You will get the above points provided that they assessed your diploma or degree as DIPLOMA. There are instances kasi na Bachelors Degree ka pero they will only assess your degree as DIPLOMA.

depende din ata to sa school kung san mo nakuha ung degree mo.

lock_code2004

@yhanie_17 @rooroo - i think you are talking about the "Education Qualification Points"

yun ang depende sa assessment kung degree (15pts) or diploma (10pts)

pero yung Australian Study Requirements (5pts) is wether you studied in AU for atleast 2 years kahit na degree, diploma or trade certficate...

then there is another 5 pts kung sa Regional Area ka nag-aral..

rachelle_gan2

@lock_code2004 Sa palagay ung Australian Study requirements at the time of invitation will only be awarded dun sa nakapag aral sa AU. Hindi ung oversea..

Ung sa Oversea studies mo is ung Educational History points.. Dito mo e claim un..

Not sa Australia study requirement..

Marami na coconfuse dyan, dalawa na sa pinoyau member ung pinag withdraw because of wrong claim sa EOI.. 🙁

lock_code2004

@rachelle_gan2 -tama.. kaya nga magkaiba ang points sa bawat category

Educ Assessment (based sa assesment ng assessing authority)
Australian Study requirements (kung nag-aral sa AU)

kaya nga ang advise ko, dapat bago mag-fill-up ng EOI, dapat alam mo na ang estimated pts mo..

at pag nagkaroon ng sobra na hindi mo alam kung saan nanggaling, they should re-check it before submitting...

@lock_code2004 Sir may question lang po ako about professional year, inaapplyan po ba ito, or parang volunteer work lang po?

<blockquote rel="guro_ako">@lock_code2004 Sir may question lang po ako about professional year, inaapplyan po ba ito, or parang volunteer work lang po?</blockquote>

inaapply po yan, parang OJT/Internship.. ang alam ko may bayad din kasi hahanapan ka nila ng work placement... at hindi po yan para sa lahat ng occupations.. parang IT, Accountants at Engineers lang po ang merong ganyang program.. see below:

Professional Year in Australia

Another round of invitation this monday! who are waiting to be invited?

Relieved to know that there will be no invitations for ICT Business and Systems Analysts for this round due to the continuing high numbers of EOIs received for these occupations as I have submitted my ACS skills assessment just recently.

As per DIAC "Invitations for these occupations will be issued on a pro rata basis in each twice monthly invitation round over the remainder of the program year".

Chemical and Materials Engineers

ICT Business and Systems Analysts

Electronics Engineers

Telecommunications Engineering Professionals

Other Engineering Professional

Software and Applications Programmers.

Advantage: Good for people who just submitted their skills assessment.

Disadvantage: Those who already submitted their EOI needs to wait longer.

For your:

Age - 25pts

Educ - 10pts (based on history ng mga member dito, AMA BS CS is assessed as equivalent to AU diploma)

Profession - 15 pts (if all are assessed as relevant)

IELTs - 0 pts (each module should be 7 score to get 10pts)

Total for you = 50pts

For your wife:

if you are going to claim partner's points (5pts), dapat relevant ang work exp nya sa degree nya

I have some question regarding EOI. Hope you could help me answer these:

1.) Employment Start Date

What date do I need to put-in in the employment start date? Since ACS new rule is already in effect wherein the result letter says "The ffg employment after Jan 2005 is consider to equate to work....." While in EOI form, it says employment for the last 10 years. So I dont know if I should put-in Feb 2005 if I follow ACS or Aug 2003 if I follow DIAC's last 10 years.

2.) Date From of Educ History

I only know the month and year of when I started college. And I dont have any records showing the excat date. Ok lang ba na hulaan ko n lang ang exact date, ilagay ko na lang Jun 3, <year> which is a Monday. is it not a big deal sa DIAC?

3.) Are there any family members the client would like to include in a future application?

Confirm ko lang if my answer should be NO. I am single and will not include any members of my family in my application now. Pero when the time comes, siguro after a few years, I might sponsor a family member.

4.) Does the client meet the Australian study requirements for the Skilled Migration points test?

Answer should be NO since I dont have Australia education. Tama po?

Thanks in advance sa sasagot.

@loudandclear

1) Employment Start date-- yung ilalagay nyo po EOI is yung work nyo po for the last 10 years na "closely related" sa nominated skill nyo. In your case po, ang work taht was assessed as related po is only from January 2005? If yes, please follow this date

2) Date From of Educ History -- I also indictaed the nearest Monday in June for my school start year, no issue naman po. pero yung end date po is yung nakalagay po sa Diploma/cert..very important na consistent po

3)Dependents- its up to you po to include the dependents now kahit na di pa sila migrating with you... Factors po to consider are: additonal visa cost plus their medicals (required to go thru po along with your application)

4) Tama po, "No" ang sagot in that case

loudandclear

@GoToWaOz - thanks so much for the reply.

One more question, no need na ba ideclare sa EOI yung mga work experience na hindi related sa nominated occupation? thanks.

It should be declared, pero you will be able to classify it naman as relevant or not - this is what I can remember from last year.
