hi there, my employer is going to nominate me on the 186 direct entry visa, as a bricklayer. I previously did my skills assesment although it doesnt ask for it on this visa, but i was originally going to go down another route!!! we have filled the application online,i have filled the form 80 out. he has gathered all evidence proving he is a trading business, also employing austrailian workers and he has a austrailian apprentice,his insurances and the wages are all above board. i have job contract my resume and trade cirts. i think we are pretty much ready to submit the application, just a confused where people are saying they got the employer approved 1st, then got there application in? i was planning on submitting everything, forms and evidance at once, along with the payment? is this the correct way of doing things?? i will then be put onto a bridging visa according to immergration and was planning on getting my police checks and medical (if needed) after?? am i going down the correct road?? any advice would be a massive help! thanks in advance!
