Hi po 🙂 for the point-tested for 189, we want to claim 10pts po sana pero we got confused po, according to the site: same occupation list daw po kami ng Husband ko dapat, does that mean I also need to be a programmer? Kasi po programmer sha and me naman is support but same skill namin is nasa ANZCO list po. Hope someone can clarify this po. Thank you. 💚

Check here: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skill-occupation-list

Filter the full list to show 189 only. Then search for each of your code, dapat same kayo ng indicated sa List column.

Hello po, I've already asked my question before but I've been thinking po sa sagot dito before. Ok, to give po a short history 2019 po nagsubmit na ako ng application for assessment. Ang pinili ko na ANZSCO Code is 261212 (Web Developer). Fortunately po, I got a positive assessment. Since 2019 po, I've been taking PTE exams din but until now di ko pa rin makuha un Superior. Kaya di makapag-lodge for EOI. My assessment po will expire na this May 2021 and will go for a renewal.

Ngayon po, since may pandemic. My chosen role/job/ANZSCO Code is not in the Prio List of Australia. So I was thinking of applying or selecting a new ANZSCO Code like Developer Programmer(261312) in case makuha ko na un Superior this April and mag-open na ang mga borders, pwede na po ako maglodge ng EOI. Pwede kaya po yun ganun(Palit ng ANZSCO Code)?

BTW, yung duties and responsibilities ng 2 na mention ko po na job title is pasok po sa skills ko.

I've already relayed my concern sa Agent ko po. Ang sabi nila, better if I still choose 261212 (Web Developer) kasi may record na sa ACS. Pero ang worry ko lang po is baka matagalan pa bago ibalik sa open jobs un 261212. So gusto ko po sana huminge ng 2nd opinion(bukod dun sa sinabi ng Agent ko) para at least po mas maraming input po yung makuha ko. Hindi naman po sa wala ako tiwala sa agent ko, gusto ko lang po makakuha ng suggestions dun sa mga naka-experience na or may similar scenarios na pinagdaanan. Thank you po.

I am not sure sa job description ng Web Dev at ng Developer Programmer but in my case before my first assessment was Software Tester and medyo limited kasi yung state na nag sponsor so I checked other occupation and it seems Software Engineer e halos same ng job description so I decided to have another assessment for SE and it came out positive as well and same docs ang mga sinend ko sa ACS so I think wala naman magiging problem as long as you read through the JD at alam mong pasok ka then okay lang..

Agreed. Tingin ko ok lang rin magpa assess ka sa ibang code, walang kaso sa nauna mong assessment BUT make sure na pasok sa code specs yung job descriptions na ipapasa mo for assessment. Otherwise, it's just a waste of money.

As an agent myself, I would advice the same as what your agent mentioned because of the same reason as what your agent mentioned. It’s part of our professional responsibility to make you aware of such but at the end of the day, you make the decision and at your own risk. All the best.

Hello, pede po ba ang BIR 2307 as payment evidence? Thank you

Hi good day!

Question lang po. I applied for assessment sa ACS for Software Engineer but they said hindi daw ako suitable and suggested a new ANZCODE w/c is Network Admin. It turns to have a positive result naman po. What's the chance if getting an invite on this ANZ po? Thanks

Hi. I'm a silent reader here. Would just like to ask if anyone has any advise on whether to ask for review or appeal.

I had a positive ACS assessment result back in 2018 but it has expired in 2020. Filed for another assessment in March and the result is unfortunately not suitable for migration. Aside from that, my education has been assessed as comparable only to Associate Degree while on my first assessment, it was comparable to a Bachelor's Degree. My school is considered Section 2 based on this list https://pinoyau.info/plugin/page/accredited-schools

Main concerns:

The work experience not assessable due to insufficient funds. For years 2011-2013, I don't have any copy of 2011 payslips but I have provided copy of my 2012 to 2015 payslips though the 2012 to 2013 payslips were not from start and end of year as what ACS is asking for (I did not keep a copy and couldn't request for copies anymore). In addition to these, I also provided copy of ITRs, SSS and pag-ibig payment contributions.
My 3rd work experience, I don't know why they only counted 11/16 to 12/20 for my tenure when that is still where I work. When I applied for the assessment, I made sure to choose the current date (March 5) as my end date which would have meant that I still work for the company. I am not sure if the date on my work reference would have had any impact, but I requested for it back in December when I was preparing all the documents for the assessment.
My education qualification which went down to Associate Degree from Bachelor's degree. I have no idea why this would happen or what are the factors they considered this time.

With the details mentioned above, would it be worth it to ask for a review instead of an appeal? I understand that to appeal would mean I am challenging the result and I have to provide an explanation as to why I don't agree with the negative result and I cannot provide additional documents, so I see this as very risky.

Thank you in advance to those who would answer this.

ACS updated their new document requirements last year so if you have used just the documents you used in the initial assessment they were most likely insufficient. Check the guideline
You need to provide the most updated letter as they will use the date on the letter. However, you may be able to still claim up to March on EOI but just make sure you provide a letter covering employment until March as supporting document for your visa application
All assessing authorities refer to the Country Education Profile in determining the qualification level of the applicant. If the institution is under section 2 then it will be recognised as Associate degree.

It’s most likely you’ll just need a review and submit more supporting documents for the first employment. You might as well provide an updated letter for your last employment. This needs to be done within 60 days from the date on the outcome letter. All the best

Hi. Thank you for answering.

