Hi mga ka-pinoyau!

I just need clarification on my ACS outcome. All three ANZSCO Codes are suitable and my work experiences have been assessed as closely related. Below is my experience summary:

Company A:
Start: June 2019
End: Nov 2021

Company B:
Start: Nov 2021
End: N/A (Current)

I submitted my ACS application last Feb 2025 and received the outcome today. I just want to have clarification on how many years they deducted from my experience. Below is the message I received from them:

Your skills have been assessed to be suitable against the requirements for ANZSCO code 261312 Developer
Programmer as of 12-Jun-2024.

Does that mean I would have to count my experience starting June 12, 2024? If so, does that mean I still cannot apply for a PR visa since the minimum requirement is to have 3 years of exp? Can someone please explain to me?

Thank you!

You may be able to claim experiences before that date if they are assessed as relevant depending on which visa or state you will apply. Not sure if same pa rin but NSW follows the date deemed skilled, which is the date indicated above. For VIC and visa 189, pwede.

Some may disagree with this but this info is from MARA agents and was suggested by my agent as well. Although you still have to be very careful.

Also, I just got my grant today and we claimed points for relevant experience before the date.

NSW doesn’t follow the deemed skilled date anymore and now refers to the migration policy in relation to claiming of points. You’re correct though, best to be careful in doing this. If one doesn’t understand the policy, best to leave it with the MARA agents to do this because depending on circumstance not all case will be applicable.

Hi guys, any idea po kung anong pwedeng isubmit if hindi na maobtain yung first month of payslip and deactivated na rin yung bank account?

Can I provide the middle and last payslips and other supporting documents such as SSS, pagibig?

Highly appreciate your input! 🙏

Nakahingi pa rin ako kahit deactivated basta within 10years. Pupunta ka lang talaga sa branch of account. Same day nakuha ko. Btw, BDO yun.

Thanks for your affirmation po. I just hope people don't say "no" right away instead of pointing them to those with actual experience and qualifications to give qualified advise kasi this is really possible and just needs careful guidance from experts. As I always said, my agent thought it's okay for me so might as well have your cases analyzed by experts before you go the other way kasi sayang ang points hehehe

I’m not as active here as I used to be kasi super busy…but I try to check in here from time to time. I’ve been in this forum since 2016 and the main reason why I share snippets of general (professional) insights here is to help get people on the right track. Have done the journey many years ago and I know how it’s like for everyone here. This forum is a great source of information but just always be mindful that unless the information comes from the immigration website, the actual policy or from a MARA agent, they are not official information and should proceed with caution.

Thanks for sharing!

Will try this if hindi ako makahingi ng other payment evidence from my previous employer.

Hello,

Tama ba yun gagawin ko?

Context:
I'm from a company na nag jump ng role.
from June 2012 to March 2017 -- QA for Call Center ako

Then the SAME company offered me Jr. QA Engineer role from March 24, 2017 to May 2022.

Now yun nilagay ko lng sa COE ko is yun role ko from March 2017 to May 2022.
Tama ba yun since ang a-applyan ko nmn is Software Tester.

For ACS ba? Pwede yan basta match sa job descriptions sa nominated anzsco mo.
Malayo ba yung roles & responsibilities ng una mong role (QA for call center) sa QA Engineer? Sayang kasi yung from 2015 eh, last 10years naman pwede ipa-assess, and if under same company lang din. Nagbabawas pa usually ang ACS ng 2years.

Since isang company yan pede mo cguro icombine yung roles and responsibilities para covered yung 2012 to 2022..kasi isang reference letter or affidavit lng dn nmn gagamitin mo..ganun ginawa ko sa spouse ko via RPL siya ng ACS skills assessment..wla nmn naging problem positive lahat ng skills na ninominate niya..

What I meant here is sa Software Tester role lng yun ni request ko for COE since yun lng din target ko applyan or do you suggest na isama ko din un QA Call Center role ko ?

hindi sya match, yun role ko from July 17, 2012 - March 23, 2017 is sa CALL CENTER.

yun new role ko from March 24, 2017 - May 2022 is SOFTWARE QA ENGINEER.

so target ko lng ipa-asses is SOFTWARE QA ENGINEER.

Concern ko lng is baka ma question ako sa history if mag submit ako ng SSS Employment History eh makita nila yun Job History ko from 2012 - 2022.

Hindi ka naman magcclaim ng points for 2012-2017 employment episode, okay lang dapat. Kung ano lang period ilalagay mo sa application, yun lang ia-assess nila. Kung makita sa employment history yung 2012-2017, okay lang dapat. Tag it as not related to anzsco, may checkbox doon sa application if i'm not mistaken.
