"If you are unable to obtain an employment reference on a company letterhead from your employer, a third party official Statutory Declaration written by work colleague may be considered. "
Is there anyone here experienced that their HR does not want to provide detail job description but the manager is willing to give the job description, sign with the company letter head. Will this possible? Two letter from one company. One letter from the former manager enumerating detail job description and one letter from HR that contains all the rest of information required by ACS.

I have 6.5 years of experience but ACS deducted 4 years from it. Nag fillup ako ng EOI as draft and nilagay ko yung 6.5 yrs of exp ko. So nabigyan ako ng 70pts total. Pero since nabawasan nga ng ACS ng 4 yrs, then 2.5 yrs lang credited exp ko. 60pts pa din naman.
1. Kailangan ko ba ilagay ang 6.5yr na exp ko or dapat 2.5yrs lang?
2. My nominated occup is still suspended in NSW. Is it a good idea to submit the EOI or wait ko na mag open muna?
Thanks in advance.

"If you do not meet NSW selection eligibility criteria, such as not having an occupation on the NSW Skilled Occupation List, your EOI will not be able to be considered for selection for the current Feb-June 2015 selection intake. However, it will remain in SkillSelect and can be considered for future intakes if your occupation is put back onto the list."
What do you think? submit EOI na or wait for the occup to open? 2 yrs valid naman po ang EOI dba? thanks
