Hi emaily,
From what you have said, I am assuming that you have selected Analyst Programmer as your nominated occupation.
As your experience as Analyst Programmer is almost 3 years old, I am afraid that you may not be eligible to apply to DIAC, I am not sure through.
Please check this link:
It says:
"If your nominated occupation is not on the Specified Trade Occupations list, you must provide evidence that you have been in paid employment in any skilled occupation on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) for at least 12 months in the 24 months immediately before applying."
In last 24 months you were not employed as Analyst Programmer.
I am not sure whether you have to be employed in your selected occupation or any skilled occupation in SOL. I guess in either case its bad luck for you. Because in last 24 months you were employed as DBA, which is not in the SOL for 175.
Please don't get demotivated by my words, this just what I have understood, I could be wrong. Better do some research on this.
Wish you all the best.
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I have checked your your given link.
But there is also some other info that I found, please check this link,
[sorry can't post link yet, forum rules]
//please go to "Main applicant eligibility", then from POINTS TEST go to
"Overseas and Australian Skilled Employment – Points" link.//
It says,
"You will be awarded points for employment in a skilled occupation, gained over the past ten years either in Australia or overseas. To claim points for skilled employment, the experience that you claim must be in your nominated occupation, or in a closely related occupation. You can claim points for both Australian skilled employment and overseas skilled employment and this may be from a combination of both Australian and overseas employment experience provided it was undertaken in the last 10 years."
Your link is from "Recent Skilled Employment Experience – Eligibility" part and it also talk about
"If your nominated occupation is not on the
Specified Trade Occupations list, you must provide evidence that you have been in paid employment in
any skilled occupation on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) for at least 12 months in the 24 months immediately before applying."
So it states that if I'm not in "Specified Trade Occupations list", then I have to be in "any skilled occupation on the Skilled Occupation List", not my selected occupation.
What is your opinion?
I myself am certainly not an expert, so any expertise from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
