Hello po! Just received the outcome letter for my husband. Since 3 occupation code yung pwede, medyo nalilito lang po ako ano gagamitin ko for our EOI. Lahat naman suitable pero may slight differences po.
1) ICT Support Engineer - Degree is closely related and work experience is closely related
2) Computer Network & Systems Engineer - Degree not closely related but employment was acceptable due to overall history of experience
3) Network Admin - same po sa Computer Network
All three din po nakalagay na comparable to Degree naman
Any similar results and any advice which one is best to use sa EOI namin? Thank you!

In our case, lahat yan nilodge namin ng EOI. Mag dedepend nlng ilang years ung na assess ni ACS for each occupation sa points claiming and depende din sa rules per state. For example for SC 189 we have EOI for ICT Security Specialist, System Administrator and Computer Network & System Engineer. For 190 NSW and VIC same din. In our case we have a total of 100+ EOI dahil nagpa assess po kme both.

Oh sige po, maglodge ako ng EOI per Occupation code. Then, parehas po kayo gumawa EOI for both? Meaning meron EOI na kayo main applicant, then meron din po wife/hubby niyo?
Kamusta po na-invite na po ba kayo?

Hello, bigla ako naconfuse. Can someone help to clarify ano yung pwede ko claim for points?
Meron kasi nakalagay na date suitable for migration as of 2018, pero dun sa closely related na experience - lahat naman from 2014 experience is listed.
Does that mean I can only claim for points from 2018?
Thanks!

Hi,
1) Better po if may letter head ng company, I don’t think iaccept yan unless notarized. Sakin kasi wala ako ganyan - employment reference lang sakin with details about sa role ko, duration ng employment, salary, and job description, hindi ko na din pinanotarized since may letterhead naman ng company.
2) Hmm not sure, as per what we sent lahat signed naman and some signed digitally (meaning hindi printed then signed)
3) ah yes, if may letter you can add that as 1 document sa employment ref
4) as mentioned sa number 1, yes wala yung witness etc. wala akong sinubmit na notarized na employment reference. Yes, when we requested sa HR and ibang manager ni hubby - I send them the document in words, then included instructions sa email ko na need ko in company letter head and their signature. Unless sa current company niya kasi we cannot directly state na it’s for migration, haha I followed their advice na palabasin it’s for training purposes

Hello, HELP! sorry I'm asking again. If anyone can help clarify sana for claiming points. Sharing screenshots po para malinaw and sorry na po paulit ulit.

From 24 June 2018 onwards lang pwede ko tick as "Yes" sa EOI?

Kahit po lahat ng Employment history from 2014 is tagged as "Closely Related" dun sa occupation code?
THANK YOU!

Hello, much better ba unahin ang acs bago mag take ng PTE?
Joined: Nov 01, 2021
IMO, Yes kasi 4-6 weeks result ng ACS and add pa yung duration ng documents gathering. You can review PTE while gathering docs and waiting for the ACS result. And PTE turnaround time of results usually are less than a week on some cases the next day may result na agad.

for me, yes. your goal is to get a positive skills assessment result. focus ka muna dun. your ACS result will make or break your next step. not to mention, ang mahal ng assessment fee. PTE can wait.

Sa mga taga Accenture before, nabasa ko na nabigyan sila ng COE w/ JD provided na signed ng previous manager. I tried this, but unfortunately and reply nila is hindi daw sila nagpoprovide neto.
I also mentioned na required sya sa visa assessment. Need ko pa bang kulitin? Hay nakakafrustrate.

Did you try to appeal sa kanila?
Sinend ko sa kanila yung JD sa job portal nila which aligns din sa JD ko. Sana mareconsider, hassle pa namang humanap ng manager na willing magpa-statutory.

Hindi na ko nag appeal. Pero nag provide nalang sila ng Official Non-issuance Letter (para sa job desc). Kinontact ko agad Manager ko nun para sa stat dec.
May mga nakapag secure dito ng letter with R&R. Depende sa mood ng naka man sa HR account nila haha.

Hi mga ka-pinoyau!
I just need clarification on my ACS outcome. All three ANZSCO Codes are suitable and my work experiences have been assessed as closely related. Below is my experience summary:
Company A:
Start: June 2019
End: Nov 2021
Company B:
Start: Nov 2021
End: N/A (Current)
I submitted my ACS application last Feb 2025 and received the outcome today. I just want to have clarification on how many years they deducted from my experience. Below is the message I received from them:
Your skills have been assessed to be suitable against the requirements for ANZSCO code 261312 Developer
Programmer as of 12-Jun-2024.
Does that mean I would have to count my experience starting June 12, 2024? If so, does that mean I still cannot apply for a PR visa since the minimum requirement is to have 3 years of exp? Can someone please explain to me?
Thank you!
Joined: Mar 02, 2023
You may be able to claim experiences before that date if they are assessed as relevant depending on which visa or state you will apply. Not sure if same pa rin but NSW follows the date deemed skilled, which is the date indicated above. For VIC and visa 189, pwede.
Some may disagree with this but this info is from MARA agents and was suggested by my agent as well. Although you still have to be very careful.
Also, I just got my grant today and we claimed points for relevant experience before the date.
Joined: Nov 05, 2024
Thank you!
OR... since my qualification and work experience are assessed as "closely related", they deducted 2 years so they started to count from June 2021. In able to be suitable I believe I need 3 years so my 3rd year is June 2024 (which is the date stated by ACS above) and this is why they found me suitable because I have 3 years of experience as of June 2024.
Can anyone confirm this?

you can still submit an EOI but you will get 0 points for work experience. once you hit the 3 years mark, the system will automatically add 5 points to your profile.
