Australia

Hello Anil,

I need your help to mention work experience in EOI. Please check my ACS result below:

The following employment after 01 March 2016 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately skilled
level and relevant to ANZSCO Code 261212 (Web Developer).
Dates: 03/14 - 02/18 - 3 year(s) 11 month(s)
Position: Web Developer
Employer: XYZ
Country: Outside Of Australia

Dates: 04/18 - 10/19 - 1 year(s) 6 month(s)
Positon: Web Developer
Employer: ABC
Country: Australia

How do I add my experience in EOI for the XYZ company?
As I will not get any point for XYZ because it’s less than 3 year, is it mandatory to add this experience as RELATED in EOI or not?

If I mark it as NO, will the case officer doubt on this or it should be YES?

Thank you,

Rajan Saini

You need to mention the XYZ company experience after 01 Mar 2016 as “related” because you are assessed by ACS for that. Adding ABC company will make your total experience of 3.6 years which will get you 5 points for GSM and the skillselect (EOI) will count it automatically.
You can mention XYZ exp prior to 01 Mar 2016 in the EOI but mark it as “not related”.

Case officer do not look at your EOI. The system picks it up automatically if an invite is issued on that EOI. And after that you need to show proof of the points claimed while filling your Visa application or state sponsorship application (for 190).

Thank you for your reply, my ABC company experience is from Australia so I don’t think that will add with Indian experience. So the Indian skilled experience will remain around 1 year and 11 months. That’s why I was asking if I can skip this ( mark as NOT RELATED ) I may no need to show the proof of this experience. Because I will not get any point for that. Do you still think it’s necessary to mark as RELATED?

Is the experience prior to 1 march is mandatory to mention in EOI or I can skip this?

Thank you,
Rajan

If you are not gaining any points from this ABC company experience, then marking it as either “related” or “not related” will not make any difference.

Yes, you should mention it irrespective of the fact whether you are gaining any points out of it or not.

Example B is correct since your employment after 1st Mar 2016 has been assessed as positive so the start date should be 2nd Mar 2016.
