Una po gusto ko lang magpasalamat sa lahat ng contributors ng forum sobrang dami ko pong natutunan sa pag basa pa lang dito. Salamat po ulit
Gusto ko na rin po sanang mag apply ng 189 or 190 visa kaso may mga concerns po ako baka sakali matulungan nyo ako for further advise?
1.)Age:31; BS Computer Science graduate: 2004; PUP- Manila.
2.)Past job: customer service assistant: 3 years; customer service supervisor: 2 years; operations manager: 6 months
3.)Current job: QA analyst started: April 15, 2013 - present (Australian company: Pinadala na rin po ako sa Sydney twice (July-Sept 2013 & Feb-March 2014).
Dahil sa pagpadala sa akin nakita ko talaga na maganda ang future sa Australia. Tapos nakaka-inspire pa yung mga nababasa ko sa forum about their success stories.
Plano ko po mag submit sa ACS. Problem ko po kasi hindi related yung customer service work ko. Tapos mag two-years pa lang ako as QA Analyst this April 2015.
Nabasa ko po na yung two-years relevant experience will be deducted kasi for criteria pa lang sya and not counted as skills.
1.)If ever zero po ang points ko sa skills tama po ba ako?
2.)May additional points po ba kasi nag work na ako sa Sydney kahit months lang? Pwede ko po ba sya indicate sa COE?
3.)Ok lang po ba if yung payment ng visa is via credit card but not under my name?
Maraming salamat po
Kay

1.)If ever zero po ang points ko sa skills tama po ba ako?
- Ano po ba ang nominated occupation mo? I assume Software Tester, as of now wala po sa SOL ang Software Tester and sa CSOL naman sa VIC siya pasok pero closed na. So ang option mo ay 190. Sa visa 190 may minimum work experience sila, sa ngayon 3 years siya. And yes ACS po nagbabawas minimum of two years.
--261112 - Systems Analysts po kasi dun po yung related yung present job ko ngayon. Medyo hesitant nga lang po ako since nagbabawas pa si ACS ng two years. Makapasok po ba kaya ako even if i try 189 visa?
2.)May additional points po ba kasi nag work na ako sa Sydney kahit months lang? Pwede ko po ba sya indicate sa COE?
- Yes you can claim points, pero minimum one year siya and related to your nominated occupation...
--yes related po sya sa nominated occupation ko pero since 3 months lang hindi din pala valid
Salamat po ulit

I am thinking of that. One alternative also is to apply for a new assessment of my ACS to submit my 2003 experience so that I can get a maximum point for my experience. My previous assessment is that the experience that I submitted was started on May 2005

Tsaka kung zero ka sa Skills, as long as suitable ang skill assessment mo and ma meet mo yong points sa EOI e pwede ka magsubmit.
Yong points sa age, IELTS, qualification... Malakas ring panghatak ang IELTS kasi 20 points yon as long as maka 8 ka sa lahat ng sub test...
