Hi Sir,

Please clarify my queries related to ACS Skill assessment,

I had a positive skill assessment in 2017 and recently it was expired and again I submitted in Nov 2019 but I got a negative outcome mentioning - Not Assessable Due to Insufficient Documentation for all the three companies I worked earlier.
I mailed them about my result and they replied saying as below highlighted in bold,

  1. Your employment at three companies does not have evidence of payment.
    – I can provide all the present and before company payslips and form 16 documents as part of payment evidence. But for the first company, I was paid in cash in which I was not able to submit any payment evidence. In this case, all my first company experience years will not be considered?
    In the 2017 assessment, 6 years deducted (BTECH- EEE) as I fall under ICT Minor.

  2. Furthermore, the statutory declaration uploaded states you were employed until 2017. If you wish to claim employment until 2019, you will need to provide an updated statutory declaration. When a statutory declaration is provided in the event an employer reference cannot be obtained, an explanation will be required as to why an employment reference letter cannot be obtained. The declarant must provide evidence of their employment as well.

– Statutory declaration from the year Oct 2017 to till date (As I had already submitted a statutory declaration document for the present company from July 2011 to Sep 2017 - No need to submit again right?.

  1. An explanation letter from my employer on official company letterhead as to why an employment reference letter cannot be provided.
    If I am not able to get the explanation on the company letterhead, an email from my HR works as evidence?

Please suggest on how to proceed.

Hi @Suresh_Kapisetty

ACS will reject the work experience if you can’t prove it on paper that salary was paid. So, if you can’t prove cash payments, then you are out of luck.

You have to resubmit all reference letters again even for 2011-2017 period as this is a fresh assessment now.

I am not sure if ACS is accepting an email from HR. My suggestion is to get it on company letter head.

I have a question related to Bank statement after changing ACS policies. I have all documents that is required as payment evidence, However, the bank statements is showing only “SALARY” remarks in the salary transactions. Will ACS accept that along with my payslips and other supporting documents like an experience letter from my company?

One more questions, how many salary slip do I need to provide for each year of employment. I have 4.5 years with my current company so do I need to share full 4.5 years of bank statements or specific to the provided salary slips if payslips are required for specific months?

Thanks

@Suresh_Kapisetty

An explanation will be required from your employer as to why an employment reference letter cannot be provided.

Can you throw some light on above line as per your experience. I only have a email from company reference letter team asking me to change format of letter which wont comply with ACS.

If along with statutory declaration, i also submit my proof of employment from my employer on a company letter head. would that workout?

Hi,
1.My company is not ready to provide roles and responsibilities on letter head so
Reference letter from college with attestation and mail from HR/ Manager saying company can’t provide those details. Is this enough

2.Is it mandatory to provide bank statements as well along with payslips and form 16

Dear Sir. Thank you so much for valuable information you shared on ACS docs with examples.

I need to ask you something on FORM 16. I’ve got two PAN numbers. One PAN number is used on all the FORM 16s from my past employers.

The new PAN number is being used in my current organisation’s FORM 16. Could you please share if it could be an issue when submitting FORM 16 with ACS?

Your reply, and expert guidance would be highly appreciated Sir.

Hi Muhammad,

How did you go with the assessment with Bank statements showing Salary? Was your experience accepted or did you add another form of payment evidence?

Thanks

Hi Anil,
Can you pls advice on the below for employment docs. I am about to submit docs for ACS assessment awaiting for below answers

  1. If roles & responsibilities and all other details mentioned in my Service letter do I still need any other reference letters from co-workers ?
  2. Also couldn’t get roles & responsibilities mentioned for one of the past employer. So here I need to get co-worker letter on Stamp paper or Notary is sufficient?
    Stamp paper has any specification like 100rs or 50rs ?
  3. Does Payslips need to be certified(seal & signature) by employer ?
    I have Payslips with me but not certified !

Hi All,

I am going to apply for ACS assessment. I have been employed in 3 different companies from 2011- to present. I have the following documents:

Work Experience Letters - - Letters from all the employers from 2011-till present.

Roles and Responsibilities Letters - Letters from all the employers from 2011-till present.

Payment Evidence : 1. Payslips from all the employers from 2011- till present.
2. Form 16 from 2011-till present

Educational Documents - B.tech Degree, All the semester wise marksheets (1st - 8th semester with details of course names), 12th Certificate (marksheet), 10th Certificate (marksheet)

I have two questions on the ACS assessment:

  1. Are the above documents sufficient for submission or do I need to add any other document? Also, the latest guideline from Sep, 2019 mentions the transcript for educational documents So wanted to know from you guys if you are submitting the university transcripts or marksheets are sufficient?

  2. My wife is also going to apply for the ACS assessment. Her name was changed after marriage. So, her first employment and educational documents have her maiden name but the current passport and current employment have name changed. Is Marriage Certificate enough to satisfy the name change criteria or any other document is required for this?

Hello Anil,

I need to confirm below two below points related to payment evidence.

  • I have form 16 from my first company, where I used to work in year 2011, however it’s just form 16 part B not part A, as my salary wasn’t taxable, so will that work.
    -Second, I have got bank statement for year 2011 - 2013, that I have got from back on a request but it is on blank paper with bank signature and stamp on it, as it is a closed account so I can not download it from internet banking, will this also work or not.

Thanks a lot in advance, looking forward to hear back from you.

Hi All,

I’m planning to initiate the process for Australian PR and have some queries regarding the same:

  1. Currently, I’m living in India. I had lived in Australia from Dec 2014 - Oct 2016. Will I need
    PCC from Australian authorities for PR?
  2. Can I apply for both 189 and 190 visa at the same time?
  3. Can I apply for state sponsorship(190 visa) from multiple states at the same time?
  4. I have been working in same company since last 9 years. I have worked on assignments in
    India, Australia and Norway locations. I’m going to submit salary slips and form16 as
    payment evidences.
    a. I don’t have form16 for 2 FYs. Is it fine if I submit salary certificates for those 2 years and
    form16 for rest?
    b. Since, I had worked in foreign locations, do I need to submit tax documents(similar to
    form16) for these countries like payg for Australia? I don’t have the tax document for
    Norway.
  5. Can we submit a combination of documents like (salary slips for all years) + (form 16 for
    few years and bank statement for missing ones)?
  6. I can see 2 types of document for work experience:
    a. Sample Work Experience Letter (for Australia PR Assessment) - Australia
    b. Australia Statutory Affidavit Sample - Co Worker Letter -
    . Now, I can’t get a work experience document from company HR on letterhead. I can maybe
    ask my Manager or colleague to sign one for me. In that case, I think document b. is the
    right format, correct? Will ACS accept document b. on company letterhead? If no, then
    what is the alternative? My company will also not give a document on letterhead stating the
    reason for not providing document a.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
S

Yes. PCC is needed from any country where the applicant has lived for more than 12 months.

Yes. You can definitely submit EOI for both 189/190 at the same time. If you receive an invite for any one visa subclass, withdraw the other EOI.

Yes. Its always better to submit separate EOIs for different states/visas.

No idea about the rest of your questions as it relates to ACS assessment.
