@waderwander hi po dito po kayo mag backread in case may questions sa ACS. marami pong sasagot sa inyo.. for us po ni partner, humingi kami ng generic COE sa companies na niworkan namin. tapos naggawa kami ng detailed Statutory or Affidavit nakalagay dun ung dapat sana nasa COE. yung detailed job roles/responsibilities. pina approve namin sa dating Team lead/manager na nasa company na un pa din. para verify nila tama naman saka namin pina sya photocopy yung original tapos CTC sa notary. then scan na yung may notary upload sa ACS. Colored photocopy ung may mga color.

Hi question lang po.. nagpa assess nako years ago and at that time Developer Programmer ung mas suitable sa skillset ko nun.. Medyo natagalan un pagprocess ko dahil busy at hirap din makapasa ng IELTS/PTE buti nalang last August nakapasa na.. bali kakasubmit ko lang ng EOI.. Ang tanong ko is possible ba na ipa iba ko yung nominated occupation ko from Developer Programmer into Software Engineer? Kasi sa skillset ko today mas nag ffit sya sa Software Engineer e.. ang kaso nakasubmit nako, baka pag ginawa ko un marereset un pag na process ko na? baka balik assessment nanaman, ganun kaya un? Salamat in advance!

paw07 · October 2016

BTW kaya ko gusto ipapalit sana, may mga nakita kasi ako na Software Engineer ung nominated and 1 month lang after ng submittion nila ng EOI dumating na un invite agad.. Ako kasi nung august 26, 2016 ko pa nasubmit per halos mag 2 months na wala pang invite e, naisip ko baka mas mapabilis kung Software Engineer ung nanominate ko.. Anu po sa tingin nyo?

Question po. I spent 7 yrs sa first company ko, 5 yrs non-IT working exp then 2 yrs IT technical experience. Dapat bang isama pa rin sa COE yung non-IT or pwede ako mag-note sa ACS na they can ignore those positions?

vylette · October 2016

@paw07 ilan na ang points mo ngayon? pagkakaalam ko ang selection is points based and not sa nominated occupation. Sa totoo nga lang pro rata na ang software engineer din kaya hindi narin mabilis mainvite yun unless nsa 65+ points eoi mo. So i think dapat mas focus mo ay mapataas points mo to get an invite faster...my job code is software engineer din and i got 60 pts before. I submitted my eoi with that score last june pa and never got an invite kasi nga mababa points. I aimed for a higher score sa pte and this sept i got my goal score that raised my pts to 70 kaya pagka resubmit ko ng eoi ko with 70 pts na nung sept16 ....sa sept 28 round nainvite na ako agad.

paw07 · October 2016

Hi Vylette, hmmm baka nga un din dahilan bakit matagal sakin.. 60 pts lang, sakto lang e, pagkasabi naman sakin ni agent maximum 2 months hintayin ko for invite, so baka hintayin ko nalang, pero sure ba un? may case kaya na kahit naka abot na ng lodging ng EOI di makareceive ng invite or natagalan ng years? nku wag naman sana laki na ng ginastos namen

rich88 · October 2016

@paw07 Hindi sure ang 2 months for occupations under 2613. Lalo na ngayong 2016 dahil 65 na ang minimum sa job code na yan para ma-invite for visa subclass 189. Options mo are:

1. Try to get band 8 in English to get 20 points.

2. Apply for State Nomination (190). Take note mejo matagal rin to @ 65 (60+5 points from state nomination) points for us ICT professionals. Based sa nakikita ko currently at least 4 to 6 months waiting time. (I got this info from these forums only so take my word with a grain of salt.)

3. If sobrang tagal na at wala pa rin invite, you can try and read about visa subclass 489 (+10 points kasi to pero regional area ka for 2 years minimum and hindi sya PR visa. Though my pathway sya to PR visa once na-satisfy mo yung conditions).

Regarding sa pagpapalit ng nominated occupation from dev/programmer to software engineer, pwede mo naman gawin yan. Pero I don't think may benefit yun dahil:

1. Kung titingnan mo, almost same lang din ang ginagawa ng dalawang occupation na yan. Sobrang related sa isa't isa.

2. Parehas naman sila na nasa SOL.

3. Mas maraming nag aapply ng software engineer kesa dev/programmer (again, i got this info from reading forums so take my words with a grain of salt).

4. Parehas naman na 2613 job codes yan so minimum points of 65 points applies to both.

If you want to pursue it, then you have to get re-assessed again by ACS and submit a separate EOI.

mergetwo · October 2016

When I tried the CC option sa ACS, wala man lang button to proceed with the payment. Does it mean, di pwede magbayad thru CC?

rich88 · October 2016

@mergetwo Meron yan sa baba. CC ginamit ko for payment, Visa to be exact.

Baka bug lang, try to go back to the previous page and click "proceed to payment" again.

vylette · October 2016

@paw07 pagkakaalam ko hanggang ngayon hindi parin nakakausad yung backlog nila ng 60pointers sa 2613 job code which way back from date of lodge na dec2015 pa...isipin mo lahat ng yun muna ang waiting even before they get to your eoi. I suggest na pataasin mo points mo, mas mapapadali ka mainvite nun.

infiniti · October 2016

Quick question, isang COE lang ba ang kelangan ibigay sa ACS? O isang COE sa bawat company na napasukan?

rich88 · October 2016

@infiniti 1 COE per company kung san ka magke-claim ng work experience.

infiniti · October 2016

@rich88 Thanks sa reply.

