Jars 10 Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) Hey Jars, Would you be willing to share your list of documents required for 176 please? :biggrin: Here's the list! P60 + 2 recent payslips Updated employer reference Birth certificates for everyone (full certificates for everyone else and abridged for me whilst I'm waiting for my full certificate to be sent from South Africa to the UK) Naturalisation certificate for myself IELTS results Qualifications + transcripts Bank statement, council tax, car insurance doc, electricity doc etc (proof of address) Marriage certificate VETASSESS skills assessment WA state sponsorship Oh, and of course passport copies I think that's all I gave our agents, so not sure what actually was uploaded in the end! We also completed Forms 80 just in case - what an annoying form!

CROWDED HOUSE 10 Posted May 2, 2012 ooo hopefully we will be able to join this thread too with our application, just waiting for our daughters' passports to come so we can submit 176. Ive started filling out the form online but cant go past the screen where i need to put their passport numbers in. Does the app take a long time to fill out? Can I ask why u need to include p60 and work references? My partner works for himself so I guess they will want evidence of that. Ive seen Feb and March appicants get their visas granted within 6/8 weeks so hopefully April/May will too! Getting the Visa was the easy part! :eek: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ms Petite 10 Posted May 2, 2012 Received an automated response from the GSM center re my 176 application yesterday - it gives a list of documents that's required - I have front loaded all docs including Form 80 but now its requesting form 1221 - Is this normal - did anyone else receive this? Also tried to book my medical yesterday and received the following response form the e-clinic ' I have tried your TRN number but I cannot access. Have you ticked the box for our clinic which is around the medical information on your application'. I didn't get a chance to print out my visa application - r they talking about form 26EH - I thought that was filled out on the day of the medical.

Any advice from people who have already done medicals Ignore the automated e-mail, it's pretty much the same for everyone. Go by your online 'document checklist' Form 26EH and 160EH are auto-filled when you lodge the online app. Just take a printout when you go for the Meds. Too easy, mate.

Ive seen Feb and March appicants get their visas granted within 6/8 weeks so hopefully April/May will too! Sorry, can't help you much with the form as our agent did all that (phew!!). I submitted my P60 and work experience only because VETASSESS assessed my post-qualification skills at about 2yrs 8 months but by the time I submitted the 176 I have actually done 3 years post-qual (more before that but did my degree part-time whilst I was working so that unfortunately didn't count). So the P60 etc was just to prove that I am still in the same position as what they used to assess me. Hope that makes sense - I get confused with it all myself! lol :eek: Hope your daughters' passports arrive soon so that you can submit yours too VETASSESS lodged 14/11/11 received 22/03/12 | IELTS 16/11/11 Overall 8.5 | WA SS lodged 03/04/12 received 27/04/12 | 176 lodged 01/05/12 CO 29/05 Meds 01/06 PCC 14/06 Visa granted 15/06/12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smithinoz 10 Posted May 2, 2012 Has anyone had any issues with uploading docs? Basically after I had paid, a page appeared with a document checklist. Printed it off to start gathering the bits I didn't have ready. When I logged in again to review the app, the list is completely different. The kids medicals have dissapeareed (non migrating dependents). When I phoned the clinic, they had me and hubby down, but no kids. Anyone else had this? Also I can't upload anything either now. The link where a password is required won't accept the password I had been using all day. My TRN number is identical to the number I had been logging on with, just less an S. Stressing me out a little. I love technology, when it works. Feel like I did everything right but now it's given up the ghost.
