    Ask ko lang po, Subject for statutory declaration po ba if yung previous company ay dissolved na ng sister company nito pero nakakuha naman po ng employment certification si hubby with letterhead noong nag pay out. I'm just worried lang po na bka itong si ACS ay mag investigate at iba na ang name nun dating company. To avoid confusion lang po. O baka naman pwedeng accept ng ACS yung certification na nag change sila ng company name dahil na buy out na ng ibang company at ni merge na sa sister company nito kaya bale change na name. Ano po ba pwedeng gawin mag stat. dec. na lang? Thanks po sa advise.

    It's up to you to ensure your skills assessment is still valid on time of Visa application, kapag nakita ng CO na nde valid yung ACS nyo, its a possible reason for Visa denial. Basically you can claim whatever you want on your EOI, but you have to prove it during visa processing (After you paid). Hope this helps :) Thanks!

    Thanks God! i got my self answered after some researched thru this ACS FAQ https://www.acs.org.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0017/12635/Employment-FAQs.pdf

    My query : Ask ko lang po, Subject for statutory declaration po ba if yung previous company ay dissolved na ng sister company nito pero nakakuha naman po ng employment certification si hubby with letterhead noong nag pay out. I'm just worried lang po na bka itong si ACS ay mag investigate at iba na ang name nun dating company. To avoid confusion lang po. O baka naman pwedeng accept ng ACS yung certification na nag change sila ng company name dahil na buy out na ng ibang company at ni merge na sa sister company nito kaya bale change na name. Ano po ba pwedeng gawin mag stat. dec. na lang? Thanks po sa advise.

    Question from ACS FAQ :My Company has merged or changed names. Will this cause a problem?

    ACS FAQ says :
    Please ensure the company name change is noted in the employment reference to avoid any confusion.

    Note : To all who will have the same question like us. Hope this can help. :)

    @frederique ako na naman po. hehe. i tried remarking sa last exam ko through BC kasi sabit sa writing was only 6.0. however wla pa results until now. first take ko was the review center approach then the second retake was the youtube approach. hehe. if you dont mind, do you need 0.5 or 1.0 more sa speaking mo?

    when did you lodge your ACS application?

    thanks

    Xiaomau82, thanks for the reply. Talaga lang i'm feeling lost parang baguhan na naman. AU500 na pala yung dating AU485 for skills(general) tumaas na rin like sa visa charge.

    05/17/11 - ACS favorable result released for my husband's skills assessment nominated job-261311 Analyst Programmer.
    12/10/11 - Hubby IELTS first take at BC result L & R-5.5, W & S-6.0 OBS=6.0 retake!!!
    12/30/11- Hubby registered at 9.0 Niners.
    03/15/14 - Hubby's comeback at 9.0 Niners preparing for IELTS test. Second attempt for Australian visa.
    05/12/14 - Complete uploading of ACS skills assessment required documents and payment made thru direct deposit.
    05/12/14 - ACS assessment application received.
    07/02/14 - ACS skills assessment result suitable ANZCO code 262113 Systems Administrator as recommended by CO for hubby's job description rather than ANZCO 261311 Analyst Programmer the first ACS ANZCO result suitable released in 2011. I conclude ACS reclassifies ICT Occupations.
    - Work exp. 12yrs. less 6yrs deduction by ACS.
    - Educ. Qualification assessed as AQF Associate Degree major in computing for a 4yr. course BS. Computer Science in a section 2 school.

    @iamfi thanks sa feedback.

    @cgm thanks! Same pala tayo ngtake din ako ielts nun 15 mar. Got d results pro sabit sa speaking.

    Sino po ba dito nka pgtry remarking sa BC sg? Madali lang po ba?
    Indi po advisable mag paremark pa gang target mo na increase sa points e 1.0. Saka ang mas may chance na maremark po e Writing at Speaking lang kasi yun yung subjective na components unlike Reading and listening mejo specific yung answers na hanap nila. Ang problem sa remarking, indi sila transparent so yung result ng remarking, malamn mo lang kung granted yung points or hindi.

    @frederique I think kaya yan. From what I have read from forums, pag yung scores mo malaki agwat sa lowest and highest tapos you only need a 0.5 lift on either Speaking or Writing, malaki chance for it to be reconsidered. Subjective kasi scoring sa Writing and Speaking di katulad sa Reading and Listening where meron talaga exact answer. I think it would be worth a try and you can retake as well. At least meron ka option A and B. :)
