Hi all,

I'm just asking your opinions based on the announced processing priorities and SMPs which yet to be announced!

ASCO code 2231-79 mapped with ANZSCO 261399 in schedule4 are in real danger situation or are they lucky!!!

Drop in your opinions pls

Hi All,

I have few queries regarding occupation categories. If anybody could reply i'll b highly obliged.

1. Is occupation 'Computing Professional (nec)' same as Building and Engineering Professionals nec' ?

2. I was assessed under category 2129 - 79 (Building and Engineering Professionals nec) which is under Schedule 1 SOL list. But while applying for immigration my agent mentioned category as 2231-15 (Software Designer) in my online application which is under Schedule - 3 SOL. When I pointed out this to my agent about difference in Asco code , I got the following reply .

“Please note your nominated occupation (2129-79) need not be same as your actual work experience (IT). This means you can show your IT Work Experience. The rule being if your nominated occupation is 60 points for skill you must have been in Employment in "any occupation on the list of skilled occupations" for at least 12 out of the 24 months before applying for migration under Skilled Australian Sponsored Category.“

So my immigration application will be considered under 2231-15 category or the category I was assessed (2129 – 79).

My time lines are as below:
Lodged On : 12th May 2008 ( Non CSL and Non MODL)
Family sponsored …still waiting for the Visa.

Thanks,
Aliza

If you have CO assigned you have some hope. Otherwise it falls under priority 4.

I haven't applied yet! waiting for SMPs

did you or your agent informed the department about the mistake.

My agent did it purposely.Its not a mistake.
I just wanted to confirm watever he did is correct . Wanted views from the people on de forum.

On the new NSW SMP plan, it states that they will sponsor people with 261313 (Software Engineer) who specialize in Java.

When you apply for the ACS skills assessment, it only lets you to apply for the generic 261313 code. There is no option to add a speciality.

Does anyone know how you are supposed to get ACS to recognize a speciality with the basic ANZSCO codes?

Something similar to my case. The difference is filed as 2129-79 itself and am in Schedule 4 now. I havent heard about a situation where u can assess one code and apply under another code.. You will need to talk to DIAC.

may be ACS will assign u a code and a specialization in sentence as they used to do with previous assessments code and MODL in 2 line sentence.

I have said before and I suspect that is going to be the case.


Cheers,

What your agent has replied is 100% correct and it even mentioned on the immigration dept website under recent work experience and specific work experience sections.....

However, in my opinion what he did is not right... You should have skills assessment for the occupation your nominated.... your recent experience may be in different occupation thought..... I am not professional by any mean so see my information in that perspective...

i had spoken at long length with the nsw goverment in November 2010 about a very simlair requirement, when it was system designer with oracle, or c+,c.

I was told there are three requirements which need to be filled:

1. Your assessment needs to be correct code
2. you need to have business knowledge experience
3. your references,contract and cv need to show the skills of for example c++,c and oracle

so to anwser your question, acs will just give the code, but your references, contracts, and cv need to show you use Java in your dairly duties

I have applied for my Skill Assessment on 4th of february 2010.I have
gotten my positive Assessment result on 24th June 2010.Now I want to apply
for Visa Application.

My Assessment result in ASCO code 2231-79(Network Security Specialist)

Will I submit my application in ASCO or in ANZSCO code?

My Duties of Network Security specialst relates with ANZSCO code
261112(System Analyst).

Plz reply me what should i do.thanks alot for your response.

Sadaf,
Do you want to apply for 175 or 176? You can apply for 175 if you have got 120 points but you cannot use your ASCO based assessment for 175 according to correlation table.

Thanks.
