Skilled Migration Points Test Under SkillSelect (Point System on July 2012)

Metaform · September 2012

@LittleBoyBlue Baligtad naman ang situation ko - Nakakapag-upload ako sa ecom nang walang problema, pero wala pa akong acknowledgment letter and Application Received pa rin ang status (by now dapat In Progress na yun). Try mong i-send documents mo sa gsm.documents[at]immi.gov.au sabihin mo na lang na ayaw gumana sa website.

LittleBoyBlue · September 2012

@Metaform salamat salamat, nag-email na nga rin ako, mdyo mabagal lang ang response. Malapit na yang sayo, may case officer ka na eh, sana ma-assign na rin case officer sakin.

@sofabed - Meron na po nakakuha ng invitation to apply. As far as I can remember, may iilan din nakakuha ng 190 invitation naman. yung 189, there were at the 70 points level as of last Sept 1 na draw.

Gaano katagal ang reply nila? Well it really depends on the quality of your EOI. If nasa 75 and above ka, sure ball yan na makakuha ka ng invite by Sept 15. If nasa 70 and below ka, you may have to wait a bit.

Getting picked it a combination of (1) how good your EOI is and (2) how earlier did you submit compared to other applicant who have the same points as you...

Goodluck!!

LittleBoyBlue · September 2012

I confirm yung sinabi ni @psychoboy , I got an invite last September 1, 70 points lang ako (80 sana kaso late na dumating remarking score ko sa IELTS). Nag-submit ako ng EOI July 17. I agree dun sa estimate ni @psychoboy, 75 points is a good ballpark figure para ma-invite ka, at least comfortable ka na nun. 75 and below (katulad ko), mapapa-cross fingers ka na lang every 1st and 15th of the month hehe.

@LittleBoyBlue

hello po... hope you can provide insights... just check my ACS application status and nasa stage 4 na xa... would you know how long does it usually take them to assess and provide feedback of the results?

cchamyl · September 2012

@the_BuGS

hello... nakita ko kac ang code mo is 261112... ano work mo?

LittleBoyBlue · September 2012

@cchamyl yung akin nun, mdyo old school process pa, ngayon kasi lahat online na sa ACS. Yung friend ko, same category mo (systems analyst), in less than a month lumabas na result. If I were you, kung positive ka naman sa outcome ng assessment mo, book ka na IELTS. If your degree is related to computing and enough experience mo, most likely approved na yan ng ACS.

cchamyl · September 2012

@LittleBoyBlue

thanks... ano yung occupation nung friend mo na nagpa-assess as systems analyst... nagre-review pa kac ako for IELTS... try ko mag take this october...

stolich18 · September 2012

@cchamyl
yung sakin parang less than a month, actually parang 2.5 weeks lang after ng Stage 4 ung final result.

LittleBoyBlue · September 2012

@cchamyl systems analyst / IT change analyst. If you plan to take sa October, i-book mo na rin, mdyo mabilis maubos ang slot sa IELTS.

cchamyl · September 2012

thanks @stolich18 and @LittleBoyBlue

grabe tong waiting game na to... inuubos yung lakas mo... ahahaha... nagwait na lang ako ng results tapos book by october... gusto ko kac magprepare talaga for the IELTS para makakuha ng 8... ma-maximize yung points... nde pa talaga ako nag aaral... nakailang practice test pa lang ako... kelangan ko pa i-practice yung time limit... any pointers?

cchamyl · September 2012

@LittleBoyBlue ganun ba... kala ko same kami... nagpa-assess kac ako as systems analyst... yung skill kac nya halos kuha ng job description ko... actually same cla ng ICT Business Analyst... pero kac para saken yung BA nde same ang gnagawa ng Functional Analyst which is yung line of work ko... kaya sobra ako nalito... with God's mercy sana maging positive yung assessment...

