ACS refusal overturned successfully!

The client had a Chinese qualification and multiple periods of work experience in China. Because the former employer had changed names, salary evidence was insufficient and social insurance records could not be provided in full, ACS refused the application without requesting further documents. After our team carefully analysed the refusal letter, fully communicated with the client and provided a detailed submission letter to align the details and evidence with the assessment requirements, the skills assessment was finally approved just over a month later.
