snider · December 2014

good morning po, medyo nalito lang ako dito. For my current employer, ano ang dapat na ilagay ko sa end date sa employment reference ko?

If your employment reference is “Current”, it MUST be dated and the “To Date” will be noted as the date of the submission of the skills assessment.

January kasi ako magpapa assess, pero this month ako kukuha ng letter. Automatic ba na pipiliin ni ACS ang January kahit December ang nakalagay sa letter?

salamat po

J_Oz · December 2014

@snider sa Employment reference, ang ilalagay mo kung current yan, ay from Month XX, XXXX to PRESENT.

tapos kapag nagsubmit ka na sa ACS Ang ilalagay mo naman sa current mo na TO DATE ay yong Month and year kung kelan ka magpapasa. Ganito ang ginawa ko, ok naman yong result... pwede ka naman siguro magpagawa ng bagong employment reference kung hanapan ka...

2 employment reference sinubmit ko yong isa may job desc yong isa may compensation. Magkaiba date. pero inassess naman kung kelan ko nisubmit...

thanks J_Oz

Hi po!

Anyone who is willing to share their CV for ACS assessment? Or kung may format po ba kayo na follow? Pa-share naman po at my email add: [email protected]

Thank you.

gidiyap · December 2014

@cnel_26... ang alam ko, not needed ang CV for ACS assesment... you need COE's from previous employers. regarding the format ng COE's meron dito sa forum search mo lang.. B-)

@magoo_z Do you think kelangan ko pa kumuha ng migration agent? I have submitted my documents sa Australian Computer Society

magoo_z · December 2014

@edwinvillanueva2530 well just like majority of the people here kaya mo naman to i diy. hindi naman ganun ka komplikado and kung my mga doubts or questions ka during the process pwede ka magtanong dito sa forum(which mostly nasagot na)

189 Skilled Independe: http://www.immi.gov.au/Visas/Pages/189.aspx
190 State Nominated: http://www.immi.gov.au/Visas/Pages/190.aspx

suggest ko na approach(high-level lang to):
- assess mo ung points na possible mo makuha using the points tests calculator
- which will lead you to decide kung 189 or 190 kukunin mo
- alamin mo ang anzco code na angkop sa skills mo/work experience
- check mo eligibility ng anzco code mo sa - https://www.anzscosearch.com
- check mo yung requirements, timeline at fees para sa respective assessing authority ng skills mo
- mag submit ka ng skills assessment at sabay review kana ng ielts habang nag aantay ng result
- mag ielts ka
- submit ka ne eoi at antay na ma invite to lodge
- lodge application
- upload your documents, kuha ng police clearance/nbi at mag pamedical
- wait for grant

mga timeline ng mga na grant would give you the idea kung ano mga steps/procedure.

speedmark · December 2014

@speedmark Hello. ask ko lang kung nagenrol ka sa review centre dito sa sg or self review lang? ilang months po ang preparation mo before the exam. Salamat!

hi @maria_sg nag-review ako nang ielts express sa british council then studied by myself din.. my suggestion is to aim for band of 8 to easily get 7..

cnel_26 · December 2014

@gidiyap: Thank you po.

AussieGal14 · December 2014

Will it ba taken against me if I have more than 1 ACS assesment with different code?

AussieGal14 · December 2014

Anyone who had ACS recently? How long do they process now adays?

gidiyap · December 2014

@edwinvillanueva2530, choice nyo po if you want to avail the services of a migration agent.. but based sa nababasa ko dito sa forum, most of them e nag DIY as mentioned by @magoo_z. Di naman madadamot mga tao dito and someone will always answer to the best of their knowledge and experience with regards sa issues na pede na-encounter na din nila..

@AussieGal14, as far as i know, you can only choose 1 ANZSCO code na pinakamalapit sa roles or tasks for assesement. ACS will still review pa rin naman ung mga documents na nareview mo and may nabasa ako dito na they will give you a different ANZSCO code if they think na un ung best na pinakamalapit sa role mo and it is your choice to accept it or not.

cnel_26 · December 2014

Ask ko lang po kung may bearing ba ang Job Title to get a positive result or mas tinitingnan nila ang DUTIES/Responsibilites mo sa nominated ANZCO code? Kasi nagpalit kami ng Job Title pero same pa rin naman ang duties and responsibilities..