LittleBoyBlue · September 2012

@cchamyl ako business analyst, share naman ng ceiling ang business analyst at systems analyst (1800 per year). Importante ma-approve ka ng ACS, then halos dirediretso na yun. On IELTS, get yourself familiar sa idioms, it helps a lot sa writing and speaking. I used yung reviewer na published by Cambridge, and i-hinto muna ang panonood ng TFC and kausapin mo na lahat ng english speaking friends mo araw-araw starting now.

In my view, kung ICT related course mo (ECE ako ha, approve pa rin ako), then enough experience mo, mataas na chances mo ma-approve sa ACS. Ang importante sa ACS eh yung description ng reference mo sa work mo is aligned sa definition nila ng systems analyst.

And yes, the waiting game sucks, ako nga di pa makapag-attach ng documents sa eVisa dahil sa system problem nila pero hopefully, pinagdadasal namin na everything will be smooth from this point onwards.

cchamyl · September 2012

@LittleBoyBlue

hahaha... cnabi mo pa... actually ni-raise ko na yung question kung san nag-fall na job code ang SAP Functional Analyst... whether sa 261111 or sa 261112... dun ako talaga natagalan... kac kung i-check mo yung job description nung dalawa wala maxado difference... ang ending... opted to go for the 261112 code...

@cchamyl

Hello po, I work as a Finance Manager for 3 years now but Management Accounting ang course na tinapos ko, pwede ba akong magpa-assess nyan sa CPA Australia or saan kaya pwedeng magpa-assess kung sakaling hindi pupwede sa CPA Australia?

CPAA / IPA / ICAA can be able to certify your skills - check on the individuals sites to see what are your options for your possible nominated occupation.

goodluck!

TasBurrfoot · September 2012

I have a question - come application of visa, in the event that you cannot be able to provide a document from previous company that stated your job responsibility, will DIAC give you points for job responsibility placed in the form of a statutory declaration/affidavit?

Cheers guys!

LittleBoyBlue · September 2012

@psychoboy Usually, yung skills assessment body will also note yung professional years mo. Ang nakalagay kasi sa manual "Your relevant Assessing Authority may also be able to provide an opinion on your employment claims." Yung sakin, ang nilagay ng ACS is 1) qualified ako for my skills 2) ano equivalent sa AQF ng degree ko 3) employment experience calculation

May ganitong note yung assessment ko "Your ICT skilled employment experience has been calculated as follows on the basis of full time employment of at least 20hrs per week:"

I guess ang gusto ko sabihin, kung yung experience mo na-assess na rin ng skills assessment body, mas madali i-prove sa DIAC.

hotshot · September 2012

@psychoboy : yup. tama po si @LittleBoyBlue. sa ACS skills assessment result, maglalagay sila ng parang calculation/summary of number of years and months per each employment. so from there, makikita na ng DIAC yun.

TasBurrfoot · September 2012

@hotshot & @LittleBoyBlue - salamat guys!!

bmc_cpu · September 2012

@the_BuGS Kind of, kasi mas malaki ang points na makukuha mo. 10 points din ang dagdag if ever.

LittleBoyBlue · September 2012

@bmc_cpu ang bilis ng acknowledgement mo, sakin 10 days na wala pa acknowledgement. Pag na-acknowledge ba dun na ibibigay yung mga documents na kailangan mo pa i-complete like health, police clearance, etc. etc.?

bmc_cpu · September 2012

@LittleBoyBlue dalawang emails yung dumating sa kin. Yung huli naka attached dun Health Examination List (containing the Health Request ID). Wala namang advice na gawin agad yung medicals or pcc's. Pero nakalagay naman ksi sa DIAC na pwede nang magproceed sa medicals mga 190 applicants pag nakapag lodge na kasi within 4 weeks naman CO allocation.

LittleBoyBlue · September 2012

@bmc_cpu salamat! good luck, kaunti na lang at almost finish line ka na. acknowledgement na lang hinihintay ko, mahaba-haba talaga dapat pasensya mo sa application na to.
