"Is this employment related to the nominated occupation? (Yes) (No)"
If yes, isasama ng Skillselect ang work experience na yun sa computation ng points.
If no, hindi maccount.
Makikita mo yang field na yan kapag nag-add ka ng Employment.
Sa kaso mo, you can still include your work experience prior to Feb 2008, but for it not to count for points, choose No.
From Feb 2008 onwards, choose Yes.

You have to take note na provisional visa lang ang 489 compared kung 190 ang maiaapply mo.

Hi lock_code2004!
I need your help to enlighten me.
As per the statement that was posted: At least a Bachelor degree, Masters from AU or other degree of a recognised standard - 15 pts
1. ACS assessed my Bachelors Degree in Computer Science as Associate degree. How many
point will I claim as I cannot see any option from the EOI "Associate Degree"? Then I have read the above-mentioned statement.
2. Regarding work experience it states that " After September 2011 is considered to equate to work at an appropriate skilled level and relevant to 263111 Computer Network and System Engineer of the ANZSCO Code.
My question is, how about my work experience before September 2011 as an IT Support,
will I claim it as relevant?
Thanks much.

1. 10pts only .. You are not assessed as equivalent to bachelor so wont be able to claim 15pts
2. Only claim what ever is assessed as equivalent or relevant.. In your case only aftr sep 2011..
If you claimed points incorrectly, your visa application might be denied..

Hello po sa lahat, kukonsulta lang sana ako sa ibang pinoyau member...
Based po sa email below ng EA sakin, yung Positive Assessment Outcome Letter was issued on 14 August 2014. Currently, hindi pa namin na-rereceive yung letter, pero gusto ko na sana mag-submit ng EOI.
Hinahabol ko kasi ma-Invite before my birthday sa November, para ma-achieve ko yung Points for Age.
Sa 'Skill Assessment' section ng EOI, need i-provide yung "Date of Assessment" details, so I am thinking na ilagay yung 14 August 2014 na sinabi sa email ng EA.
Okay lang kaya yun? What if kung ma-receive namin yung actual Assessment Letter from EA, iba ang 'Date' na nakalagay?
Worried kasi ako na baka ma-Invite ako then later on, lumabas hindi match yung "Date of Assessment" na nilagay ko sa EOI, dun sa EA letter na ipprovide ko pag nag-submit nako ng docs for visa application...
Salamat po sa inputs!
