Thank you so much everyone for all the encouragement and tips. I have contacted na a number of migration agencies. Wala pa response since weekend ngayon. Hopefully by Monday meron na. I will make sure to update this thread how things go so others on the same boat may also be guided.

Hi!! Thank you!! Such a relief to know that your friend was notified and was given a chance to offset the points from a different category. Yun ung pinaka worry ko actually, na baka direcho refusal pag may nakitang discrepancy. Happy to know that the COs may actually contact us pala talaga and give chances. I'm feeling hopeful about this.

Noted po sir. So far lahat ng migration offices na kinontact ko puro MARA. Pumipili din po ako ng lawyer nila na Filipino with hopes na baka mas ilaban nila for me dahil kapwa Pinoy. Sana, sana po talaga maging successful. Thank you po!!

Yes po. May 1 yr+ of other related experience pa po ako na hindi assessed ng ACS. Ito po ung current job ko.
During the time kasi na nagpa-assess ako sa ACS, kakalipat ko lang sa company na to. So wala pa ko ITR here that time and payslip parang 1 month pa lang noon.
Now naka 1yr+ na ko dito. May ITR na din ako from last year and payslips as payment evidences na required ng ACS.
I'm super hopeful na positive assessment to. And if it is, makakatawid ako from 3-5 years to 5-8 years na bracket. So dagdag points to.

I think ipa assess mo na ulit with updated work exp then maybe convince or maybe theres a way na e honor ang bachelors degree mo sa pinas as comparable sa au bachelors degree. Then submit statutory dec for honest mistake and submit the form for incorrect info statement para at least mas clear sa CO 😊 i hope maging ok po 🙏🏻🙏🏻 laban lang kayang kaya yan 😊

You’ve reached out to me on LinkedIn…I read your post re work experience, might be your saving grace but can’t tell for sure until I see documents. Email me [email protected] and I’ll ask my colleague to squeeze you in for an appointment via zoom ASAP. I’ll be flying to Sydney soon so schedule is tight my end.

Just sharing this post 👆 I made on LinkedIn weeks back as might be relevant to most here….
Honest mistake can be very costly. Might make sense to get your documents checked before it’s too late.

Hi can I check what decision you made regarding your application? nag withdraw po ba kayo or tinuloy niyo?
Joined: Jan 25, 2023
Hi. I have not withdrawn my application. I did a consultation with @RheaMARN1171933 and found a silver lining. I declared the mistake and recommended a way to offset the overclaimed 5 points through my latest work experience that was not yet included in the ACS assessment. Application status is still Received at time of writing. Hopefully all goes well.

Congratulations!! Which part of the EOI did you overclaim points - sa employment ba or iba pa (educ/english)?
So say I overclaimed +5 points for NAATI. Pwede ko syang ioffset ng employment points? Please enlighten us here. I understand this will not be applicable to everyone but this is insightful for those who may be in the same boat.
