Just thought I would let you know that my fianc̩ lodged his CDR and it was buttessed within one week of IEAUST receiving it. He has now been accredited at the top level, i.e. Professional Engineer (Civil) ASCO 2124-11.
The key to a successful CDR is providing as much information as possible. My fianc̩ provided more than just the CDR - he provided a really comprehensive CV & brochures of his construction company detailing the buildings he constructed; detailed documentation about the undergraduate engineering courses he took at University; details of his Continuing Professional Education and any other information he thought would buttist IEAUST in their buttessment of his skills. He worked long (many months) and hard on perfecting his written English skills & compiling the CDR & the huge effort he made paid off! (In fact, we both think that the CDR was the hardest part of the whole visa application process! Everything after that is a piece of cake!)
Basically, you need to make it as easy as possible for IEAUST to buttess your application. Don't leave them guessing about any aspect of your profession - spell it out clearly and provide as much back up evidence as possible. The more relevant and detailed information they have - the easier it is for them to buttess you.
My fianc̩ also would have liked to have seen an example of a completed CDR, but it's not possible to obtain one! Only you and you alone are permitted to write the CDR & seeking outside help is strictly forbidden.
Update from Brissy Sender: PlugHello to all those waiting, I was asked to give an update by those still in the process of getting their visas, so here goes. We have...
Anyhow, good luck - I am sure that if you put in the effort, you will achieve a positive result!
