for the Engineers Australia Migration Skills Assessment depends on the number of applications it receives. Many of these applications do not have all the required information and thus, their assessment gets delayed.

EA requests not to contact the authority about the status of the application before 16 weeks (or four months) in the case of normal skill assessment process and before 15 days in the Fast Track process – as it will only delay processing times of all applications it receives. However, you can send a blank status email request to receive an automated response which contains the updated advice on dates of applications currently being processed.