Yes, I made sure all my documents met their new guidelines. I requested new work reference letters from my first and 2nd companies to state that I was a full-time employee and worked 40 hours per week. If the missing payslips were the only issue (1st entry), I'm afraid I cannot get a copy of those anymore. I was really hoping the SSS and HDMF contributions would help as payment evidence.

I also emailed ACS regarding my concerns. Hoping they would provide some clarity.

If you don't mind me asking, do you think it wise to have the review now or just wait and have another assessment when they ease up on the restrictions?

Their requirements won’t have anything to do with immigration restrictions. You will just be wasting time when your aim should be to get in the EOI queue ASAP. Wait for ACS response and apply for review within 60 days. Good luck

Hi! May changes po ba sa ACS sills assessment due to Covid? Like processing time? Acceptance of applications? I checked po the website, wala naman nakalagay specifically.

rs1fan27

Hello po ask lang po ako, nag lodge po ako EOI for visa 190 since 2019 but no ITA and pandemic, so recently I applied EOI for 491, kaso ma expire na assessment ko this september. I got my ACS assessment last 2019 positive results naman. I was wondering if pwede ba mag update additional experience as a freelancer sa next assessment if ever? Since, I was a freelancer since 2019 or should I declare self employed? I'm a web developer po pala. If may ideas kayo about this situation. Thank you.

When I applied for the assessment, I made sure to choose the current date (March 5) as my end date which would have meant that I still work for the company. I am not sure if the date on my work reference would have had any impact, but I requested for it back in December when I was preparing all the documents for the assessment.

My education qualification which went down to Associate Degree from Bachelor's degree. I have no idea why this would happen or what are the factors they considered this time.

With the details mentioned above, would it be worth it to ask for a review instead of an appeal? I understand that to appeal would mean I am challenging the result and I have to provide an explanation as to why I don't agree with the negative result and I cannot provide additional documents, so I see this as very risky.

Thank you in advance to those who would answer this.

ACS updated their new document requirements last year so if you have used just the documents you used in the initial assessment they were most likely insufficient. Check the guideline

You need to provide the most updated letter as they will use the date on the letter. However, you may be able to still claim up to March on EOI but just make sure you provide a letter covering employment until March as supporting document for your visa application

All assessing authorities refer to the Country Education Profile in determining the qualification level of the applicant. If the institution is under section 2 then it will be recognised as Associate degree.

It’s most likely you’ll just need a review and submit more supporting documents for the first employment. You might as well provide an updated letter for your last employment. This needs to be done within 60 days from the date on the outcome letter. All the best

Hi. Thank you for answering.

Yes, I made sure all my documents met their new guidelines. I requested new work reference letters from my first and 2nd companies to state that I was a full-time employee and worked 40 hours per week. If the missing payslips were the only issue (1st entry), I'm afraid I cannot get a copy of those anymore. I was really hoping the SSS and HDMF contributions would help as payment evidence.

I also emailed ACS regarding my concerns. Hoping they would provide some clarity.

If you don't mind me asking, do you think it wise to have the review now or just wait and have another assessment when they ease up on the restrictions?
Their requirements won’t have anything to do with immigration restrictions. You will just be wasting time when your aim should be to get in the EOI queue ASAP. Wait for ACS response accordingly and apply for review within 60 days.

Hello po ask lang po ako, nag lodge po ako EOI for visa 190 since 2019 but no ITA and pandemic, so recently I applied EOI for 491, kaso ma expire na assessment ko this september. I got my ACS assessment last 2019 positive results naman. I was wondering if pwede ba mag update additional experience as a freelancer sa next assessment if ever? Since, I was a freelancer since 2019 or should I declare self employed? I'm a web developer po pala. If may ideas kayo about this situation. Thank you.

Yes you could. As long as you’re able to provide support documents. Just be mindful that the new document requirements for self employment aren’t as straightforward as employment documents. It can get confusing. Good luck!

Hello po. May BS IT degree ako sa isang section 1 university and may over 9 years app developer experience pero iba ibang companies (6 past employers) sila so medyo magiging mahirap na ang requirements gathering. Need your help po and advise para dun sa same scenario as me.

Based sa mga requirements ng ACS skills assessment, marami ako nakitang issues sa case ko.

Yung iba sa mga past employers ko, wala ako copy ng ITRs, payslips. Ang meron lang ako ay standard COE lang na binigay nila. Ano po ang alternative documents na pwede?
Yung isang past employer ko, bankrupt sila dati so di na sila existing ngayon, baka di ko na sila mahingan ng documents pero may contact pa ako sa supervisor ko don. Anong documents pwede hingin?
Yuns isang past employer ko, may missed payments sila sa SSS ko for 3 months out of 23 months ko sa kanila kahit na binawas nila sa payslip ko yon. May magiging impact ba ito?
Yung current employer ko, nagstart ako sa kanila last march 2020 until now. Kaso contractual ako sa kanila from march to dec 2020 kaya wala kami govt contributions non. pero may 2307 tax certificates kami for 2020. Pwede kaya yon, akahit 2307 lang and COE?
Yung isa sa past employer ko is Accenture. Complete document sila pero COE nila is standard lang, ayaw nila magbigay ng COE with job description for privacy and security reasons pero pwede sila magbigay ng certificate of explanation. May experience na kayo dito?

Patulong po. Sorry dami questions kasi paiba iba employers ko since 2011.

Hello po, yung mga documents na ipapasa po ba sa ACS, like payment evidences, dapat naka notarized sya? Or pede na yung sinend nila sakin thru email na pdf file? Like for example yung Bank Statements with company letterhead na sinend sakin ng bank thru email, and ung screenshot ng SSS into 1 pdf file, pede na po ba yun?
