only claimed 10 points for work experience, dapat ba 15 based from ACS result letter?

10pts for Gryffindor. Char!

Kung NSW, ako I would follow the deemed date. So 10pts lang. Pero kung tama alala ko, may nagpost yata dito na inalis na yung deemed date reference ng nsw recently lang. So pwede na 15? Di ko na mahanap eh. @Ozdrims hi!

For 189 - ang balita dito sa forum pwede ka magclaim 15points pag ganyan.

NSW no longer make reference to skills assessment results re skilled employment experience. They now refer to the actual migration policy.

yes actually napanood ko kay Carl Conrad stating na NSW is following the rules from immi home affairs..ni-raise ko to sa agent ko ang kaso ang sundin namin kung ano yung deemed date sa ACS Result Letter. so 10 points lng tlaga na-claim namin..thinking of lodging a separate EOI kahit naka agency kami. tsk

Yes maglodge ka ng sarili mo kung wala naman breach or out of scope ek ek sa contract with agent, or better let them know that you plan to. So pag nainvite ka with higher employment points, assist ka pa rin nila ganon. May announcement na naman din. Sana mainvite ka na! Go go go

Unfortunately, against si agent sa pag-claim ng additional points for work experience, reason is that hindi highly relevant yung work experience ko sa bachelor degree kaya ina advise nya na sundin pa din ung deemed sa result letter.

Interesting. Mukhang may point din naman kesa mag overclaim. Mas alam nila details ng work experience mo and degree. Do you agree na hindi relevant?

I think so kasi based sa degree dapat more into coding/programming yung work experience ko para maging highly relevant..though based sa acs result letter nakalagay lng na relevant to anzsco code kaya ayun.

Hello,
meron na po ba dito na nag claim ng points before ACS deemed date for VIC and 189?
My experience started nung 2014-2015 and 2016-2024 (2 employers)
Ok po ba na nilagay ko yung 2014-2015 pero nilagay ko not nominated (hindi po ako nag claim ng points)

Then sa second employer ko nag start ako noong 2016 pero after assessment 2017 yung na-deem.
Question po kung pwede ko i-claim yung 2016 since same employer naman, iisa lang naman po ang pinasa ko na requirements for that employer sa ACS.

Some other things about me: assessed by bachelor degree and all of my experience are closely related sa nominated ANZSCO

nag inquire po ako sa SSA Migration sabi ok lang daw pero gusto ko rin po malaman kung may gumawa nito.

DIY po ako

chaaan1 · October 21

Hello!

Question lang, I've been working kasi as a freelancer for 2 years now. Problem ko is yung ITR ko dahil since nung nag start ako sa freelancing ay hindi na ako nakapag bayad ng tax.

Alam ko kasi yung ITR, payslips at yung employment reference letter ay kailangan para ma check yung salary mo. Pwede kaya eto ipaayos sa accountant or may alternative suggestion kayo na pwedeng ipalit sa ITR?

Thank you!

ACS Assessment

Lumabas na po result ng skills assessment ko and yung sa education equivalent lang sya Diploma. I'm a graduate of BS Computer Engineering and yung school ko po ay nasa section 1. Weird lang bakit Diploma ung na assess ni ACS ?
Nominated ANZCODE is Security specialist , System administrator and NEC Manager
Meron po bang similar case? Did you try to contact and clarify this with ACS ? How as the result?

Hmm…it would say on the outcome letter from which experience they considered relevant to your skills assessment, regardless whether your degree is highly relevant or not.

This is why I stay vigilant on ACS outcomes….they get things wrong at times and it’s too difficult to chase them to raise a query until I escalate it to upper management.

Hello, question lang sa mga may naka experience na mag apply. So I am planning to apply for an assessment sa ACS. My current background: Graduated BS in Information Technology. Then right after I graduated, nagapply agad ako ng work and currently employed ako as a software engineer sa same company now for 2 years and counting.

My question is, qualified ba ako mag apply for an assessment? If yes, what are the chances na positive ang outcome assuming na closely related yung studies, work and nominated work ko? Ang pagkakaintindi ko kasi may idededuct sila na 2 years regardless of background. Thank you

Positive outcome, however, 0 points lang matatangap mo sa work experience, kasi nga, as you have mentioned, may 2 years deduction si ACS dun sa pag assess nila.

Ginanahan ako lalo mag-apply haha. But for deduction of 2 years, hindi ko talaga sure kung regardless of background mag dededuct sila or baka sa mga "not so close" na background lang sila nagdededuct. Pero bago ang lahat, subukan ko muna ang assessment. Thanks you

Question po about lodging ng EOI. I find new ACS assessment format and even ung wordings nila confusing so asking po for your input..

"Your skills have been assessed to be suitable against the requirements for ANZSCO code 263111 Computer Network and Systems Engineer as of 20-Jan-2024."

Education: (I have two Bachelor's Degree)
IT related bachelor's degree 1 taken from Philippines - Only got equivalent to Diploma probably kasi Section 3 ung school ko

My other bachelor's degree taken outside pinas - assessed to be comparable to Bachelor Degree

However, ACS assessed both as not closely related sa ANZSCO code ko which is kinda surprising.

Work experience: Assessed to be closely related . Naka enumerate ung mga employment na included in table format. (15 years)

Questions:
1. Should I include both as bachelor’s degrees in my EOI, or should I only list it as diploma and bachelor’s degree as per the ACS assessment? Also, am I eligible to claim 15 points for education?

For employment history, should I only include the positions that ACS assessed as closely related?
For this line: "Your skills have been assessed to be suitable against the requirements for ANZSCO code 263111 Computer Network and Systems Engineer as of 20-Jan-2024." - ano po ung ibig sabihin nung 20-Jan-2024? Ito kasi ung date kung kelan ko nakuha ung second degree ko. Ibig sabihin po ba counted ung work experience ko prior to this?

Pasencya na po medyo mahaba.. gusto ko lang ma-verify ung understanding ko din. Thank you!!!

As far as the migration law is concerned, those 2 years can be claimed but be prepared to defend your claim if case officer queries it.

Normally po anong supporting documents hinahanap ng case officer pag ganitong case? Thank you po.

Hello po,

Just want to ask regarding claiming of experience sa EOI. Based sa nababasa ko, pwede i-claim as relevant experience yung 2 years na dinededuct ni ACS sa positive skills assessment, especially kung makaka-affect sa points? Currently working for 3 years sa same company and same role after attaining my qualifications (got positive skills assessment back in august).
Mainly concerned with NSW and SA, since may nakalagay na "minimum of three years of skilled employment in their nominated or related occupation within the last 5 years" for SA.

Hi,
Just like to ask for some clarifications.

ACS stated to "C_onsolidate all pages into one PDF document for each qualification and each employment entry_"

Does this mean I am only allowed to upload one file? Cite for example CoE + Paylisps + Tax docs in single file? OR can I upload separately for these documents?

Another concern. For Transcript of Records. The four pages would constitute 20 MB. DO you have any idea if I can upload these pages by part/per pdf?

Nasa DPI settings ng scanner yan kaya malaking anh file size. At least 300dpi yata is acceptable by ACS. Ganon lang ginawa ko.

Kung hindi kakasya sa isang pdf document ang isang employment- hatiin mo into 2 docs. File name ZZZZ part1 ; ZZZZ part2. Ganon.

Hello. Meron na po ba nakapag try dito mag submit ng nag bagong ACS application for the same ANZSCO code even when ACS already came up with the result? But sa new application, reference letter from one of the employer will be revised (to align it with all my other work experience). Hinahabol ko kasi ma claim ung max points because I have this one role na more on network security siya and ung reference letter ko is puros security nakalagay (but i work as network pa rin) kaya siguro di sinama ni ACS sa role ko as network engineer. Kinapos ako ng 8 years dahil dito..

If not, what are my options? Uubra po ba dito ung appeal and submit statutory declaration?
