NSW no longer make reference to skills assessment results re skilled employment experience. They now refer to the actual migration policy.

Unfortunately, against si agent sa pag-claim ng additional points for work experience, reason is that hindi highly relevant yung work experience ko sa bachelor degree kaya ina advise nya na sundin pa din ung deemed sa result letter.

Interesting. Mukhang may point din naman kesa mag overclaim. Mas alam nila details ng work experience mo and degree. Do you agree na hindi relevant?

I think so kasi based sa degree dapat more into coding/programming yung work experience ko para maging highly relevant..though based sa acs result letter nakalagay lng na relevant to anzsco code kaya ayun.

Hello,
meron na po ba dito na nag claim ng points before ACS deemed date for VIC and 189?
My experience started nung 2014-2015 and 2016-2024 (2 employers)
Ok po ba na nilagay ko yung 2014-2015 pero nilagay ko not nominated (hindi po ako nag claim ng points)
Then sa second employer ko nag start ako noong 2016 pero after assessment 2017 yung na-deem.
Question po kung pwede ko i-claim yung 2016 since same employer naman, iisa lang naman po ang pinasa ko na requirements for that employer sa ACS.
Some other things about me: assessed by bachelor degree and all of my experience are closely related sa nominated ANZSCO
nag inquire po ako sa SSA Migration sabi ok lang daw pero gusto ko rin po malaman kung may gumawa nito.
DIY po ako

Hello!
Question lang, I've been working kasi as a freelancer for 2 years now. Problem ko is yung ITR ko dahil since nung nag start ako sa freelancing ay hindi na ako nakapag bayad ng tax.
Alam ko kasi yung ITR, payslips at yung employment reference letter ay kailangan para ma check yung salary mo. Pwede kaya eto ipaayos sa accountant or may alternative suggestion kayo na pwedeng ipalit sa ITR?
Thank you!

ACS Assessment
Lumabas na po result ng skills assessment ko and yung sa education equivalent lang sya Diploma. I'm a graduate of BS Computer Engineering and yung school ko po ay nasa section 1. Weird lang bakit Diploma ung na assess ni ACS ?
Nominated ANZCODE is Security specialist , System administrator and NEC Manager
Meron po bang similar case? Did you try to contact and clarify this with ACS ? How as the result?

Hmm…it would say on the outcome letter from which experience they considered relevant to your skills assessment, regardless whether your degree is highly relevant or not.

This is why I stay vigilant on ACS outcomes….they get things wrong at times and it’s too difficult to chase them to raise a query until I escalate it to upper management.

Hello, question lang sa mga may naka experience na mag apply. So I am planning to apply for an assessment sa ACS. My current background: Graduated BS in Information Technology. Then right after I graduated, nagapply agad ako ng work and currently employed ako as a software engineer sa same company now for 2 years and counting.
My question is, qualified ba ako mag apply for an assessment? If yes, what are the chances na positive ang outcome assuming na closely related yung studies, work and nominated work ko? Ang pagkakaintindi ko kasi may idededuct sila na 2 years regardless of background. Thank you

Positive outcome, however, 0 points lang matatangap mo sa work experience, kasi nga, as you have mentioned, may 2 years deduction si ACS dun sa pag assess nila.

Ginanahan ako lalo mag-apply haha. But for deduction of 2 years, hindi ko talaga sure kung regardless of background mag dededuct sila or baka sa mga "not so close" na background lang sila nagdededuct. Pero bago ang lahat, subukan ko muna ang assessment. Thanks you

Question po about lodging ng EOI. I find new ACS assessment format and even ung wordings nila confusing so asking po for your input..
"Your skills have been assessed to be suitable against the requirements for ANZSCO code 263111 Computer Network and Systems Engineer as of 20-Jan-2024."
Education: (I have two Bachelor's Degree)
IT related bachelor's degree 1 taken from Philippines - Only got equivalent to Diploma probably kasi Section 3 ung school ko
My other bachelor's degree taken outside pinas - assessed to be comparable to Bachelor Degree
However, ACS assessed both as not closely related sa ANZSCO code ko which is kinda surprising.
Work experience: Assessed to be closely related . Naka enumerate ung mga employment na included in table format. (15 years)
Questions:
1. Should I include both as bachelor’s degrees in my EOI, or should I only list it as diploma and bachelor’s degree as per the ACS assessment? Also, am I eligible to claim 15 points for education?
For employment history, should I only include the positions that ACS assessed as closely related?
For this line: "Your skills have been assessed to be suitable against the requirements for ANZSCO code 263111 Computer Network and Systems Engineer as of 20-Jan-2024." - ano po ung ibig sabihin nung 20-Jan-2024? Ito kasi ung date kung kelan ko nakuha ung second degree ko. Ibig sabihin po ba counted ung work experience ko prior to this?
Pasencya na po medyo mahaba.. gusto ko lang ma-verify ung understanding ko din. Thank you!!!

As far as the migration law is concerned, those 2 years can be claimed but be prepared to defend your claim if case officer queries it.

Normally po anong supporting documents hinahanap ng case officer pag ganitong case? Thank you po.
