dreambig · October 2012

@cchamyl Nice!!! Congratulations! I've been following this thread very closely because my partner also submitted his ACS assessment last Sep 25. It is good to know that everyone is getting a positive assessment.

Next na c @stynx then @aprilcruise

Best of luck to all! Hopefully @legato09 will get good news too.

congrats @cchamyl!

May tanong ako ulit. What if dalawa yun naging job mo na magkaibang position. One is Technical Writer-3 yrs and the other one is Software QA-5 yrs. Nominated Occupation mo is Software QA. Kapag ganitong scenario ba Software QA with 5 yrs exp lang ang pwede ma-grant sayo provided na pumasa ka sa assessment nila?

Hindi ko kasi alam kun isasama ko pa ba ipa-assess yun Technical Writing job ko. Help.

Yung 3 years po sa Technical Writer magagamit po ba sa DIAC if in case?

viperbuzz12 · October 2012

@legato09 hindi na kami naginquire s acs. nagdecide na agad kami ni hubby bago pa mag pa assess.

eischied_21 · October 2012

Yung 3 years po sa Technical Writer magagamit po ba sa DIAC if in case?

Hi legato09, ngayon pa lang nagsosorry na ako. Hindi pa kasi masyadong broad ang knowledge ko sa pagapply sa immigration. Tinitingnan ko pa lang yun mga options ko and umpisa pa lang sa pagreresearch. Papano po na magagamit sa DIAC? Pasensya na.

Mag-5 years pa lang kasi yun SW QA exp ko sa Jan 2013. I assume na sa educational qualification ang ibigay saken is AU Diploma lang so need ng 5 years exp po dun dba. Pero overall naman I have more than 8 years work exp na.

stynx · October 2012

hello @eischied_21 mkikisagot lang po ah. kasi sa acs pag nagpaaccess ka kung ano ang nominated occupation na pipiliin mo ay yun ang iaassess ng acs.
sa result na ibibigay ng acs nakalagay kung diploma or bachelors degree ka at ilang years of work experience closely related dun sa nominated occupation mo.
pagdating naman po sa diac, dun ka naman mag base sa assessment ng acs. depende dun kung ilang points ang pwede mong iclaim.

@eischied_21
1) ung work experience na i-assess syo ng ACS should be related/closely related sa nominated occupation mo.. example sa case mo, hindi ma credit ang work exp mo as Technical writer, dahil hindi sya related/closely related sa SW QA (example ko lang ito)..

2) so kung ano ang result ng assessment mo sa ACS it will contain 2 things
-----a) if your degree is equivalent to AQF degree or AQF diploma, remember magkaiba iba yan ng points sa SkillSelect
-----b) they will assess your work exp kung alin lang dun ang ma crecredit, remember iba ang points sa DIAC pag 5 yrs or 8 yrs work experience.

based sa definition nila, they will credit your work experience if its related/closely related to your occupation.. related/closely related means within 1 unit group sa ANSZCO code..
example: software engineer code is 261313, unit code is the first 4 numbers = 2613..
therefore ang macredit lang syo eh ung mga nagstart sa jobcode 2613...
a) Analyst Programmer - 261311
b) Developer Programmer - 261312
c) Software Engineer - 261313

pero again, may statement sa DIAC, Case Officer pa rin ang may final decision kung anu man ang points na ibibigay syo, the ACS assessment will just be a reference..

stynx · October 2012

ay ganun pala yun. hehe thanks sa info @lock_code2004.
so kung yung kunyari po sa akin, ang binigay ni acs sakin ay 5 1/2 years para sa analyst programmer. kunyari lang po ah kc d ko na sinama yung current work ko ngyon as systems analyst kc self statutory yung pinasa ko.
tapos by next year at naglodge kmi sa diac 8 years na ang work exp ko sa IT.
IT associate 2 years
Programmer 1 year
Senior Software eng 2 1/2 years
Systems Analyst by next year 2 1/2 years
ibig po ba sabihin nito pwede ako magclaim ng points na 8years xp? pasencya na. gusto lang po maliwanagan. hehe

lock_code2004 · October 2012

@stynx - yes.. mismo.. ganun na nga... haha..
no worries. di mo kailangan humingi ng pasensya...

question for you: bakit di mo sinama ang current work mo na 2 1/2 yrs?

worry ko lang kasi baka magulat lang ang DIAC CO,
kasi ngaun 5 1/2 lang claim mo from ACS, tpos biglang next year eh 8yrs na?
i mean bkt di mo ipa-assess na 7 1/2 yrs sa ACS.... atleat mas madali ipaliwanag at mas realistic na after several months eh naging 8 yrs na talga ang work exp mo...

stynx · October 2012

@lock_code2004
sinama ko ung current xp ko. kaya ko lang po sinabi na 5 1/2 kc d ko lng kc sure kung iaccept ni acs yung current xp kc self declaration ginawa ko pro pinasa ko din yung welcome letter at latest payslip. nagtataka nga po ako kc d ako hiningan ng additional info or docs basta na lng nagjump ng stage 4 pero sana iconsider nila kc nilagay kong reason sa affidavit na d ako mkahingi sa manager ko kc bka makaapekto sa performance rating ko.

lock_code2004 · October 2012

@stynx gotcha... okay naman pala... ayos na yan..
lapit na rin result mo.. goodluck...

suggestion ko lang, pag sa visa processing na.. hingi ka na lang kahit COE lang na latest..
para makita ng DIAC CO na employed ka pa rin (covering ung claim mo na 8 yrs)...
okidoks..

stynx · October 2012

ok po

salamat XD

Well-explained po. Thanks for being helpful and for patiently answering all the questions. Lucky to be a member of this forum. Bait ng mga Tao.
