mazzagirl Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Hi all husband recieved his ACS result today, after changing anzsco as per their suggestion he has the following written on his assessment, but then the first job that follows goes back to aug 2003, which we would hope counts but not sure what the relevance of March 2010 is as that is not the start date of any subsequent jobs?? : The following employment after March 2010 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately skilled level and relevant to 263212 (ICT Support Engineer) of the ANZSCO Code. Dates: 08/03 - 08/08 (5yrs 0mths) Position: Group ICT Infrastructure Manager etc etc Anyone have any ideas on the relevance of this as we certainly hope they are not going to only count 4 years experience when he has been working in I.T for over 15yrs?

eddieb7 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 The following employment after March 2010 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately skilled level and relevant to 263212 (ICT Support Engineer) of the ANZSCO Code. Dates: 08/03 - 08/08 (5yrs 0mths) Position: Group ICT Infrastructure Manager etc etc That looks to me, as though they are only counting the 5yrs from 2003 - 2008 as experience for the ICT Support Engineer ANZSCO Code. Does his other Job Titles, since 2008, have responsibilities that would be classed under the same code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you read the guidelines? https://www.acs.org.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0016/7324/Summary-of-Criteria-2014.pdf If he does not have an IT degree then the first 8 years of experience discounted if no degree (or equivalent) and 6 years for a non-IT degree. They will also remove years if not closely related to the ANZSCO code. An Infrastucture manager does not sound like a support engineer to me You can only claim experience points from the skilled date given on your ACS result.

MaggieMay24 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 As they have said in the letter, only employment since March 2010 is considered relevant to the ANZSCO code so the employment before that has been discounted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure why I am replying again when the OP didn't reply to answer but hey Ho.. Actually MaggieMay, the employment after March 2010 is deemed skilled... This means between 2 and 8 years experience were deemed skilled prior to this date as per my last post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazzagirl Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 thanks for the replies, sorry its been my sons birthday so hectic weekend. Other half wasn't originally claiming to be support engineer but a security specialist which is what he does now for a bank. We did indeed read the guidelines but they have deemed his degree to have only an ICT minor not a major which we thought would be fairly evident. Not sure whether there is much point contesting this? Stupidly as we assumed the degree would translate he only included 10 yrs work history when he does have more, expensive lesson learned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Do you really need the work experience points? It is always better to claim as little as possible anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetMeDownUnder Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Why would you want to close as little as possible rupert??? You want to claim as much as possible for max points in a competitive code which requires more than 60 points. Similarly, if you knew they would take at least 2 years off then surely you would give all your experience? There is no harm in challenging it, and you should if your degree is an IT major. What is the degree? Did you give a transcript etc to show the syllabus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fewer points you claim on the EOI and visa application, the less chance there is of points being disputed and the visa being declined. I have not commented onto providing information to ACS.

mazzagirl Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 thanks guys, we will look at the degree aspect again, yes we provided the transcript, degree is in media technology which is of course very general but all of his electives were programming and such like, we knew that it would not be closely linked but thought it would be still classed as i.t major. Problem is with older degrees - 1998 in our case, a lot of the topics are nonexistent now because of the changing nature of I.T. Starting to realise now why people use agents thanks for all the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
