For those holders of 2231-79 skills assessments: if eligible you can apply for an ANZSCO code via a new skills assessment application.
If this assessment is made with the evidence only from your recalled (original) file, your second result letter will be issued with the same qualifications and experience noted. This should be considered by the Department for Immigration & Citizenship as a review for migration visa application purposes.
There are no guarantees that qualifications and experience will automatically map to a new occupation code. The Australian Computer Society will undergo a thorough assessment process to ascertain the appropriateness of the application.
