Thanks for the advice, it is very much appreciated. Have you got your visa now? If so how long after the case officer contact? And did you get employment verification?(my contact has gone on maternity leave) ? thanks paul

wow, thanks for that advice

Hi All, I'm looking for some help, i've been asked further information from my case officer regarding the below: 1, Evidence of Employment (this is ok as they want additional bank statements to show remuneration for the last 9 years which I can get) 2, Evidence of Self Employment This is what has confused me, as I'm not claiming any self employment, I work for the family business and have done for the last 15 years, I supplied them with 3 years P60 and 3 years worth of payslips, I don't know what they want, or how I reply to it? 3, Evidence of Sponsorship This is strange, I supplied them with my Uncle's Passport, Driving Licence, Water Bill, Council Tax Bill, and the sponsorship declaration, I'm guessing they want a link, so I've now got all the paperwork certified along with his birth certificate, showing mother/father, i've also got my dad's birth certificate and I have created a family tree, would this be enough? n.b. also every document I submitted was high quality colour originals, yet they are asking for them to be certified, so does that mean all the paperwork i submit that they ask for has to be certified or can I submit the colour copies? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Paul

Hi wrussell, thanks for the reply, i've been working at the same company for 15 years now, i don't have any payslips from that far back, would 3 years worth be suffice with a p60 for each year? do i need bank statements? thanks

Hi, i've started my visa application, just wondered if anyone could clarify a few things? 1, do all documents need to be certified? 2, the website says 1 payslip from current employer but others says as many as possible? thanks Paul

Hi all, i submitted a 189 (70 Pts) & 489 (80 pts) on 3rd November 2017, now I got an invite on 3rd January for the 489 visa, but this is not really the one I want, I’m wondering if anyone can give any advice as to if I might get the 189 visa invite before this one expires? oh and I’m on the pro rata list for 263111 computer network engineer. thanks paul

Hi, I have no qualifications, it's all work experience. I obtained a successful skills assessment from ACS. Why? does this matter? thanks Paul

website updated now, showing invitations on 9th & next one on 22nd Nov.

Hi All, I know its very difficult to predict, but the waiting game is killing me!! I updated my EOI to 70 pts on 1st Nov, am i right in thinking i should get an invite soon? thanks Paul

Hi, I don't have an invite, I applied in Dec 2016, with 60pts, i've just got a diploma now, taking me upto 70pts and have updated my EOI today. my points breakdown is Age 25pts English 20pts Work Exp 15pts Diplom 10pts Thanks Paul

Hi All, I submitted a 189 visa in december 2016, but only had 60pts, for Computer network Engineer, which is now pro-rata. I have just got a diploma which gives me another 10 pts, my question is what is the waiting for 70 pts under this category? I know it's difficult to predict, but someone might have or be in a similar situation to mine? any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Paul

The occupation is computer network professional, it's pro rata with 65 points

Hi Julie, thanks for the reply, was your job on the pro rata list?

Hi All, I applied with 60pts back in dec for a 189 visa, but as it is pro rata occupation i need more points so am doing a RPL diploma. I have just today applied for a family 489 visa with 70pts, and i was wondering if anyone can shed any light in timescales etc. many thanks Paul
