Thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate your time and effort. You have helped me clarify my doubts.

Hi Russell, Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my query. As it is a Phd from an Australian university which is already in the required AQL level, hence I understand that there is no role for vetassess here. I had a impression that I can claim points only for the degrees that are assessed by the assessing authority. I really feel better reading your reply. Thanks again!

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum. I need some clarification on claiming points for qualifications. In August 2018, I received positive skills assessment outcome from VETASSESS for Marketing Specialist occupation. The skills assessment was based on my work experience, and my bachelors and masters degree. However, after positive skills assessment, I received my PhD degree from an Australian university in December 2018. My PhD degree has not been assessed by VETASSESS. I have claimed 20 points for the PhD in my EOI and lodged 190 visa application in Jan 2019. Is it alright to claim points for a degree that was not part of the skills assessment outcome ? I have submitted my PhD degree certificate and transcripts as evidence. I appreciate your help and advice. Thank you
