Smitty Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 We now have a case officer... requested further information. Wants the last 8 years pay evidence. That will be tonight's job and then hopefully a grant will be next! Good luck peeps... hope others have grants! Pay evidence??? Is this something new? Was employment record (years of experience statement by your employer) not enough? Good luck anyways...Hope to hear your good news soon.

In the document checklist for 189 visa, Pay evidence, bank statements are not listed so I did not attach them with my application. I hope it does not come and bite me in my butt.:frown: Oh boy it would be a lot of work to organize them now!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainR Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I uploaded two payslips per year of employment spanning 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was employment record (years of experience statement by your employer) not enough?Good luck anyways...Hope to hear your good news soon. X No wasn't enough, we thought we may be Ok as the employment history was ACS assessed as well. Just want either P45 or two payslips at the beginning and end. Got to hunt it all out. Bit annoying but hopefully this will be it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FP215 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I was also asked for additional pay and tax evidence, they rarely only accept reference letters so I'd start digging the evidence out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeybee Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Thought I'd update here and see where everyone else is up to. I submitted the visa on 21st September, had the health checks on the 2nd October and am sending off form for police check tomorrow. No CO yet, but I believe that people who submitted their visas in August are starting to get CO's and grants now, so I'm keeping everything crossed that so long as I get all the documents uploaded (which I've almost done) the grant should come quickly after the CO. I'm not sure whether the Health checks went through okay, a week after I had the health checks, the e-lodgement page changed to say "no need for health checks for this applicant" for both me and my Husband. I'm presuming the health checks have been cleared??? Applied to AHPRA on 15th October. They got in touch today to say the payment didn't go through (I'm presuming because I used a debit, not credit card, so my bad). They also said they need me to re-send all the documents that had to be certified, as they aren't happy with the person who certified them. I used a solicitor, this was fine with ANMAC...apparently not for AHPRA, so I'm seeing a notary public on Monday and re-sending all the docs again. (Another £100 to add to all the other expenses!) :-( But once I've ironed out these few bumps, everything should be okay. One more query, I'm confused about form 80. It's not requested on the check-list for the documents needed for 189 visas, but I've noticed that some people have been asked to submit it, so me and husband have filled a form 80 out each anyway. I'm dying to get to Australia for Christmas to spend it with the family we'll be staying with in Perth, but realistically I think it'll be January. Anyone else expecting to be moving out around that time? How is everyone else getting along? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. And I hope you hear something soon too *fingers crossed* I have paid the fee for the visa, just the Nursing registration authority whose payment didn't go through, so won't delay things with the visa. Are you not able to contact your CO in regards to having waited so long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now pay evidence (which isn't on the check-list - annoying!). I'm waiting for a CO, so I'm trying to get pay evidence ready. Out of interest, were you asked to provide evidence for 8 years as that's how long you've been employed in your skill? I've been employed as a nurse for 4 years, so thinking perhaps for me 5 years pay evidence would be enough?

Are you not able to contact your CO in regards to having waited so long? like i said, they are a system set reply, "In order to process application more efficiently, we do not reply to status inquiry e-mails" and my CO doesnt answere any of my e-mails except i get this general e-mail and if i send her the documents, i see them in my online application next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HPsauce Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I submitted on 20/09 as well. We are now on a same boat. This is now week 5, hopefully CO will contact soon. As i can see people submitted on 20s August already got granted. Cheers Hey...yep its great to see the grants going through..and gives an idea of time frames for us in the waiting I am reading more now and wondering about job/tax/pay backup ..... I sent references from each job but only for the last 3 years as that is only experience I am claiming points for. But I am working over 10 years.. Does anyone know if they will ask for references for the other years? I sent 12 months most previous payslips too but think will start digging out P45's, payslips etc for other years.. but references would take time to get so if anyone can advise on this that would be great - thanks and good luck to all!! Getting closer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting closer They'll usually only ask you to prove what you're claiming points for. So 3 years worth should be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HPsauce Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Thanks FP... and congrats on your grant happy days :cool: Probably overthinking it now, but so references ok but do you think tax /pay backup is same for only years claiming points?

Smitty Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I m worried now as I did not upload any pay slips or tax documents but just my skills assessment result, detailed references from my employers, employment history document from my previous and current employers and my CV . Do you think it is enough? What is this form 80 anyways and if they are not listed in the document checklist why are applicants being asked for those???:mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just up for doing anything which might speed up my grant!! Form 80 asks pretty much all the same info you will have already given, I think it's purpose is just to make sure everything adds up. Ugh paperwork! We applied the same time, lets hope we have CO's soon :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
