steph0991 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Hi all I am in the process of uploading the supporting documents for our visa - 189 skilled visa with my fiance, he is the main applicant. After alot of pleading with a previous employer of his we have finally managed to get an employment reference from when he was there 4 years ago, i was wondering does the Auz Gov get in touch with each of his previous employers through the references we have provided? Or do the Auz Gov just check our supporting documents and do not follow them up? Thanks all! Also should we get all documents certified? as i read that any documents that are not original copies should be certified but then i also read somewhere else that it was certified passport, certified birth certificate, ID etc but didn't say certified employment and qualification documents. Thank you in advance!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainC Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 The department may contact employers and often do according to some applicants on the forum. I didn't personally have my employment checked, but a colleague of mine did. If you are uploading full colour scans of original documents then they do not need to be certified.

Thank you in advance!! You cannot be included as a secondary applicant on your fiancés application. The DIBP often undertake integrity checks, sometimes by unannounced workplace visits.
