Question naman, iba't ibang employer yan? @rheirhei
So humingi ka ng tig-iisang reference letter from them?

Hi,
I'm planning to update my ACS assessment po.
Double check ko lang po.
For employment:
-COE with JD
-Payment Evidence (could be SSS & Pagibig or Payslip)
For Qualification:
-Diploma
-TOR
All documents must be certified true copies.
Tama po ba? or am I missing something?
TIA

Hi Everyone, quick question. I asked my previous manager to create a statutory declaration for me and she is very happy to do it. However, nung chineck namin employment date nya til Feb 2018 nya lang kame ni manage and I resigned March 2019. Will this be an issue?

Hi All,
So for payment evidence, I can use SSS/Pagibig & Payslip.
Certified true copies are no longer needed.
clear on that.
I think I'm all good to submit my ACS assessment.
Anything else I need to consider?
@casssie thank you for answering.

If you can get tax statement every year (BIR Form 2316), that's also a plus. Yung akin kasi may pirma ng company accountant.

Yup. You need another stat dec from another manager to vouch for you from the day of your previous manager’s resignation, until your resignation day. Basically, all employment episodes need to be accounted for.

Hi All, another question po. Sorry dami tanong.
Paano po yung format na sinbmut nyo sa ACS? For example:
Company A_Name.pdf ( Magkakasama lahat ng requirements sa isang PDF)
Or
Company A_Reference Letter
Company A_Payment evidence
Which is better? Thanks a lot!

Hi, I just want to share my experience
Finally, I have received my 189 Visa Grant
ANZCODE : 261312 (Developer Programmer)
Visa Lodge : Dec 13, 2022
Date of Grant: Nov 15, 2023
Points: 90
I have no ICT degree so RPL Pathway ako and walang assessment ang non-ICT degree ko.
6 years ang deduction sa ACS Skills Assessment letter ko which is 5 months na lang matitira sa experience ko. But I claimed all my working experience ignoring the deemed date. This works for me for Visa 189 and RPL pathway. Not sure with Visa 190 and non-RPL pathway. Goodluck to everyone and thanks for this helpful thread.
