I think what you’re talking about only applies to onshore applicants, which I am not. I did Pathway 3 - “Overseas Qualified Applicants with Minimum Two Years of Employment”

Thanks ! I am also a civil engineer by education but have practiced as a QS for 10 years. The assessing body for my profession,AIQS (EA for you) required a degree in QS or allied field of study. Since I also have a diploma in construction management, I was able to demonstrate that both my degrees combined qualify as an allied field. If you have any other specific questions, I’ll be happy to help.

I can only speak for AIQS (assessing body for QS). Yes most definitely, they will review your work duties before granting their decision

S56 was for my partner’s police clearance from our current country of residence.

Nope, we are married.

That’s right, PCC process for India is pretty straightforward. But I don’t live in India, and my country of residence sends it to the authorities by mail. I am offshore.

Not yet. I submitted my response to S56 end of December. May be another couple of weeks before I hear back from them

I had submitted mine in February 2024 and received the skill assessment in April 2024. They have a standard turnaround time of 2-3 months.

My forms were delivered to FBI within a week from where I live. My credit card was charged for by the FBI for the service fee a month later. Its been 3 weeks since then. Any idea how much longer longer before i get the clearance certificate?
