cengland Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Hey, I applied for a 190 visa, after getting nominated by Victoria. I have just recieved my rejection due to me getting 5 points rather than 15... their reasons were that I do not have a degree and therefore 5 years of my work experience is invalid...? I am applying for a 263111 Computer Network and Systems Engineer, and cannot understand the rejection. Does anyone else have experience of this? Thanks Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 What did your skills assessment state ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cengland Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 My Skills Assessment states: Your skills have been assessed to be suitable for migration under 263111 (Computer Network and Systems Engineer) of the ANZSCO Code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 It could be because they use experience in lieu of the degree, therefore they have taken the 5 years of experience instead of a degree. The work experience for points will therefore be only the years after this time. Does that make sense? check the small print in the assessment. usually only work experience after you qualify is counted, something known as the deeming date. It has caught a few people out.

No, what does it say about work experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Your skills assessment should state that "The following employment after XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is considered ......" so you cannot claim any experience before that date. What date did your skills assessment state? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERYSTORMY Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 You might want to consider using an agent - a lot cheaper than a lost visa fee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Do you still have enough points though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cengland Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Nope just drops us under the threshold, Needing 5 more points. Will do my English Test again to gain the extra points as only previously got 10 points were I can get 20 putting me over. At least I know what points I will get now 100% just need the increase in language and I should be done. Does anyone know if I would have to do my Medical again?

paddymacs Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Sorry to hear this would you not ring an agent they might be able to appeal or at least put you in right direction? It might cost you their few but alot cheaper than applying for visa again.im not sure you can even appeal but i think I'd definitely speak with someone. Best of luck hope you get sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Medical and police checks are valid for 12 months. You need to be granted the visa and make your first entry before they expire. So you will need to at least validate the visa before then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teezee Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Medicals are valid for a year. If re-apply within a year of the initial medical you may re-use the medical for a new submission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolann Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Aww that's a nightmare. Medicals are valid for 12 months. We have our medicals tomorrow, my hubby had TB forty years ago as a kid, and we'll no doubt be referred to The MOC. I believe this will add a few months on. The waiting is torture ?

Best of luck hope you get sorted There is no way to appeal this. Echoing Blossom's post, there is no case to appeal. The OP made a common mistake and waiting up to two years for an MRT (Migration Review Tribunal) to be heard and employing lawyers to assist will not be worth it, especially as this is a clear cut case for visa refusal. Best to bite the bullet, employ a MARA agent, ensure the i's are all dotted and the t's are all crossed and reapply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 The OP is evidently capable of lodging an EoI/visa application and probably does not need the full services of a RMA, but would be well advised to run the case past a RMA before paying.

Raul Senise Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Hey - yeah that is what has caught me out... Looks like I will have too apply again... money now tighter than ever.. Thanks guys for letting me know you guys are more helpfull than the Case Officers. Case officers are not there to help you understand the requirements or answer questions. Their job is to assess an application against the relevant Migration Regulations. I have just recieved my rejection due to me getting 5 points rather than 15... their reasons were that I do not have a degree and therefore 5 years of my work experience is invalid...? I am applying for a 263111 Computer Network and Systems Engineer, and cannot understand the rejection. Unfortunately this is quite a common mistake. As you do not have formal qualifications, ACS will subtract employment experience before your are considered "skilled" for migration purposes.

supercow Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Fark cengland, this is the exact same mistake I would have made if I had done my own application. Sorry to hear that mate, get those 20 point in English and get submitting again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
