Australian Computer Society Skills Application

Manghihingi lang po sana ng opinion about the ACS assessment result that I have received recently. Would you ask them why the 6 years deductions instead of only 5 years or it is what it is?

-I came from section 3 school, BS-IT, code nominated is 263111 (Computer Network and Systems Engineer)

-My result was "skills suitable for migration" and AQF Diploma with a major in computing.

I can get 10 points for work experience kung 5 years lang sana ang ibinawas nila.

Maraming salamats for any inputs and it will be very much appreciated! Para dun sa mga always active and walang sawa sumagot to help others, God Bless you more!

@athan_au Most likely, the reason would be BS-IT lacks core subjects required for 263111.

Sa ACS guidelines, makikita mo dun kung ano yung mga core subjects na required. Compare it with your TOR and verify if more than 25% of your TOR comprises of 263111 core subjects.

If you ask them, ito ang isasagot nila sayo:

"Dear athan_au,

Thank you for your email.

As per the Skills Assessment Guidelines for Applicants;

The “Skill Level Requirement Met Date” will be noted on your ACS result letter and will be determined by the outcome of the suitability criteria.
All relevant work experience completed after the “Skill Level Requirement Met Date” will be considered “Skilled Employment” and eligible for points under the skilled migration points test.
The work experience required to meet the suitability criteria is NOT included as “Skilled Employment” and is NOT eligible for points under the skilled migration points test.

The date provided in your skill assessment result letter is the date you have met the ACS requirements.

As your Bachelor of Science has been assessed as being comparable to an AQF Diploma degree with a major in computing that is not closely related to the nominated occupation, you are required to demonstrate 6 years of relevant experience.

Please refer to the Summary of Criteria.

After this date you may be able to claim points for your experience with the Department of Immigration – please contact them for further information.

Please let me know if you have any further questions."

I know kasi like you, nagtanong rin ako. After ko ma-receive yan, nireview ko yung TOR ko and realized na hindi ko na lang iko-contest kasi mahina yung kaso ko. Sayang ang A$395.

athan_au · January 2017

That's very helpful! I think you just save me a lot of time and $$. :-)

Thank you Sir @rich88! God Bless

Hi guys! pa help naman po. Im gathering requirements na po kasi and yung mga previous company ko hindi daw nagbibigay ng COE w/ JD. Meron ba kayo sample ng statutory declaration? pwede po humingi? pa sign ko lang to sa manager ko dati diba?hnd na po need ng COE? TIA

auitdreamer · January 2017

@iska03 Yung isang previous company ko din hindi nagbibigay ng COE with JD. Get the basic COE from your company because you'll still need to submit this and just request your manager/superior to sign a Stat Dec/Affidavit with your JD.

iska03 · January 2017

@auitdreamer thank you po sa response. bilis ah

ok will wait parin po for COE tagal kasi nong process ng HR cguro mga 1-2mos.

iska03 · January 2017

auitdreamer · January 2017

@iska03 Wow ang tagal! Baka pwede mo silang ma-kulit para bumilis. Hehehe!

Yung signature,
1. click mo yung username mo sa top right corner ng website na toh.
2. Tapos may makikita kang button na 'Edit profile', click mo yun.
3. Pag ka click mo nun, may makikita kang 'Signature Settings' na link sa bandang left side ng page.
4. May lalabas na text box kung san mo pwedeng lagay timeline mo.
5. Pag natapos kang magcompose ng timeline mo, just click Save.

After nyan, makikita na yung signature mo sa mga post mo.

Hello everyone gusto ko humingi ng opinion ko ilalaban ko pa ba tong sagot sakin ng Case Officer ko regarding sa degree ko. Iniisip ko kung gagastusin ko pa yung $395 ko kahit ganito yung reply nya sakin. Tingin nyo ba worth it pang ilaban to?

Section 3 pala yung school ko. salamat sa sasagot.

Dear Peter

Thank you for your email.

Your Bachelor has been assessed in alignment with the Australian national education standards and your education institution.

