Hi All,
My partner and I have an Australian bachelors degree completed offshore, In ACS application we mentioned that the country of study as our home country where we studied. Surprisingly ACS has decided to NOT to deduct any years and has taken our relevant qualification start date as the end date of our degree. That means we could claim points from the start date of our job.
I was a little bit confused as nobody can't escape the two-year deduction unless you have studied onshore, so I mailed ACS saying that I've studied offshore and if there was any mistake. Then they replied;
But again
We could claim 5 points for our experience, but I'm really worried that DHA would have another point of view regarding my relevant skill dates.
Should we go with the ACS mentioned dates?
And my partner will be the primary applicant, should we get a confirmation from ACS regarding her skill dates from ACS as well?
Note - we got total 4 skill assessments for two job codes, for 3 out of 4 they haven't deducted any experience. The first one they deducted two years.
Appreciate any input. Thanks.
