Hi, I thought that they take into account your uk salary until the end of the financial year, ie from July 2013 until June 2014. Would you not need documents to show what you have earned in the uk so they can work out how much you can claim?

Hi, hoping someone can answer my question. We are in the middle of applying for SS for south oz and OH has just passed his skills test as a mechanic. We are getting the visa based solely on his occupation, no points are coming from my occupation as a primary teacher. My question is this: once we arrive, can I just register as a teacher in South Aus, do the required first aid and police checks and start doing relief work or do my skills need to be assessed by AITSL, the oz teacher skills assessment agency? Our migration agent says no as we are not using my occupation for the visa but I wanted to check as don't want to arrive and then find out that I do need to do it as it will be so much harder to get all the required paperwork over there. Am really hoping I don't have to have skills assessed as it's more money to spend out and another load of paperwork to deal with!! Anyone know the answer to this? Thanks for reading!

Hi, just wondered if anyone could advice if they have heard of this before: general vehicle mechanic practical test was done on 25th jan. The examiner said that, off the record, everyone had passed and that vetasses basically go on what they say. Our agent received an email today saying that vetasses had been in touch and want to do a 30 minute phone interview with their trade assessor based in Melbourne to "finalise the assessment". Our agent says she has never heard of this before and was very odd. Has anyone experienced this before?! Or have any idea why they would want to do this..is it a borderline fail?! All qualifications have been assessed and verified and practical went well. Could it be that they couldn't read writing in the assessment book?! Really worried now as we just assumed all was ok. Any replies would be appreciated :unsure:
