Imo mukhang mahirap ilusot ito, pwede naman bank statement kung walang payslip, pero yun nga you need 2 forms of payment that covers the beginning and the end of your employment.

Hello again, for the Non-standard COE, ung roles and responsibilities lang ba mapprovide? Hindi kaya iforce yung full time basis and hrs per week?
Joined: Mar 02, 2023
Meron naman yung sakin. Have you provided them a list of information ACS needs on the COE?

I just hope they live up to the expectations, given na mag taas sila ng presyuhan (though, I personally somehow welcome the multiple ANZSCO codes in one application. At least, tatlo agad yung options mo to get on board. More than that, may mga overlapping job codes kasi and I guess it makes sense for those people who has transitioned to more roles than the ordinary.).

Nagulat rin ako dyan. Now it makes sense why they slowed down before, let alone the "errors" in the assessment shared by many here previously.

Hi all good day. Any self-employed applicant here? Just wanted to ask if nakagawa ba kayo ng Self Statutory Declaration using myGov? Kasi parang hindi pa ako pwede magapply ng stat dec using myGov kasi I can't upgrade to standard pa. Only way lang ba is to sign it to an attorney na recognized ng AU Embassy?

Share ko lang experience ko baka makatulong.
Last June 2023 we arrived here in Melbourne as student visa, yung partner ko yung student so may full working rights ako. I have 7 years exp as network engineer. I was unemployed for four months, multiple rejections even sa mga odd jobs. Nakaka-abot ako ng final interview pero in the end iba ang pinipili nila and generic lang lagi ang reason nila na mas fit yung ibang candidate. Worst experience ko is tanggap na ko sa role pero after few days, na hold yung role at hindi na ko nabigyan ng offer. Yung ibang company ang hanap nila is PR kasi ang industry is security/defence that requires security clearance which only PR/citizen can get it. I cannot say if they prefer may local experience since nakakaabot naman ako sa technical interview pero baka factor yun kaya hindi ako nakukuha after ng final interview. After 4 months of job hunting, natanggap ako sa Woolies(grocery) part time kung saan di ko inayos yung interview lol..Then few weeks later, natanggap na ko as contractor sa same company ko sa pinas, gusto nila ko since galing na ko sa same company, pero yung role is L1 tech support. Lakasan lang ang loob talaga, maraming depressing and heartbreaking moments, yung feeling namin wala na kami pambayad ng rent at groceries, pero kapit lang.

Hala, so ung date format pala ng references is DD/MM/YYYY sabi sa documents nila. Eh ung mg employment references ko complete (e.g. January 1, 2010). Nagmamatter kaya ang hindi pagfollow ng date format? Shaks di ako nagbabasa.

Ask ko lang yung sa pag-upload ng PDF as evidences, for example sa Experience & Payment Evidence Documents, dapat ba hiwa-hiwalay na PDF for bank statement (employment start), bank statement (employment end), payslip (start and end), tax records (start and end), or dapat basta tungol sa salary ng isang company, isang PDF file nalang lahat yan? thank you.

The dates on my employment reference were in complete format (e.g. 1 January 2010, January 1, 2010) in contrast to what is mentioned on the ACS manual that dates should be DD-MM-YYYY. All required details are already included on the letter. It is just that the date format is incorrect. Would this affect the outcome? Does the format matter that much? note my application has already been lodged. (sadly T.T)

This should be okay. Some of my references were not in the ACS suggested format, same din as yours na complete. Okay naman.

Asking for advice lang, I'm currently preparing my ACS requirements but I'm also interviewing for a new job, should I just wait na makalipat ako before submitting for ACS? I heard na matagal kasi processing ng ACS so I want to do it asap but hindi ko sure ano yung consequences if I submitted for ACS this month then mag transfer ako tk a new job. How will it affect my EOI lodging if when mag lodge ako different na employer ko?

Hello, sorry if this was asked before, I have BS in Electronics Engineering with PRC license but my experience is not alligned to my degree and more on IT Network Security (8 years total experience). Can I still get points for Educational Qualifiation if I proceed my skill assessment through ACS? Also, ano po yung ma recommend nyo na occupation visa based sa education and work experience ko? Thank you in advance!

if you already have all the reqs, apply with your current job tapos blank lang yung end date mo. continue with your interviews.
ACS will launch their new application process this month, faster outcomes in as little as 15 days.
baka mauna pa yung new process bago ka makalipat.

Hello, what would happen if sa ACS assessment ko yung employment history is until yung current ko lang? Then the time na ilodge ko nasa different company na ko, wala naman siyang problem?

then put an end date to your employment. lodge your EOI, you mean? just update your EOI for any changes. wala naman yun problem.

Yun na lang po kasi kailangan ko para kay ACN, 🥲
May 12 days pa ako para makahanap nung document

for #2, yes. I also included the contribution page.
For #3, 10years ago din yung first job ko. I provided SSS as my 1st payment evidence then for the 2nd evidence was yung email from HR that stated they could no longer provide the copy of payslips and ITR because it has already been more than 10years.
Na-assess successfully naman yung 1st job ko.

Thank you! @sunkissedbella17 and @aethos
I have few questions na lang po.
1. Nalito ako sa employment reference need pa ba yung salary and benefits sa guidelines kasi wala pero sa example ni ACS meron.
2. Sa freelance/contractor positions ko, as per ACS, need ng employment reference detailing dates(start and finish) and hours work per week. So I need to request for the job description to be included? (I doubt kasi ilalagay nila pa eh)
Salamat po ulit!

Yung isang COE ko wala salary and benefits, cos our HR followed yung provided ko na guideline ni ACS, na assess sya successfully. Important yung job description cos that’s where they will base kung relevant ba ung experience mo sa ANZCO that you’re applying.

ACN employee here. You can request a Non-standard COE that shows the needed details ni ACS. it will take 5 to 7 business days though.

Hello all, paano kayo naggawa ng self statutory letter? I have a freelance exp kase. I already have my ITR and 2307 as proof of payment and letter from accountant and sa client, pero yung self-statutory letter paano po? Hindi ko magawa sa mygov e kasi hindi standard yung status ko dun. need na ba ipanotaryo sa embassy lawyer? Thanks po
