Ako, hindi. Mostly yang part ng ACS ikaw din magpproduce ng documents. Follow mo lang ACS guideline kung straightforward lang case mo, you'll be fine. Para alam mo din yung mga pinagssubmit mong documents mismo. Walang sisihan for any aberya.
Pag may complexity, yan siguro mas maiging mag consult sa agent. Like paano magproceed kung hindi aligned ang educ with work experience etc.

Hello po ulit, malapit na kasi mag expire yung ACS ko and nag recheck lang ako ng previously submitted docs ko. Di naman ako nag change ng company so sa last assesment ko same pa din, kaso lang may sulat dun sa reference letter ko na "valid for one month from issuing date" magkaka issue po ba yun pag sinubmit ko yun ulit with recent bank statement + payslip?

Hello,
Nirerequire po ba talaga ni ACS yung contact info ng current at previous employers? Paano po kung di na mareach yung former superior via social media accounts?
Thanks,

Kelangan lang verifiable yung letter mo kaya need nila naka official letter head. Usually my contact details din ng signatory/dept dapat (email add ganyan). Sakin email add eh.
Sa stat dec, same. Need ng contact details nung nag attest.

Pwede ka na magsubmit ng EOI if you have at least competent pte result AND positive skills assessment for general skilled migration. Medyo babaan mo nga lang expectation mo siguro, kasi kahit yung ibang superior na yung score eh naghihintay pa rin ng months before mainvite. Kung may time ka din at resources, iimprove mo pa yung english for more chances of winning haha. Goodluck.

As long as you meet the minimum 65 points, you can always lodge your EOI and just update it if you have more points to claim. All the best

Hi everyone! 😊
Just wanted to ask if anyone here has completed their Master’s degree in Australia, but only had their Bachelor’s degree assessed for their skills assessment?
Did you still include both your Bachelor’s and Master’s in your EOI? And for the part that asks “Is the above Education history information correct?”, is it okay to tick Yes even if your skills assessment is based on your Bachelor’s?
Would really appreciate any insights or experience you could share. Thank you so much in advance! 🙏
Joined: Mar 10, 2016
It’s asking for the highest qualification so I would put masters and the bachelors as well. Basically both.
Joined: Oct 28, 2021
Thank you so much for the clarification!
I’ll include both my Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees as suggested. 😊

re: Statutory declarations and affidavits.
Wala na sa previous company ko yun manager noon and I doubt I entertain pa ako ng HR. Okay lang ba if ipa sign ko sa dating manager ko noon doon BUT no longer affiliated na din siya sa previous company namin?
Salamat!

Parang may nabasa ako dito na ganun yung ginawa pero kasi closed na yung company at may stat dec ata na kasama. Much better parin kung i-try mo kausapin yung hr nyo para pwede nakalagay sa company letterhead.
Nung una din nahihiya ako kausapin mga hr ng prev companies ko kasi parang abala ako, pero so far in-entertain naman nila ako, yung iba nga lang eh umabot ng mga 2 months pero di ako sumuko ng kaka follow up 2x a week haha

Yes, pwede to. As long as the signatory OF THE STATUTORY DECLARATION could provide his/her CoE and within that period may overlap yung stay nyo sa company.
Kasama sa trabaho ng HR yung magprovide ng documents for exiting employees and those who already left. Mag insist ka unless sabihin nilang hindi magpprovide talaga.

Mukhang mas feasible pa yata to just ask for a statutory declaration from my previous Manager hehe. Question ulit — Wala din na-provide na job description before (title lang na 'FULL STACK DEVELOPER' sa FB group posting), pwede ba akong gumawa na lang based on my actual work experience?
Try ko na mag draft stat dec then papirmahan nalang once makausap ko yun manager ko dati.

EOI Yes pwede multiple occupations and visa subclass pero yung ROI applicable lng siya sa for Vic and pipili ka lng either 190 or 491..you can check din immigration website per states or territory to validate kung may need sila na ROI and para macheck na din in general yung migration policies ng state na target mo nagbabago din kc like yung occupation list..sa ACT yung ACT/Canberra Matrix yung equivalent ng ROI..
