Anyway, read from a different forum. You are right, ACS implemented this deeming date last May 2013. So the best advise I got is not to over claim for points.
Having 8.5 years of experience as a systems analyst from 2 companies (6years + from company A) and 2 years and counting from Company B, will allow me to claim 10 pts.
In the end, I could claim 65 points with the deeming date on effect. damn! 🙁
