QQ to those who know. If invited to apply, mayroon po bang interview during the visa application regarding work experience?
My COE is not 100% accurate kasi, the one I will submit to ACS for assessment.
May mga duties kasi na vague na pwedeng sa Sys. Analyst at sa Support Engineer.
But since wala sa SOL ang Support Engineer, ipa-pattern ko na lang to match yung sa Sys. Analyst duties.
Marami kasing overlaps yung duties ko na pwedeng Bus. Analyst, Sys. Analyst at Support Engineer. Dito lang naman sa 3 occupations nag-lalaro. And siyempre hindi pwede 3 occupations inominate so I have to pattern my COE to match only one occupation and Sys. Analyst yung closest I believe.
Thoughts and feedback po?
Thank you!!

I'm planning to apply for ACS assessment din but under Sys. Analyst and kinda the same dilemma.
I'm not 100% but if mag aapply ka under BA, I think you need at least 3 years of solid experience being a BA to qualify sa skilled migration points.

Sa mga nag pa assess as System Analysts, may I request a copy of the COE you submitted to ACS? Yung duties and responsibilities lang sana...
I requested for my COE sa company ko kaso sakin daw manggagaling yung duties and responsibilities.
Ang ilalagay ko yung nasa CV ko pero natatakot ako na baka yung wordings ko hindi mag match sa duties/RR sa ANZSCO kaya naghahanap sana ako ng reference ng mga nagsubmit na, especially yung suitable yung assessment.
Maraming salamat po!!

I went to the ACS online application form and it seems I'm being asked to pay the fee again to submit. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but Isn't the validation of the skill assessment good for 2 years? Meaning I should be able to get reevaluated for free within that 2 year span?
Anybody here submitted new docs after a year?
