Hi,

I'm currently gathering information about Visa options. I have been working as an Application Support for the past 6 years which is related to the "263212 - ICT Support Engineer" of the CSOL which also falls under the catergory of "Nominated or Sponsorship" base on ANZSCO-Descriptions-2015.pdf document.

Skilled - Nominated (subclass 190) yung right Visa option ko, tama po ba?

Thank you in advance

Envy · April 2015

@Hokage579

189 or 190. Try reading some of the threads dito sa pinoyau for both visa options.

@Envy thank you

franz15 · April 2015

@zitrojam Read mo lang ulit yung ACS Skills Assessment Guidelines. Nadiscuss dun yung regarding sa skill level requirement met date. If you have 5 years experience, me possibility na ma-meet mo naman yung suitability criteria. However, possible din na di ka makapagclaim ng points sa overseas employment if you will be left with less than 3 years after madeduct ng ACS yung years before yung skill level requirement met date mo. You can have other options pa rin naman na kunin sa ibang criteria like age, IELTS/TOEFL/PTE, partner skills, state sponsorship, etc. kung ma-short ka man sa required na 60 points to be invited if you plan to apply a skilled independent visa.

@franz15 thank you so much for the hope, hehe

all is well!

@zitrojam No worries mate. Best of luck!

Hello everyone! Newbie here. I've got some questions, I hope I get answers..

1. I've tried to request for COE to my employer with the ACS format, and sadly they won't provide detailed job description. Do you guys know any workaround for this?

2. I am a graduate from DLSU. For the accredited schools, What does the "section" mean?

1. Feeling ko tamad lang gumawa ang employer mo ng detailed job description. Ikaw na lang ang gumawa then request mo na iprint under company letterhead then get their signature if they agree sa mga nilagay mong details.

2. Section means how AU recognize the school if it is equal to AU school standards. 1 is the highest.

Confirm ko lang po. Yung nominated skill nya ay nasa CSOL and NOT on SOL. So I believe 190 ang dapat na path nya unless I'm missing something.

jaceejoef · April 2015

question po. may interview po ba ang assessment? kasi parang wala akong nakitang interview sa whole processing ng visa. this is only based dun sa mga processes sa signatures ninyo.

franz15 · April 2015

@jaceejoef As far as I know wala. In my case, di po ako ininterview for ACS assessment.

No, walang interview for ACS skills assessment. but others like VETASSESS, ung mga case officer tumatawag tlaga for verification.

Hi po

Question lang, yung company ko kasi before wala na. Shutdown na ang operation. So ang option ko na lang Statutory of Declaration/Affidavit. Ang nabasa ko dun sa guide, isang supporting document lang ang kailangan kung ang document na isa-submit ay Affidavit.

Balak ko sana isubmit din yung letter of cessation of business ng company. Ok lang kaya yun?

Isa pang question about sa notary public, normally sa Pilipinas di ba stamps and seal lang ang ginagawa sa notario, yun para ba ACS Skills Assessment dapat ba yung mismong lawyer ang mag sign ng document?

katniss · April 2015

@FrenchMilk di ko po sure ung sa gnyang scenario. Pero ala po ba kyong certificate of employment bago po kyo magresign? If meron ka po nun, pde ka po mag-hanap ng dting supervisor na ggawa ng statutory mo po.

ung sa notary public sa pinas, better po na mismong lawyer mag-sign ng document, tpos me stamp din po alam ko eh. nkalagay kc dun ung registration number sa stamp.