Thank you po.

RuChe · December 2014

Job title is for reference only but the important things are the duties and responsibilities and the length of employment. Me mga job titles kase sa IT like consultant that can mean many different things so it will still boil down to the actual job description.

AussieGal14 · December 2014

@cnel_26 Hi cnel, ask ko lang sana if when ka nagpass ng ACS? I was about to submit tonight. Last time kasi it only took 9 days for my assesment. TIA!

cnel_26 · December 2014

@RuChe: Thank you for that information. Kasi nagbago ung Job Title ko eh from Programmer Analyst to CIM Engineer. Pero same lang ng duties and responsibilities kaya mejo naging worried. Any advice?

@AussieGal14: Pass ako tonight or until tomorrow sa ACS. Talaga, 9 days lang? Sa ACS din ba yan? Good luck sa aten...

gidiyap · December 2014

goodluck @cnel_26, @AussieGal14!

RuChe · December 2014

@cnel_26 , ok lang yan kahit wag mo na palitan ang job title kung na-submit mo na yung COE mo with the old job title. Like for me, Systems Analyst nominated skills ko pero ang title ko IT Consultant. Wala namang naging problem.

cnel_26 · December 2014

Thank you @RuChe. I am about to submit today kaya lang may linkage ung old application ko. HIndi ko ma-delete ung ibang attachments specially dun sa Education/Employment qualifications. I wonder why..

Anyone who could help? Thank you...

RuChe · December 2014

@cnel_26. Kung significant yung mga kelangan mong updates, you can just attach a new file. Lagyan mo na lng ng description kung para san yung new file mo or kung ano difference nun sa existing attachment. Hindi kase talaga nade-delete yung attachments based on mine din nun.

buchock · December 2014

Question po, kailangan bang magtake din ng IELTS ng secondary applicant?
In my case, ako yung main applicant at yung wife ko ang secondary.

Ito nakalagay sa note ng 189 sa visa fee,

12a - For applicants who have turned 18 at the time of application and who are assessed as not having functional English the second instalment is $4885. For any other applicant, the second instalment is nil.

or only applicable for additional applicant na nagturn 18 after magsubmit ng visa application?

zector · December 2014

hi @buchock
Sa kakaalam ko if you'll claim for partner points for your wife then you'll need:
- her occupation to be in SOL, and also be assessed by its corresponding assessing body
- her to be competent in english (IELTS, TOEFL, PTE-A)

pero kung sub-applicant lang:
- good character (PCC/NBI if pinas) and health (medical)
- proof of functional english (http://www.immi.gov.au/faqs/Pages/how-can-i-prove-i-have-functional-english.aspx)

yung proof of english kelangan para di kana magbayad ng "second installment"
If college graduate yung wife mo, easiest way is to get a certificate from the university saying that all her subjects were done in english.

buchock · December 2014

thanks @zector sa info....

cnel_26 · December 2014

@RuChe: Nilagyan ko na lang ng distinction ung file na attached ko. So far, nasa Allocated na ung ACS application. Nabasa ko sa site nila na on vacation sila from 12/19 /2014 to 1/4/2015. Antay na lang ng result... Praying all will be well. Thank you po sa time. God bless!

baknir · January 2015

mga sir/mam.. ask ko lang po kung nag include din kayo ng "completion letter" for ACS assessment?? or CTC of TOR is enough na po??may nakalagay po kasi sa web page nila ng ganito

"All applications must be decision ready before submitting a skills assessment. Qualifications must have a completion letter that states the exact date all the academic requirements were met."

Thanks in advance

J_Oz · January 2015

@baknir Yong Diploma po ang isubmit nyo. Bale TOR at diploma yong inupload ko. ok naman result ko... Yong diploma naman nakalagay kung kailan ka naggraduate dba?

baknir · January 2015

@J_Oz salamat ng marami po

akala ko kailangan talaga ng completion letter na yan... hehehe !!! my kilala ako na kumuha ng ganyan at isinama nya sa assessment.. ok naman din result.... pero sa detailed guidelines ng ACS hindi naman kasama sa list nila yan... medyo na natuliro lang ako nun mabasa ko yan sa main web page nila...
