I received ACS assesment today with 261399(Software and application programmer) anzsco code. I have been working as a senior software engineer, associate lead, project lead in different organizations.
At the time of filing, I was not sure which code to select under 2613. I hear some say 261399 is good for nothing, is that so? And somewhere I read it is not eligible for 189 program.
Should I file my EOI with this code or should I get it changed to 261312(Developer programmer). What is the process should I again pay full fees for getting assessed.
how does the draw for pr invite take place, does it take place separately for each code under 261312, 261313, 261399 or does it take place as all the applications under 2613 category. Because in the ministry of home affairs website , I have seen invites for 2613 not specifically for 261312 or so on.
Hi Anil,
Can you please give more clarity on November 2019 point system changes? Me and my partner fall under 2613 job code and yet to give English exam.
Thanks @kvisred and @Anil.Gupta
As of now working hard to get 20 points in PTE.
Then only it is beneficial to apply.
Also one more question :
I have done my graduation (BTech) in computer science and I have 6.5 years of experience in IT(Software Testing). Points for experience will be 10 or 5 ?
Hi Anil - Is 261399 applicable for both 189/190. ACS has recommended me this code and have asked me to pay 200 AUD more. Not sure about the other documents that I had already submitted, whether ACS has done a due diligence of them or not . What are your views-- thanks ayon
If they have suggested then it means that they looked at your documents and then found them to be more suitable for that code rather than what you chose.
As always thank you Anil …Is 261399 eligible for 189/190 ? I was reading various other sources and it seems some are saying this code is not eligible 189 or 190 .
You can check the code on official Australia immigration website. Its the best source to get reliable information for current codes that are available for 189 and 190 visa.