So kung nag palipat lipat ng company, pano ang magiging approach sa pagpasa ng COE?

vylette · October 2016

@infiniti one COE para sa whole duration na nasa company ka, per company.kung naka apat na company ka, apat na COE with start and end dates.

Hmmm medyo nakakafrustrate naman sila, asang asa pa naman ako na ok na un 60 ko, un pala pag inisip mo technically wala rin syang epek, dapat 65 talaga.. Pag isipan ko pa kung mag exam ulit ako or waiting game nalang, baka mag apply nadin ako sa 190, 489 is negative dahil di pasok un residence nung relative ko sa selected areas e.. di narin ako mag effort sa pagpalit ng nomination. Thanks thanks po sa advices..

ay ganun po ba.. haays, dapat sana baguhin nadin nila un website ng Aus immigration na 60 points at gawin nilang 65, kakafrustrate lang.. salamat po sa reply.

rich88 · October 2016

@paw07 Sa ibang occupation sakto lang yung 60 points. 2613 kasi is pro rata na occupation kaya ginawa nilang 65 yung minimum this year. I think nag start yun nung mga May or June 2016 ata.

Actually nakasulat yan sa DIBP site eh. ito yung link. Nasa pinaka baba yung mga pro rata na occupation. Yung mga pro rata occupation ay yung mga accountants, at IT professionals (network, analysts, software).

Pwede naman kayong mag 190. Tapos habang naghihintay ng invite, review ulit tapos mag exam ulit to get band 8 sa English.

paw07 · October 2016

Tingin mo abutin pa kaya un ng years kung hintayin ung sa 189? Tama ba un nasa isip ko na laging isisingit ung mga matataas ng score, so kung laging may nag aapply ng matataas na score di ka masasama sa batch ng invite kung 60 points ka lang?

rich88 · October 2016

@paw07 Yes, tama ka. Lagi kang masisingitan ng mga applicants na mas mataas ang points sayo. As long as may mag apply na 65 ang points, hindi ka ma-iinvite sa 189.

Also, unless ibaba ng DIBP ang minimum score from 65 to 60, walang maiinvite na applicants na 60 points ang score. This means na marami talagang applicants na 65 pointers.

In this current trend, mukhang wala na maiinvite na 60 pointers unless maubos ang backlog ng mga 65 pointers. Again, this is for ICT occupations.

Try nyo na mag 190. Based sa napapapansin ko, may naiinvite after 4 to 6 months.

mergetwo · October 2016

@rich88 does it mean yung mga 60pts di na nila iniinvite?

rich88 · October 2016

@mergetwo Sa ngayon parang hinde. Inuuna nila ubusin yung mga applicants na 65 points and above. 65 points yung cutoff for ICT professions for the past 5-6 months. Nag start ata to nung May or June 2016, can't remember.

Check the link I provided below, nasa pinaka baba yung points cutoff for pro rata occupations.

loth777 · October 2016

Patulong naman guys..

May nakapag re-assess naba nang ACS dito? I mean EXPIRED na ang ACS result. Do I have to start a new application? or do I have to login to previous application? May nabasa din akong revalidation.

Maraming Salamat!

rich88 · October 2016

@loth777 bro i think new application sya. Pwede mo sya i-link sa previous application mo para yung mga old docs mo nandun pa. I-upload mo nlng yung mga bagong COE mo.

loth777 · October 2016

@rich88 thanks bro! clarification lang, doon box na Linking to an Earlier Application ako mag login, tapos mag create ng new application? babayad naman ako ulit nito bro?

rich88 · October 2016

@loth777 oo. meron dun "Link to previous application" na button. Nagpa-reassess rin ako before. I think parang mas mabilis yung result nung ni-link ko to previous application.. dunno, baka placebo effect lang hehe..

Yes bro, bayad nanaman ulit ng 500 AUD.

loth777 · October 2016

@rich88 ah ok.. pa aunthenticate ko muna ang mga new COE's ko at maghahanap nang 500 AUD

salamat bro!

Ahhh okie, baka mag apply nalang din ako ng 190.. tapos pde ko rin isabay kaya sa 489? plus 10 kasi un so magiging 70 points ako, kala ko kasi nung una required na may relative as sponsor e, its either relative or state pala.. so bali gagawin ko is tatlo ung iaapply ko, visa 190 for 65 pts, 189 for 60 pts and 489 for 70 pts... ok po kaya itong strategy nato? Thanks in advance!

rich88 · October 2016

@paw07 Hindi po PR yung 489 ah.. 4 years temporary visa yun saka regional.. kumbaga hindi kayo pwede mag stay or mag work sa major cities kaya check nyo po mabuti yung demand ng job nyo sa mga regional areas.

Technically, pwede pagsabayin naman sa isang EOI and 189, 190, saka 489.

Kung ako lang naman, baka 189/190 na lang muna. May naiinvite naman na 60+5 points sa 190.. recently may nakita ako nainvite after 4-6 months.
