Hi,
I am currently working on 457 in Australia and wish to apply for PR 189 visa. I have yet to put in EOI (pending IELTS) but was going through what documents I need to have ready if I am invited to apply. Will they require re-submission of things like birth certificate and employment history, given that these were part of my 457 application? I need to be prepared as some of these items are back in the UK at the moment.
Also, a question about the points allocation. I can get 5 points for having worked in my occupation in Australia for between 1-3 years. Can I also claim 5 points in the other factors section which refers to having done a professional year in Aus in the 4 years before applying (the explanation of this section then refers to courses whereas I had assumed this referred to actual work done?).
Thanks in anticipation.
