@deaddisco you just have to count the time you've worked for the client same way as if you were employed. Information about this should be on the guideline. All the best.

deaddisco

@RheaMARN1171933 Awesome! Thank you Will do more research, wala kasi ako nabasa about it dun sa guidelines regarding sa freelancing or i might have missed it for sure.

I'm just scared kasi hindi ako nagbayad ng tax or anything when I did the freelance projects. Even my 2 years and 7 months work na I did in Singapore, it was remote that means I was working for a Singaporean company but I was based in Manila. Di naman ako magkakaproblema dun right?

Hi po. Question lang po... Ano po ibig sabihin ng mga mababasa kong deduction ng 2 years etc? Ano pong relation nun sa number of years work experience?

Hunter_08

@anghela148 kapag nagpa assess ka sa ACS ang minimum deduction nila sa work experience to be eligible for migration is 2 yrs. for example you have 5yrs work exp and na assessed yung education mo as equivalent to bachelor's degree you will be deducted 2yrs of your work exp so ang pwede mo na lang e claim na points sa work ex is 3yrs. and if na assessed ka as diploma and major in computing mostly ang deduction is 5yrs work exp so wala kang pwedeng e claim na point sa work exp.

anghela148

@Hunter_08 Thank you for that info. I guess zero working experience po makukuha ko. Kasi I’m a graduate of BS Computer Engineering here in PH with 2 years working experience as software developer/programmer. Saan po ba makikita yng pointing system and yung required na points? Nakita ko po yung target occupation ko sa new 2017-2018 Medium and Long Term Strategic Skill List (MLTSSL). Item 115 - Developer Programmer with ANZSCO code 261312. Do you think po ba mas better chance kapag nag student visa nalang ako katulad ng sinasabi ng ninong ko?

Hunter_08

@anghela148 if you only have 2yrs work experience that's a risk kasi hindi mo sure kung ma aassess ka as bachelor's degree dipende kasi din sa section ng school mo and grades. na compute mo na ba yung magiging points mo if ever? like age/education/work exp/english proficiency/SS? if aabot ka ng more than 70points I think go for it pwede ka mag 189/190/489 visa pero kung less than magiging points mo much better na mag gain ka muna na work experience.

Regarding sa student visa possible naman but its very expensive at wala din naman assurance in the future na makakakuha ka ng PR visa so still risky pa din but still up to you kung gusto mo tong path na to.

anghela148

@Hunter_08 Saan po ba maccompute yung points?

Hunter_08

@anghela148 you can compute your own points manually or search in google.. sa mga binigay kong criteria above you can roughly compute kung ilan maabot mong points.

May paraan ba para gumawa ng new account sa ACS site? Based sa old posts pwede daw pero kelangan i-edit lahat ng personal details. Checked it, pero parang hindi na pwede i-edit yung lahat ng details ngayon. Tama ba?

guenb

@anghela148 actually my chance ka pa naman maging suitable with the 2 years working experience, pero kung willing ka lang naman e risk yung 500$ mo na fee to check. Pareho kasi sakin I'm ComEng din pero binawas sakin 4years, kasi assessment ko naman under ICT BA. Di lang ako sure with software/developer if 2 years lang deduction dun.

just.anotherguy

Share ko lang, i got my assessment result today and it was positive

-UST BS-IT
-AQF Bachelor Degree with a Major in computing
-Work experience sent for assessment was June2014 - present (March 16,2018 is the date of lodgment)
-Deducted 2yrs, June2016 onwards lang ang counted as work expi.

Wala ako macclaim na points for work, pero ok lang. Bawiin ko n lng sa PTE and mag 190 or 489 na lng ako Yung sa website ng ACS sabi nila 10-12 weeks waiting time, pero nagulat ako kasi yung sakin 6weeks lang. I guess hindi masyadong strikto yung 10-12weeks nila..hehe

Hunter_08

@just.anotherguy congrats.

RheaMARN1171933

@just.anotherguy congrats! Actually from our experience lodging skills assessment applications with ACS, 6-8 weeks and average turnaround nila.

Xynned

hello po, sa wakas nakapag pa CTC narin ako, ready for submission na sa ACS.
Pwd po ba magrequest ng assessment sa qualifications ko.

Graduate ng BSIT from a Section 1 university.
6years 8months work experience in IT (Mostly doing IT support and tech assistance)

2yrs- IT Specialist
2yrs 2mths - Engineer
2yrs 6mths - IT Analyst

Planning po to take ICT business Analyst or Systems Analyst para po 189 visa. Mas close ung exp ko sa ICT Support Engineer or ICT Support and Test Engineers which is for 190 visa lng eligible.

Any suggestion po? OK lang kaya na itry ko for systems or business analyst? And if tingin nio po ba mag mi-minus sila sa exp ko in case?

Hunter_08

@Xynned standard po na mag dededuct sila ng work experience mo.. minimum po ng deduction is 2yrs.

I suggest kung mas related sayo yung ICT support engineer yung ang ipa assess mo kasi if ever na mag business analyst ka or systems analyst then hindi naman swak sa exp mo hindi din magiging positive ang result at isususggest din sayo na e assess nila dun sa mas swak sa occupation at dagdag bayad ulit yun.

If I were you okay lang ang 190 kasi PR visa din naman yun at kung yung nag ooffer naman sayo na state is gusto mo din edi okay lang.. pero just in case hindi yun ang gusto mong state I think okay lang kasi 2yrs lang naman yung obligation mo then you can transfer sa any state na ang importante makapasok na ng au kasi mabilis magbago ang ng rules and regulations nila when it comes sa pag migrate kaya better act fast.

JDC123

Hello po sa lahat.

Currently andito ako sa Australia under 457 visa, ngayon hindi ako massponsoran ng employer ko para maging PR so I have to do it by myself. Any idea po kung anong pwedeng maging result ng assessment ko sa ACS?

Computer Engineering graduate - section 3
More than 10yrs of IT experience

Gaya ni Xynned, ICT Support Engineer ang mas close sa exp ko pero since may contract pa ako, I think malabo pa ang 190 visa sa akin, so ICT Business Analyst ang plano kong applyan para pasok sa 189 visa.

Sa tingin nyo, tama ba ang diskarte ko? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you.

RheaMARN1171933

@JDC123 how long have you been working in Australia for?

JDC123

@RheaMARN1171933 More than 2 years na po

RheaMARN1171933

@JDC123 I hope you know that you can claim 5 points for local experience.

JDC123

@RheaMARN1171933 Yes po. I am just hoping na ma assess as bachelor degree at 2 years lang ang mabawas sa exp para mataas na points ang maclaim ko

RheaMARN1171933

@JDC123 your qualification must come from an institution under section 1 if section 2, your qualification must meet certain criteria to be recognised as equivalent to an AQF bachelor degree otherwise more years from work experience will be deducted. Good luck

JDC123

@RheaMARN1171933 Maraming salamat po

@just.anotherguy hi po. Just saw your post. Graduate din po ako ng ust. BS IS naman batch 2016 Ask ko lang po sana if may chance na 2yrs lang din madededuct sakin kasi mag2yrs na ako sa work this june and balak ko mag apply after. Currently working pala as a DBA. Thank you in advance!

Hunter_08

@marise32 malaki chance na 2yrs la na deduct sayo kasi section 1 ang UST. na compute mo na ba magiging points mo kung enough na pa ma invite ka? kasi sobrang tight ng competition ngayon...

marise32

@Hunter_08 hi. Yes I already computed iyong possible points ko. Targeting na maka 70 given that 20 points makukuha kong score sa pte. Then I’ll be applying for visa 489.
