In my case i had to send some more documents so one officer had contacted me. So ever so often i ask about my application and he or she tells at what date are they woring on. Now it is 27 march or before. So yours will be ready around xmass time.

In the mean time you can get all work experience confirmations done and also police certificates from countries of the previous residence (if applicable).

I have started this in February, with all completed documents there on 30. March. I am still waiting for ECA just to begin (according to my estimation it shall begin latest next week).
Yours is 30.5 - 2 months later, so that is why I calculated mid of December. It can even happen, that will drag it until after X-mass holiday.

Because of this extra late delivery I am really annoyed, because I cannot activate EE profile yet. Given the choice now, I would never pick ICAS.

They are still on dates between 28-30 March (I got that info by phone). They are really slow now (within 1 week they did not move at all).

Also it will still take some time, your assessment will be faster than the one for immigration. Count around 3-4 months after they will recieve your documents.

At the moment they are just about to finish files from end of March.

Small clarification here.
1. they count the day the mail has arrived completely (last mail) not the day they make change in the system.
2. What is a bit specific there is that I have asked for report in 2 languages. So they asked me for translation in other language in order to finish it, so they actually counted 30. March as my complete date (when they got translation to 1 language and then i sent out second one).
So you still have almost 2 months to go.

Finally, I got soft copy of the report to my e-mail. So hard copy shall follow within 7 to 10 days.

Good luck to everybody with ICAS. Prepare to wait 8 months to get the report.

From your timeline it looks like you will get through somewhere february or march. They have like 28 weeks now. You can ask by mail about status of your application. That will give you idea about exact qeue date you have. If you can redo the whole thing with wes that shall be much faster.
