Si hubby po main applicant (261311) non-ICT Bachelo'rs degree grad cya in which ung school nya falls under Section 2.
ACS assessment done and has a positive outcome, 8yrs plus skilled employment after 6 yrs. deduction.

2. In case 10 pts. lang po, we'll fall short na of 5 pts. under visa 190, so can we proceed to apply for visa 489?
3. Btw po, pede ba magapply ng sabay for VIC SS visa 190 and visa 489?
Maraming salamat po in advance! God bless sa ating lahat!

Eto ung naging reply nila:
"Your skills have been assessed to be suitable for migration under 261311 ( Analyst Programmer) of the ANZSCO Code.
The following employment after June 2006 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately skilled level and relevant to 261311 ( Analyst Programmer) of the ANZSCO Code.
Dates: 06/00- 01/08 ( 7yrs 7mths)
Position: ( Job 1)
Employer -----
Country: Sg
Dates: 01/08-01/15 (7yrs 0 mths)
Position: ( Job 2)
Employer: -----
Country: Sg
Then what follows po ay ung parang disclaimer na nila and validity period.
Worried lang po kc ako pag 15 pts. ung i.claim namin kc baka magka.issue in the future
( worst if visa application stage na and we'll be refused after payment pa)
Kung ma.confirm ko na 10 pts. lang talaga pede mai.claim, might as well consider Visa 489 or re-take ng PTE-A
Salamat po ...

Buti na lang nagpasa na ako nung November 9, muntik ko pa this week ipasa, buti na lang!!! But I hope it's good news for those who just made it to the cut-off. Worry ko kasi baka formality lang na kasama kami but in reality, they will just reject. Pero God knows what's best for everyone. In His time, all good things will happen...

May isa pa pala ako tanong, nung nag-apply kasi ako sa Victoria sponsorship, may tanong dun kung saang area ng Victoria ako mag-stay, metropolitan or regional...so pinili ko metropolitan. Sa EOI meron din palang tanong na "Would the client be prepared to live outside an Australian capital city?" ano ba dpat na isasagot dito na hindi magko-contradict dun sa Vic SS application ko? TIA
