So... I know that the depreciation of Australian property is limited to 40 years, after that you can only claim for the internal fixtures and fittings etc. Would this be the same for UK property since it is generally older anyway? I expect not sadly but worth asking. My house in the UK is a 1930's end of terrace house supplied with some fixtures like nice floor coverings, a range cooker and canopy, carpets etc etc.

Did you get this problem sorted? I am now in the same situation.

No you dont and I had the answer all along on some notes I had copied from a website... Checklist for application ( Some of) · Certified copies of the biographical pages of the current passports or travel documents of all people included in the application (these are the pages with the holder's photo and personal details and the issue/expiry dates). · One recent passport sized photograph (45 mm x 35 mm) of each person included in the application. o These photographs should be of the head and shoulders only against a plain background. o Print the name of the person on the back of the photograph. · If your name has changed or the name of anyone included in your application has changed: a certified copy of evidence of the name change. · If anyone included in the application has served in the armed forces of any country: certified copies of their military service record or discharge papers. · Police checks for everyone included in the visa application who is 16 years of age or older: o an Australian National Police Check for anyone who has spent a cumulative total of 12 months or more in Australia since turning 16 years of age o police certificates from each country in which anyone in your application has spent a cumulative total of 12 months or more in the past 10 years since turning 16 years of age. Provide the original certificates and keep a copy for yourself.

Wow that was quick, thanks. I didn't notice it was there when I wrote that last message asking about the kids.

I am just reading through the australian national police checks form and the question popped up in my head... Do I need to get my 7 and 11 year old kids checked too?

Thanks a lot. i still need to search for the UK one.

Hi all, I just wanted to check that I am correct in saying that when applying for national police checks to transfer my 457 to a 186 PR visa I would be looking at this website / area. http://www.afp.gov.au/what-we-do/police-checks/national-police-checks.aspx#fees

Thanks very much for the information and good luck. I know you will be busy but I would really appreciate it if you let me know how you got on and any issues that you do have. Thanks again :biggrin: Paul

Hi all, I am about to start putting together my application for PR from 457 to 186 (employer nominated). I know the process is probably simpler than it looks on the outset and I will have a company checking the documents over for me (Fragomen) before they are submitted but the company that are doing that will not be able to start helping me until my the company I work for tell them to so I'm on my own until then. I wanted to find out if anyone had been through the process and could give any tips, links or any other info which could help. Even just the story of how you did it would be helpful. Many thanks Paul

I did but I couldnt find it, well done for putting this up for me so quickly. I just came back on to say that I had been emailed it by one of the people there after being on hold for 30 mins. Is it the same as mine..? http://www.immi.gov.au/skills/skillselect/index/checklists/186-applicant-checklist.pdf Thanks again.

Howdy all, I am looking for a list of things I will need to prepare for my application for my transition from my 457 visa to a EN186. I will be applying in Feb and the company I work for are probably going to pay for it so I want to be as ready as possible. I know a few things that I will need to prepare but I am struggling to find out exactly what will be required from me. I cant find much on the DIAC website and end up going round and round in circles. I phoned them up the other day and sat on hold for 20 mins and had to quit waiting because my kids wanted to have some fun. I have asked my HR dept but they will hand over the application to a company called Fragomen and I also called Fragomen and they will not divulge the information until they know they are going to get paid for helping me and my company are still not sure if they will be doing so (althought there is no reason they wouldn't) so I am going round in circles and getting no where fast. Does anyone know if it a simple list and a standard list or is it case specific. I have heard tha I will need to find things like a list of every country I have been to in the last ten years and also dates, police and health checks in both countries.
