@roneggy ACS assessment lang ba? Pwede naman.

Thanks @rich88. Pero kapag waiting na for visa 189 / 190 bawal na? Thanks ulit!

rich88 · December 2016

@roneggy I'm not sure. Pwede naman siguro.

Nagpasa na ako sa ACS for Assessment last Friday. i got an email from them requesting for more documents. Mali pala na yung reference letter ko is sa last page lang may CTC (Sworn before) need daw pala all pages may CTC stamp. I'm currently on Stage3, ipapa-CTC ko uli yung reference letters ko, hoping for a positive result.

Meron ba dito na section3 yung school pero AQB bachelor degree na ICT Major ang assessment?

freakazaa · December 2016

@mmuela Depende siguro sa nag-rereview ng documents. Yung sakin, yung last page lang may tatak and pirma, yung other pages may watermark lang na certified true copy.

mmuela · December 2016

@freakazaa nagpa-CTC na lang uli ako at lahat ng pages may stamp and signature para sure.

Hi guys, newbie here I just submitted my docs for assessment yesterday. Ano po ba ang average waiting time for the results from ACS recently? Sa ACS site they say atleast 12 weeks pero I can see from the thread here it can be alot earlier tama po ba? As of now stage4 na ang status ng application ko.

mmuela · December 2016

@Superched based sa mga feedback, some takes only 2-3 weeks. Depende din siguro sa assessor at kung need ng thorough investigation pa based on the documents submitted.

Hello Guys,

Question naman, base sa pagkakaintindi ko kasi, binawasan yung eligible work experience ko.

Ang ibig sabihin ba nitong "The following employment after March 2015 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately skilled level and relevant to 261313 (Software Engineer) of the ANZSCO Code. "

1. Hindi counted yung work experience ko prior March 2015?
2. If computed, it will be less than three years, ibig sabihin po ba wala akong points for this?
3. Pwede po bang i-appeal to para mainclude yung ibang employment history ko? Ano po ang chances?

Thanks!

@makimaki
1. yup, you are correct.
2. you are also correct.
3. ACS has several factors. Ano assessment sa education mo? ilang years total experience mo?
a. if you are assessed as Bachelors with major in ICT, they will deduct 2 years
b. if Diploma with majot in ICT, they will deduct 5.

If gusto mo i-appeal yung exp mo na sinubmit mo tlga. no chance. If mag appeal ka, and may exp ka na di sinama sa assessment mo, it depends, kung related.

@Heprex

BSIT ako 4years, nakuha ko is AQF Diploma with a major in computing
total experience by the time of submission is 6.8 years.

Wala na ba ibang paraan para makakuha ng points? ang laki naman ng deduction nila, baka di ako umabot if proficient lang ako sa PTE.

Lahat naman ng experience, naisama ko, so mukang malabo talaga ang appeal if ang standard talaga nila is mag deduct ;(

Heprex · December 2016

@makimaki ano school mo? malaking factor din yung section ng school mo. Start with this. Kung section 3 school mo, it is most likely to get AQF Diploma, unless 5 year course mo. If section 1 or 2, may chance ka i appeal yan to get bachelors.

It is really mandatory to take English language. Ito lang ata ang most flexible way to increase yung points, magastos lang, pero it is for your own benefit din naman. Magiging immigrant tayo sa isang foreign country na English ang primary language, so it's better to prepare ourselves. Especially for job interviews.

hida_berserker · December 2016

Hi all, newbie here, i'm just gathering the ACS docs. I backread the this thread but I am still not sure, so might as well ask. Hope you understand.

1. Do I need to have the English translated Transcript of Records notarized as well even if it's the actual copy?

2. Looks like the CoE with job and responsibilities also need notarization/CTC - I'll have this notarized - all pages.

3. Is there an official place to notarize my docs in Makati City? Or any notarization will be accepted like in LBC ?

4. I assume these Docs don't need a notarization as long as it's certified true copy ?
- Birth certificate (from NSO) or passport
- Degree Diploma / Certificate

I hope those are all the required documents.