FrenchMilk · April 2015

Hi @katniss, thank you for your reply. most likely statutory of declaration/affidavit ang need ko gawin. meron ka po bang sample format ng document na yun? Meron kasi ako nakuhang sample template pero may section dun about Company Name, Company Address sa bandang itaas (upper right). Ito ba yung Company details nung manager ko na kukuhanan ko ng affidavit?

katniss · April 2015

@FrenchMilk
Eto po ung template na nifollow ko, ala nman po ako nging problem sa acs, less than a month, nkuha ko n po assessment ko.
Bale ung aim ng statutory is ung ex-boss mo ung mgddeclare na fulltime employee k ng company x then from/to date,, then anong position mo

katniss · April 2015

Tpos sa middle part ng declaration, ilist mo po lahat ng roles and resposibilities mo (mas marami mas maganda).. yung sa kin gnawa kong detailed n prang resume hehe. Btw make sure n ung responsibilies mo n illist dun eh swak dun sa skillcode n ipapaassess mo.. for example soft engneer, dpat iemphasize mo yun.. wag ung prang supervisory tasks ung mas marami

rexy29 · April 2015

Hi po! Question lang po, my husband is a high school grad but worked at several bpo companies since 2008 as dialer analyst and lead workforce reports anayst. Ano po bang csol or sol code ang pwede sknya when he applies for assessment s acs? Or un acs n ang mag iidentify non? Btw, he is planning to take a programming ncIV tvet course, do u think this would help him in his assessment?

FrenchMilk · May 2015

thanks for sharing your template @katniss

FrenchMilk · May 2015

Btw, additional questions, need pa ba ipa-red ribbon ang mga transcript and diploma for the skills assessment? Or enough na notarized na yung mga documents?

psalms5110 · May 2015

Hello po, question based dun sa ACS documents,

"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."

--- Parang may nabasa po kasi ako dito na Kailangan lagyan ng end date ung sa ACS, un po ba ay sa ACS application, or sa COE na isusubmit? Pwede po bang ung COE eh ilagay na lang "up to date"?

tia

katniss · May 2015

@FrenchMilk , naghanap po kmi ng registered lawyer, then nagdala po kmi nung orig docs and scanned printout nung orig docs then ni-ctc nya. enough n po na na-ctc ng lawyer. basta mas maigi if colored po yung printout nyo kc yun yung iiscan nyo uli then issubmit nyo s acs.

J_Oz · May 2015

@FrenchMilk need mo ipa-CTC no need na red ribbon.

gerardds · May 2015

@psalms5110 sa COE ko nakalagay "Since mm/dd/yyyy" walang nakalagay na end date pero accepted sya

Hokage579 · May 2015

@eccen3k ayun nga rin pag kaka intindi ko. Dahil yung ICT Support Engineer ay nasa CSOL. Most probably baka un Lang Pwede ko apply na visa (state sponsorship).

Baka may other insights po kayo. Thank u

jaceejoef · May 2015

hello, may question po ako regarding work experience.

total of 4 years na po akong nagtatrabaho within 3 different companies. more than a year sa first job (PHP Developer), 6 months sa second job (C# Developer), and more than 2 years sa third (current) job (Software Engineer).

may pros-cons po ba kung sa iba-ibang company nagtrabaho? may minimum years ba dapat nagtrabaho sa isang company?

shielalables · May 2015

Hi po, magtatanong po ulit ako. Sana may sasagot =P

Bali ito po details ko:
-4 years experience as dev and galing sa Section 1 school. Based po sa mga nabasa ko, min 2 years po ikakaltas pag AQF yung assessment ng ACS. If ganun po yung case, 2 years lang ba ang skilled employment na iaassess ng DIBP and hindi ako pwede makaclaim ng points kasi less than 3 years ako? Paki enlighten naman po. Thank you!

Correct 2 years ang minimum deduction ni ACS. And wala kang maclaim na points for work. Matagal pa ba bago ka mag 5 years?

yes. u need to have at least 3 yrs to claim points for work experience. U r continuously accumulating work experience nmn even after receiving the skills assessment from ACS, so kung malapit kana mag 5 yrs sa work mo pwede ka pa makaclaim ng 3 yrs.

ios_dev · May 2015

It's been a year since I last posted here. Magkakaron na ako nang additional year sa work experience!

How long is the validity nang ACS results? Last I heard it was 2 years, but I'm curious if that's changed.
