Hi po, I'm currently working as an IT Security Specialist for 5 years na po. And my university falls under Section 2. Mga ilang years po kaya madededuct sa exp ko?
There is no exact answer to your situation. You're the only one who could self-assess based on the ACS guidelines and your transcript.
Deduction for bachelor is 2-4 and associate is 4-6 may major minor thingy pa, just check ACS guidelines.
Me and my husband were both from section 2 schools but different uni. I got assessed as bachelor and he got an associate's degree. Factors that may affect are the course, subjects/curriculum, and probably grades (I read it somewhere but cannot find anymore).
If you have a spare budget, willing to irisk, probably you can file an ACS now.
If not, it might be safer to wait an additional year so you could have 6 years of solid exp. While waiting, familiarize yourself with the process. Start collecting CoE, tax cert, payment evidences, etc. before you knew it isang taon na pala lumipas pag aasikaso palang ng documents.
Better yet, minimize your risk by talking to an immigration lawyer.
