Might add that I'm not using an agent when submitting this application 

Thanks @MaggieMay24 for the response. By the looks of things all the documents are recommended. So I'm struggling to identify which documents are used to make a decision besides police and health checks.

I'd also like to know whether it's necessary to attach all documents requested for the visa application, or whether I should just wait for immigrations to request specific documents?

Are you also able to advise me whether I need to get a medical/health examination & or police clearance?

Hey. I've been working in Australia since March 2013 on a 417 which I migrated to a 457 in January 2014. 

I'm in the process of applying for a 186. The nomination was lodged on the 30th November 2016 & approved on 28 June 2017.

I currently have two issues with regards to completing the application:

• There is a question during application: “Has any applicant overstayed a visa in any country (including Australia)?”

Unfortunately the answer to the first is YES. I overstayed my South African tourist visa by 1-5 days (can confirm) in 2010 - this was due to having to book a later flight with friend.

• The visa is asking for a skills assessment - “Does the application have a suitable skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority, which is ont for a Subclass 485 (Temporary Graduate) visa?”

I’d like to know whether it’s necessary to undertake a skills assessment? Since I have worked for the current employer for 4+

Any help & or further advice will be greatly appreciated. 

Cheers.
