Sorry for asking this question -if there is any existing similar questions in case I did not find when I did search for them- though I did not see any.
Per my CO she would finish my initial assessment within 2 weeks and it is 3rd week already and I do not mind the additional few days. But the thing is - I just contacted my current employer's HR person - I gave her contact as the contact person in my current employer in my EOI- she said she did not receive any such inquiry.
My understanding is that the so called initial assessment (First Tier assessment as said so in Immigration Guide) should include verification of education & employment claims.
Not sure how disciplined the INZ is i.e. they do what they say within promised time frame.
I think I am being too impatient....
