sorry po..di ko talaga alam ang details, si agent lang ang nagsasabi ng gagawin. then naexplain nya ang conditions sa 491 nung nainvite lang..sobrang risky sa amin ang conditions.

I usually seek further explanation from the case officer. And at all times, they provide the explanation. I never had to appeal cases for my clients. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m asking as a MARA agent hence they take such queries more seriously but I would suggest to ask first before resorting to file for appeal.

if I may ask, ano pong thoughts niyo about claiming the deducted experience? naririnig ko sa iba and even other agents says so... i'm applying for VIC 189 and 190.

I think I’ve made a comment on this before - 189 is ok but be careful with 190 particularly the state criteria.
If I may add, opting to just focusing on one state will disadvantage you. It’s not a matter of choice when it comes to the type of visa and location to apply for, it’s what comes your way.

Hi po, just asking for your advice.
I am a student visa holder here and planning to apply for skill assessment in ACS since I have 4 years experience napo sa PH as software engineer. Planning to apply for DIY.
Na prep ko napo lahat ng requirements aside sa first payslip since hindi na po na provide sa previous company nung nag resign ako. But I have other proof of payment when i started working like mga government tax records. Enough na po kaya yun? Thanks if may maka sagot po.

So safe to claim po sa 189?
Currently nasa VIC na po kasi kami as student visa..

Forget to include State points of 5 ,85 points po kayo for 190
Try getting additional points from your partner via skills assessment if possible that will add up another 5
Nothing much can be done unless add more experience points and increase via postgraduate studies onshore

Question po ulet:
I'm having issues sa pagkuha ng docs in Accenture.
As per agent, pwede daw affidavit lang PERO dapat Manager, TL, or supervisor lag pwede mag-sign.
Yan na lang po ba ang options? Di ba pwede ang senior pero teammate lang, not exactly a person i'm reporting to?
Baka meron po may experience dito?
Thanks

Sa experience ko, ayaw mag sign ng mga kakilala ko sa ACN kasi pinipigilan din sila ng HR to sign the affidavit. So what I did is binigay ko sa kanila yung guideline ni ACS to prove na need ko ng job description sa COE. They required me to send yung job description na gusto ko ilagay sa COE plus approval ng manager level within Accenture na naging Lead or manager mo. Nabigay naman nila yung COE with job description.

winner po ito at nagresponse si ACN ng ganito. in my case, "natrauma" na daw yung TL ko sa pagpirma-pirma..so ang chance lang si yung teammate na naging tropa, pero di ko sya supervisor..nauna lang sya mahire. even managers or AM, di na mahagilap hehe.

Acn rin ako, ang ginawa ko teammate lang pero since years ago na yun, promoted na yung teammate ko to higher level at nilagay ko siya as “team lead” ko…

Your TL's only participation is to approve through his ACN email yun job descriptions mo at sa HR(ExitManagement) mo naman ipapasa. Yung TL mo is still in Accenture ba?
This was HR(ExitManagement)'s response when I asked for the COE with job description:
Initially, my agent asked me to have an affidavit signed by my TL pero he's hesitant. So when he officially declined my request, I went to HR(ExitManagement) and provided the Employment Reference Guidelines from ACS and explained that it's not for VISA purposes at this point and it's not an embassy asking for these. They agreed. They only then asked me to run the job descriptions by a manager na working pa with accenture.
I think the response was pretty standard kasi I asked them about it twice and got the same response. I just explored it further when my TL wouldn't sign an affidavit for me.

Hello po. Ask lang po sana ako about ACS Skills Assessment:
Ilang pages po per career episode ginawa nyo? May format po ba kayong sinunod?
Hindi ko po ma-gets 'tong nakasulat sa guidelines:
Consolidate all pages into one PDF document for each qualification and each employment entry
First job ko po nung 2018 is Accenture pero for 6 months lang. Out of the 6mos, 4mos yung bootcamp, 2 mos actual experience. Wala na po ako contact sa kahit kanino sa team namin before kasi hindi naging maganda treatment nila sa akin that'ts why I left quickly. Should I still include it in my application? Parang ayoko na kasi isama dahil ang hassle lang.
Thank you so much po sa magbibigay ng advice

Hello po!
I'm moving with my wife to AU sometime next month. My wife is the main visa holder (doctor of medicine) while I'm her dependent. I wanted to process all my documents for ACS while nasa Pinas pa.
I'm currently in the works of notarizing one of the "Statutory Declaration or Affidavit of Colleage" that is required. However, I wouldn't process my ACS application until later in the year in order to maximize the points for employment.
Would it be a problem for ACS if the notarized document from Pinas is expired? (based on the notary stamp).
Thanks!
