Australia Computer Society (ACS)
Migration Skills Assessments
The Australian Computer Society, better known as the ACS, is the government-approved skills assessing authority that undertakes migration skills assessments for the twenty-four occupations listed below. A migration skills assessment is essential for people who intend to apply for a 189, 190, 491, 494, or 186 Direct Entry Stream visa.
Our team at EasiVisa assists lots of super-smart people with their ACS skills assessments and related visa applications. The ACS has complex documentary requirements. It’s important to understand which documents are required and why before submitting an application.
We have listed the ACS skills assessment charges and our fees below.
We discount our professional fees for managing the visa application process, where our team has already managed a related skills assessment application.
The current processing time for an ACS assessment is about 8 to 10 weeks where the correct information and documentation is provided. It’s important to provide the ACS with the essential information and documentary evidence required in order to receive a positive decision.
In some instances, for example, where an applicant’s visa is about to expire, the ACS may agree to give priority to a particular application.

Team EasiVisa is the best immigration consultant group in the country as they helped me achieve my Permanent Residency against all odds. I consulted around 20 immigration consultants around the country via phone or email, trying to explain the complexity in my case. Not many of the immigration consultants would listen to me over the phone without having a formal paid arrangement, only to repeat the same things. 2 agents suggested that I may be eligible but they did not sound very confident and were charging heavy amount for the whole process.
Then I came across EASIVISA. On my first call, I was immediately transferred to a junior consultant on the phone. On explaining my case, she further transferred me to a senior consultant Carol-Ann Lynch. I can clearly remember that day, when I spoke with Carol-Ann for around 30-45 minutes. She was so kind and patient to listen to my whole story and I instantly connected with her.
Very next day she replied back with an email explaining the 2 possible pathways. I was able to call her whenever I needed before we finalised the contract. I was very eager to start the process but instead of rushing me to sign the contract, Carol-Ann suggested me to wait until she did some more research in my case. She apparently emailed the immigration department and also used all her contacts to get as much information as possible before we started the process.
Once the contract was done my case was handled by another agent named Jenny Liu, who was even more supportive and dealt with all my queries with a lot of patience. Throughout the process, Jenny and Carol guided me at every step with all the letters and the documentation required.
The application was so well prepared that I was not asked any further documents and it got approved in record time after submission.
I cannot be thankful enough to EASIVISA for helping me achieve my peace of mind and security for my family. I am forever indebted to them.
Cheers to the team and a big THANKS !!!

Please read this review carefully. This is the best immigration agency you can find in AUSTRALIA! Esther is such a brilliant and an amazing migration agent. The extensive documents she requested even though we thought they were of no use, were the key to our application coming through so quickly. She regularly informed us on the status of our application and made sure the department had no chance to ask for extra information and that is exactly what happened. I am so grateful we chose this agency and I would recommend them to ANYONE pursuing ANY type of visa. Thank you so much Esther and Thank you EasiVisa!!

Where to begin...
Very few people go through a smooth, easy visa process; and my partner and I were no exception. We were beginning to lose hope and were borderline facing deportation. We had been messed around by 3 immigration agents prior to finding Carol-Ann at EasiVisa. We were feeling very vulnerable, as truth be told, it is hard to distinguish a good or bad agent before paying a lump sum, by which point it may be too late. This is exactly why I'm providing this exceptional, glistening review of Carol-Ann and her team, to assist my fellow immigrants in their time of need.
Agreed; most immigration agents are expensive, but you get what you pay for. What makes us entitled to expert knowledge, hours of research and study, late nights at work and our problems being lifted from our shoulders; for a cheap price? We were charged $180 consultation fee which was reembursed when we committed to our case being taken on. And let me tell you, it was a complicated case. Carol-Ann immediately looked at it from a completely different perspective than the other agents. To cut a long story short; after a refusal, an appeal, a hearing, multiple exchanges of correspondence, references, police clearances...the visa was finally granted. And you cannot put a price on that!
The result alone is enough to recommend Carol-Ann, but it doesn't stop there. The way she treated us was exceptional. She was empathetic, saw us as actual people rather than a briefcase of money, and made us feel reassured; in a situation that would put anyone's sanity to the test.
WOW, what a long review! And probably only the 3rd I've ever done in my lifetime. In summary, this review has 2 purposes. One, to urge you to chose EasiVisa as your representative, a decision you will not regret. And Two, to give Carol-Ann and her team the recognition they deserve!
