yun ang depende sa assessment kung degree (15pts) or diploma (10pts)
pero yung Australian Study Requirements (5pts) is wether you studied in AU for atleast 2 years kahit na degree, diploma or trade certficate...
then there is another 5 pts kung sa Regional Area ka nag-aral..

- Educ Assessment (based sa assesment ng assessing authority)
- Australian Study requirements (kung nag-aral sa AU)
kaya nga ang advise ko, dapat bago mag-fill-up ng EOI, dapat alam mo na ang estimated pts mo..
at pag nagkaroon ng sobra na hindi mo alam kung saan nanggaling, they should re-check it before submitting...

Relieved to know that there will be no invitations for ICT Business and Systems Analysts for this round due to the continuing high numbers of EOIs received for these occupations as I have submitted my ACS skills assessment just recently.
As per DIAC "Invitations for these occupations will be issued on a pro rata basis in each twice monthly invitation round over the remainder of the program year".
Chemical and Materials Engineers
ICT Business and Systems Analysts
Electronics Engineers
Telecommunications Engineering Professionals
Other Engineering Professional
Software and Applications Programmers.
Advantage: Good for people who just submitted their skills assessment.
Disadvantage: Those who already submitted their EOI needs to wait longer.

1.) Employment Start Date
What date do I need to put-in in the employment start date? Since ACS new rule is already in effect wherein the result letter says "The ffg employment after Jan 2005 is consider to equate to work....." While in EOI form, it says employment for the last 10 years. So I dont know if I should put-in Feb 2005 if I follow ACS or Aug 2003 if I follow DIAC's last 10 years.
2.) Date From of Educ History
I only know the month and year of when I started college. And I dont have any records showing the excat date. Ok lang ba na hulaan ko n lang ang exact date, ilagay ko na lang Jun 3, which is a Monday. is it not a big deal sa DIAC?
3.) Are there any family members the client would like to include in a future application?
Confirm ko lang if my answer should be NO. I am single and will not include any members of my family in my application now. Pero when the time comes, siguro after a few years, I might sponsor a family member.
4.) Does the client meet the Australian study requirements for the Skilled Migration points test?
Answer should be NO since I dont have Australia education. Tama po?
Thanks in advance sa sasagot.

1) Employment Start date-- yung ilalagay nyo po EOI is yung work nyo po for the last 10 years na "closely related" sa nominated skill nyo. In your case po, ang work taht was assessed as related po is only from January 2005? If yes, please follow this date
2) Date From of Educ History -- I also indictaed the nearest Monday in June for my school start year, no issue naman po. pero yung end date po is yung nakalagay po sa Diploma/cert..very important na consistent po
3)Dependents- its up to you po to include the dependents now kahit na di pa sila migrating with you... Factors po to consider are: additonal visa cost plus their medicals (required to go thru po along with your application)
4) Tama po, "No" ang sagot in that case

regarding naman sa employment start date ko which would start 2005 as per ACS. since I was in 1 company (related work) from 2004 to 2007. so dalawa magiging entry ko. same company, same position...but one entry (yung 2004) iddeclare ko as "not related" and the other (2005 to 2007) is "related". i will not claim points for 2004 so iddeclare ko sya as non-related although in reality related sya. tama po? just want to make sure.

- just to follow ACS result, i will break it down into:
Work A - 2000 to 2002 - "NOT Relevant"
Work B - 2003- 2005 - "RELEVANT"
baka kasi pag sinama nya ung first 2 years, eh magdagdag EOI pts nya sa work experience..
tapos pag tiningnan ng CO ang assessement result eh nakalagay dun na hindi dapat counted ang 1st two years (example lang)...
