Re: Merged threads on ASCO code confusion
 

DJMJX,

I have a suggestion for you.. Wait till all the SMP lists are out. From those you can tell what occupations are in demand and then tailor your RPL application to target those skills..

Thats what I have in mind.. Unless some miracle happens and Victoria comes accepts my State sponsorship application (now SMP).

Cheers,

TAA

Re: Merged threads on ASCO code confusion
 

Thanks,
I think I'll do that, I'm spending too much time on this site trying to find some sort of hope with 2231-79 (Oracle Spec) and something to cling on to....I've downloaded the new forms from the ACS site and have started to fill them in....and prepare for a new assessment. I don't suppose I'll get it done for free (applied 25th Jan, received 25 Apr).
Cheers and good luck

:thumbsup:

Re: Merged threads on ASCO code confusion
 

DJMJX,

You know, its true what Ozdreamz said, the states are not gonna include 263199 in their lists. On top of it, the new SMP wont be out till August at least as NT just announced they they wont be sponsoring anyone till Sept 1st until they devise their SMP. This trend is dangerous. We have already wasted so much time waiting, now a reassessment - 12 weeks for that and then wait for SMPs, then another wait for SMP acceptance / rejection...

I am going mad !, I think I should quit visiting this site for a week or so. I am super depressed !.

I wish for just one good news !

Cheers,

TAA

Re: Assessment Result
 

Check your application which you have submitted . Have you applied under 2231-79 code or 2231-79( Some Specialisation) depends on what you have applied also.

other than this ACS can give you code based on the documents provided by you. if you feel this is not what is expected , then check the provision on acs website to appeal against the assesment.

Re: Assessment Result
 

whethere its 2231-79 with specialization or without, it does not matter now because all are mapped to the same anzsco code so no point worrying about it.. it would be worth woking on a reassessment if you got your letter after may1. If not, you need to do a new application for a new anzsco code if you think there is any that fits your role.else you will be tagged to the converted anzsco code which I think is of not much use.

Hi fellas

Any suggestions what could be the new code if I wish to apply as an SAP specialist under 175. Have already got 2231-79(sap specialist) from ACS but all invain as of current regulations.
Appreciate your advice.

Cheers

Re: Merged threads on ASCO code confusion
 

hi..depends on what your role is.. if you are onto functional roles, you can go for business analyst, senior technical roles, I would suggest systems analyst, for something like ABAP programming, you could go for developer programmer.

Re: Merged threads on ASCO code confusion
 

I don't understand - why are you getting mad ? Can't you follow the instructions of ACS on their website and get ANZSCO code for free?

Re: Merged threads on ASCO code confusion
 

hi Zaske,

Are you talking about 261399? Do you think this code will be of any use? Is there any possibility of any state sponsoring it? Its a vague code with so many occupations and all the specilaizations as per last SOL. Reassessment for post May 1 and new assessment for others is the only option..do you see any other option?

Re: Merged threads on ASCO code confusion
 

No I don't - this is why I asked him. However, you will have to give more evidence for "Developer programmer" and other ANZSCO professions - for example "Developr programmer" is not just a plain programmer. He/she must read design documents at various levels, and produce ones as well - this is what I understood from the description of the profession.

Re: Assessment Result
 

Thanks for your reply. In ACS application I had chosen ASCO Code 2231-11 and in MODL Description I had mentioned "Computing Professional - unix, linux, solaris, j2EE. ACS gave me 2231-79 and I am not sure why they have not given any specialization there. I received my letter on 22nd of this month(June). I had applied for assessment on March 19. What about the new ANZSCO codes. How do i co-relate 2231-79 and will I get MODL (60) points?
Please suggest.

Thanks

Re: Merged threads on ASCO code confusion
 

Hi, where can we find the descriptions of the professions. Any ACS specific site or url?

Re: Assessment Result
 

Thanks for your reply. I got my letter on 22nd of July. I had applied for assessment on 19th March. They have given me 2231-79 without specialization. Which ANZSCO code does this map to and am I eligible for MODL points.
By the way, what did you mean by "it would be worth woking on a reassessment if you got your letter after may1". Do I need to do the reassessment done once again?


Thanks.

Re: Merged threads on ASCO code confusion
 

I took the liberty last night to contact my skills assessing officer at ACS. A speedy response to my enquiry was received (see below) regarding my current positive PASA letter dated 25 Apr as suitable for migration 2231-79 (oracle spec).
I have not got the time this morning due to work to check what 'Legislative instrument' or ComLaw etc is. I would appreciate if someone could do some digging. I hope the response I received from ACS sheds some light, if it's just a generic answer to lots of similar enquiries then......my migration agent needs to pull his finger out and start working.
Have a good day
MJX


Hi,
You should first determine whether your occupation appears on the current Legislative instrument (if applicable) for the type of skilled visa program you are interested in, then check to see if an acceptable ASCO to ANZSCO correlation exists for the occupation code on the Instrument.
See: ComLaw > Federal Register of Legislative Instruments, or refer to the attached document.

In addition, you should check the eligibility criteria for the type of visa you wish to nominate/apply for to determine any ASCO-ANZSCO transitional arrangements specific to that visa program.

If you are uncertain whether your skills assessment is acceptable for a visa application, or have further questions regarding the above, please contact DIAC to discuss your situation.
See: Visa Enquiries

Re: Merged threads on ASCO code confusion
 

There is no date on the letter I got from them, so how can I know when they completed the assessment?
