Hi,

Thanks for your reply! I'm onshore and holding a 457 visa. Yes I think it might have slightly different. Thanks anyway:)

Elainey

Either way it's a pain ?

Good luck to you

Hi,

I have same situation as you, have to put my application in before March for 186visa. Just wondering are you applying onshore or offshore? And where did you get your skill assessment done? it's only pay and submit the skill assessment form from TRA. Do you have to do the demonstrations of your skill? Thanks advance if you can give me some information and your experience about this.

Hey Elainey,

Ours seems slightly different from alot I've read on forums and Facebook (Poms in Oz-original). My husband is the main visa applicant. It's a government job. We sent all certificates etc to them and they sent it off to their trade assessment and came back with a job offer. Took around 5 months. No demonstration and all offshore.

If you follow the link I posted in 'steps to take' you will find a list of docs required for both employer and applicant.

 

 

Cheers. Much appreciated

Do you have a skills assessment?  Info can be found here https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/186-

i assume you will be applying for direct entry stream so unless applying as an academic or certain gov jobs you will need a skills assessment.  If the company has not sponsored anyone before they also have quite a bit to do before they can nominate the position.

 

i suggest more research is in order.

Thanks rammygirl.

Skills assement all done, all passed, I just literally need to know whats documents we require for the visa when we lodge. Birth certificates, police checks etc. What else?

Edit**** just followed the link and found the documents section. It's alot less than i thought! Thank you for your help

A little help please. We're in the process of getting everything together for a 186 visa (found an employer in Aus). We're hoping to lodge our visa by Feb/ March the latest.

Could you please let me know what documentation will be needed? Birth certificates etc. My husband was previously married around 15 years ago so will we need his decree absolute? And do the police checks need to be submitted at the time of lodging? What other documents do we need?

Thank you for your help

That's what i was thinking too Snifter. Think I'll just do that

I have searched the internet for an answer and can't find one. My husband and i need a USA police check (FBI check). We have different surnames. Should we send these separately in different envelopes or can we send them together? This seems like such a trivial question but I'm really confused by this. I'm guessing it should be sent in separate envelopes?

Kind regards.
