Ay nabasa ko na pala, pwedi mag witness despite na hindi same company. New question po, yong leaving certificate okay na ba yong COE ng former manager ko na he's been cleared na sa company that would suffice na kaya as leaving certificate?

Thank you po sa answers 😊

Question lang po.
Paano kaya majujustify na yung company ko dati was own by a different (bigger) company and biglang nagbentahan during my employment period (2013-2016) kaya nag-iba rin lahat ng nasa data.
Kasi sa SSS/2316 ko lumalabas na 2 companies yung employer ID.

Thanks sa sasagot po

That’s quite common and we help our clients draft the employment reference letter to make sure it’s mentioned in there.

Hello. I uploaded 3 files for each company (COE, payslip, bank account/SSS) and last 2 months of payment evidence instead of first and last month. Will it be an issue? Thanks a lot.

ACS clearly mentioned payment at commencement and end of each employment episode. They're strict when it comes to their guidelines and outright tags your entry as incomplete if not met.
You should try to add your ITR and the earlier payslips if possible, send them email if you can add it to your application *_hoping that you are still on early stage of review._

I sent an email for the updated documents already. Hopefully, they will reconsider 🙏🏽 Thank you for the advice!

isa_georgia · January 2023

Thank God they sent email for me to upload the updated documents 💖

I have concern with my first payslip in my first company though. HR just replied to my email saying they don't have a copy of 2012 payslips anymore.

Any other way aside from ITR and SSS? ACS only gave me 7 calendar days to upload the files 🙏🏽

greenrachx · January 2023

Hi! May pinaupload sa akin si ACS last Jan 10 pa pero until now hindi pa din finalised assessment ko. Okay lang ba yon? Or pwede na ako magfollow up? Pag kasi naglologin ako, nakaenable pa din ung upload additional docs kahit ilang beses ko na sinubmit.

mag follow up ka nalang din just to be sure

kjr05 · January 2023

Paano majujustify yung digitally signed na statutory declaration?
Nasa ibang bansa kasi yung boss ko (doon talaga siya nakabase). Hindi ko kasi sure kung tatanggapin ng ACS.

Hello! Would anyone be so kind to answer some of my questions? I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm applying for Subclass 189 as a 261313 - Software Engineer.

Is the employment reference below sufficient enough for my ACS application?

I was on an intra-company transferee visa so it was technically still the same company.
Do I still have to provide more details about my employment in Japan?

Since I'm still currently working at the same company is it okay to write DD/MM/YYYY - PRESENT? or is there a specific format for this?

I also have concerns for my payment evidences, I was employed from 2017-Present. I was able to get my Pay slips from 2018-Present. However, I am missing payslips from 2017 since it was on an older payroll system. For ITR I only have copies from 2020-2022. Will it be okay to supplement the missing months/years with an online screenshot from both my pagibig and sss contributions? Also how many payslips to I really need?

Lastly, is it okay to just DIY the ACS Skills Assessment Application or should I just look for an agent?

Mukhang complete naman po yung details ng reference letter po ninyo.
Yes po ok lang po yung to PRESENT.
Yes po you can supplement it with SSS and PAGIBIG. PAGIBIG online screenshot is actually better po since visible yung employer name for each contribution.

Opo kaya naman po ng DIY. Follow niyo lang po ng maigi yung ACS Skills Assessment Guidelines.

Meron po ba dito na naging positive outcome ng ACS for ICT Support Engineer at nagpaassess ulit for Developer Programmer / Software Engineer at positive outcome din using the same documents with ICT Support Engineer?

Just wanted to check kung may nakaencounter ng ganito. Salamat.

Di ko po natry yang sa case ninyo. Pero in my case po kasi Software Engineer in Test/Software QA Engineer/ Automation Engineer talaga pero nagpaassess ng Software Engineer and positive naman po assessment sa akin.
I think as long as yung mga Description of Employment Duties po ninyo sa mga reference letter ninyo is match sa Description of Employment Duties ng Software Engineer magiging positive po yung assessment. Heto po yung sa Software Engineer based sa ANZSCO Code Information.

jereOZ · January 2023

Hello po,

Just wanted to ask for links/sources sa pag-assess ng ACS ng Sections 1, 2, & 3 Schools? Hindi pa po kasi ako familiar kung ano po ang official definition ng each Section relative to the ACS Skills Assessment.

I'm looking to take a Master's Degree in IT this year, pero Section 2 po kasi yung school na tinitignan ko sa list under the updated 'Schools and Sections' tab. I'm worried po na after getting that degree, they would only assess it as equivalent to an AQF Associate Degree/Diploma.

Also read somewhere in this forum din po na ACS would automatically assess degrees from Section 2 Schools as AQF Associate Degrees/Diploma regardless of high GWA, unless may PRC License po.

Gusto ko po na maging sure na equivalent to an ICT Major AQF Bachelor's degree yung itetake kong Master's degree dito sa PH bago po mag-enroll.

Salamat po sa inyo in advance!

Thank you sa pagshare ng experience mo. Okay, talagang job description ang nagmamatter. I will probably try padin to apply for another assessment for another ANSZCO Code paglumabas na as positive result ng ICT Support Engineer Skills assessment ko.

Hello po @jinigirl , thank you. Nabasa ko rin po ito.

Tama po kaya yung understanding ko na better kumuha ng Master's Degree in IT sa Section 1 school kesa sa Section 2 school sa PH para ma-assess na may equivalent AQF Bachelor's Degree major in Computing after finishing that degree, since wala naman pong PRC Licensure yung Master's program ng Section 2 school?

I think yes, magiging bachelors degree equivalent yung masters mo if from section 1 school.. pero not sure kung panu magiging computation ng work experience mo (kung after ba ng PH bachelors degree mo or masters degree). Let's ask @RheaMARN1171933 for guidance

Salamat po! Will wait sa guidance ni @RheaMARN1171933 . So far kasi, non-IT related po yung work experience ko, and I'm planning na pagsabayin yung pagkuha ng IT-related work experience and Master's degree in the next 2-3 years, then mag-apply for subclass 491(family-sponsored regional migration) or kung ano man yung pinakamabilis na available PR visa pathway by then.

Congratulations po pala for receiving an invite @jinigirl , all the best and God bless!

Hello guys..any success stories here with BS. ECE and licensed din tapos positive outcome sa ACS?
Anung VISA subclass na nainvite for application and was the VISA granted successfully?

jar0 · January 2023

Hi @RheaMARN1171933 if pumasa ba as systems administrator sa assessment and eventually napprove yung VISA (any VISA)..pagdating ba sa AU system administrator dapat ang role/job? what if based on experience is already ICT Manager, pwede pa ding magapply as Manage?
