How much research up to now have you done? I'm a chef going through the process at the moment. Have you been to Australia before?

Hi there all hopes this helps somebody, I'm just applying for my 457 visa with agent and he sent me this checklist through. • Certified good clear copies of all passports. • Certified copy of the applicant’s Marriage Certificate. • If you are not married but live in a de facto relationship, I MUST be able to prove this relationship has been in existence for at least 12 months – i.e. joint bank accounts, property held in joint names, leases in joint names, Electricity/Gas or other Services Bills in joint names. All these documents must be Certified copies. Please advise what documents you are able to provide. • Certified copies of any children’s Birth Certificates to prove that his Parents are the two people on the application. • 4 x Passport size photos, certified on the back that they are a true photo of each person included in the application. This certification should read – THIS IS A TRUE PHOTOGRAPH OF “JOE BLOGS” d.o.b. 03/05/1982 – SIGNED BY A JP OR SOLICITOR. • Applicant’s up-to-date CV. • Applicant’s references to back up his CV & employment from as far back as possible, from school if possible. These references MUST have information about working for the company, on a full time basis, from a specific date to a specific date (01 Feb 1998 – 23 Mar 2002 as an example) as an Apprentice first of all with your first employer, then once qualified, as a qualified Fibrous Plasterer or a similar name you may have for your skilled occupation, a list of daily duties and then a list of tools required to carry out those daily duties. These references should be on the company’s letter headed paper, signed and dated. Please scan what you already have and we can work from there. • If the applicant has gained an Apprenticeship through City & Guild, NVQ, FAS or similar, Certified copies of the Apprenticeship and Transcript. • If the applicant has been in the Armed Forces, I will need a copy of their discharge papers. • Does the Applicant or Spouse have a Criminal record? If so, we will need you to apply for a Police Report. I can provide the details to whom you should apply. • Please sign and date page 3 of the Employment Agreement and scan just that page back to me. • Certified copies MUST be signed by a person who can sign “sworn” documents, such as a Solicitor, Justice of the Peace, Notary Public, Police Officer. Perhaps, ask at your local Court House. Please ask if you have a doubt to make sure the person you are having sign the Certified documents can, indeed, legally Certify documents.
