I'm not sure what your problem is. It looks like they have allowed all your work experience.

The deeming date is the date you are recognised as being skilled at the required level.

Hi Sparkles,

Do you have any update on my query please, I want to apply for the state nomination but I am not sure whether I can use my old skills assessment to gain the points for skilled employment.

Thanks

Hi dreamaussie - the best advice I can give is to ask a MARA agent

dreamaussie

Ok buddy, do you know any MARA agent who can give free advice.....i have already spent a lot of money on this, can't spend more....my agent doesn't have a clue what he's doing, so I am trying to do it on my own now.

George,
Do you have any update on it?

Most agents will give a small amount of advice for free but they all have a living to make. For specific questions like yours you need to be prepared to pay.

Only post-graduation work is counted, everything after is down to the assessor and his mood that day. Your graduation date is June 2012, that's when they started to count.

Consider yourself lucky as most people will loose the first 2 years after a major in computing degree....

Hi All,

I submitted ACS skill assessment on 27-Jul, 2013. By this December end, I will have 5 years of experience. If ACS deducts 2 years from my experience as I have degree in ICT Major, I will have result with 2 years 7 months of skilled experience as on today. Do I need to submit Skill assessment again in December to get result of 3 years experience (5 points) ? I still work in the same company so can I just get a employer letter with latest experience(gaining 5 months) + ACS skill assessment result (2 years 7 months) and apply to DIAC?

It would be great if someone could help me.

Please advise.

I don't believe so, I wouldn't anyway. Points for work experience are awarded by DIAC and as long as you have a verifiable work history there shouldn't be a need to have ACS re-evaluate your experience

I am so relieved now. I will wait till December to apply EOI & lodge visa application to get 5 points for 3 years skilled employment experience.

Thanks very much old sparkles!!!

May I ask all of you, my skill assessment authority is VETASSESS, I'd asked one MARA Agent and he told me under current policy, VETASSESS working experience can overlap with DIAC working experience. For example, I have 8 years working experience, I can made use 3 years for Group B unrelated Bachelor, and then 8 year working experience, if for ACS, 2 years for ICT Major, and then only 6 years working experience left.

Do you know when will this ACS rules (ACS Skill Assessment's working experience cannot count in DIAC) apply to VETASSESS? Any clues until now?

I'm worry about this as I still not enough working experience but I'm afraid the policy has been changed when I have enough working experience, thank you!

Hello George

Hope you are doing good. I have a little unusual situation and I am sure you as a veteran can help me through this.
I have engaged a consultancy for my AU PR, started the process in April end and at the stage now where I have received an invite from State of South Australia.

I have a Bachelor in IT, and 7 years of work experience till date

My situation : ACS assessed me on 17 Apr 2013 under 261112 (Systems Analyst). Qualification comparable to an AQF Bachelor Degree with major in computing. Following employment after Aug 2011 is considered to equate to a skilled level and relevant to 261112.


Reason for above assessment : My consultancy told me to provide documents only as per relevant exp that I claim. So instead of producing 7 years of exp doc, I produced only last company doc from year 2009.


The Issue : I have claimed 70 points on EOI ( 10 points for exp) which I cannot prove based on ACS assessment. However, I can deifinitely produce experience docs from all my companies to DIAC to prove 7 years exp.
Also, I understand for System Analyst, skilled level is already after Bachelors degree ( Oct 2006 in my case) which means all my exp after that will equate to 261112.


My question : Can I go ahead and file a visa application to DIAC based on the documents ( roles & responsibilities letter from all my companies on company letter head) and still my claim for 70 points ( 10 points for 5 years exp , rem 60 points are appropriate and can be proved).
Or will DIAC reject the application considering ACS claim of skilled employment since 2011 only. Please note that the ACS assessment was not proper considering the gap of not submitting all relevant exp docs from beginning of my career after my Bachelor's which actually equates to skilled employment under System Analyst.

Please advise.

Dear Hrask,

As far as we're aware, the ACS policy hasn't been extended to Vetassess, and I think for that to happen Vetassess would need to change the format of its skills assessments.

Dear Bagmi,

You're potentially in quite a complex situation as the assessing agencies share all their documentation with the Department these days, and it's clear that your assessment letter does specify a relevant date which you need to displace. I would suggest paying for professional advice.

Cheers,

George Lombard
