This is my profile (where I am now): I am 25 y/o and working for 5 years as IT Business Systems Analyst. I haven't lodged application for Skills Assessment at ACS. I am on the process of collecting requirements for the assessment. I reviewed the ACS guidelines and checklist. Respall also did a walkthrough of the whole process. There are just thing I needed to clarify...
Here are my questions:
1. Is it better to migrate DIY or with a help of RMA? My bf and I did the initial assessment with Respall. Please advise us if is it possible and easy to DIY because their prof fee is so much for us. Or, can we get the Respall service after the ACS Result and before the lodging of EOI so we will incur lesser cost. Or can you recommend other cheaper yet knowledgeable agents?
2. My bf does not qualify for the initial assessment due to the years of his work experience. He is a web developer btw. Respall agent told us that I can be the principal applicant and he will be dependent provided that we marry before EOI or Visa lodgement. Is it true that he will also get the same SI 189 visa if I qualify most of the processes? What is he required to do? Does he have to undergo the ACS Skill Assessment too?
3. In case I chose to DIY, are there any tips you can give me to have a successful ACS Assessment and Visa grant? What is the estimate overall cost until the visa grant?
Sorry for this long post. Hope you can help us with our journey!
Thank you very much!
April to July, 2015 - Gather requirements for ACS
July 6, 2015 - Lodge ACS application
July 13, 2015 - Received ACS result: AQF Bachelor degree major in Computing.. praise God!
Next step: IELTS on September

Can somebody please help me with this, gusto ko lang magkaroon ng idea from people who are applying and have applied na. I've been in Australia for 2.5yrs under a student visa.
Age: 27
SOL: Early Childhood Preprimary School Teacher
Work Experience: 2.5 (So I figured wala siya bearing since it didn't reach the minimum number of years)
English Ability: OB 8
Qualifications:
Miriam- Early Childhood Education degree = Australian Bachelor Degree (assessed by AEI-NOOSR)
Australian Study Requirement:
2 years full time Diploma of Business course here in Australia. Do I get eligible points for this?
That's it. Do you guys think I have a high chance of having a successful 189 application?
Thankyou very much
