Work experience claiming points / overseas + Australian

[zonfishy]

Hi Rupert,

 

I'm in a serious situation I believe. Just after I got my approval for 489 regional sponsorship I got an invitation. My points given by the EOI were 60. I too claimed 60, so I didn't want to see the points break down document provided in my EOI homepage. But after the invitation I just went through it and I hit the ceiling. Eoi has given me points for Australian Work experience which i didn't want to claim. But I wanted 15 points for overseas work experience. unfortunately EOI has counted only 10points for that which i don't know why. Even after my qualifications also i have 10years experience.

 

There was no question to answer as 'yes' or 'no' to Australian Work experience, like "Do you claim points for Australian Work experience?" All employment details were filled in the same form. I have 1 year offshore work experience with an Australian Company. When filling those details under employer's country I mentioned Australia. Otherwise how can i write my country's name in that box, which is not existing in my country. However EOI automatically gave me 5 points. I have all work details with that company, but physically i didn't work there except one business visit last year.

 

My other problem is why it didn't give me 15 points for my overseas work experience though i have more than 10years experience. I have all relevant documents to prove and claim 15 points for overseas work experience. Why this has happened? I couldn't do anything to reverse it back. Will i be able to convince my problem to the CO with all my docs and tell about what EOI automatically did to my points and claim 15 points for overseas work experience? I'm about to hit the button "Apply Visa". but this bothers me a lot. Please tell me about my situation. Will my application be rejected for what i didn't do and what EOI points calculator did to me?

 

Need advice. please help

Hi all,

 

I was just playing around in my Skillselect account to see how the points are being calculated.

 

According the Skillselect calculation DIAC would not give any points if for example 2 years + 11 months were worked overseas + 11 months in Australia in nominated occupation.

 

I know according DIAC information it is split up in either overseas employment 3-5 years 5 points

And Australian employment 1 year 5 points, but common sense would still grant 5 points for above scenario.

 

Can someone confirm this? The whole migration procedure is getting even more bizarre.

@Franconian I am in a similar situation, please let me know whether you have claimed 3+(5 points) for overseas experience.
