Re: ACS Time?
If you work as a web developer, that will be what your references say, and that will be what ACS look at. If you choose to continue with the Developer programmer then I think you will need to give them reasons to change their mind or you will likely be unsuccessful. Whatever you decide don't wait too long 
thanks so much old.sparkles for such quick reply, i don't have problem in going with Web Developer as i have seen it is also in CSOL so it should not be a problem for me? (please correct me if i am wrong)
Thanks

Re: ACS Time?
If an occupation is on the CSOL, and not on the SOL, you would need sponsorship by either state/territory or employer

Re: ACS Time?
ACS are warning you that your experience does not meet their criteria for Developer Programmer - you cannot have a successful assessment without some experience.
So it would seem your choices are accept the change, and look at what states could sponsor you. Or wait until you have some developer experience and try at a later time so you can have an independant visa if it is still on the SOL at that time.
If you need more specific advice, then you should contact an experienced MARA agent

Re: ACS Time?
It seems Web Developer is of no use as every one is sponsoring Developer Programmer or Software Engineer, I am really confused what i should be doing? Can i say to them to please reconsider me as "Developer Programmer" ?

Re: ACS Time?
Of course you can - it may not be successful, but you can tell them you want to continue with your current assessment

Re: ACS Time?
if you really wanted to have you assessed as Developer Programmer, you could have prepared your experience in line with ACS expectations ex: you could have mentioned about software development without mentioning on ASP.net.
Anyhow, now you do not want to assessed as a web developer, i guess you don't have an option than talking to ACS and finding it out?
Good Luck.
Cheers,
PB

Yes you can tell them, however I fear that you might end up on non suitable category which means no positive assessment and lost of money.

Re: ACS Time?
They have a guide for applicants - https://www.acs.org.au/__data/assets...Applicants.pdf
And summary criteria - https://www.acs.org.au/__data/assets...a-Oct-2013.pdf
ACS skills assessments are issued with a deeming date, and you need some work experience to be deemed skilled. Only work experience after the deeming date can be used for points with DIBP. The minimum experience for a successful assessment is 2 years
