I don't really understand the 190 visas, so you have a job already? Good luck with it all Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

Hi all, just wondered if there are any teachers currently applying for 189/190 visa at the moment? Would be great to hear from you! I'm a secondary teacher and my wife is a primary teacher and we are submitting our 189 application this month. Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

Can you tell me about the activation time? So from the time you get your visa granted, how long do you have to enter the country to activate your visa? Once activated can you come and go as you please? Or do you have to stay in the country for a minimum amount of time? Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

What about bank statements highlighting payments in to your husband for work? Could that help support? Sorry I can't really help, that's a super tricky one, hopefully someone has some advice for you Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

That definitely stumped me on the practise tests. I was reading too much into it so the advice below is perfect. Good luck, let us know how you get on [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

Better than expected! My wife got me to practise a lot [emoji38] I got a 9 overall which pushed my points up to 75 so think that's why we got our invite so quickly. Was so relieved to get it done. The listening was the trickiest to be honest as they spoke so quickly, if you miss one part you can lose about 5 marks just like that so don't let it catch you out like I thought it did me! Good luck, you'll be fine. Do you need a certain score? Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

Is this form essential for visa application? I'm wondering whether to fill it in and upload it now when I submit my application to save time or whether just wait for the case worker to ask for it? It's 16 pages long so don't want to make more work for myself if I can help it!! Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

That's what I want to know! I think it's crazy to need to do this, surely a contract letter showing beginning and end of contract and a bank summary showing payments should be ok? I'm going to try this first with my visa application documents. I didn't need to show pay slips for my skills assessment Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

Yes, did the skills assessment in January and IELTS test in April. Got our EOI invite in may so ready to submit our visa application now just need to pay! We're not sure where we're going yet, going to see where we can get a job really but like the look of Brisbane. How about you?

Great idea, thanks Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

I'm trying to get a letter from HR to say I was employed at a school from x to x and my job description so as long as that is on official paper plus bank statements I can't see how they can argue with that really. Good luck with yours! Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

To be honest I'm not sure I would have every single one, my husband keeps a lot of things like that (I used to moan about it to him and now I'm so happy he has [emoji23]). If we kept them all it would be 120 slips [emoji33] who needs to see that??!!Maybe if we have a contract and letters to show employment dates as well that might help?

Thanks for the help! Good luck with yours too! and to you! [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

Have you also attached your letters of employment and contracts? Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

Hi, Could someone tell me, when I upload the documents to prove my work experience I am claiming points for, do I need to upload every payslip I've had?! I have 10 years experience which I'm claiming for which is a heck of a lot of payslips!! What other documents would I need to evidence my employment history? Many thanks Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

Oh really? I thought everything uploaded had to be certified? That's great if it doesn't as it will save so much time. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

Hi all! This site is so helpful, hoping I can find an answer here! Can I ask a headteacher to certify the certificates I'm attaching to my 189 visa application? I was able to do that for the skills assessment but unsure if I can do it for the visa application too or whether i need to use a solicitor? Many thanks ?