Thanks
Francis

@Heprex

not familiar with sections ng schools, saan ba ito nakikita? FEU-EAC ako dati

As I see it, I only have 2 options:

1. I-appeal para maging Bachelor's(deducted two years will be added to work exp, then points with Bachelor's, instead of diploma)
2. I-ace ang PTE for superior english.

tama ba?

Heprex · December 2016

@makimaki meron akong nabasa dito about FEU-EAC

http://pinoyau.info/discussion/36/australian-computer-society-skills-application/p368

Go for both options if money is not an issue.

makimaki · December 2016

@Heprex

Thanks sa info, mukang mahihirapan ako nito.

rich88 · December 2016

@makimaki FEU-EAC is under section 3. AQF Diploma talaga ang assessment pag section 3 and 5 years minimum deduction sa work experience. Bawi ka na lang sa english test.

rich88 · December 2016

@hida_berserker

1. If diploma and tor are already in English, then no need to have them translated.
2. Yes, have them CTCed as well.
3. Any authorized notary public will suffice.
4. Yes. notarized copy and CTC are the same.

hida_berserker · December 2016

@rich88 Thanks a lot for the quick reply and assisting. Great the actual TOR won't need notarization then . I see you just got recently granted with a visa 190. I am targetting your achievement as well . Targetting South AU. Are you going to South AU as well? Do you have a Migration Agent you can recommend? Many thanks in advance.

rich88 · December 2016

@hida_berserker TOR needs to be CTCed. Nasa ACS document checklist yun na all documents should be CTCed/notraized. I'm not going to South AU, and I didn't engage a migration agent. Everything is DIY.

hida_berserker · December 2016

@rich88 thanks so, it means even the birth cert from NSO (since it's not notarized) will still have to be notarized. Got it.

makimaki · December 2016

@rich88
uubra kaya kung magsubmit ako ng appeal para palitan ang diploma/transcript from FEU-EAC to FEU- institute of tech?(current name)

Since FEU is section 2, possible kaya yun?

Thanks!

rich88 · December 2016

@hida_berserker birth certificate is not required in ACS. I just submitted a notarized copy of my passport.

@makimaki not sure. Iba ang FEU-Main sa FEU-EAC. If ok lang sayo mag spend ng 395 for re-appeal at hindi issue ang money, go for it.

pindiola · December 2016

hello everyone meron ba ditong nakapag bs-cs 4 years pero tri-sem and result eh aqf diploma? ask ko lang kung nag appeal kayo at anong pinasa nyo docs? salamat!

@Heprex tanong ko lang sakin kasi ang ACS result ko is

AQF Diploma with a major in computing tapos total years of experience sa result eh 6 years and 8 months. yung sabi mo na deduction na 5 years kapag AQF diploma meaning babawasan nila yung experience ko ng 5 years??

Heprex · December 2016

@pindiola check mo yung :

The following employment after Month Year is considered to equate to work at an appropriately skilled
level and relevant to (nominated occupation).

Dyan mag count ng start ng experience. Yan ang equate skilled employment sa kanila.

pindiola · December 2016

@Heprex salamat sa reply bro. kasi 2011 pa ang experience ko. eh nakaagay april 2015 yung equate sa result ko so meaning ba april 2015 to current date lang years of exp ko?

Heprex · December 2016

@pindiola kung after April 2015 yan, May 2015 onwards.

ingat sa mga mistake na ganyan.

pindiola · December 2016

@Heprex ang saklap naman pala kung ganun so meaning mali yung anzcode ko? pag ganito ba? pwde i appeal sa ibang anzcode to?

jaceejoef · December 2016

question po.

kakakuha ko lang ng COE sa current work ko. binigay ko ang Description of Employment Duties ng Software Engineer then I instruct them to align or at least use keywords from it pero ang ginawa kinopya lahat ng nakalagay dun (as in bullet per bullet, word per word) at yun ang nilagay sa job description ko.

magkakaproblema ba yun?

Heprex · December 2016

@pindiola It depends sa skill mo now. ano nominated skill mo? at yung actual work mo?
