My consultant says that I can apply for direct PR with 5 years exp as Systems Analyst. Is that ok?? ACS gave me a BA assessment..Can we change the code for which we want to apply..ne idea??

If I apply for VIC SS then do I need to have a job offer in my hand or I have to go and find the job there??

How different is VIC SS from VIC Regional SS?? Is it worth applying for VIC Regional SS??

You should not change the code for which you have got your ACS.. This can create a discrepancy..!! But why would you want to change the code, you can apply for a direct PR as a BA. The difference in a direct PR and a PR with SS is the processing time and the 2 years commitment to live in that state.

To apply for SS you do not need a job in hand. But a job in hand can speed up your application. If you don't have a job in hand, you definitely need to go and look for one. (Assuming you wanna work :P)

With regional SS, you can't work and live in the main Melbourne city, where most of the IT companies are located, which is a huge negative. Rest is a personal opinion.

In the email sent by the CO, I don't see a mention of Bank Statements but I do see pay slips. So if you have payslips and other documents on company letter head then you should be fine.

Good luck!!

Do we need all of this if we have the experience letter from the company stating our roles and responsibilities as requested by the ACS..??

Thanks for your reply kshaggarwal. I was literally confused by what my consultant was saying.

Just one more thing..I have 4 yrs exp as SA and 1.5 yrs exp as BA. I applied for assessment by ACS under BA & ACS gave me the assessment of BA. So for the points test how many yrs of exp will be counted - 1.5 yrs of BA or a total of 5.5 yrs of BA?? Will I be able to get 10 points for my work ex?? Ne idea??

You should get the total amount of work exp on you ACS assessment (sa+ba) as DIAC considers and awards experience for your nominated occupation + closely related occupation.

You'll get the 10 points.

Hi SandyBR/coolsnake/dreamaus and others,

I applied 176 yesterday and got the automated email today.

Now to inform VIC about my application what I have to do?
Just send a mail to "smp.applications@liveinvictoria.vic.gov.au" mentioning only the "TRANSACTION RECORD NUMBER(TRN)" for my 176 and in the subject of the mail I should mention my VIC SS reference number (SS-2012-00xxx), right?

I don't have to attach form 1100 in this mail, right?

[SandyBR]

Hey Saydur, You need not to attach form 1100, just send an email to VIC gus with your 176 reference number...That should work

Do you think I should ask ACS what is the total work ex they have considered for my BA and how many points will I score based on that in DIAC??

Actually I am asking this because I am short of 10 points from 65. If my total work exp of 5.5 is counted (SA - 4yrs + BA - 1.5 yrs) then I will get 5 more points and I will be able to apply for VIC SS otherwise not.

Can I apply for VIC SS even if I am not sure about 10 points??
