Thanks for the quick reply

Re: Where does ASCO 2231-79 matches to newly annocuned SOL???
 

Guys I think I found some authentic and factual information about the mystery of getting re-assessed or not for the new SOL. I found another guy's post on another forum who was being clarified of the situation through DIAC's comments.


A new list of Skilled Occupations (incorporating ANZSCO codes) has been published in draft form by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) on 17 May 2010 - this is in support of a proposed new Skilled Occupation List (SOL) to be implemented on 1 July 2010. Please visit the DIAC website for further information about the changes.
What does this mean for people applying for a Migration Skills Assessment by Engineers Australia?
1.Up to and including 30 June 2010, assessment outcome letters will be issued in ASCO codes only
2.From and including 1 July 2010, assessment outcome letters will be issued in ANZSCO codes only ... this will also apply to any reissued outcomes after that date
Please note - For applicants who hold, or are about to hold, an assessment outcome letter with an ASCO code issued by this office prior to 1 July 2010, and who lodge an application to DIAC within 12 months of the date of this letter:

DIAC have advised us that they will honour the ASCO code assessment for a period of 12 months after the introduction of the new SOL, or the expiry date of their 12-month validity of the assessment outcome letter, whichever is the sooner.

To honour the rules of this forum, I am not posting the direct link to the original post. But you can google it pretty easily if you want to.

How about the priority processing?? do you have any idea? especially those whose occupation is on the CSL?

Re: Where does ASCO 2231-79 matches to newly annocuned SOL???
 

thank you! this has enlightened me a bit.. so does this mean we dont have to worry about looking for the partial match of our ASCO codes to the ANZSCO codes.i guess our question now is the priority listing or the CSL. since my assessment from ACS is previously under MODL. im still keeping my :fingerscrossed: that when i lodge my visa this july, it would still be considered under CSL

Re: Where does ASCO 2231-79 matches to newly annocuned SOL???
 

Hi all. I've been working as an Operational Analyst for the past 4 years and was about to lodge a skills assessment with ACS, until I found out about the new SOL list. My skills would likely be matched under the UNIT GROUP 2632 ICT SUPPORT AND TEST ENGINEERS which sadly is not included in the new SOL list. My questions are:

1. Does this mean I have to forgo my intention to forgo my intention to lodge a GSM and wait for any changes in the future (am extremely dissapointed with this)?

2. Proceed with the ACS assessment anyway and try my best to match the job description with th remaining ICT categories (ie. System Analyst) but still...this seemed far fetched to me.

Hoping to hear from any of you as I am completely confused....

thanks in advance

I would suggest you not start another thread on 2231-79. There is already one thread running on this.

Re: Where does ASCO 2231-79 matches to newly annocuned SOL???

Hi Oliman,
Does it means we can use our existing ACS Assessment for visa application right? And we dont need to hassle about current ANZSCO Codes?

Please clarify.

Thanks..

Re: Where does ASCO 2231-79 matches to newly annocuned SOL???
 

Yar umair I am not sure, but It seems to be like this way.

Also for all of you guys out there, I got another important info to share. I emailed ACS for the clarification of ASCO ANZCO and the possibility of getting re-assessed, this is what the replied me with. This may clear more confusion for all you guys.

Dear applicants,



It is intended that the new SOL would apply to all new GSM applications made from the date of implementation, except where transitional arrangements are likely to be provided for. Subject to the approval of the Governor-General in Council of amendments to the Migration Regulations 1994, it is intended that a new SOL would come into effect from 1 July 2010, along with the transitional provisions.



Subject to the approval of the Governor-General in Council of the proposed legislative amendments, it is intended that a number of transitional arrangements would be introduced to minimise the impact of this change on international students.



Further information is available on the DIAC’s website at: http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/gener.../whats-new.htm



Up to and including 30 June 2010, assessment outcome letters will be issued in ASCO codes only

From and including 1 July 2010, assessment outcome letters will be issued in ANZSCO codes only



Applicants who hold, or are about to hold, an assessment outcome letter with an ASCO code issued by the ACS prior to 1 July 2010, will be advised on the assessment outcome review process in due course.



Kind regards,

Now from above reply which I got from ACS, I am trying to interpret what exactly do they mean by following sentence...


Applicants who hold, or are about to hold, an assessment outcome letter with an ASCO code issued by the ACS prior to 1 July 2010, will be advised on the assessment outcome review process in due course.

Re: Where does ASCO 2231-79 matches to newly annocuned SOL???
 

@Oliman,

Means they will let us know how to convert our existing assessment into new ones or maybe they will send us new assessment letters (very unlikely though!).

Lets see, I think ACS doesn't have any idea what to do ? they are still thinking...

Cheers,

TAA

Yes, this is what it sounds like to me.
