Hi @jinigirl! Saw in your signature "06.10.2022 - sent review request to ACS to consider bachelor's degree" May I know the reason behind this po?

Hello po, yung background ko po is licensed ECE from section 2 school, nag apply under Software Engineer ANZSCO code. Initially, ang binigay sakin ni ACS is diploma lang with 6 years deduction sa work exp. Pero meron dito sa forum na mga licensed ECE din (kahit expired na), na nakakuha ng bachelors degree under software engineer job code. Nung nagpareview ako, sinubmit ko lang yung board certificate from PRC kaya ayun, naconsider na din syang bachelors with 4 years exp deduction 🙂

Hello. My wife took BS Management Information Systems in college and was a software engineer for 4yrs. She has a different/unrelated job now.

May chance kaya na maging positive yung assessment nya so that we can claim 10pts for partner skills?

If ever 4 years ideduct, suitable pa ba yon? Or dapat at least 2 years experience po after deduction?

Thank you.

Hello po, may I ask what section po school ng wife niyo and from her TOR may mga programming related subjects din po ba? If yes po may chance po na maging positive iyong skill assessment for software engineer, (might minus 2 years only) since BS. IS graduate din po ako and na-assess ni ACS na bachelors.

Pano po pag section 2 pero may ICT related subjects sa TOR? pwede po kaya ma grant na bachelors yun?

AFAIK, the only way na ma grant ng bachelors degree from section 2 / 3 school is kung may PRC license

Hi @jinigirl did you pay the 395 AUD review fee or did you just inquire through e-mail and they updated the assessment result?
Kasi I attached my ECE PRC board certificate naman from the start. I'm from section 2 school applying for computer network engineer pero assessed as associate lang kaya 6 yrs na-deduct. I sent them an e-mail inquiring muna and haven't paid the review fee.

Hello po, would like to know your thoughts po and suggestions, graduate po ako ng Bachelors degree in Computer Science from Section 1 school dito sa PH, mag tatry po sana ako magpa Skills Assessment, pwede ko na po ba sya ifile kahit mag 4 years experience pa lang po ako by Otober 2023. OR need ko pa po antayin mag October para 2 yrs yung macredit sa skilled employment tapos less 2 years na kinukuha ni ACS. Salamat po in advance.
No need to wait. Get things started now. The years of experience will accumulate over time. You can still claim work experience even if it wasn’t assessed. As long as you’re in the same occupation since the last employment episode that’ was assessed. Bachelor degree from section 1 with major Ict would mean ACS will deduct 2 years

Just a note lang din re bank statements, I tried it before pero due to privacy laws the bank statement will not show the company name in salary credit transactions. Which means we cannot use it as payment evidence. Though that was 2021.

You can also opt to use SSS (Employment History, Contributions) and PAG IBIG contributions as they clearly mentioned the company named there. Though counted as one payment evidence lang ito.

You can try sa FOI website for ITR pero most people I know were not successful dito as BIR does not keep physical records for long.

I was able to request payslips with one of my previous employers, maybe still try to request hoping they have digital records saved.

Strict sa guidelines ang ACS so make sure you follow the instructions carefully and check your document thoroughly. Good luck!

What are the key requirements for the Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491)?

Kaya yan! Start early lang and you really need to allot time for it. Follow throughIf you can't get BS or ITRs anymore, meron ditong nagsubmit ng Promotion Letter indicated yung salary raise amount and Company Insurance letter pati HMO cards.

thank you. kaya medyo alanganin din ako sa bank statements eh. yung first company ko lang yung kulang kulang ako sa evidence kasi di ko talaga natago. meron ako nung mga gitna na dates pero wala yung start and end of employment.

opo, ok na yung govt contris. dun lang talaga sa ITR/payslip problema.

thank you ha. appreciate the tips po. <3

Has anyone tried putting annotations and comments sa PDF nila? Like sa first page naka comment anung years ng ITR nalagay and naka highlight yung years.

Just to make it clear and easier for the assessor to find the important and relevant details.

I did! 😅 Para di na siya mahirapan.

hi. nag change na po kasi name si previous company, pero nung nanghingi ako ng name change letter hindi daw sila makakapag provide. ano po pwede kong gawin?

I would suggest to make a Stat Dec. IF the change name was due to merger/acquisition, then baka may press release sila -- capture mo nalang yun as supporting docs? I got a change in company name case too, fortunately I kept the letter from XX years ago.

Hi po, baka makatulong ulit sa ibang nagproprocess at naghihintay ng ACS results.

Got my positive assessment today after 93 days of waiting. Nagbasa and nagtanong din ako sa ilan dito and mukhang ang trend is more or less 90 days bago makuha yung results. Patience is a virtue. Hintay hintay lang talaga and dasal <3 Eto pala yung additional details:

Date of submission: April 3, 2023

Date of results: July 6, 2023

Occupation: QA Engineer

ANZSCO Code: 261313 (Software Engineer)

Tried my luck lang if macoconsider as SE yung occupation ko since same lang naman ang description nila sa ACS. Depende lang talaga sa sinubmit mong job description kung maaacknowledge. I think kung QA ka, plus points if may automation experience (just my opinion) and nabasa ko rin na may mga nagtry magpaassess ng SE kahit QA sila. Thank God suitable naman. <3 Also, reiterate ko lang yung nabanggit previously dito sa thread na nagbibigay si ACN ng COE with job description. Make sure niyo lang na iindicate sa request na kailangan ni ACS ng COE with job description in order for them to assess your skills and provide an approved list of roles from your previous manager/senior. In my case, nagbigay talaga ko ng steps for them to access the checklist of ACS as proof na need ko talaga yun. Ayun, thank you ulit sa forum na to, sobrang helpful niyong lahat. 🙂

Sharing the good vibes! I received the good news this week! Got assessed as suitable for migration under ANZSCO 262111 Database Administrator and having my degree as comparable to an AQF Bachelors Degree Major in computing. It took 15 weeks total from March 21, 2023. Just wanted to thank @RheaMARN1171933 and her team who handled my case. Very professional and talagang decision-ready na dapat lahat bago isubmit kay ACS. Worth it yung paghihintay! Good luck sa mga mag apply pa lng at sa mga naghihintay pa ng results 🙏

For salary credit transactions po sa bank ask for a credit memo instead of a bank statement. Yun po yung ginamit ko and positive naman yung results. Included po yung name nung employer dun. In my case, yung credit memo po for the current month nakuha ko agad pagkarequest ko. Pero yung transaction from 4 years ago nagrequest pa sila main branch ng copies. Took around a week bago po nakuha.

P50 per page po if I remember correctly. And 2 pages po each credit memo dun sa request ko.

For employment reference, followed ACS guidelines lng din. Importante yung mga format like dates na naka DD/MM/YYYY at signed in company letterhead. Sakin din nanggaling yung description of duties performed tapos pinapirma ko sa managers/hr ng previous company ko. Then bukod sa position title, nilagay ko pa specifically yung role ko. For payment evidence naman naproduce ko per company is 1 month payslip commencement and end, BIR 2316 commencement year and end year, screenshot of SSS contributions showing company names. Swerte lng din at naitabi ko lahat ng BIR 2316 ko from 2011.

casssie

thank you po sa tips @jbt18 @Complex !

hi everyone, yung sss coverage history ko hindi sunod sunod yung reporting date, tapos wala pang 2023. ok lang kaya to? o paayos ko sa sss o employer?
