I have applied with same scenario and 2 of my friends already got visa approved with same scenario. There is no doubt in it.

Hi,

Can you please tell me if all your experience is post-qualification / after completion of Bachelor's Degree? And same for your 2 friends?

Many thanks.

Hi Adam,

Thank you for answering. I will definitely check with another MARA agent like you said.

You can also call to immi, they should answer you for that question via phone. I had a problem w medical appointment and called them and they answered for all my questions.

I highly doubt that IMMI will answer questions regarding this, though.

Hi Mate,

The Home affairs doesn't count that metdate.... all u need refer in your skill assessment that is your all experience are noted. If yes your all good to count ur experience.

Hi,

Thank you for answering.

Have you or anyone you know applied in the same scenario? 

Yes, all my experience (close to 4 years) is noted in my skills assessment. Are you sure that the experience before the skills requirement met date counts too? 

Thanks again.

Well it states “have a 3 years relevant work experience” which I have according to the documents provided by my previous companies but ACS has some different opinion altogether. Strange thing is my company’s “migration specialist” said that it’ll be fine. Wondering if I can get any other opinion. 
 

p.s I have applied for the visa and done my medicals. 

Hi Horus,

Please do update here if you find more concrete information or get any update on your application.

Hi All,

I have been a silent reader for quite some time now. I was intrigued by the question asked by a user regarding the work experience. 
 

My story is that I have 4.5 years of full-time work experience in one of the IT fields. I did my ACS and it came as suitable for migration under ANZSCO code but they took 4 years out of my work experience. I am left with 4 months of “valid experience” which is unfair honestly. My company nominated me for visa 186 and I have applied for the same in July.  Does anyone know that how my work experience will be counted in this situation? Will it impede in getting my permanent residency. 
 

P.S. - I have attached all the work experience related documents  like payslips, tax statements, bank account statements and employment reference letters. I have also talked to a registered MARA agent and he didn’t sound confident to me. Any help is much appreciated. 
 

Same for me as well. I have close to 4 years of relevant work experience but ACS took 2 years out of that for Skills Assessment. I talked to an agent and they said that only the experience after Skill Requirement Met Date counts which leaves me with a little less than 2 years of experience.

In the requirement for 186 visa, DOHA has written "have at least 3 years relevant work experience, unless you are exempt" which is a bit vague.

I am wondering if anyone else in our situation has applied for 186 visa and if they can share their experience.