As per the Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) your Bachelor degree is comparable to an AQF Diploma.

iska03 · January 2017

@auitdreamer Tagal nga po process nila. Ask ko din iba employee ganun talaga ka tagal.

iska03 · January 2017

guys pahingi po sample ng stat dec. if meron kayo jan

pissedball · January 2017

@iska03 you can find sample on web. There's no standard format, so long there's space for notarial stamp.

pissedball · January 2017

In the absence of JD on COE:

1. Make COE with JD and have it signed by manager or supervisor or SENIOR EMPLOYEE.
2. Make Statutory Declaration. If 2 or more COE without JD, you can make 1 stat dec for all COE withouth JD.
3. Attach the COE from HR

In the absence of COE:
1. Submit employment contract, pay slips, employment memo, and any correspondence related to the stated job.
2. Make statutory Declaration - state reason/s, include JD.

State Nomination 190: Most states require higher English score. With stiff competition, your points should be 65 or higher in order to be picked from the pool.

Independent 189: Invitation is based on ranking - the higher the points, the higher the chance to be picked from the pool.

Good morning!

question lang sa gantong scenario:

if ever po ba before maglodge ng visa, nagpalit ng work, need ulit mag pa assess?

or mas safe kung after maglogdge ng visa and then saka lumipat ng work?

or pinaka-safe magtiis muna hangang mavisa-grant saka lumipat ng work? hehe

salamat!

salamat!

@pumpupkiks pwede ka naman lumipat ng work before visa lodging, however yung lilipatan mo should be tagged as "not related" na since your new job is not assessed. If you are claiming for points, as long you have proof with your current assessed work - then you are fine.

Just my 2 cents...

pumpupkiks · January 2017

@SAP_Melaka ahh akala ko need magtiis. hehe salamat and goodluck sa visa nyo!

Sid Lim · January 2017

@Heprex hahahaha ang tawa ko sa linya mo brother.. mas mahirap ngayon kesa nung nakaraan mo? naku mukhang kailangan ko ng matinding review nito.

iska03 · January 2017

Meron pa pala ko problema sa COE ko

. naka indicate kasi dun kung para san gagamitin. Hindi ko naman pwede sabihin for skills assessment.Plan ko sana submit na muna yung mga COEs from my previous company then pa update ko na lang ACS pagresign na ko sa current. para alam ko na sana kung ilan ma deduct sakin. Ok po ba to? Any suggestions?

mmuela · January 2017

Mga sir at madam,

I got my result from ACS for Business Analyst and unfortunately, it's NOT closely related. Their recommendation was 263212 - ICT Support Engineer which is under CSOL.

Ask ko lang po, if in case na i-push ko ang 263212 and so far SA - Adelaide lang po ang State na may nomination. Kapag na-approve po ba ako, does it mean na I need to stay in SA-Adelaide for a year before ako makapah-apply sa ibang state?

Patulong naman po sa ibig sabihin ng state nomination. Salamat!

rich88 · January 2017

@mmuela you need to stay and work in adelaide for 2 years before moving to another state. May thread po tayo for state nomination. Search nyo lang po

mmuela · January 2017

@rich88 finally got my ACS Result.
Your skills have been assessed to be suitable for migration under 263212 (ICT Support Engineer) of the ANZSCO Code.
Your Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from [School] completed March 2008 has been assessed as comparable to an AQF Diploma with a major in computing.
The following employment after July 2014 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately skilled level and relevant to 263212 (ICT Support Engineer) of the ANZSCO Code.

5 years yung nabawas sa work experience ko. OK lang ba na mag-apply na ako for EOI kahit na 2years lang yung maccredit sa work experience? or better to wait until July 2017 para aabot yung 3 years?

Kung mag-superior ako sa PTE, then I have 65points.

rich88 · January 2017

@mmuela ok lang kahit ngayon ka na mag submit ng eoi. Automatic naman mag uupdate yan once mareach mo yung 3 years work exp.

mmuela · January 2017

Thanks @rich88! sayang din kasi yung 5points kapag nareach yung 3years work experience. Well, sana palarin sa 65points for 190 VISA sa NSW.

rich88 · January 2017

@mmuela check nyo sa mga job posting sites if maraming open na positions para sa job nyo. Mahirap na ma-lock sa NSW for 2 years dahil hindi sila nagbibigay ng release letter.

ladymamba24 · January 2017

Hi guys! Paano kapag BS Computer Science graduate pero hindi nakapagwork ng related sa course nya? May ibang way pa ba para makakuha ng points sa education? Anong assessing body yung pwede nya pag-assessan halimbawa makapili sya ng ibang occupation from list na hindi related naman sa natapos nya? Kasi kapag sa ACS for sure hindi sya suitable for migration.

Sorry if magulo yung question ko.
