I suggest na pa review ka then submit all necessary docs na you think it will help your case even coe nung mga contractual ka. Sa case ko yung first job ko contractual din ako pero I advised ung company na put a full time employee since I was a full time naman. It doeant have to mention naman na contractual or regular employee. Anyway, you already have secured a positive assessment. Whatever the result of your review, your initial assessment is still valid.

I also have a question with regards to ACS. Kailangan ba ulit ako magpaassess kung may bago akong trabaho pero related sa systems analyst. I got my positive assessment last year as a systems analyst but my letter states that I am skilled after sept 2011 pero di pa kasama yung bago kong trabaho? I am considering applying this september at state sponsorship para umabot yung points.
