Hi omarau

How much of your experience is accepted by ACS. Also if we apply to 176, stil we have to pass the points tests right? and for IELTS less than 7, points alloted will be 0.

33 months were accepted and around 26 months were rejected, anyways Im aiming at getting 10 points for my experience i.e. 36 months by the time i apply for ielts and sa sponsorship my 33 month would defiantly be 36 still i need 7 in ielts. looks really tight but doable and getting to Australia really worth a try.

that what ACS thinks, if i dont get 7 in ielts i may apply for an appeal for ACS to include those 26 months. then i will be able to claim 10 points instead of 5 for my experience now all i can do is prepare for ielts and then wait for the results and hope for the best

Finally,

after about 9 months of fight, and a rejection in first attempt I got my ACS assessment cleared in 2nd attempt.......

the process was quick....submitted online app on 14th July, and got approval on 14th September... (8 weeks is pretty good time I suppose)...

was rejected as an "Analyst Programmer" and now got approved as a "Software Engineer"

special thanks to Baljinsi, BEUser, infypawan, Gaurab, and Armandra......those who guided me to change and make the application as in desired format as required by assessing authority.....you guys rock...

Though I have new problems those have popped up in last 3 months (since the time I lodged the app)....

1) I have been promoted, so some new documents - new information to be submitted.
2) My passport was to expire in 8 months time, my company forced me to get it renewed so that company can apply for a visa on my new passport..


I do not know what to do about the second one specially.....I do not have a valid passport as of now, and new one can take about a month to come....did not apply in Tatkaal(those in India will understand)...should I wait for that to come....or can I go ahead and apply for DIAC?...will DIAC accept that information?........my IELTS score of 7.5(8,8,7,7) expire in 7th Novemeber 2011, I have to apply before that.....

this forum is awesome.... thanks to all...

Does anyone know if there is a difference of what ACS consider as experience closely related to nominated occupation and what DIAC consider for the same?
Here is the extract from both sides regarding this:
ACS Says:

Skilled employment will be assessed in relation to the nominated occupation ANZSCO code.

DIAC Says:

In determining whether an applicant’s skilled employment is closely related to their nominated occupation, the department will take into consideration the occupations within one unit group classified under Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO).

Does that mean that DIAC might consider experience that ACS considered not closely related to nominated occupation?

It would really make a difference in many cases. ACS has considered 24 months of my experience as not closely related to the nominated occupation. depending on the answer to this question I will either apply for 175 pr 176.

Any comments / thoughts are appreciated.

Hi omarau

The best answer definitely can be given by DIAC, but IMHO DIAC has delegated the work of skills assessment, experience verification and degree verification to the relevant assessing authorities. But who knows what additional check DIAC also do on their end as far as skills assessment is concerned
