Total Employment History to mention in EOI or only skilled as per ACS

Hi all Seniors,

I have a big doubt in my mind.

Situation: I got my ACS done in Jan 2014 and currently I will have Total Work Experience of 5 years by August 2014.

Graduation: Electronics and Communication

ACS declared me as ICT MAJOR and deducted my 2 years.

and says that I can claim points from August 2011 Onwards.

Now I am going to fill in my EOI when my total experience of 5 years would be complete and after reducing 2 years. I will get 3 years of skilled experience for to claim experience points.


My Doubt: IN EOI its mentioned clearly that :
If the client receives an invitation to lodge a visa application it will

be based on the information presented in their EOI. If they lodge a visa

application and their assessed points score is less than what they claimed

in their EOI and indicated in the invitation letter, or they cannot provide

evidence of a claimed factor, their visa application may be refused even if

they are able to pass the points test or meet the threshold criteria.


NOW, while filling EOI we have to mention Total Work Experience as per dates of employment inside EOI.

and then EOI automatically calculates our Experience points for total experience as their is no demarcation for to separate skilled / non skilled or claimed /non claimed experience.

If I fill my complete employment history in EOI in august 2014 . EOI will automatically award me 65 points for independent visa 189. whereas
as per ACS my points would be 60 .. I got 7 each in IELTS.

My Question:

1. How to separate skilled , non skilled experience in EOI filling? so as to claim points for 3 years only whereas EOI asks for Complete Job History and Auto calculates Points??

2. I did Graduation in ECE still ACS considered me ICT major with 2 yrs deduction. What would CO do .. will he reduce my 4 years or will blindly follow ACS as it is the assessment body of Australia itself and DIAc has recommended it.??

Also,

Can we file in 2 Different EOI's at the same time 1 for 189 and 1 for 190 ??


Thanks in Advance Seniors..

Very simple answer mate :D

Looks like you have not browsed EOI website yet... you will get clear option for marking your employment 'relevant'

Hence for first 2 years of employment - do not select the check box for relevancy and for the following years select the same... this way EOI system will take into credit only 3 years

For your final query, yes DIBP blindly believes assessing authority...

one more concern mainak..

Hi Seniors,

I have a simple doubt to ask..

Situation:
My assessment came in jan 2014 and my skilled experience has been counted from 2011 August onwards..

From 1st April 2014 onwards my role changed from Systems Engineer to Test Engineer within the same company ..andi want to claim points for this designation as well under 261313 itself.

I will file My EOI in August 2014 to claim points for 3 years post deduction of 2 years.

Doubt:
Do I need to get ACS done again for past 6-7 months where I am in same company and role has been reassigned from Systems Engineer to Test Engineer ??

OR

Just a self declaration will work out once CO is Assigned??


Thanks in Advance

Hi Guys,

I have worked in 3 diff organizations. I got my assessment done by ACS and it was positive. They have assessed 3 years of experience as skilled. I am ok with that. I filled my EOI based on the job assessed as skilled by ACS and got the invite.

Before my graduation, I had worked for 1 year and I did not send that to ACS because I did not have documents for that and anyways that woudln't have been assessed because it was before my graduation..

So the question is: Should I mention this employment while lodging the application and mark it as not related?? or should not mention it at all as I did in ACS?

Please respond. Thank you!
