@Supersaiyan @carlosau Employment reference letter or COE as what you guys refer to might not be the one you need( I refuse to use the term COE since this is different to a reference letter and it’s not what ACS requires). If you’re working from home I assume you would be self employed? Then it means you need stat declaration from your clients. All the best.

Supersaiyan · May 2019

@RheaMARN1171933 thanks for the insights ma'am. Appreciated much! God bless.

carlosau · May 2019

@RheaMARN1171933 @Supersaiyan Hi guys, as per my experience, the docs I used for ACS and the actual lodgement was the COE provided by the companies I worked for. As long as it follows the ACS format, it should be accepted.

I have 2 companies that do not allow COEs to be formatted so what I did was ask for an affidavit from my managers that I have worked for them and added it to the generic COE the company provided. Hope this helps!

superluckyclover · May 2019

@RheaMARN1171933 were you able to handle clients who did not claim for work experience?

Supersaiyan · May 2019

@carlosau thank bro.

RheaMARN1171933 · May 2019

@carlosau you’ve definitely done the right thing. If those managers were able to provide reference letters on letterheaded papers from the companies you have worked for, that would suffice also. No affidavit required at all. No COE needed as this isn’t what ACS asks for, an employment reference letter instead. Been submitting similar client cases too many times and I find it a common term used by Filipino clients and often times I have to correct and explain the difference between COE and employment reference letter. Hope that helps.

RheaMARN1171933 · May 2019

@superluckyclover what do you mean? minimum work experience is needed depending on the qualification for the application to be successful otherwise no point applying, will only be a waste of time and money and I won’t take in the case since I could tell already from the preliminary assessment I’ve done that the person won’t even qualify. I hope I’ve addressed your question.

superluckyclover · May 2019

@RheaMARN1171933 like po sa case ko, I took professional year for computer science/IT graduates kaya ako na-qualify as Analyst Programmer. I'm not claiming points po kasi for work experience so I was thinking kung need ko pa mag submit ng COE or payslips, ATO documents? Or baka mas maging complicated lang po?

RheaMARN1171933 · May 2019

@superluckyclover I don’t quite understand. Are you referring to skills assessment or visa application?

superluckyclover · May 2019

@RheaMARN1171933 sorry for the confusion, yes, 189 visa application

RheaMARN1171933 · May 2019

@superluckyclover if there’s nothing to claim then there’s nothing to prove. But I could imagine your points wouldn’t be as high so don’t fixate yourself with a 189 Visa. Good luck

superluckyclover · May 2019

@RheaMARN1171933 thank you po!

carlosau · May 2019

@RheaMARN1171933 Unrelated question. I saw that the invites for April went down drastically, I believe it was just 300 invites. Will this change at the start of the Fiscal Year, or is Australia really adamant in ramping down invitation/immigration numbers?

RheaMARN1171933 · May 2019

@carlosau well, we can only speculate on these things. One thing is for sure, the immigration is reducing migrant intakes because they’ve reached the target number sooner than expected when they forecasted it during the Howard government. They are now favouring applicants to move away from the cities hence the reason why 189 Visa isn’t the easiest anymore.

carlosau · May 2019

@RheaMARN1171933 Thanks! Glad to secure our 189 last feb before they really made it hard to get it.

segfault27 · June 2019

Patambay po. Developer Programmer here na kakalodge ng EOI last June 25 lang. 70 points lang naclaim ko for 189. Slim po ba chance na mabigyan ng invite? Sa Januray 2020, magiging 75 ako dahilsa work exp. Though parang slim pa rin kasi 80 na yung naiinvite. Tingin nyo po ba I should also apply for a 489 as well?

Ang worry ko sa 489 yung financial chorva eh. Meron po bang nakapag 489 dito? Pwede pong patulong kung pano po naging lakaran sa pagbibigay ng mga financial documents. Ano mga docs pnrovide nyo? Thanks po sa sasagot!

Pwede mo check Iscah link na to kapatid. Tama, medyo slim chance ngayon kasi 75 yung prorated score and 80 nga yung naiinvite nila ngayon. You can chek this link for the estimate kung kelan ka possible mainvite. http://www.iscah.com/4279-2/
I suggest gawa ka lang EOI for 189, 190 at 489 para more chances of being invited.

i_am_ybba · July 2019

Hi magtatanong lang po kung pno magpa-assess sa ACS? Enough na po ba yung 4yrs exp? Graduate po yung brother ko ng Bs information system. Mag4 tears na po sya s work nya as abap/sap developer.. anu po kya anzco code nya pag nagpaassess sya? Maraming salamat po..

Hi All,

Glad to say na finally, nagrant na visa namin. Keep working hard! From 70 points, minake sure ko na before ako mag 33 (-5 pts) nakuwa ko yung superior english. I was 80 and 85 when I got the invite.

From my experience, hindi ako nainvite with 70 for 189 and 75 for 190 though I waited for almost a year. So if may itataas pa points, take that opportunity.

Mag iistart na ulit ang fiscal year so I think luluwag na sila sa invitations. Magandang sign yung hindi na nagfa-fluctuate ang number of invites. Stay put na lang sya sa 2500. Goodluck!

Thanks! And if you have questions just send me a message.

Grabe na pala ang taas ng points na required ngaun para ma invite? Bigla akong nawalan ng pagasa para sa kapatid ko ah.

Anyway Good luck sa mga nag iintay ng invite at grant.

Sobrang taas na. Kung hindi pa ako mag 80/85 di ako maiinvite.

Parang ang hirap makakuha ng ganyan kataas na pts ah. Need talaga mataas na score sa english test?

Right now mukhang ganyan ang trend ng naiinvite. Almost a year akong 75 sa 190 hindi nainvite sa kahit anong state. 70 ako sa 189 wala ding invite. Pro rata pala ako. 261313 (Software Engineer)

My advise is get Superior and if superior na and di pa rin mainvite, look for other options. Mahirap talaga sya. Also, may changes this coming November. Look for options best suited to your situation.

Andito naman na ako. Nagulat lang ako na ganyan na kataas ang required pts para ma invite.

Concern ko lang yung kapatid ko na pinapag apply ko din mukang nde niya kakayanin ung ganyan kataas na pts since bawas nadin pts niya dahil sa age.

Anyway, Good luck sa BM move. malapit lapit na. Sydney ba?

If I were you. I'll go for Melbourne or kung saan ka madami kakilala. For sure naman makakahanap ka work dun. Ang mahirap yung ma homesick at ma bored sa bagong lugar na wala ka masyadong kakilala. Pero sabagay madami ding pinoy dito sa Sydney tapos pde ka mag bakasyon sa Melb since may mga kakilala ka dun and friends mo pde din pumunta sayo sa Sydney. But again it's your decision. Syempre importante ung sure na trabaho. hehe

Yes sir, yun din iniisip ko. Kasi may asawa't anak ako. Pero sabi ng friends ko sa Melb, the fact na tinatawagan ako kahit nasa Pinas ako, goes to show na ok ang market ngayon. Nung time daw nila, wala ni isang tawag while they were in SG. Nung nakalapag lang sila Melb, saka nagkaroon ng interviews.
