  Dear Friend,
  
  Can you please clarify me whether I can claim 5 points for my 3 years work experience post qualification B.Tech. Computer Science Engineering for my 189 visa?
  
  Please find below my ACS Result Letter:
  
  Your skills have been assessed to be suitable for migration under 261313 (Software Engineer) of the
  ANZSCO Code.
  Your qualification has been assessed as follows:
  Your Bachelor of Technology from xxx completed June 2009 has been assessed
  as comparable to an AQF Bachelor Degree with a major in computing.
  The following employment after October 2013 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately
  skilled level and relevant to 261313 (Software Engineer) of the ANZSCO Code.
  Dates: 04/10 - 02/12 (1yrs 10mths)
  Position: Software Engineer
  Employer: xxx
  Country: INDIA
  Dates: 11/12 - 03/14 (1yrs 4mths)
  Position: Software Engineer
  Employer: xxx
  Country: UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
  
  
  My MARA Agent says I can as DIAC Calculates the work experience themselves. But I believe I can't.
  
  I read so many similar threads and posts here and still I'm not able to decide as he already submitted my EOI and I may receive invitation to apply for 189 visa next week. I only have 60 points including this and if I lose experience points I need to think of state nomination.
  
  Please reply urgently. Thanks in advance.

  Assessing authorities that have publicly available standards on their website that we will refer to for assessing skilled employment are:
  
  The Australian Computing Society (ACS): Migration Skills Assessment - see 'Summary of Criteria'
  If the relevant assessing authority standards for assessing skilled employment does not have publicly available standards that we refer to, your employment experience must meet at least the minimum indicative skill level set by the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO). This may apply to occupations which require registration as evidence of a suitable skills assessment.
  
  ===
  Skilled employment is where:
  
  the relevant assessing authority provides an opinion in your suitable skills assessment that your employment is skilled (you must use the date that skilled employment commenced stated in your skills assessment)
  your employment experience meets the standards for skilled employment set by the relevant assessing authority on their website.
