Hi Guys,

My wife had applied for ACS Skills Assessment on RPL route and got her skills assessed as below:
//
Your skills have been assessed to be suitable for migration under 261313 (Software Engineer) of the
ANZSCO Code.
The following employment after October 2011 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately
skilled level and relevant to 261313 (Software Engineer) of the ANZSCO Code.
Dates: 09/05 - 02/08 (2yrs 5mths)
Position: XXX
Employer: YYY
Country: ZZZ
Dates: 03/08 - 03/12 (4yrs 0mths)
Position: XXX
Employer: YYY
Country: ZZZ
//

I think this is a Positive Skills Assessment. However, I have two questions:

1) What is the total work experience she has been assessed? Especially this statement confused me.
"The following employment after October 2011 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately"

Could you please help me what that exactly means?

2) There is no indication that her education is assessed. So do we need to get her education assessed separately?

Kindly explain me...

She can claim work experience points for work after October 2011.

If she wants education points she needs to assess her education with vetassess

My current score is 55. With the above result from ACS, can I claim Spouse points -5 extra?

 

[_shel]

Ahh you are the applicant? If so yes you can use it for extra points.

Hi Shel,

Yes I'm the main applicant and my current score is 55 points. So I needed 5 more points to apply. My wife has applied for ACS assessment via RPL and she got the above result. Now:
1) Will I get extra 5 points for spouse and be totally 60 points to apply?
2) Should my wife need to apply for her Educational assessment for claiming those 5 points?

Your response is much appreciated!

No, if your wife has a positive skills assessment that is all she needs other than IELTS.

Interesting one. Doesn't ACS come up with "your degree is equivalent to major/minor in ...." for non -RPL applications?

 

[_shel]

No because with RPL they dont look at qualifications but work experience. They need to be assessed elsewhere if you need points for it but you only need to do that if you are the main applicant.

I'm assuming the look into qualification in "Skills (general application)"

Thanks much Shel My wife has scored 6 in each sections of IELTS and the above results from ACS and my wife is <30 yrs. So that is all I wanted to claim 5 points for spouse?

Hi Arunvas,

yes, since her occupation is on the SOL you can definitely go ahead and claim partner points.

Thank you Monika! Just worried because of the statement ACS assessment report as I mentioned earlier. That statement has nothing to do for me to claim 5 points? Sorry I just wanted to make it confirmed so that I dont hear a bang later by CO
